The integration of Word and Outlook are amazing time savers. The new Ai feature is awesome.

Definitely helped as far as organization of emails and other important documents. Easy to use and also has a speedy search engine.

I would recommend any law office with a large client base or just starting out to invest in Smokeball.

It is intuitive and works seemlessly with Microsoft Word and Outlook; it provides excellent customer service; it is accessible from one's phone.

M a recent user, and am completely happy with the software, the customer service and the price. I recommend Smokeball to any small law firm.

This software is easy to use and all of my staff love it. It improves our workflow, makes us more efficient and makes every day more enjoyable.

I have been extremely happy with the move to Smokeball over a year ago. My billing has increased and the usage of the system helps me coordinate and keep up with my case load.

Implementation was super smooth and the support people are so responsive and helpful.

The document automation saves me time and headache with formatting. The integration features make sure that nothing I do is missing in the client files.

Time recording and billing are our favourite features. Smokeball allows easy file access in an organised platform.

The ease of organizing files and search capabilities are outstanding. I like the ability to work offline while traveling, and it has become an asset when working out of the office.

I love the customer support for smokeball. They are always there to walk you through things and help create a better system.

They also lack CRM functionality that many other providers are offering. Their closed API also makes it difficult to integrate with other software providers.

The integration with Microsoft Word and Outlook are great. Unlike other software programs, they work all the time and are easy to use.

Smokeball tech support is readily available and fantastic. There is so much functionality to what this software can do.

AI time tracking could be great feature if it continues to improve. Like the UI and the always available in the cloud feature.

Easy to use, easy to implement. Customer service is excellent they are always willing to improve their product and help with issues and questions.

The ease of the program and the ability of the support staff to make changes to the software to  specifications needed. The time saved with the use of this program is incredible.

They seem unconcerned about security issues that result. Fixing invoices is problematic.

The ease of integration for the products that I use is excellent and seamless. The time tracking capabilities help make sure that I don't miss a billable.

The billing features are what I like most as the the firm admin. It is extremely user friendly and helps me to stay on top of our accounts receivable.

No accounting or linking with QuickBooks. The offered document template set ups by their staff are poorly executed.

The biggest drawback for me is the inability to customize containers for info that we would use in our office setting.

It's very intuitive, efficient, and their support team is always helpful. I've called a number of times, and they are always easy to talk to and help answer my question.

Can overstate the quality of the program, the ease of use, and the customer service and support.

Everything is in one place and looks fantastic. Client's info, documents, notes, calendar items, billing, it's all in front of you.

It's difficult to switch from Plaintiff to Defendant if you open a case the wrong way, especially if you already have a lot of information in the case.

No sales tax calculation makes me unable to use the billing feature.

Great product but still lacking in essential features.

In other words even if you stop using their service you will personally have to still keep paying.

Smokeball has been an excellent practice management program for us, and their staff are prompt and helpful in helping with our needs.

Luckily for us, Smokeball is everywhere we are. With help from Smokeball's cloud-based system, we were able to transition to working from home very quickly and easily.

Excellent, saves time and helps me earn more money.

The ease of setting up and the simplicity of the screens and their applicability to the actual goal of capturing time and billing it.

Easy to use and administer. Able to figure out how to accomplish what I need to do with the built-in help or through the online knowledge base.

I like the ease of use of Tabs3. It does everything we need it to do.

Otherwise, I haven't found any additional negative things about Tabs.

I believe Tabs is very good at helping you capture billable time.

Practice Master has great features and is a great database for containing the information needed for our clients.

When cost codes are needed for certain accounts they are easy to use and the reports that can be generated are very detailed.

We love it's ease of use and ability to customize the PracticeMaster module. It's intuitive and the billing side is very robust.

The software makes the accounting, bill paying and billing very easy to do. As they have updated the software they continue to add features that save time and therefore, money.

I rarely was able to use the program, each time I tries there was some new error message and a need to seek out tech department, truly a terrible experience.

Great technical support based in the United States.

The deeper you go into customization, the more difficult it gets to 'program' it, so to speak.

The trust accounting module is excellent and makes it really easy to comply with the bar associations regulations on lawyers' trust accounts.

Those are the two main things I dislike about the software.

This is a huge improvement to our old method of running reports to calculate costs for mediations, so I have to say its a great feature to have.

Everything integrates and saves time. Very easy to use and user friendly.

Requires Windows operating system and no web-based access.

It was difficult to learn initially. Our consultant spent a day with me in our office showing me how to use it.

When I create my own problem within the program.

Anytime we  run into a problem, they are always able to solve it.

Our firm started with the TABS3 billing software initially, we loved how simple billing a client became and later added the full accounting package. It has made our lives so much easier.

Excellent Support for Outstanding Time, Billing, and Practice Management.

This billing software serves our purpose and does everything we need it to do. The customer support is outstanding.

Also, the Help query gives lots of good documentation and tips. We installed easily, ran into some snags  in first month but were quickly addressed with help from customer support.

I like the integration between the different financial modules and the context-sensitive help facility.

I like working with my representative and how all programs are integrated for ease of use and efficiency.
