Simple time entry

PROS

I enjoy how I am able to keep track of time and managing the billing system with ease.

Dont like that we must shut down the system in its entirety to run the bills but, only done for a small amount of time.

Solid in the legal vertical

Overall positive. The core app is solid and works well. The newer Services Framework apps are now maturing to be good. The overall direction of travel with the product is encouraging.

PROS

It covers all aspects of legal practice for firms of a certain size. It is solid as a core for building a legal practice And easily customisable to handle localisation. Allows augmentation using the core data and has a well documented data dictionary which helps with custom reporting and BI.

CONS

Upgrades are challenging and QA needs to improve. Complexity can be daunting making it harder to fully skill up technical teams.

Reason for choosing Expert

It was Elite Enterprise at the time. The ability to customise and adapt was seen as valuable and has proven so. We do not regret the decision.

Limited Customization is the Biggest Problem

We have used the software since 2010 and it was Client Profiles. When Aderant took over the company there have been some upgrades but not many. Some needed features were taken away and others that are not very useful were added. Our biggest issue is that there is little to no customization on the screens you need to customize and the things that need fixed take forever to get done in a patch which is unacceptable for clients to have to "live" with problems for months to a year. Another issue is that they provide you with a reporting system but when you need help with it, they charge you an expensive fee per hour to talk to you. You cannot provide a software for someone to use and just turn them loose with no training on it at all. They are currently revamping the software to a web-based version with many more customizations. We will see where this goes. I am optimistic

PROS

Ease of use, customer service has definitely improved

CONS

Limited on customizations and software is definitely not made for mass tort.

Aderant Expert Suite - Absolutely Necessary for Legal Practice

PROS

I could not efficiently manage my legal practice without the use of Aderant Expert tools, namely Expert Time. They have become indispensable tools to keep me up-to-date and organized with my billing and case load.

CONS

The Aderant Expert suite tools have a bit of a learning curve.

Intuitive, thorough, innovative and reliable

PROS

User friendly and the migration to Microsoft based workflow technology is a step in the right direction. Very cutting edge and progressive, because they LISTEN to their customers.

CONS

Lack of support in the above mentioned workflow technology. Seems that they want to market and sell it but don't completely understand it and have problems troubleshooting it. Another area of challenge is their professional services. Upgrades ' enhancements are difficult to accomplish due to lack of talented PS staff.

overpriced for quality and ease of use seems to be outdated

PROS

liked the functionality of the program, did not like that the program required it's own separate server

CONS

overkill for the use of what our firm required, personal injury lawyers recommended it when our firm added that area of practice but it was extremely expensive and never worked the way we would have utilized it

Works well, sometimes

Good and bad at times. Relying in this to keep track of time and worried sometimes that time is not being saved.

PROS

Nice to track time for work completed. Easy to use and track all time. Nice set of features for accomplishing goals.

CONS

I've had many errors with this software. It crashes on me often and can cause problems at times with tracking time.

I love you, I love you not.

Overall, it does what I need it to do. I'm continually asking finance for help in finding what I need, but usually, I can get a hold of the stats I'm looking for.

PROS

Aderant allows me to search for an see all attorney activity in one place. I can see hour and dollar figures in one place when I need it through Aderant Expert. After a bit of self-training, I was able to figure out the structure of the application pretty easily.

CONS

Information can get quickly buried and the Aderant Expert app is hardly user-friendly. I often have to dig through lots of info to find what I need and running reports is nearly impossible. Searching for clients and timekeepers is also a mess.

Read between the Lines like an Expert

PROS

Great file management for researching issues in a case or topic. Very helpful and eliminates the need for one of the staff members as this saved a ton of time.

CONS

Getting to understand it and make sure the database is complete. I feel like I am still underutilizing it in my research and need more intuitive devices, so I am sure I have a complete material survey.

Reasons for switching to Expert

Less time organizing the files to search and better OCR capabilities.

Aderant for account management

Overall aderant was great for a case management database and keeping track of some tasks and duties.

PROS

Aderant was very basic in the way that our office used it. You did not have to worry about the system being boggled down or overwhelmed by unnecessary data or shortcuts because it was very simply laid out.

CONS

We weren't able to update it and modify it to grow with our company. It did not have any associated reporting features.

Viable time entry program

We have used Aderant for several years. Aderant on the go is backwards. The fields are opposite the fields on the desktop version which is very frustrating

PROS

It is pretty intuitive and the fields are easy to navigate

CONS

It seems clunky at times and you cannot sync your ex mails to have them entered as time

Reasons for switching to Expert

I don’t recall the name of the other software, it has been several years.

Customizable Case Management Software

I was lead in customizing, training, and developing Adherant in my firm.

PROS

The ability to customize this software for different case types alone makes this one of the best products out there. For instance, a worker's compensation case has different requirements than a tort case. The ability to assign clients/experts/witnesses/other involved people to a case, and then be able to see which individual unrelated cases they may be assigned to is also excellent. Finally, the ability to create specific forms that can be merged with case information stored in the program takes hours of grunt work off your shoulders

CONS

The billing module is terrible and needs a lot of work.

I Wanted To Buy and Left 3 Voice Messages

I wanted Client Profiles and leaned they were bought out and renamed Aderant. So I visited their website, filled out the online form for a member of the sales team to call me and sell me their product. Ashley called and left a message. I've tried to call her 3 times and left two messages. I've tried to call the main number twice and get someone else, leaving a message once. All of this over a period of two weeks. No return calls. No effort to sell. And based on the review, I'm moving on. Good luck Client Profiles.

We used the CP product before Aderant took it over. There customer service is horrendous. To quote my IT guy, "I have no idea how this company stays in business."
