NEOS is THE BEST!

Neos is a case manager's best friend. The initial change from a server based program to a cloud based program was challenging. Learning new things is good, but can also be frustrating. Once I learned how to use Neos and how it integrated with our other apps, I would never go back to any other option.

PROS

Everything you can think of that is necessary for legal case management, is contained within Neos. Moreoever, Neos is committed to keeping the platform updated, so they are constantly adding and upgrading.

CONS

Neos can seem pricey to begin with, but well worth the investment. It will likely pay for itself in your ability to take on and manage more cases.

Reasons for switching to Neos

It was just a change from one Assembly product to another. We like the fact that Neos is cloud based.

Neos is a powerful cloud based software that allows me to manage my clients and cases efficiently.

The greatest problem Neos accomplished is the ability to fully use the software from anywhere. My employees and work from the office or their homes seamlessly. Features such as document management and Outlook integration has revolutionized efficiency in our law office. If we ever have an issue, the support team is very quick and helpful to resolve any issues that may come up. As an owner of the firm, I love being able to use my Dashboards to quickly measure the health of the firm.

PROS

Managing every aspect of my cases efficiently from anywhere. I love being able to track my Intakes and communicate with potential new client easily. I love being able to standardize the way all cases are handled in my office. Document management is extremely powerful. Full integration with Microsoft Outlook is awesome. I love the reporting features and dashboards that allows me measure KPIs efficiently. Our transition to Neos was quick and easy with great support from the Neos team

CONS

Neos always is offering new features almost monthly. I commonly interact with the suggestion portal (Ideas & Enhancements) where user experiences and wishes are actively addressed and implemented.

Reason for choosing Neos

I chose Neos as it provided the best productivity for the most performed tasks of the employees in my office. Some softwares may have had a nice bell or whistle. I looked at the most performed tasks and evaluated which software offered the most ease of use for my staff. I did not want to burden my staff with extra tasks on the things they do everyday/all day. Neos saves times for the tasks of my staff.

Vendor Response

Paul - Thank you for your comprehensive review of Neos. We always appreciate your feedback and take it into consideration when adding features or enhancements to the product. We love having you and your firm as a customer! - The Neos Team

A Very Expensive Microsoft 365 License w/ Very Little Additional Functionality

Implementation was not great, and I was not migrating ANY data. I still do not believe I have everything I was supposed to get. I paid $1,000.00 to do the work during my onboarding that could have been done prior to my implementation. Because Neos requires 365, during onboarding you will get to make all your Microsoft 365 and Neos connections. I assume I paid $1,000 for someone to tell me how to make the connections and 3 hours of training? Not sure. I also was not told about a bug that Neos had which prevented data from being updated and saved more than once during my implementation. I did my implementation on a Friday, and attempted to input my cases into the system on the following Saturday and could not get anything to save. I was told the following Monday about the issue, was told it was a known issue, and would be resolved in a day or so. I spent all day Saturday trying to figure out what I was doing wrong for nothing. It was ultimately fixed. But just a frustrating experience. Everyone has been genuinely nice and understanding, the limitations of the software is where my issues really are.

PROS

Neos is customizable, which is nice. You can add whatever field you want to add to any tab. It allows you to collect and input whatever data you want and you are not nearly as constrained as you are with Trial Works in terms of customization. It has a nice display. Grouping contacts is easy. Apparently, there are a bunch of reports you can use.

CONS

Functionality is not there. Commonsense things are missing from this platform. The system relies on and appears to be limited by Microsoft 365, which itself can be spotty. Neos is just Microsoft 365 apps all tied together, under a sleek looking display, but adds almost nothing to the 365-experience. 90% of the Neos platform is bundling all-things 365 together through a sleek looking display. The other 10% that you would expect Neos to have incorporated and built-in is missing. Templates have to be saved and then generated to be tested. You have to constantly change in and out of various tabs when creating a template to get your bookmarks. Good luck finding bookmarks for pronouns. I was told by Neos I should consider writing gender neutral. Ultimately, found out that I could code an if than statement in Needles should I want to use pronouns. Each bookmark in Neos will eat up a line or two of your template, which makes for errors. You can calendar within Neos, but you can't invite clients or "providers" or anyone outside your firm within Neos' calendaring feature, so it's an useless feature and users will need to rely Outlook. If you generate an email within Neos, by clicking an email link within a case, it is not saved unless you tag it in Neos. If you email a document from a case in Neos it does not prompt you with the various case contacts associated with your case so you must click through various tabs in your case file to get the email address(es) you need.

Reason for choosing Neos

I opened a law firm. The firm I came from used Trial Works, which is a clunkier, more expensive, but as I have come to find, a way better case management platform than Neos. I was an Admin at my previous firm and KNOW Trial Works. However, in making my decision of software, I was being cheap and was sold on, “Neos is the best of Needles and Trial Works put into a single platform.” It is EMPHATICALLY not. I was told that if Neos makes template creation so much easier than Trial Works, it does not. I went with Neos and should have either paid the money for Trial Works or looked elsewhere. Ultimately, if Trial Works is a 5-star case management system, Neos is a 2-star system.

Vendor Response

Michael, thank you for your candid review. We understand as a user of our desktop product, TrialWorks, your transition has involved additional modifications in converting to a web-based platform. We appreciate the opportunity to listen to the voice of our customers and share your personal experience with our Product Management team. Neos continues to evolve, adding new features monthly. We look forward to the opportunity to continue to work with you.

Neos Works for You so You Don't have to Work so Hard

[SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been tremendous to work with and will continue to help us get to the point when we fully use Neos. The initial training was not spectacular. But when she came on board, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] stepped up and that has gotten us closer to the optimized point of fully using Neos.

PROS

Neos has been a true blessing to my law firm. First, it is intuitive. You can get started using Neos without too much training and then more training when you get more involved in all that Neos can provide. The Neos Staff, [SENSITIVE CONTENT]!, has just been awesome to deal with and has been right by our side during the harder implementation of Neos. It does take time to fully use all of the powers of Neos and we are still in that process. So we look forward to the time when Neos is fully powered up and working for our clients and for us!

CONS

The integration and migration from our last software management system was difficult. But I do not think that is at the fault of Neos or the other company. We were using an antiquated system and the migration simply was not clean. And we are still working through that. But the point here is that Neos has helped us along the way with the challenging migration. And we appreciate it!

Reason for choosing Neos

Neos seemed to be more geared to personal injury case management, and my colleagues used it.

Reasons for switching to Neos

The prior system was antiquated, not well-supported and clunky and not user friendly at all.

Great service and constantly updating platform

PROS

I have been extremely pleased with Neos software, but even more so with their customer support and constant technological updates to the software platform. They are constantly offering video tutorials, and various updates to help improve the user experience. We use this constantly. It is the backbone of our firm's case management. Highly recommend!

CONS

Can be glitchy sometimes. Takes several days or weeks to fix sometimes.

Reasons for switching to Neos

Better service for personal injury lawyers
