    Timekeeping is good, but the report output could be better. The interface is much better than it used to be.

    Orion is a great information organizer. It can be used as a CRM for your company as well as a performance tracker. The CRM functions are minimal but do hold pertinent client information. You are able to see real-time performance data, and there is even a client-facing portal if your clients would like to see their performance. While Orion might be hard to figure out, it's a wealth of information and worth figuring out the best case use for your firm.

    The legal world- you need this program. There are plenty of other options out there, but TM is by far the best that I have used. This program works for an office of 1 to an office of 100. I have no clue how it would work in any other jobs, it is designed for legal work.

    It is a complex system and difficult to onboard and figure out, BUT once you've got the hang of it, it is a great tool for your company and for your clients. The help desk is responsive and knowledgeable, and does a great job sticking with you through onboarding. There are a lot of options within Orion that can feel overwhelming, but again, the help desk is fantastic.

    There is no unpaid support. They insist on a service contract for support, either with the manufacturer, or with a re-seller.

    So Juris and TM are both LexisNexis products. I dislike Juris greatly and the only thing we use it for is billing because we already had it and it was compatible with TM for billing purposes. Juris doesn't allow you any kind of document storage or management. You can make a "note" but what good does that really do me? In my opinion, Juris is good for billing only (not client management) and there are other options like QuickBooks that really outshine it.
