“iManage is the absolute best document management program there is for organizing each client's directory, providing document numbers, and all of the other features the program offers.”
“Omega is a great system because it is so all-inclusive.”
“ProLaw is a very comprehensive system and easy to use.”
“The CaseMap Suite works well for attorneys - flexible. It has great technical support, and they continue to improve the software's features regularly.”
“Amicus: Easy use interface; good at calendaring and docketing.”
“Timeslips is a solid billing and time keeping program.”
“TABS: The case management/calendaring portion works well.”
What Works Well
![Page 8: May 2010 lunch and learn on legal technology](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55535a24b4c905cf188b4933/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“TrialDirector: not particularly intuitive” “TrialWorks: We don't like at all” “Summation has poor technical
support, and they're over-priced” “Equitrac is extremely over-priced & is
extremely slow” “Making double entries between
Timeslips and Quickbooks is a recipe for error and a time killer”
“redundant to enter things between
Amicus, TimeSlips and QuickBooks”
What Isn’t Working Well

iManage WorkSite
Pros Cons
iManage is highly customizable and can be tailored to meet the unique needs of almost any firm
“Great to create paperless office”
Most used document management software in the legal industry
Superior functionality
Software cost and hardware requirements may make it cost-prohibitive for the smallest firms
The multitude of ways that things can be done in iManage make user training and follow-up a must. If users are left to figure it out on their own, they may discover a difficult way to do something that would otherwise be very simple
