A Positive and Productive Experience with Centerbase

I’ve had an overall positive experience using Centerbase. The platform is intuitive and well-organized, making it easy to manage daily tasks efficiently. Its features streamline workflows, save time, and help keep everything in one place. Customer support has also been responsive and helpful whenever questions come up, which adds to the overall value of the software.

Pros:

Centerbase has been a reliable and efficient platform for managing our daily operations. Its all-in-one approach makes billing, accounting, and case management much more streamlined, saving time and reducing manual work. The interface is intuitive, and the support team is responsive and helpful. Overall, Centerbase has been a great solution for keeping our workflows organized and running smoothly

Cons:

Centerbase can feel overwhelming at first due to its many features, and the learning curve may take some time for new users to navigate efficiently.

Happy CB User 2+ years

Have been using Centerbase since February, 2022. Although the migration was difficult due to implementation manager (who is no longer with CB) the team who took over to coordinate and address issues were outstanding and created a smoother transition. The new Success Manager and has been instrumental in our firm's success to date and continues to be available to our administration when needed. Ease of use between main office and other locations was a factor in cloud-based software.

Functionality

Pros:

Ability to use both accounting program and billing program simultaneously. Need to create double entries into two prior programs was time consuming and the Centerbase platform has allowed time to be freed up. Attorneys' ability to enter time as well as approve prebills has also been productive in delivering invoices to clients in a timely fashion.

Cons:

Occasionally system runs a bit slow and requires refreshing/restarting of program mostly during monthly billing cycle. Would like Reports on time entry be a bit more specific and customizable. Requires data review in excel format which creates an additional time burden.

Reasons for choosing Centerbase

We wanted a cloud based all in one solution that did not need to be linked with another product. This is that product!

Reasons for switching to Centerbase

Both systems did not work together resulting in double entry.

High potential but low on delivery

If we had it to do over again, we would not select the product. Many of the features that we purchases Centerbase for do not work in real time. We are a cotingent law firm and the software is just not capable of handling the way that we work.

Pros:

We were drawn to Centerbase due to the potential reporting capabilities and the ability to maintain our bookkeeping and accounting functions in one place, eliminating the need for double entry.

Cons:

So far, we have had trouble with stability. The reports often do not function, the slowness of the product is a constant issue, obtaining a conversation with support staff that can understand and address our issues has been nearly impossible.

Reasons for choosing Centerbase

Cost and features, however if we could do it over, we wold make a different selection.

Pros:

What I like most about Centerbase are the features that provide increased efficiency. More specifically, the billing tabs, ePreBill review process, and Microsoft add-ins that allow our employees to seamlessly work across multiple applications in sync with Centerbase.

Cons:

What I like least about Centerbase is the lack of detail with regard to security features or new feature roll-outs that unfortunately don't always provide users with a comprehensive understanding of the effects to workflow.

Reasons for choosing Centerbase

We liked the workflow, design, and comprehensive features of Centerbase more than LEAP.

Reasons for switching to Centerbase

We were looking for a cloud-based solution that would increase our firm's efficiency from time management, accounting, and case management. Centerbase allowed us to scale up our firm and management, especially with the ePrebill review process.

Overall the experience has been okay. We've expected much greater for the price we are paying and right now the price tag definitely does not match the product. I am hoping Centerbase will improve in many areas over the next year or so as we've had our fair share of issues.

Pros:

Centerbase is quick to learn and has many good features.

Cons:

Centerbase can be a powerful program. However, we have encountered a handful issues or learned that the program doesn't work in the way we thought it would. We had many issues with the current update and many issues with poor response times on support. Tickets will sit for days with no response and I feel that I always have to reach out to our success manager in order to get a response. Things don't feel timely and nothing seems important. Reporting is also hard to navigate as we've found that sometimes we try to create reports that we need specific for our firm and it doesn't turn out the way we want to. We'd hate to keep bothering support but I wish it was more intuitive.

Reasons for choosing Centerbase

Unknown. Not part of team that researched the alternatives.

Pros:

it centralizes key law-firm operations in one platform—combining case/matter management, time tracking, billing, and document handling in a way that reduces friction across teams. This unified workflow helps firms stay organized, improves visibility into firm performance, and makes everyday tasks more efficient.

Cons:

the learning curve and setup can be steeper than some simpler practice-management tools. For firms that just need basic workflows, it can take a bit more time and training to get everything configured and running smoothly, especially with custom fields, reports, or integrations.
