    Litera Desktop has many functions, but it is still a user-friendly program. Very easy to implement and easy to train. We send a variety of documents to clients and other legal professionals electronically. Litera will clean and scrub documents so that there is no hidden metadata when the documents are transferred. This keeps not only our clients and their files safe, but it keeps our email programs safe and clean as well.

    It is great for taking credit card payments, managing calendars, sharing and accepting document uploads and maintaining digital files. The app is better than nothing, however is vastly inferior to the web version. The time entries should show on the first screen whether they are marked as billable or non-billable without having to enter each specific time entry

    Pros
    Litera
    • Clearly shows the changes between two documents using multiple colors of text and crossing-out and underlining.
    • Has diverse options for savings and sending the comparison document (Word, PDF and its own proprietary file format).
    • Has multiple options for letting you review each of the changes (in sequential order or by type of change).

    • Trust accounting. This is an area of great concern as little mistakes can lead to serious consequences.
    • Client management. By posting all client documents we have significantly reduced postage and rather than getting a phone call, the clients can see what is happening in their case.
    • Scheduling. This is a great way to keep on top of calendars and a better way to avoid missing deadlines.

    Cons
    Litera
    • It is the best when comparing any text or fragment of any content.
    • It helps us to better understand the purchases at the moment of making a move in our newsroom.
    • Its compatibility with other systems is very effective and safe, it makes us communicate safely.

    • Use of AI (should not be integrated into MyCase, especially with legal services that require a high-level of confidentiality which AI cannot guarantee)
    • Payment Reconciliation (sometimes invoices don't show up, nothing in Help Center about how to remedy)
    • Billing (doesn't consider that billing contacts for a case may change based on who can pay)

    I don't personally handle whether or not we renew our subscriptions to platforms but it's very integral to our work so I doubt we'd get rid of it

    Usability
    Litera
    They have done a good job of now overloading Workshare Compare with extra features it doesn't need. This does a couple of things:
    1. It means the interface doesn't have too many menus or too many buttons to click. Everything is straightforward and easy to use.
    2. It keeps the software fast.
    3. It makes it easy on the user to decide when you do and do not need to use this software.

    It is so easy to use. We've had multiple people join our team and they don't have any issues using it right away. It's also easy to use new features as they're developed. I think everyone should have and use a simple case management platform, and MyCase is my usual recommendation.

    Performance
    Litera
    I gave Workshare Compare such a high rating because I don't think I could do my job without it. It has just become so integral to my workflow, that if I were to ever change jobs I think I would have to insist my new employer to me a license. It is fast and just works 99% of the time. It is very rare that it gives me errors, and when it does it's likely because the underlying document is corrupted, not because of any issues with Workshare Compare.

    One of the things we liked most about Tabs3 when we used that system was its support. PracticePanther was step behind in support when we switched to it, but when we switched to MyCase, it actually seems to be a step ahead of Tabs3. The chat support feature has saved me hours on dealing with issues both internally with users and externally with clients trying to navigate the client portal.

    The interaction that can be done within this software is very different from the others. One of the most important is that it is dedicated to quickly and easily summarize the work of comparing files, without having to work a lot to do it. Also, it is a program that helps to discover the direct opinion among the users of these documents.

    Prior to using MyCase, my firm relied on AbacusLaw for its CRM program. I have also used Amicus Attorney prior to that. AbacusLaw and Amicus Attorney were local area network programs using an onsite computer server. I started using MyCase so that I would have an entire cloud-based legal CRM program. At the time its best competitive feature was that the program was entirely cloud-based and that online retrieval of documents and client contact information was easily retrievable. The best contribution of these features is not just improving team collaboration, but improving efficient communication with clients by allowing them online access to their case file and secure communication with the client portal. Our Intake staff uses Clio Grow as a CMS (Contact Management System) despite some intake features being added my MyCase in the past year. Clio Grow has a Kanban board interface to manage incoming leads and improve intake team collaboration. MyCase's intake feature is new and less robust and intuitive to use compared to Clio Grow (formerly Lexicata). From the beginning, G Suite has always been an integral tool for email and calendar management. MyCase offers email and calendar support but G Suite is easiest to use on multiple platforms and hardware devices compared to MyCase.

    • Document Security is of paramount concern and Workshare 9 is a workhorse.
    • Accuracy of Document Comparison is also a a critically important task and it is done to perfection.

    • Organization: I know where to go for my case details
    • Efficiency: I just leave a window open on one screen logged into mycase and I can instantly modify/update matter details
    • Billing: integrated credit card payments/invoice updating is nice. Invoicing is a lot easier than prior platforms I used given you can email the invoice out directly from the platform, and see when it has been viewed.
