## Reviews

### "Highly Customize-able, scale-able, intuitive" — 5.0/5

> **Theresa** | *August 23, 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software is incredibly customize-able. There is no limit to what you can do. Think big, bigger than you think you need to. The customization scales marvelously and works intuitively. The software elevates practice management so that operations are more fluid.
> 
> **Cons**: The only con is that we need to review lots of data in table form. Once you chose column headings, you are stuck with those columns no matter what query you run. Column headings are customizable, but not customizable within each data set; you have to modify them each time you run a query. The way around this is to export to Excel and delete the irrelevant data.
> 
> We decided on Centerbase for many reasons, but the catalyst is that we, as a Los Angeles-based firm, acquired an office in San Francisco and in San Diego. We needed a central repository for case management and document management. In addition:&#10;1) We needed our practice to be accessible in court or on the go (cloud-based)&#10;2) We needed integration with a reputable document manager (we went with NetDocs, though Cenbterbase has it's own document management system, too)&#10;3) We needed to eliminate the "human error" component in workflow systems, so we built workflow systems for all different types of legal procedures from intake to administrative appeals to litigation. This is especially important for solo practitioners, those working with limited resources or when the job requires extensive training about minute things. Creating a workflow that does the administrative thinking for you, is everything.  They have a great Word Merge feature which integrates with Word.&#10;4) We needed a reliable calendaring system - they're working to integrate the calendar with Outlook and Google calendars, as I understand.

### "New User: Growing Business" — 5.0/5

> **Holly** | *August 19, 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of use, I have used several billing and accounting programs over my 25 years experience and must say Centerbase is thoughtful in its approach of what worked and what didn't and compiled an inclusive product that is constantly evolving with ease. Since it is cloud based, upgrades and updates are pushed monthly, no versioning or what for new/annual releases that need to be purchased like on premise software.
> 
> **Cons**: They are still developing out of the reports, which I wish were more inclusive. However, they have built a comprehensive and easy to use menu to build your own. Their accounting side is fairly new and constantly taking feedback and improving, but still has some AP areas that could be streamlined.  I am looking forward to the opening up API where you can add apps to work in conjunction with Centerbase and make it truly a one stop shop for timekeeper and administrator. They are on their way\!
> 
> Centerbase has moved our firm into the 21st Century in terms of access through web browser and phone app. Our timekeepers love the straight forward use and it has increased consistency and timing of time entry. The link to LawPay that auto-processes payments has cut our manpower down and increased cash flow for it's ease of use for our clients. We are a Trust/Retainer heavy firm and clients can make one payment and it directs splits between AR and replenishment retainer in trust to the correct accounts, opposed to us manually tracking and writing multiple checks or transfers from one account to the other.

### "Centerbase did the right thing" — 3.0/5

> **Page** | *February 27, 2024* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. Integration between time, billing, and accounting. Streamlining processes. Ability to customize the system.
> 
> **Cons**: They recognize support needs to be better and are working to hire new leadership and reduce ticket times.
> 
> Centerbase came back after a week or two and said they would agree to the original agreement. They have been regularly checking in with us to address other concerns and get feedback.

### "Centerbase is Great but Could be Better" — 4.0/5

> **Jessica** | *August 20, 2019* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's easy on the eyes. Certain reports are easy to use and navigate. Quick at generating invoices, certain reports, emails.
> 
> **Cons**: 1. CB needs to have a report feature that shows the legal services with number of hours worked and rates. However, CB only provides expenses per client/matter. &#10;2. It's confusing how to pull up total paid amount to each matter. It confuses accounting and the client. It needs to be clear report that shows attorneys, hours, rates, total.&#10;3. In posted bills, there needs to be a box to let us see only certain origination attorneys and their specific matters.&#10;4. There also needs a contingency setting where it shows rate the legal fees amounts are but doesn't require the client to pay the invoice since it'll be recoup at the end.
> 
> Overall I do like using CB because I use it daily. As long as the cons could be worked on, everything would be a 100% great\!

### "Centerbase for Legal Practice management, billing and accounting" — 5.0/5

> **Donna** | *August 15, 2019* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A completely integrated cloud solution all in one package with immeasurable customization options.
> 
> **Cons**: How cloud products handle document assembly or document automation.
> 
> We have been using Centerbase for 15 months and love the ability to work from anywhere we can get internet access.  We love being able to enter billing items from our phones and it immediately be available to bill.  We love that the accounting module is built into the software as well.
