Pros

“I think there's room for improvement with the Accounts Payable application. While you cannot change a posted item (nor should you have that ability), you should be able to at least VIEW the item once it is archived.”
BR

BONNIE R.

FIRM ADMINISTRATOR

“TABS Software has given us a streamline to our billing, bookkeeping, collections and reporting tools.”
CM

Chris M.

Administrator

“My overall experience with Tabs3 has been over a 25 year span where I have sold, installed, customized and trained end-users all over the United States.”

Edie Z.

Legal Software Consultant, Owner

Pros

“I kept a stand-alone license of Abacus (Amicus's successor) just to ensure I could access data for cases pending prior to changing case management software products. Once those cases had concluded, I decided to close down Abacus and sent a notice of cancellation.”
RK

Richard K.

Partner/Owner

“A very basic service.”
KT

Katie T.

Owner

“It asks all the right questions and requested a wealth of information on behalf of the client.”
DS

Deidre' S.

Associate Attorney

Cons

“With that being said, the things that irritate me with Tabs3 are minor implementation scenarios that could be streamlined. But the end-user does not feel that pain on a large job.”

“The interface isn't super intuitive, so training new people on it always takes a while.”

“Not being able to split bill.”

Elizabeth S.

Paralegal

Cons

“I have never been so disgusted by the treatment I received when I tried to cancel my service after over a decade (to move to another software IN THEIR COMPANY.)”
KT

Katie T.

Owner

“I didn’t like that we had a difficult time getting into our system if their system was down.”

“I would never recommend this to any other business owner.”
