PE review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2023 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** As a new user of 9.9, I find PE is still very user friendly. I like the expansion of billing and the new deposits module. I'm very happy with the reporting dashboard in this version. **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** Coming into 9.9, I've noticed a few changes I find a bit annoying. Hitting search each time to populate results will take some getting used to. In our previous version (9.6.7), results would be immediate. I like how you moved ar adjustments and WIP transfers, but I wish you could still access them from the task pad. **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking accurate time and generating bills in a timely manner. ### 7. Software is powerful but they are short staffed plus they are experiencing growing pains. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2023 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** Ability to data mine, really no limit on what can be extracted **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** Need to update frequently which costs a lot of consulting time and with forks being customized, more times than no things break in thr process so it it a round and round process. **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** They said they are staffing up so if they do, they can address things more frequently and hopefully get things right the first time and on time. For us, ability to get things out to make informed business decisions. ### 8.

PE Review **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kristy C. | Partner, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2023 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** Dash let's and smart links to access other data **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** Implementation has felt unorganized; reporting has been rough.

I also feel the take on process could be optimized for more flexibility. **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** Our firm includes a lot of customizations that practice engine is doing their best to accommodate. ### 11. Practice Engine - Accounting Firm time management **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 30, 2018 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** Practice Engine is pretty easy to use and figure out where things are located. If you have a fairly good understanding of accounting firm time management (e.g. Practice CS, Timeslips) and project workflow systems (e.g. GFR) you can work in Practice Engine. **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** I am not a big fan of the admin reports available and the ability to use these reports to update client information in batches. There are limits on how you can sort information once you run a report and want to use it to update/rollover client data to another year. The billing module is great and flexible but is very labor-intensive. You must manually save bills with the invoice numbering and client's/customer's name, instead of the PE system presenting the invoice number and client's/ customer's name at the Save As dialog box...a lot of things must be done manually. **Recommendations to others considering IRIS Practice Management:** Practice Engine works mostly and does what you need, but I would just consider all options before committing to Practice Engine. **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** Billing is more flexible Practice Engine and both departments in my company can use the system. Previously, each major department had separate billing and timekeeping systems. ### 12. Iris is one of the great tool available for sharing and tracking data **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2022 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** One of the greatest features what i like is it gets the data updated in timely manner and at the same time we can share it with the client managers to review and rate it. **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** Nothing part of this tool which i didn't like. It is the good tool available in todays market with lots of positivity around to share the data in a fluke with no concerns **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data sharing and reviewing was two of the things which i personally did and i really loved the response of it with great features and it really helps the data to be structured. ### 13. Slow and duplicates in the payslips not very organised **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2019 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** It has a simple layout and easy to navigate around **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** The fact it sends out multiple emails when a payslip is generated for an employee, if there is a server error it will delete all old payslips never to be retrieved again **Recommendations to others considering IRIS Practice Management:** Find something else **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** None I think we need to look for a new payroll system ### 14. Great time saver! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 29, 2019 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** I like that all your services are in the same place and link together. Changing details is very quick as it's all linked. **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** The price is very high but it equals out when you look at the time you save. **Recommendations to others considering IRIS Practice Management:** If you want it all under the same roof then go for iris **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** VAT filer was a big life saver during the MTD roll out. ### 15. Good tool for a firm to collect employees’ time data and do analyses **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2019 **What do you like best about IRIS Practice Management?** Here is how my firm does it: the IT department set up time code for each project and we only need to pick from the drop down menu to record our time to each project. And of course the project names are key work searchable. So I found this to be helpful to the firm to standardize and unify time codes, which will in turn makes it easier for the firm to analyze the time data. There is timer function to help you track time if you know you will not be sidetracked. **What do you dislike about IRIS Practice Management?** Not dislike, but it could be helpful if employees could run some charts to visualize and analyze our time and maybe compare the actual to budget. I’m sure the firm can do all the analyses through Practice Engine, but sometimes employees want to see how we are doing too and would like to dig further in our time. But full disclosure, it could be my firm did not purchase the module or I didn’t explore the software enough. **Recommendations to others considering IRIS Practice Management:** I have not been on the firm’s position to look at all the time data collected, but I’m sure PE provides a handy way to analyze employees’ time, which can be very helpful to service providing firms such as accounting and law firms. **What problems is IRIS Practice Management solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collect employees’ time data, unify coding, and easily analyze the data to make business decisions. ### 16.
