Assembly Neos vs. DocuSign vs. Spartan Case Management

When we need to message the client directly from their file, it helps us keep track of when we last spoke with the client and manage any necessary information. Also, being able to see any changes made to the cases. I have not seen a less appropriate scenario. I feel like every improvement made in Neos has worked for the best.

I am going to speak of a personal experience- on multiple occasions: I need my husband to sign documents during the day and I don't need him here- physically. He sometimes works in different parts of the state as well at his own company. There is no problem at all, as long as he has access to his cell phone, email, and cell phone service- he can sign the documents I need him to. It is AMAZING- I can't speak highly enough of Docusign.

• Stores large files/allows for large files to be easily accessed and pulled up
• The Assembly Neos tagging feature in the notes section has been incredibly helpful in keeping assignments organized and directing coworkers to certain case files
• The tabs in the Documents section are very detailed and help keep large case files organized
• The display of each file is easy to look at and organized, even when the files are very big or busy

Incentivized

• Ease of sending the same document out to multiple recipients, at multiple locations, for multiple signatures
• Quick turnaround - once the recipient signs the document, we receive notification and the document back immediately
• Can resend, alter, change, and/or add to the email and/or document that is sent out very easily
• The recipient can save the document after signing, so they too have their own electronic copy for their records

• Sometimes the updates are rolled out without a law firm minded person testing them. You can tell that technically they are well thought out, but when put to use in a firm setting, there are things that could have been easily identified by firm users and fixed before the initial roll out.
• The wish list is a great idea, but when there are features to specific things that are not working, I would rather that be fixed to make that function usable rather than being told to put it on the wish list to possibly be fixed later on.
• The integration with Microsoft typically works seamlessly. However we have been having more and more issues with the outlook integration.

• You have to purchase a subscription and unless you really need to originate a lot of documents, it's not cost-effective to maintain the subscription. It would be better to have a subscription that allows you to purchase a bundle of say, ten documents and then use them as needed for the occasional user.
• You'll be hard-pressed to find anything negative from users other than the price.

I LOVE NEOS CLIENT SOFTWARE. I've been a paralegal for 30 years, and saw the technology go from hard files, to digital; and then from using Outlook and Excel to track everything to Needles, and then finally to Neos. I love Needles, but Neos is even better. It is the best client database I've used

The product is a great tool for a remote workforce. As the company gets bigger, adding users to the account can be rather expensive. We considering providing read/sign only access for certain individuals and providing full access to other users as necessary to reduce costs.

This software deserves a ten not only because of the quality of the product you will get a the point of purchase, but also because it always improving on its features constantly. This software was very easy to learn compared to other programs that requires a prolonged acclimation time. I think it says a lot to have a tab or a spreadsheet for every instance in the litigation process.

I think I gave their rating like 10 I think for recommendations and because I think when it started it was one of a kind, it was only one in the market to do that kind of functionality and they're improving. Earlier I used to just type my initials or type my name, but now you can actually sign it with additional signature. So I think they're improving.

It does not go down. I have had zero issues with DocuSign, approaching 4 years.

Everything loads quickly. Reports are generated in a reasonable time. No noticeable difference in integrated software processing speeds.

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'd give them a 10, but there has been 1 or 2 small cases that seemed to fall to the wayside, but I was able to call them up and get them resolved. We were having a bad implementation night (after midnight) and we needed assistance from Docusign. They were able to get an engineer to help us in the early morning hours

Docusign is super easy to use, and apart from a few administration details, there was really nothing to train on. Post implementation, there were issues with configuration of auto-filled documents with the integrating 3rd party. That training required some time, because the DocuSign expert took the time to walk me through the 3rd party's configuration (how often does that happen?) so I could see how DocuSign should be best used to overcome weaknesses in the 3rd party platform. 10/10 expert care.

Until you get the hang of it, I recommend doing several internal tests before sending a document to a client. As I mentioned earlier, you have to go through a bit of trial and error at first to verify that the workflow works as expected.

Needles was what we were using before but with Assembly Neos we can work in the office or work remotely with no worries. Assembly Neos is also customizable to meet our specific and unique needs. The ability to integrate other software is also great because is makes for a more streamlined and seamless work flow.

I've worked with documents such as Oracle, Google Forms, and software of that nature. I believe that DocuSign is, has a good reputation and has been reliable for many companies. That's one of the reasons why we have adopted it in our own infrastructure. I believe that compared to other products, DocuSign is more catered to the user experience than say, Oracle or Google Forms.

In my years of using DocuSign, I have never had an outage. I haven't even encountered a bug.

• We noticed that with Neos, it gave us more insight into what our employees were getting done and not, so this was a positive.
• A negative was that because of how advanced Neos is, our attorneys had a hard time learning it, which caused lots of problems.

Incentivized

• Incredibly positive impact on sustainability in reducing our carbon footprint, as we have gone almost 100% fully digital on contract paperwork across the organisation.
• Positive ROI on efficiencies for the contract team, reduced labour hours and better turnaround time for end-users
• Increased consistency across the organisation
