Likelihood to Recommend

Brightflag

I already recommend Brightflag to anyone and everyone who processes invoices. There is a lot of information and data that comes on these invoices, and having a system that streamlines the information in one place has been extremely useful for a department that is a cost center and needs a quick way to justify every spend.

SimpleLegal is well suited for many different sized law firms that want to centralize their matter management, spend management, and vendor management into one platform. It also meets the most rigorous reporting requirements.

  • I didn't feel like the spend management system was enough, we bypassed it and used QuickBooks.
  • SimpleLegal has a bunch of API integrations, but I think they could use some more "out of the box" integrations that didn't require a developer to set up integrations (which their open API does allow). This is just nitpicking though, they do have a good amount of out of the box integrations.

Usability

Brightflag

Brightflag 10.0
Based on 1 answer
Super easy to set up and use. The interface is intuitive, but it's worth spending some time getting used to seeing where the different "file cabinets" are located. I recommend having one person dedicated to the day-to-day management of the platform (separate from the reviewers and approvers), someone who just manages to upload the invoices, setting up new vendors, liaising with BF Support, but cross-training everyone who uses it on the broad functions.

Support Rating

Brightflag 10.0
Based on 1 answer
Customer support is spectacular. Probably the single best quality of this product. They are quick to respond, quick to troubleshoot, and quick to offer suggestions on workarounds for things that might still be in the works (or unique to us). That level of agility and can-do attitude is what I needed in a partner like this.

SimpleLegal was much easier to use and train users on than Time Matters. SimpleLegal had all of the functionality but not as many customizable features as Time Matters.

Return on Investment

Brightflag

  • ROI has been superb: saw a 30% drop in legal spend (based on invoice amount) due to catching items that shouldn't have been charged or charges that exceeded agreed-upon caps.
  • Being able to add prior years' invoices to the system has been incredible since it allows for internal benchmarking and YoY comparison reporting.

  • SimpleLegal really helped streamline our operations by allowing us to retire some legacy systems that each had 1 purpose and replace them all with SimpleLegal's all in one application.
  • SimpleLegal saved us tons of time creating manual reports for our managing partner using its build in reporting/analytics module.
