### "The customer service has been excellent whenever needed. "

October 3, 2017

4.0

Coordinated connection. The e-mail connection to the calendar data base saves my e-mails to the specific file.

Pros

The simplicity of the basic functions and their connection--particularly the calendar billing and e-mail accounts which all used to be separate.

Cons

The print response. When I hit print it takes almost a minute for anything to come out of the printer and is an annoying delay.

### "Proven. Simple to use. "

December 28, 2016

5.0

I first used abacus while at a former firm, and at the time it was basically a calendaring system. It evolved, and I began using it after opening my own office. I have watched it evolve, and there have been significant developments, year after year. It's simple to use and reliable.

Pros

Simple to use. Solid investment. Excellent customer service.

Cons

No in person training offered at site in San Diego.

### "Okay for legal software but many other options are better."

May 16, 2017

4.0

Pros

Nice, clean organization, had a nice summary page that contains insurance info, treatment info, etc.

Cons

Communications were all heaped together, making it difficult to distinguish emails, phone calls, etc. And their customer service is HORRIBLE. They are quick to say "that's a great question," but can NEVER follow it up with an answer.

### "Abacus Law review"

September 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

Customer support and options. It seems like it should be easier to use.

Cons

The functionality and ease of use. It's overly complicated to schedule appointment, set up rules, input client info, etc. The instruction videos, knowledge base format makes it hard to find answers to seemingly easy problems.

September 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

The soft ware is easy to learn with little difficulty curve. The daily tips are great reminders on how to utilize the software.

Cons

There are time when I cannot login in abacus law or accounting. To solve the problem I have to try to login to accounting then I can login to Law.

### "ABACUS - Very useful and like he many Personal Injury Features"

September 7, 2018

4.0

It was OK but could have really used some intial attention from ABACUS Support Team to get conveted from Legacy System and through Go-Live Phase.

Pros

Calendering Features;Contacts, Reporting, Company Forms, WEB Intake Forms and the Personal Injury Fields, Forms and Reports.

Cons

It's a little complicated or technical initially. Converting our current and Active Clients took a minute. Also the Product was a little old looking like a DOS or early Windows Program. Needs a new look.

### "Good Product"

January 5, 2017

4.0

I've been using AbacusLaw for 6 years now and I am generally satisfied with the product. It is not the most user-friendly but it is very customizable, which is the reason I went with it. It is capable of really automating your practice if you take the time to learn to use it and setup the forms.

### "Purchase the product "

December 5, 2017

1.0

Cons

After two weeks, still no contact from the company. All names used are fictitious white names and they are Indians in India. This is the most ridiculous company I have seen. They should not be selling anything at all.

### "They are pricing me out"

November 15, 2016

3.0

I began using Abacus over 20 years ago. As the years wore on and the company got bigger they began increasing their price going from a purchase product to a license product and now they seek to require a monthly payment per user. The cost is becoming prohibitive for a smaller firm such as mine (5 lawyer firm). I will be looking for an alternative.

Pros

Performs essential function and is modifiable.

Cons

Has become too expensive.

Overall, we decided not to continue with AbacusLaw.

Pros

What we liked most about the software was that it can be accessed online and through a server.

Cons

What we liked least was that it was a bit too expensive and had an overwhelming amount of features.
