Chose Filevine
I have previously used LegalServer, which I felt was not as easy/user friendly as Filevine has been. The layout was a lot more technical looking and it was much more difficult to navigate through the case files. The one major thing I will say that I liked more about LegalServer
Chose Filevine
Filevine is so much more detailed and extensive in terms of keeping all the information for each case in one place. I can even edit docs within filevine and combine docs and create emails and faxes right from within. I feel Filevine is an all in one stop and helps keep …
Chose Filevine
I wasn't involved with the decision; I inherited it.
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.
Chose Filevine
Excellent in comparison. It took me a year to learn how to use Abacus.
Chose Filevine
File Vine is an excellent product due to its ease of use and organizational capabilities. Have used another product, but it's not as vast as File Vine.
Chose Filevine
I have used Zelous. It is a smaller known case management software. I was a public defender. it was created for public defenders by public defenders. I have also used Defender Data. Filevine blows both of these products out of the water.
Chose Filevine
Filevine is much simpler to use
Chose Filevine
much more customizable. We have a niche practice - ERISA - not a personal injury practice. Clio does not fit what we do and Filevine can be customized to fit.
Chose Filevine
Night and day difference between FV and Practice Panther. PP was easy to start but has massive limitations. FV can be built for anything. It's the Salesforce of this segment.
Chose Filevine
Filevine is much easier to learn and use, the user interface is more appealing (with bigger fonts and easy-to-understand icons), and its customization feature is easier to use and understand.
Chose Filevine
Filevine is much worse than Clio. Very rough poorly polished. I don't know who would use Filevine or why.

File Vine is well-suited because I believe it was invented to assist Law Firms with document organization for the legal cases collected in a Law Firm. It is easy to navigate and find your documents with a click of a button.

Cons
Filevine
  • The PDF document editor can be easier when trying to save changes. Make a button that says save changes, instead of save file.
  • The contacts can probably be more streamlined so that there are not multiple contacts for the same individual or business.
  • Tasks should automatically be changed to a new individual in a parallel role when the file changes teams.

Usability
Filevine
Filevine is pretty user friendly. The interface looks good and it is relatively easy to navigate. I would identify as someone who is pretty tech savvy but for someone who isn't so experienced, Filevine is still very usable. Rarely do I come across an issue that I cannot find some alternate work around

Alternatives Considered
Filevine
I’ve tried Clio, MyCase, and PracticePanther. Clio is super user-friendly with lots of integrations, MyCase is great for billing and communication but more limited on automation, and PracticePanther is easy to use but not as strong on reporting. Compared to them, Filevine feels more customizable and workflow-focused, though it does take more time to learn.

Return on Investment
Filevine
  • Allows much attention to detail on many cases. We can handle more cases more easily. Revenue is up for several years by at least 25%
  • Better client communication and less expensive with texting from the file. Less expense than letters. Reduction in letterhead and postage costs of at least $2000 per year. Emailed letters may not be noticed as quickly but text messages are.
  • Less time on billing. Saves on our bookkeeper tasks making it more part time and allows paralegal tasks to be added for this person increasing productivity.
