I have read a bit about digital summarizing tools (for instance, see the pages below) but I'm wondering if they're useful in academic writing especially in lit review. What's your opinion and experience in this regard?

Only on rare occasions I use them. Usually, after reading and writing a lot, a person develops his/her own way to summarize long information pieces.

Some summarizing tools often tamper with the idea(s) being expressed in the write-up especially the free types. It is important to maintain the theme by relying on your ability to maintain focus while using the tools. I rarely use them, and when i do, it is usually about 10% or less.
Hi, Aryan!
How are you doing in these agonizing times? Please stay safe and stay smiling (as you are in your profile picture)!
I honestly feel that that our brain remains the best free summarizing tool ever, especially in academic and fiction writing. I have never used them personally so can not make a comment on them but from what I read above, Mr. Augustine and Mr. Ibrahim seem to support my argument.
I think the author of a publication should be able to write a summary of the most important statements himself. Otherwise there is the suspicion that he himself has not understood exactly what his statements actually are. I doubt that a tool would be able to find these out.
