My current job uses Assembly Neos and my previous job used Needles and migrated to Neos. So far, Neos is superior to other legal practice case management programs. I have friends who work at larger firms locally who don't have any type of program like this and it blows my mind.
They are pretty comparable. I mainly use Neos to search for cases and I do all of the actual case work in Microsoft SharePoint. There are others in the firm who only use Neos. I like Neos better because of the user-friendly interface it has, and quick access to the many files …
I only watched a quick demo of this, but it seemed very similar to Assembly Neos, except that it had to be hosted on a remote environment instead of cloud based. The cloud based environment makes it much easier for our firm to work remotely or on different computers when needed.
We used TrialWorks long before we started using Salesforce. Salesforce does not have the many capabilities TrialWorks has for managing cases in a law firm.
Needles was what we were using before but with Assembly Neos we can work in the office or work remotely with no worries. Assembly Neos is also customizable to meet our specific and unique needs. The ability to integrate other software is also great because is makes for a more …
Neos gives a lot more options. The updates implemented in Neos helped me keep track of cases more easily. Neos was the easiest system to convert to compared to others. I also appreciate that Neos keeps a backup log of our work so we don't have to worry about losing it.
Assembly Neos has a new and improved look. It is spaced out so it is easy on the eyes and the tabs along the left hand side make it easy to navigate to different areas of the program. With Time Matters, everything was very "compact" view wise, and felt like a very old program …
The only other previous program I used was Needles. Which was incredibly out dated and not as user friendly. I do not have any expierence with any other programs so I cannot give specific feedback.
I have not used any other products other than Assembly Neos, due to our company only having this professional product as our home based to our client's day to day use.
I haven't used any other products like Neos. Right before joining the company, we used Needles. But I was hired right after the switch to Neos so I cannot speak on Needles.
In our case Cost was the deciding factor. We don't have a need for any advanced tools or features. Our use cases involve merging or splitting up documents, e-signatures and simple markups.
Foxit PDF Editor had the most tools that I frequently use and it had them right where I expected them. All of the others that I demoed either lacked tools I use often or were not nearly as intuitive to use.
Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom) is cheaper and easier to purchase and renew. It's layout is easier to navigate. They have used the same type of layout as Microsoft Office products so it is easier for Team Members to find what they need. It also has a few more features than …
1. In Kofax the functionality of the component is limited in that it cannot process
PDF files larger than 2 GB due to the technological constraints of
LeadTools. To process large PDF documents, it is advisable to use
Foxit PDF Editor is much more intuitive than Adobe and Apple Preview and some other PDF editors. The interface and UI are easier to manage and collaborate with, and export cleanly. It is also a good tool for more simple design projects. It's easier to merge multiple PDFs and …
Foxit comes with an offline solution that can be deployed across the company. The price is good, compared with Adobe but a bit less competitive than Kofax. The interface compared to other mentioned tools is easy to deal with and seems to be intuitive for the users who uses …
I have used Adobe is the past, and it worked just fine. However, I felt that in order to complete the tasks I needed to, I was having to take 4-5 steps just to do one thing. With Foxit PDF Editor (FoxitPhantom), most of the issues I ran into with Adobe were one simple click …
FoxitPhantom contains all the functionalities that you want from Adobe such as creating PDFs, editing PDFs, sharing PDFs, encrypting PDFs, and being a cheaper alternative. The user interface is very intuitive and matches up well with other common software like Microsoft Word …
Foxit has its own use. Compared to Bluebeam, Foxit is a way more affordable option. Foxit is a great and affordable solution for most users. The program doesn’t quite stack up against Bluebeam as far as features go. But that’s also why Bluebeam costs $350 and Foxit only costs …
Can't beat the cost and quality when compared to the more well known competitor software suites. Also much better than the random, not so well made and supported similar software out there. FoxitPhantom PDF is a solid tool to have on your computer, you will not be disappointed.
FoxitPhantom PDF is a no-brainer when compared to Adobe Acrobat. It is extremely cheaper for virtually the same product. It has all of the features that I loved about Adobe Acrobat, but for a fraction of the price. I would say FoxitPhantom PDF isn't just competitive - it's the …
We were looking at ways to help reduce our license costs, and that is what made us look into alternatives to Adobe Acrobat. The license costs about half of what we were spending for Adobe, so it was a straightforward choice for us to make. Aside from a learning curve associated …
Simpler to use, just as functional if not more so. Better, smoother integration. We went with it because of its wide functionality and client support. Overall, for the money, it is better and more reliable software.
Our main reason to review Foxit was due to the many challenges that we incurred with Adobe conversions. Additionally, trying to get Adobe to answer our inquiries was trying at best. Foxit is simply better at what they do. Another nice benefit is that Foxit is a fraction of …
FoxitPhantom PDF is a cheaper alternative to Adobe Acrobat. It can get the job done with basic PDF needs, but the user experience is not a slick as the Adobe products with the recent updates. Foxit was ultimately selected to reduce the costs for a basic PDF reader and editing …
FoxitPhantom PDF has all the same basic features that Adobe Acrobat carries, except I have personally found the editing and annotating features to be superior with FoxitPhantom. Not to mention it feels like Adobe Acrobat comes with more bloated software, whereas FoxitPhantom …
In my experience, Foxit Phantom PDF offers the exact same functions and abilities that Adobe Acrobat does. Our company chose Foxit because it was significantly less expensive.
