Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been an enthusiastic user of EndNote since its earliest versions. I use EndNote on an almost daily basis, preparing scientific journal articles and using the program to search the Medline database. As EndNote has reached its current version, however, the Macintosh version seem to be a low priority of the parent company. Specifically, the X4 version is incompatible with Microsoft Office 2011 and as I write this review in mid December an Office 2011 updater is still not available some 4-5 months after Office 2011 went Golden Master. On the EndNote users forum website an updater is promised "in early 2011". In my mind this is unacceptable. Competitive products such as bookends are already Office 2011 compatible.
If you have Office 2011 installed on your Mac, be aware that you won't be able to use EndNote's 'Cite while you write' module (which is the main selling point of the software) with Word 2011. When they finally release a compatible version I'll probably upgrade my rating, but given the company's recent track record of not moving quickly on OS X or MS-Office updates for their Mac version, I am planning to switch to another bibliography software program to avoid being left behind after the next Mac OS X or MS-Office update.
