    CARET Legal had way too many bugs and issues. I'd enter a support ticket and receive a response from support MONTHS after the fact. On random days, certain features such as searching contacts for a specific tagged field was unavailable with no explanation. These little …

    We used Clio because we thought it would be more streamlined. After using other applications like CosmoLex and Soluno which, in my opinion, have true software integration, I would absolutely use CosmoLex or Soluno over Clio, which is more expensive but, in my opinion, offers …

    I wasn't a big fan of PC Law - Old, clunky, and missing a lot of modern features that our clients wanted. I regret, however, tremendously the fact that we decided to switch to Clio. The devil we knew...

    I have used iManage in larger firms, but for my use the cost did not make sense, so I opted for Clio. Clio is not as functional compared to iManage, which I used 10 years ago.

    Clio made us a lot of promises they've been completely unable to deliver on. They said the calendar would notify clients of upcoming court dates and help us track tasks. They promised they'd streamline our processes. Instead, we're just stumbling around a dysfunctional …

    Timeslips way better product. Had no choice but to work with Clio as the management preferred the subscription model.

    we switched from Firm Central to Clio for a better array of features and abilities, we did not like the look or appeal of the plug in form builder in Firm Central and did not need or want automated forms

    I used Amicus Attorney before switching to Clio over 6 years ago. At the time, I generally liked Amicus; it was powerful but I had to run a server on one of my computers and it was much more complex than Clio as a business owner. Clio is web-based and fairly easy to use. A key …

    I used Needles 5 (desktop) and it was certainly antiquated by comparison. Needles was in some regards more customizable and allowed for tracking more case type specific things - like medical records requests, liens, etc. At the same time, it does not connect to as many third …

    We did not use any other practice management software, but I did evaluate Rocket Matter as a potential alternative. Rocket Matter does not have the same robust intake software that Clio Grow does and therefore it was not even a plausible alternative for us to implement. Clio is …

    After using MyCase for over 5 years, I realized that it was not working for the firm. The billing aspects, as well as the document aspects of the program were not supporting the natural flow of the work done in the firm. I had looked at Clio originally when I made the decision …

    I used Enterprise Elite at my former position. Although it was a complex accounting program, it was not user-friendly. Clio is much more user-friendly and anticipates what we are attempting to retrieve. Time-tracking is a breeze with Clio - the attorneys appreciate that as …

    I selected Clio for the app integrations which appeared better than Rocket Matter. I am lucky to have a fiancê in tech who has helped me tremendously with automation and Clio has been relatively easy to use. When I selected Clio, it didn't look like Rocket Matter had the same …

    As a consultant that has used many different software, Clio is among the best. But anyone considering software needs to think about their needs and requirements in order to find the best fit. Simply buying good software will not necessarily fix any issues. The issues need to be …

    I switched from MyCase to Clio and haven't looked back. MyCase is decent, but I felt like I could use basic timekeeping/invoicing software for less $$ than MyCase.

    Clio has more features, and looks to be working to continually improve.

    The law offices I worked at used Amicus Attorney and their own homebrew system created by one of the managing partners. I will focus on Amicus mostly, as the homebrew system is not available to anyone else, though I will note that many things that Clio does right is also done …

    The UI is far better than MyCase. For RocketMatter, it was 6 vs. half dozen. But for a dumb name, our firm may have chosen rocket matter. They do many of the same things.

    Clio has the gravitas of having been first and longest to the cloud based law practice management system. …
