Pros

“Its cloud-based access means I can work securely from anywhere, and the seamless integrations with tools like QuickBooks, Zoom, and Microsoft 365 streamline my workflow.”

Michael Y.

system engineer

“Clio has an accounting platform, which sync's to your main program, so you can stay on top of state codes that request you maintain records on IOLTA trust accounts.”

Missy R.

Firm Administrator and Legal Assistant

“The platform is intuitive and accessible remotely, making it convenient for both office and mobile use. While there are some limitations with customization and the cost can increase as additional features or users are added, overall it has been an effective tool for improving workflow efficiency and keeping client matters organized.”

Samantha M.

Senior Paralegal Office Manager

Pros

“The client tracking and goal-setting tools are especially helpful, and I love having the ability to monitor performance and quickly reference customer history in one place.”

Mary P.

Media Advisor

“The conversion over - which was not there fault per se, but anyone converting I suggest they talk to some at MM and request an account manager that has experience with a conversion from the platform you previously were on.”

Jennifer R.

VP of Finance and Operations

“Once dialed in, it streamlines communication, workflow management, and customer relationships in a way that supports growth instead of slowing it down.”

Adeina M.

Sales and Marketing Coordinator

Cons

“The templates offered are not that robust, and there was no option for direct output to Microsoft Word or RTF. To effectively use Clio, one really has to know a lot about editing PDFs.”

Elan W.

Managing Member

“The inability to inform clients that the office is closed and to place limits on when clients can text you via Clio communication.”

Schantell C.

Attorney

“I tried to do the learning parhs but i am not learning anythong the learning paths do not show me the clio website I am teying to get certified with clio the training modules do not contsin what the wenstie looks like practice clicks or anyting”

Juan S.

Paralegal

Cons

“The one thing I don't like is that you can't map email addresses input through the email upload back to contacts in the CRM.”

James S.

Administrator

“As a Canadian publisher with multi currency we had a few glitches with billing and connecting to Quickbooks. ”

Mark V.

Owner, Publisher

“Sometimes I find there’s a bit too much information, or I’m not always sure how to use certain features. But I know this mainly comes down to a lack of training on my side, which is why I try to join the webinars each week.”

Cecile S.

Ad Coordinator and sales support
