Pros:

This truly helped with the amount of time that lawyers and support staff had to spend handling and processing case documents.

Tabs3 Billing, Accounting & Practice Management

I have been using Tabs3 software for 30+ years. As a consultant, I am familiar with many of the other legal software packages, and the one I use for my business is Tabs3. It continues to evolve with the latest technology, and I completely trust the integrity of the software.

Pros:

The software is rock-solid. It is comprehensive and integrates all areas of the law practice. The company (STI) is meticulous in producing bug-free software, and they are immediately responsive to all support questions. The user interface is intuitive and the work-flow is easy. The process to email bills has reduced my billing time from 2 days to 1 hour. Too many great features to list them all. I give this software my highest recommendation.

Cons:

One minor option I'd like to see is the ability to change WIP transactions for costs as well as for fees.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I have been working with Tabs3 for about 7 years, the software has more features than we even use, but are there for larger firms with more complex billing systems. In the instances when we run into a tricky situation, the phone support is fast and knowledgeable. You get a real person who does in fact know how to solve whatever issue you are having. The system is stable and we very rarely run into any software issues.

Cons:

The one situation that is a little inconvenient is that not all of the screens that are available in the Tabs3 client exist in PM. Consequently, users who are primarily using PM, have to specifically log into Tabs3 to make billing-related edits to the client profile that are not accessible in PM.

Reasons for switching to Tabs3

Timeslips as a software becomes unstable as the user count increases, causing processing issues and delays, including administrator time in addressing the instability.

Vendor Response

Jennifer, thank you for your submission. It’s great that you find the software feature-rich and Support helpful when you contact them. We also appreciate that you continue to recommend our software to others. If you would like assistance in investigating the differences the employees are seeing between the Tabs3 and PracticeMaster fields, please let Support know. Thanks again for your kind words!

Excellent for dedicated timekeepers

I have been using TABS3 for over 20 years. Prior to that time, as a CPA, I assisted attorneys who were using it as well. It is an excellent product that has been around for a long time. And this is a company that understands "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" because it works! (Don't misunderstand the difference between updated/modernized versus "overhauled". This product has kept up with the times without overreaching.)

Pros:

This is an excellent product that works as advertised. It is geared towards attorneys but, as a CPA firm, it has benefitted us greatly.

Cons:

I would like to have a better "training session" to use this software. I believe we are using it well, but it could be better benefit us (but I'm not sure how).

Tabs is good but is good enough?

Pros:

The ability to sort reports the way I wanted them, even if it took way too long to generate.

Cons:

That it takes so long for reports to generate. Not being able to "build your day" and enter by date instead of file/matter. Not being able to split bill. Not able to change code and retain entry.

Vendor Response

Elizabeth, thank you for sharing your review. If you haven’t yet contacted the Tabs3 Support Team, we would love if you would consider calling (402) 419-2210 or submitting an email request via Tabs3.com/support to share your concerns. A Support Team member would go over the functionality of the Tabs3 Software version you’re using and provide guidance with split billing and recommendations for other issues you’re having. One thing to consider would be upgrading to our Platinum Edition, which provides reports, filtering, and column sorting 10 to 30 times faster. In addition, if we don’t yet have a feature your firm needs, share your idea at wishlist@tabs3.com. We appreciate your feedback! JayC., Sr. Training Specialist
