Filevine vs. Litera Litigate

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.

• Customization - you can easily add sections and fields
• Workato and Zapier integration works well - we can connect Filevine to a multitude of other platforms and services
• Texting and faxing is available across the entire platform
• Integration with Vinesign for e-signature completion

Incentivized

• 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.

Filevine is complex, and while it manages documents well, it fails in almost every other aspect. It does not do a two-way sync to your outside calendar, and you can forget about having reports available to easily monitor performance. The reporting system appears robust but complicated at first, but then it becomes obvious that the report functions are extremely limited in practical uses every law firm expects, and therefore reporting in Filevine is just unnecessarily complex and overall a failure.

Because of the customization factors and add-ins, usability is truly based on how you build out your Filevine. I've made it so user friendly, that any new hires can easily run a case from start to finish without the added stress of trying to figure it out on their own. The use of the Filevine University is always helpful for those one off questions that you require additional assistance

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

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 was the function to email documents to a case file email and those would automatically upload to the file
