Considered Both Products
Assembly Neos
Chose Assembly Neos
We selected Neos because we already had Needles, and it was going to be the most cost-effective and seamless transition. We have always considered Filevine and evaluate it once a year or so, but we usually stay with Neos because we don't want to deal with the migration.
Filevine
Chose Filevine
In comparison to past products I have used in the past, including Needles and TrialWorks, Filevine is just as great a product and even has some features and abilities that the others haven't. I would prefer to continue using Filevine.
Chose Filevine
I think Filevine is much easier to use than the other two products because it has more features, runs faster, less bugs than the other products.

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.

AI is here - whether we like it or not, lawyers and paralegals are using it. Filevine gives users the AI in a safe way that isn't in the public domain or discoverable. Lois has given our users the AI tools so we can control how AI is deployed and used, keeping our data safe, our client information protected and eliminating the possibility of any open AI searches being discoverable

Cons
Assembly Software
  • 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 think the new update on contact cards needs to be a little more simpler, I love that they added the extension portion, but it's just a bit clunky and too big. It also take longer to load.
  • I think that Filevine doesn't need to log you out every day, when I log it it give me the option to remember device for 180 days, sometimes im in the middle of editing a document in Filevine and it signs me out.

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.

Usability
Assembly Software
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.

Filevine
It is very user friendly. I can upload documents and ask questions like any AI tool, but it is secure and not published publicly for client confidentiality reasons. I think it is helpful for quickly reviewing files for next steps and what has been done on the case. It is less helpful for legal advice because of hallucination concerns, although I haven't attempted to have it cite to case law

Support Rating
Assembly Software
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

Their live video chat support is a good resource, but often the problem cannot be resolved through this chat, and then promises to have someone follow up are almost always dropped. Filevine fails to make corrections for glitches or missing basic functions.

Filevine charged a lot for implementation, both directly to Filevine and their partners, but they failed to deliver on what was promised

Alternatives Considered
Assembly Software
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.

I have not used any other system before and I cannot imagine myself using any other one. I am used to the layout and overall whole design of Filevine so I hope I don't have to switch to a different system any time soon or ever in the coming future

Return on Investment
Assembly Software
  • 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.
