In previous versions, the product had problems with lag. This problem has been addressed and fixed.

Centerbase has improved our ability to pull meaningful reports. Customization has allowed us to enter detailed information about each case so it is easily available to all users.

The cloud function is very convenient, as are all of the integrations it has with other products. The interface is also really clean which helps encourage my people to use it.

It suits my need as a single practitioner perfectly. A lot of thought was obviously given to making it user friendly.

They have a great Word Merge feature which integrates with Word. We needed a reliable calendaring system - they're working to integrate the calendar with Outlook and Google calendars, as I understand.

Missing so many features and program is practically useless. I'm better off manually calendaring everything on my own on Outlook.

User friendly, easy to navigate, easy to edit bills.

We love being able to enter billing items from our phones and it immediately be available to bill. We love that the accounting module is built into the software as well.

Some report printing and data sorting can be difficult due to unique  formatting.

For a cloud based product the number of customization choices is amazing. Company very responsive to user feature requests.

Integration of the law pay program into centerbase has help with the collection of funds.

It was a flexible and reliable system. There were more features to take advantage of regarding Centerbase.

I'm so confused why this program has so many good reviews. This is the most frustrating program I've used.

However, CB only provides expenses per client/matter. It's confusing how to pull up total paid amount to each matter.

Our timekeepers love the straight forward use and it has increased consistency and timing of time entry.

Customization is difficult. Customer service is slow and often unresponsive.

It is also very user friendly. We also like the billing function emails.

We left Practice Advantage and the move to the cloud and the import of our data was easy and accurate. Most of the interface is very user friendly and it was easy to train out timekeeper.

The customer service is amazing. The CEO is committed to learning from his customers and actively engages and listens to help make the product better every day.

It is comprehensive and would do a well for a defense firm; however, for a Plaintiff firm this product is not useful at all.

Our experience will Centerbase has been fantastic. The software allows for lawyers to seamlessly maintain their calendars and billing.

This software allows our company to have a document management, timekeeping and reporting software all in one. Very easy for all of my staff to use and navigate daily.

Centerbase is customize-able. Customer support has been very helpful in setting up our database and reporting specifically for our practice.

Cloud based, user friendly, all in one practice management that integrates with document management software beautifully.

The matter dashboard helps me and any other user quickly asses the matter balances.

We have worked with this developer almost from the day we opened our law firm, and they have walked along side our growth and been responsive to our developing needs as we have grown.

Reporting can be a challenge but no more than most applications with lots of database.

Moreover, once payments were made it was very difficult to locate same to assure there were no overpayments.

We have been using Centerbase for 15 months and love the ability to work from anywhere we can get internet access.

The only con is that we need to review lots of data in table form. Once you chose column headings, you are stuck with those columns no matter what query you run.

It is really easy to use and has fantastic Customize-ability.

Very good customer support and I appreciate the frequent upgrades to the program.

I tested out the demo, I really like the native email client. Seems like a big improvement over outlook plug ins other services use.

The integrated accounting solution is excellent, including the ability to write checks directly from Zola.

Zola Suite has been super easy to use. Although they provided an onboarding specialist to walk me through the product, I didn't need the help.

There isn't much to say in terms of negative content that I personally have experienced.

The problem is severe - I cannot have emails piling up in my Inbox forever - and forces me to get rid of the program even though I prepaid for three annual licenses.

My only complaint is it's Outlook folder rearranging, but I expect they'll be reevaluating this soon.

A great legal management product for law office with awesome customer support.

When I moved to solo practice I knew I would need a solid and easy to use practice management system and Zola has been a perfect fit for my needs.

I've used other practice management software at other firms and this has provided the best experience and most features.

I do feel like it is helping us capture a higher percentage of our billable work than we did in the past. Most of the reporting functionality is really great.

First and foremost, being able to access the software via a web-based login is extremely useful, especially when so many of us are working from home. Time entry is straightforward and easy.

Super easy to use, straight forward pricing, lots of great functions that are actually useful. I would recommend to any practitioner.

Also, sometimes there is a lag in the email integration functions so replying to or saving an email takes longer than it should.

The Zola Suite team was amazing at holding my hand through the process and making sure that we were satisfied with everything.

Ease of orientation and use for major operational tasks such as matter maintenance, time and billing.

My experience has been great. From the onboarding process to the help center, Zola has been super helpful.

I use a lot of fields and create a lot of merge forms so having the ability to insert the field data quickly and easily is a big plus).

Another is the email integration with R-Post, providing the ability to send encrypted, registered email that provides proof of delivery and receipt. Litigators will love that capability.

Sometimes there is a delay between an email being received in my inbox and showing in Zola. Email glitches happen with some regularity.

Love the built in email. Very helpful customer support.

The best part about Zola is the customer support.

Customer support has been extremely responsive and helpful. Integration with Quickbooks Online is really nice.

The billing and expenses aspects of Zola is very user friendly.

Billing is quick and easy, as is jumping to various matters. The calendar syncs to other calendar apps, making scheduling accurate.

I have always had great customer support whenever calling Zola, and I called a lot at the beginning of the software implementation.

Emailing has limits in that there is no delivery/read receipt.

Further customer support is amazing. They promptly answer every single question and concern.

Having the ability to do not just case management and billing, but complete firm accounting/reconciliation is a godsend.

I love many features from Zola suite. Matter section is perfect.

Great software at a great price with responsive service.

What I most liked about the software was the ease of use and the great training that came along with the software.

The integrated CRM in the Enterprise Plus tier is fantastic - no need to have an outside CRM that may or may not fully integrate with your CMS.
