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.”

BONNIE R.

FIRM ADMINISTRATOR

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

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

“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

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.”

Edie Z.

Legal Software Consultant, Owner

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

Shreyas N.

Law Practitioner

“Not being able to split bill.”

Elizabeth S.

Paralegal

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”