I would say that when you want to get a bigger share of the market and take business from long time consolidated applications like Acrobat, you really need to try harder and give something more to the user to be able to change their mind and switch to Foxit. In our case …
When we need to message the client directly from their file, it helps us keep track of when we last spoke with the client and manage any necessary information. Also, being able to see any changes made to the cases. I have not seen a less appropriate scenario. I feel like every improvement made in Neos has worked for the best.
Great for marking up depositions or pleadings with highlights, comments, and notes during case review. Supports Bates stamping, password protection, and other features often required for electronic filing.
Built-in tools allow for quick and secure redaction of privileged or confidential information before sharing or filing. Less appropriate if you needed to work on real time collaboration or building complex form templates from scratch.
Stores large files/allows for large files to be easily accessed and pulled up
The Assembly Neos tagging feature in the notes section has been incredibly helpful in keeping assignments organized and directing coworkers to certain case files
The tabs in the Documents section are very detailed and help keep large case files organized
The display of each file is easy to look at and organized, even when the files are very big or busy
FoxitPhantom carries superior editing tools over Adobe Acrobat and similar products. It allows you to modify text, images, & objects in a more robust fashion
Integrates well with Microsoft Office products such as Word, PPT, & Excel
Allows you to work in a nearly paperless environment
Sometimes the updates are rolled out without a law firm minded person testing them. You can tell that technically they are well thought out, but when put to use in a firm setting, there are things that could have been easily identified by firm users and fixed before the initial roll out.
The wish list is a great idea, but when there are features to specific things that are not working, I would rather that be fixed to make that function usable rather than being told to put it on the wish list to possibly be fixed later on.
The integration with Microsoft typically works seamlessly. However we have been having more and more issues with the outlook integration.
I have a dual monitor setup at work and there are times when I wish that I could view pdf documents on both monitors at the same time. I have not yet figured out how to do that with FoxitPhantom as it appears to limit the user to displaying multiple pdf documents as separate tabs on the same screen. If dual screen is an option in the software, it needs to be more apparent.
I can't think of any other desired improvements. This software really does everything that I need it to do.
I LOVE NEOS CLIENT SOFTWARE. I've been a paralegal for 30 years, and saw the technology go from hard files, to digital; and then from using Outlook and Excel to track everything to Needles, and then finally to Neos. I love Needles, but Neos is even better. It is the best client database I've used
Because very few editors are so easy to use and deploy backed by speed and performance. Foxit PDF is known for its speed and performance, allowing users to open and work with PDF files quickly and efficiently
Foxit's user-friendly interface is easy to navigate and use, making it a popular choice for users who are new to PDF software.
This software deserves a ten not only because of the quality of the product you will get a the point of purchase, but also because it always improving on its features constantly. This software was very easy to learn compared to other programs that requires a prolonged acclimation time. I think it says a lot to have a tab or a spreadsheet for every instance in the litigation process.
Functionality and features it has as well as being quiet user friendly. It would be nice though if it wasn't laggy as often and had better page organizational tools. It often bogs down when this is being done or doesn't work properly when moving pages around and needed
FoxitPhantom PDF integrates very well with the Microsoft Office products, which is where I found I use this the most. It performs about as well as can be expected, without any out of place latency. Whether it be merging, deleting, editing or rearranging pages, its performance holds up even with larger documents.
Each and every time I call with a question, there is someone available to answer. If not, I generally receive a call back the same day and sometimes within minutes
I haven't personally had interaction with the customer support from FoxitPhantom, however based on conversations I have had with members in the organization, I was given positive feedback. Their website has a lot of information and tutorials. If you need to contact them, they are quick to respond. User manuals are readily available.
Needles was what we were using before but with Assembly Neos we can work in the office or work remotely with no worries. Assembly Neos is also customizable to meet our specific and unique needs. The ability to integrate other software is also great because is makes for a more streamlined and seamless work flow.
1. In Kofax the functionality of the component is limited in that it cannot process PDF files larger than 2 GB due to the technological constraints of LeadTools. To process large PDF documents, it is advisable to use compression as a workaround. 2. In Kofax the black and white images must be created with at least 200 dpi resolution for reading new item number barcodes as we deploy in our news room.
For a PDF software in a our company is difficult to translate the software performance into financial results. With a PDF software is a lot less obvious than an ERP of a Payroll System, but one advantage could be the savings that a lower cost of licensing would bring when it is used by a bigger number of users.
A positive impact is the ease of use when creating and filing new hired employees, but once again, it is hard to say that it is faster than a different PDF software and even if that was the case the savings in time would be probably unnoticeable. At least one would be having a process with no hassles when creating and saving your PDF documents for your employees.
So far no crashes. I have never heard a complain about Foxit crashing even when you have dozens of documents opened at the same time. We can't say the same when using other applications like Excel... This brings peace of mind and less frustrated users.
