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.
8am MyCase stands head and shoulders above PracticePanther and probably on par with Tabs3. At the time we used Tabs3, it did not have a client portal feature and was just beginning to venture into the cloud. As such, while it had many good features, its cost and lack of …
LawPay is how I started my journey. It has been an excellent payment processor for my practice. CosmoLex is the platform I used previously - it just wasn't as robust as MyCase. I've worked in Clio environments with co-counsel on several projects. I think MyCase to Clio is a …
Prior to using MyCase, my firm relied on AbacusLaw for its CRM program. I have also used Amicus Attorney prior to that. AbacusLaw and Amicus Attorney were local area network programs using an onsite computer server. I started using MyCase so that I would have an entire …
Clio was really hard to set up (even adding clients) back in 2013. It was also way more expensive than MyCase. I've also looked into Lawcus, Practice Panther, and a few others. I decided to stay with MyCase because they add new features all the time, and it's a local company.
I prefer MyCase over the alternative practice management services out there simply because it's easy to use and straightforward. The user interface is clean and intuitive. Practice Panther comes close in that regard but still feels clunky and out dated. It makes me feel like …
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.
It is great for taking credit card payments, managing calendars, sharing and accepting document uploads and maintaining digital files. The app is better than nothing, however is vastly inferior to the web version. The time entries should show on the first screen whether they are marked as billable or non-billable without having to enter each specific time entry
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
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 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
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.
It is so easy to use. We've had multiple people join our team and they don't have any issues using it right away. It's also easy to use new features as they're developed. I think everyone should have and use a simple case management platform, and MyCase is my usual recommendation.
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
Years ago, they were very supportive. They tend to address issues, but they aren't very communicative when dealing with feedback. They just add new features suddenly. There aren't many issues with our platform, so we don't have many questions now, but years ago, we did have some issues that needed to be addressed and then they were much more responsive.
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.
Prior to using MyCase, my firm relied on AbacusLaw for its CRM program. I have also used Amicus Attorney prior to that. AbacusLaw and Amicus Attorney were local area network programs using an onsite computer server. I started using MyCase so that I would have an entire cloud-based legal CRM program. At the time its best competitive feature was that the program was entirely cloud-based and that online retrieval of documents and client contact information was easily retrievable. The best contribution of these features is not just improving team collaboration, but improving efficient communication with clients by allowing them online access to their case file and secure communication with the client portal. Our Intake staff uses Clio Grow as a CMS (Contact Management System) despite some intake features being added my MyCase in the past year. Clio Grow has a Kanban board interface to manage incoming leads and improve intake team collaboration. MyCase's intake feature is new and less robust and intuitive to use compared to Clio Grow (formerly Lexicata). From the beginning, G Suite has always been an integral tool for email and calendar management. MyCase offers email and calendar support but G Suite is easiest to use on multiple platforms and hardware devices compared to MyCase.
Organization: I know where to go for my case details
Efficiency: I just leave a window open on one screen logged into mycase and I can instantly modify/update matter details
Billing: integrated credit card payments/invoice updating is nice. Invoicing is a lot easier than prior platforms I used given you can email the invoice out directly from the platform, and see when it has been viewed.
