    Chose Assembly Neos
    Neos definately has more involved in the program than the others I have used. However, I used those products before we had the technology that we have today.

    My understanding is AbacusLaw was bought out by CARET and now pushing their cloud based CMS. Support has always sucked with AbacusLaw. Again, our latest 10+ issues has been going on since 2/13/2023 and it is now 5/18/2023. Abacus STILL does not know how to fix our issues!!! For $60/month per user, you think they would have better support. I have in the process of canceling our contract for breach of contract due to support and the issues for the last 3 months and going with a new CMS. However, the partners of the firm want to stick with a self-hosted (stand alone) CMS, and they are few and far between anymore.

    In my personal experience Assembly Neos is well suited for all our business needs here at our law firm. I can't think of any scenario where it's less appropriate. I can't even imagine what my workload would be like without Assembly Neos. It makes my case management easier and bearable. If you haven't worked with Assembly Neos you should give it a try because it will meet your needs.

    Cons
    CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
    • SUPPORT STINKS - As of today we have been having issues for OVER 3 MONTHS, but Abacus now only has ONE Tier II tech, and ONE Tier III tech and neither one have figured out our problem or fixed it!
    • Having a lot of issues since day one
    • We have a self-hosted version and are not on the cloud and the updates usually bring other issues. They don't know the term "if its not broke don't fix it."

    • The lists that Neos has need to be updated and more accurate; a lot of the items are not useful.
    • Neos can be very difficult to use for someone that isn't tech savvy.
    • I wish that the notes and communications tabs were the same tab, there are almost too many tabs for information to be.

    I gave Assembly Neos a 10/10 because it has transformed how we manage cases from intake to settlement. The platform combines powerful automation, centralized document management, and seamless communication tracking in a way that saves our team hours every week. It’s intuitive for new users, highly customizable to match our workflows, and backed by responsive customer support. NeosAI and workflow automation have noticeably reduced manual tasks, allowing us to focus more on client service and case strategy. Overall, it’s become an essential tool for running our firm efficiently and effectively.

    Because it's been a good and efficient source for our company to manage our client's profiles and being able to track everything that is happening during the process of their case. And while they get the attention needed but also for us to see the progress we have made with their treatment.

    Support Rating
    CARET (Abacus Data Systems, Inc. )
    The support is generally good and relatively quick BUT when there is a new product or something they want you to buy, I have felt a bit harassed at that point by sales but when I have an issue I don't feel like support jumps on it as quick.

    Assembly Neos support is top tier. Within minutes, sometimes even seconds after submitting a ticket for help, someone from Assembly Neos is calling to help. The staff has always been extremely nice and so helpful. They always take their time explaining things and helping us to solve whatever problem we may have

    I did not evaluate MyCase when we selected AbacusLaw. I did not select AbacusLaw and was not involved at that time in the decision. I am evaluating MyCase NOW to REPLACE AbacusLaw.

    Neos stands out strongly against other case management software programs due to its consistent and frequent updates. Most software updates occur once a quarter or even once a year. I feel like I'm receiving a message from Neos Assembly once a week, advising that a new feature is in the beta stage or is now live as a complete new addition.

    • By creating well-defined processes and implementing automated systems within the platform, it has become significantly easier to handle a higher volume of cases than would be possible without any systems in place.
    • The time saved on administrative tasks can now be redirected toward higher-value activities, such as client engagement and case strategy, ultimately driving better outcomes and supporting business growth.
    • With real-time updates and shared access to documents and notes, everyone involved in a case can collaborate more effectively, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring tasks are completed on time. This transparency also helps with tracking progress and identifying areas for improvement.
