Its a great organizational tool > > **Cons**: It isn't Mac compatible which made it difficult for many in our office. It needs to be able to work for larger file sizes > > It was easy to use and is customizable. However it cannot be used with a Mac so that made it a no go for us ----- ### "MEH" — 3.0/5 > **L. Eowyn** | *November 1, 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: IT WAS KIND OF MEDIOCRE FOR EVERYTHING. IT SYNCED WELL WITH MICROSOFT OFFICE PRODUCTS AND ADOBE ACROBAT. > > **Cons**: SO DIFFICULT TO LEARN/USE (I AM PRETTY TECH SAVVY). TERRIBLE REPORTING. > > IT GOT US THROUGH UNTIL WE FOUND SOMETHING BETTER. ----- ### "Legal Files has provided a valuable tool for our agency" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *September 29, 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The functions including the drop box from Outlook > > **Cons**: documents are not arranged chronologically so it is difficult to find the most recent version. > > Leal Files as a product and the customer support has been excellent. ----- ### "Useful put clunky" — 4.0/5 > **James C.** | *January 7, 2021* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Many features of this software are useful to the practice of law. It loads documents, tracks clients, tallies hours and more. > > **Cons**: However, it is not intuitive and requires significant amount of time to learn the system compared to other software. The interface is also a bit dated, looking like something from Windows XP rather than modern day softward. > > Overall it gets the job done, providing essential filing services that can be shared across users and permits a variety of important controls. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/9283/legal-files?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/9283/legal-files) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
