Ironclad is not for everyone
Ironclad is popular with enterprise clients but less so with
scaling teams because of cost and flexibility.
High implementation time
Setting up the Ironclad repository and workflows is complex. It takes weeks and months to get started especially with legacy contracts.
You pay more
With Ironclad you will always pay more. The costs of implementation, support, and product modules are higher, making it inaccessible to scaling teams.
Limited AI functionality
Ironclad users say that editing metadata tags requires manual editing in the backend. This makes it difficult for customization on the fly.
Complex interface
The AI review and workflow UI are not intuitive for legal users. They are buggy and lack a seamless integration with Microsoft Word plugin.
Ironclad users find the platform difficult to
implement and expensive with a limited AI engine

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
"Not intuitive and cumbersome"
It is not at all intuitive. It does not send notifications so when Legal has created or updated a document for Sales, nothing notifies Sales that it is ready.
Cindy P
Enterprise (>1000 emp.)
"Many features are clunky and non-intuitive."
The business model seems to have shifted to more of a "self serve" by way of searching through Help Topics and Community Forums.

"Ironclad from ops perspective"
Ironclad does not allow functionality that cross references different agreements without super admin rights on the user level.

"Not bad but have used better"
If you're not tech savvy or if you've never used it before it takes a while to get used to.

"Its meh."
Not very user-friendly, which discourages Sales from using it properly.

Small-Business (50 or few emp.)
"Excelleny with a few Kinks."
It was not as user friendly or intuitive.
We took demos of around 5 CLM vendors and chose to go with HyperStart. They were the only CLM vendor who had SOC2 compliance and met the criteria of around 22 parameters which we had evaluated them on.
