Overall Satisfaction with PCLaw
Our firm is an association of independent practices (myself and one lawyer for now, but we plan on having a third lawyer before the end of the year). The other lawyer has been with PC Law for years, though I have been using CosmoLex. I decided to make the switch to PC Law to make things easier across the firm as the assistants will work on files for both lawyers.
- Quick - reports generate faster than Clio or CosmoLex
- Efficient data entry
- When set up properly, it speeds up a lot of different tasks
- Outdated - user interface is not very intuitive and appears old
- server based - IT needs to be involved to solve some issues
- support is very slow to respond
- Efficient billing system
PC Law is quicker and cheaper. With CosmoLex, I found that I waited a little longer for reports and documents to generate and for transactions to be saved. In all other areas, I found CosmoLex to be better as it is more intuitive to use and the user interface is clean and easy to use. CosmoLex does not provide a receipt when receiving funds for some reason, which is something that I like about PC Law.
When entering data, you can enter the data for multiple entries at a time whereas with CosmoLex, you enter the data for one transaction/billing/expense/etc, and then you have to save it before going on to do another entry. This doesn't take too long, but there is often a delay of a few seconds which is very frustrating when you are used to the speed of PC Law.
