CosmoLex vs. Soluno

Because it is cloud based, CosmoLex is well suited for a lawyer starting up a practice as there is no need for a server. It is also very easy to use from home as it doesn't require a remote session to login, but can be used from any device. It is not well suited for a practice that requires a very fast pace for accounting as it takes a bit of time for each transaction to load, frustrating the user and causing them to lose momentum. On the other hand, if time is taken to set things up, there are a few tools that make importing expenses much quicker, and time can be made up by just taking some time to set things up.

Soluno works well in a smaller firm that is not transaction heavy. I would not recommend this solution to a transaction-heavy or larger law firm such as a busy real estate practice

Incentivized

• Bookkeeping and billing
• Overall practice management
• Responsiveness and support

Incentivized

• Soluno provides a comprehensive cloud based legal accounting solution.
• The billing module in Soluno allows for a one stop option for adjusting and previewing invoices before finalizing.
• Soluno is setup in such a manner that the interface is easy to follow for active data entry.
• Soluno has a great drag and drop feature to add documents to the accounts payable module.

Incentivized

• File separation and security like ethical was to prevent opposing council in the same company from having open access to other clients.
• More detailed user management.

• Soluno does not allow for multiple trust to general transfers in one transaction.
• In my opinion, Soluno is difficult to create/customize reports and billing templates.
• As Soluno has grown, I feel their support has gotten poor.
• From my experience, Soluno is glitchy at times and appears to be an ongoing project which has farther to go to meet the needs of larger law firms.
• Soluno works best for firms that are not transaction heavy. It is not a product I would recommend to a busy real estate firm or any other type of law that is transaction heavy.
• Soluno does not allow for fee allocation until after a file is billed IE: you cannot split a fee between a responsible attorney and a working attorney at the time entry level.
• The training and support can use improvement.
• Needs to be easier to customize re: user security, billing templates, custom reports.

They have a long way to go in their software development

There is far too much reliance on symbols versus words, and it is sometimes difficult to navigate to the function you need. CosmoLex offers great support, knowledge base, and training, but sometimes you just don't have an hour to spend learning how to do a basic function that you have forgotten, and you just need it to WORK. It would be great to have the option of having word labels instead of picture symbols. It would also be great to have full functionality in the smartphone app. It just is not good. Not good. Pretty much everything keeping me tied to CosmoLex is on the money management side.

I think that CosmoLex actually relies so much on its stellar support infrastructure that it forgets we don't actually want to have to use it. Just make the darn thing easier to navigate and understand, and you won't need all that client-facing support. You can choose chat, email, phone, knowledge base, embedded training videos within the different pages, but darn it all, I just want it to be more intuitive instead.

Support cannot always answer queries. It takes too long to get an answer or resolution to a problem

I used CosmoLex over PC Law mostly because it was cloud-based, and I used it over Clio because the accounting for Clio required the use of both Clio and QuickBooks which made for very inefficient data entry. CosmoLex is slower than PCLaw when inputting entries, but I believe that in the long run, it will be better as CosmoLex is better situated to move forward with new technology.

PCLaw still has more to offer overall than Soluno however neither program is without its issues. Soluno is still limited in its overall offerings compared to PCLaw. As a cloud-based solution Soluno is still the best option on the market at this time

• Time is the greatest factor when it comes to managing and creating documents and client accounts.
• Tracking client data.

• The cloud based option makes this solution available anywhere.
