As a lawyer starting my own firm, I could keep my overhead down by managing my whole practice in one software. I was able to add on bookkeeping/accounting and office support as my firm grew instead of needing special training or professional help out of the gate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My bank is CIBC, for some reason I can't use the bank feed feature with my bank. Also, I don't find the email syncing all that helpful - I still have to sort everything in Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great to have all you need in one place. Not only can you manage your cases, but you can also send out invoices and use Cosmolex Pay to have your clients pay their invoices. No separate systems to worry about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish that the reports were a little easier to decipher and set up. It takes a few minutes to find the right report if you are looking for something that you don't use frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cosmolex has an amazing program that integrates accounting with billing. That feature alone makes Cosmolex different and above its competitors. My other favorite feature is the ability to customize it to fit your office. Not many programs can do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would love to have the ability to text our clients and send appointment reminders. These two extra features would make Cosmoslex stand above most other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fast and helpful customer service, there haven't been a lot of times it was required, but when I needed them they were very helpful and prompt. Cosmolex has a lot of helpful tools integrated to make the job easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cosmolex has an awesome capability of downloading your transactions from your bank account, however our bank link stopped working quite a while ago and still does not work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is all on the cloud. So you don't have to have a software downloaded to your computer. You can login wherever you are from the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike about cosmolex is having to void checks if they were written out of the current month after the account has been reconciled. There is no easy way to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is powerful. It has all the information. We don't use the Client Portal, but I love that the functionality is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really slow. We use it only for billing but I would not want to use for anything else due to how long it takes to input information. It is also glitchy at times. I've lost my dockets a few times, had duplicate dockets, the fee reports can be messy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We switched over from PC LAW and everything has been great. The transfer was seamless and the questions that came afterward were answered in detail! Cosmolex is so easy to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I would say I dislike is that there was a bit of miscommunication surrounding transferring data. But even this was resolved very quickly and efficiently! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can edit weird things. Once you figure out where to find things, it's easy to find them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can edit weird things but not make easy edits to things that should be easy. 10 steps to say that a cheque was returned. Have to reverse everything if you are entering something from yesterday to change the date, but can edit the cheque number without issues. Have to figure out where to find things (payment references invoice # - have to go to "activities" to search for the invoice, then go to the client to enter the payment). Weird terminology - and doesn't default to "matter owner" when entering disbursements. "Journal entries" are considered major events and not available for minor things that would be a lot easier with something like month end journal entries. If you have a client with a lot of matters, the system is always slow to do anything related to that client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is very good. Most valuable is the fact that it employs double-entry accounting, that it integrates time entry, billing, accounting, trust accounting, financial statements, etc., into one system. I am very pleased with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the user interface could be more user friendly. It is somewhat complicated software because it has so many features. The document creation portion of the software and contacts management is not very well developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many good features, good trust reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*You can't have 2 screens/functions open at once: example - can't have bank reconciliation screen open and then enter a transaction in the bank without closing the reconciliation screen.

*You can't refresh reports: if you run a report and then make a change, you have to go through the whole procedure to get the report again.

* You can't enter account numbers quickly - if you know the account number and enter it, Cosmolex won't recognize it even if the number is correct. You enter the account number and then it waits to find the number in a list, then you can select it.

* Payables module is awful. Can't easily see or find the history of a particular payable account without going through a procedure.

*Won't let you post to all accounts in the payables module (example: can't post a payable credit invoice and affect cash/bank account)

* Some things are not very intuitive

*Can't select multiple G/L accounts when running a report - can only select "All" or one account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
