I have to say the Cleo support and help section is spectacular and one of the best I've ever come across. They have a clear academy which offers training on specific things you can do in the software.

Clio Manage and Grow have been excellent additions to our practice. We especially love the integrations with other programs that we use.

Lastly, the support staff with Clio is always friendly, proactive, and responsive. If we are ever experiencing a problem with Clio, their support team helps immediately to resolve the issue.

Very good value for money and functionality is great.

Document automation is TERRIBLE and invoicing just means linking to Quickbooks.

Billing is cumbersome and inefficient, lacking in options to suspend printing for those clients who are in collections.

I have reached out to the support team many times for help to figure out how to do something, they have always been helpful and kind.

All are easy to use and save us a lot of time. The mobil app is a great supplement for someone who is in court a lot.

My client started having trouble uploading her documents to me. Assignments went missing, and so deadlines were missed.

It has very robust features and integrations. I love that the document repository is built-in and built into the price.

Thank goodness I didnt cancel my MyCAse subscription and promptly went back.

Clio support confirmed that there is no way to stop this function. The search functions are terrible.

I have recommended this software to several friends and have help to train some of them on the basics while they were feeling it out.

Clio is worth every penny and like having a team of staff when I was just starting out.

I love its workflow and integrations with other platforms. The integrations are virtually seamless.

Clio takes case management to a whole new level. Not only does it help me better organize my files and tasks, but it helps me quickly go between several tasks and files with ease.

There is an enormous amount of ability to customize clients billing and matters. I've never found a software like this one before nor one that allows you so much freedom to make it your own.

I love the ease of use and price. It's very affordable and easy to learn.

Love the ease of use, ability to share invoices with clients through email and the customer support.

Clio has been fast and efficient to use. All of our documents are uploaded with ease, and many of its features are useful.

We have been very pleased with Clio's responsiveness when we need help. They are also interested in our suggestions for changes/new options.

He dedicated the time and attention to hear our needs and we are grateful for his help.

I've had a great experience. The customer support is quick and helpful when needed.

I liked how the IT team literally walked me through the entire set-up/integration. To be 100% honest, they recovered & transferred my crashed billing entries from Timeslips into their system.

Clio is great software that makes entering expenses and time entries very easy. The software is intuitive and functional.

You will never be able to speak with a supervisor. I was extremely displeased with the service and tried cancelling the service a few days after, and they refused to give me a refund.

Almost everything I need to run my law firm can be done directly from Clio. It's incredibly useful and the price is surprisingly affordable.

Super super useful and absolutely necessary to my legal practice. I have two accounts, one for my solo practice and one for a firm I work with.

It is infuriating at times. I realize this sounds stupid, but over time, they add up.

I love how easy it is to correct or edit. I love love love that I can work literally from any location.

The reports are helpful, the integrations are plentiful and the customer support is amazing.

Clio is super easy to use and you can look at all your outstanding bills along with clients who have not paid those bills in one easy place.

Unfortunately a system update eliminated the email plugin and created a new and updated one, which came with flaws that have not been corrected.

It has a clean interface and good organization for cases that require heavy organization, i.e. multiple subfolders that live in the client case folder.

The program is pretty user friendly and the ability to customize it is pretty impressive.

This is a great platform for helpdesk management. We use it for around 5 engineers and it works great as it's not over-complicated.

Lacking rudimentary filter/show by date range feature, terrible for recordkeeping.

Wonderful tracking and organization of emails and support issues, with a nice and clean UI, and simple tools to automate many support tasks.

Applications/Addons are great for customizing. Integrations with other products are fantastic.

It is easy to use and it integrates everything which is really helpful, the simplicity of the program was nice.

Freshdesk has been a great product to use for us, it's easy to use and set up and provides a much needed cost effective service.

Freshdesk was great for what we needed. We have since moved to a new product, but recommend Freshdesk to clients when appropriate.

We did not use any software before and we constantly got lost e-mails or forgotten requests because they were all handled through e-mail.

I like it's simplicity, ease of use. It has a very clean interface and is uncluttered.

So user friendly, amazing features and great customer support from pre-sales, to set up, to every day use questions.

Fresh desk is easy to use and to coordinate with a client in best way while its ticketing system is awsome.

Our department has had many debates initially but knows we all are thriving on this product and are super happy with it. A key feature would be the Freshdesk mobile application.

My favourite feature is the very clean inbox and ease of assigning emails to myself or my colleagues.

Contact management and search is awful. It is really difficult to avoid creating duplicated clients with slightly different name.

It simplified things for us, and make our daily tasks easy to maneuver through. It changed the way we work for the better, looks nice, and works well.

The team I dealt with has been great, responsive and attentive to our needs and requirements, they were very easy to work with.

My favorite features are the easy to generate ticket integration with FreshSales, real-time ticket updates, and the ability to draft canned responses for common issues.

It comes with best in class features of reporting, integration, resource management and other useful features that might prove out to be the ways for improving overall productivity.

The ability to sync, manage & assign tickets with ease. Has been a fan of there mobile app and the notifications that helps me keep a track of tickets on the go.

However,  I have terrible experience when it comes to the customer service, which is very horrible.

With their continued lack of responsiveness we cancelled our account after using the service for about a year.

The support and contact system for Freshworks/Freshdesk is as bad as it gets.

Reasonable price and a very easy interface make it an excellent pick for us.

Overall I am so glad I chose freshdesk. It’s very easy to use and is a great value.

We selected them because we can have some top notch solutions just like we had Freshdesk or Zendesk, but we do not have to leave a fortune there.

We liked the Shared ownership concept which helps communicating internally through one interface and best part is the reports structure.

Very useful for customer service agents. With the help of Freshdesk, I was able to offer great customer service to the clients who gave us good company ratings.

I really appreciate that they have a free trial to use for this software and that the customer support they offer is great and helpful.

The interface makes sense to use, and when I needed guidance, the Customer Support Team was SUPER QUICK to help me get to where I needed/wanted to be.

The only negative thing so far, is that some Spanish translations have been erroneous or inaccurate.

The additional issue is if someone can spam your Freshdesk site, then they think they can spam any of your sites.

Happy, good support and account management and good value for money compared to other services in the market.

We are able to track our customers and teams progress. Plus it started our free and there was a chance to learn and implement it into our daily routine and now we are paying for more features.

It has been very good at the time of backing up information and cycling functions that remain programs in the best way effectively.

It felt like it was meant for the company, I was very impressed with how many interesting features you have. It is very secure to use.
