What do you dislike about Smokeball?

I'm having a bit of a hard time with Biling being new to the legal billing I am just learning how to do the invoices and how to play around with the info for the invoices. I don't like that it doesn't let me add a name, address, email. I have to pick from a list and I still don't know how to edit that list Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Case management excellent; billing app is horrible"

What do you like best about Smokeball?

Easy to use interface. LIve Tech support is easily reachable and genuinely wants to resolve issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smokeball?

The Billing app is the worst we have ever worked with. It is not capable of doing the most basic things. Our staff and clients find it significantly lacking. We've been promised that many improvements are coming, but it's been months. In the meantime, we've had to hire additional staff to take care of billing because their app and process is so poor. have to apply many "workarounds" and extra analysis/steps to produce and monitor bills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using umpteen case management systems in the past, I have come to love Smokeball's fluidity, especially when it comes to billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smokeball?

There are some kinks with saving documents, where the most recent version of a document is not saved to the file and cannot be located. There are also some additional shortcuts or cheats that are needed e.g. being able to duplicate a billing entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
