LEAP is a really good option for small to medium sized firms. Most products on the market are expensive document management systems designed for large law firms. The other are case management software that are great for billing, contacts and calendaring. LEAP seems to combine both of the options in an easy to use system. It is customizable but is fully functional as an "off the shelf" product unlike IManage or similar products.
PCLaw is well suited for small to medium sized law firms with minimal accounting and bookkeeping needs. The software provides basic case management functions, and I've encountered issues with viewing or organizing new documents. The software crashes and freezes often, especially when multiple users are trying to access it at the same time. The user interface is a bit outdated but still very easy to navigate. You have to pay more for the cloud-based version of the software and it does not allow software integrations or workflow automations. I would recommend using this software only for billing/accounting purposes and subsidizing case management with more modernized products
The software may not be pretty, but it works. It could use a facelift but the functionality is still there. Personally, I would like to see an investment to make it prettier, but again, function over fashion. It is not a client-facing application, so internal use does not need to be razzle-dazzle.
I've always had positive phone calls with PCLaw support. I usually have my questions answered within a few minutes of my phone call, and rarely have to go into very much detail
IManage was great but we were quoted up to $40,000 to "customize" it to perform as it did in demonstrations. IManage was clearly designed/priced for large, multi-offices. LexWorkplace was another program that worked really well. It had real problems converting emails and certain files from our old program, Time Matters. LEAP was a reasonable, comprehensive program. It offered customer service, training and data conversion as part of the package.
PC Law is quicker and cheaper. With CosmoLex, I found that I waited a little longer for reports and documents to generate and for transactions to be saved. In all other areas, I found CosmoLex to be better as it is more intuitive to use and the user interface is clean and easy to use. CosmoLex does not provide a receipt when receiving funds for some reason, which is something that I like about PC Law. When entering data, you can enter the data for multiple entries at a time whereas with CosmoLex, you enter the data for one transaction/billing/expense/etc, and then you have to save it before going on to do another entry. This doesn't take too long, but there is often a delay of a few seconds which is very frustrating when you are used to the speed of PC Law.
