Pros

I love the ease of use and the ability to always have access to documents even after they are deleted.
As a sole practitioner I need software that helps keeping my files and billing organized. I have used Smokeball for a few years now and I really appreciate the ease of use and friendly, helpful staff.
Now I completely love that there are a lot of components to it. I absolutely love that SB is integrated with Outlook to save emails right to the client matter, this way I never forget to save them.

Pros

The onboarding team and support were super helpful every step of the way and ensured that we were ready to have a successful launch for our employees.
It is easy to use and to navigate. I think it is very user friendly and has some great features and integrations like Slack.
It's quick and easy to upload, tag, and share assets. The support team was super helpful when needed.

Cons

Missing deadlines while using this program are hard to come by.
Sometimes It can be slow to operate and the interface annoying.
Lack of notification about the messages inside the network.

Cons

As with any software, having a dedicated admin is necessary and a lack thereof can be frustrating.
Lastly, the templating feature through PrintUI was so confusing to implement that the task has been handed through three different people in our office and we never got it off the ground.
Everything is case sensitive - which leads to our team members creating lots of duplicate tags. It is also a bit of a mess getting your team aligned with tags/labels/sections.
