SmartAdvocate Reviews

Summary: I enjoy learning new techniques and ways to use the product. i was a little hesitant when i was initially introduced to the feature, but learning how it operates has been easy.

Positive: The Optional Features are plentiful. I recently learned how to navigate using the "timeline" feature.

I have to take more time to learn them and utilize them.

Negative: Navigating through system hasn't been too easy. I may be due to me not taking the time to learn its features better. the training you provide helps me to see and utilize.

Summary: Love how it is always updating.
Love how easy it is to reach someone and get problems fixed.
Great layout.

Positive: User friendly with lots of features.
Great customer support.
Lots of trainings and tips.
Easy to track and monitor cases.

Negative: No app for client portal.
Some issues with clients using the portal.

Summary: Overall experience using the platform has been positive. The added functionality will be a game changer for our firm to advocate for clients.

Positive: Additional features that were missing from our previous case management provider, such as Outlook integration, automation with document templates, mass messaging, and a client portal.

Negative: Would like to see more customization options to case home screen.

Summary: Overall I've had a great experience with the software and the staff from Smart Advocate. They have a good amount of sessions for training. If you have any questions staff is just an email away. It makes managing your cases very easy.

Positive: Hi! My name is Selena. Our offices have been using Smart Advocate for a little over a year. I love that you can set up automated procedures. For example once a case is opened you can have it automatically generate all the letters that one would typically write when opening a case (welcome letter, letter of rep to NF and BI). You can integrate the documents you already have with Smart Advocate to create templates.

Negative: It took our office a little while to get the hang of merge codes and Templates.

Summary: I have been very pleased. When I call and say this is Steve Collins they know who I am even though they have numerous customers. I just couldn't imagine a better experience.

Positive: Always helpful and great response time. Any time I would call (yes they still use a phone even though they have a chat box) or send an email they provide actual assistance before most places have you enter you code # for the 10th time. The system combines resources from text messages to clients to legal pleadings. Everything is in one place.

Negative: If I have to list one it would be setting the system up but I don't think you could have as good a system without setting it up the way you want it. It just takes some time but is well worth it.

Summary: The system has and will move mountains for our ever growing firm. Like many other companies using SmartAdvocate, we are a legal firm and rely heavily on software to streamline our efforts.

Positive: One stop shop. This is an intuitive system that helps drive our success. We just started building out this case management system recently, but we can tell the system creators really took time to elevate the possibilities and functionality of the platform.

Negative: None at this time. The system is hefty and will take time to convert from a former case management system, but this is a known speedbump for a firm of our size.

Summary: Overall the experience is great, and I look forward to more additional trainings to get more out of the program as a whole.

Positive: The additional training available. I want to learn as much as possible about SmartAdvocate, and these extra trainings are really beneficial to gain additional knowledge!

Negative: We at times do not cover all the training agenda. Claude is a great trainer, but we often times are detailed with different aspects of training that we do not get to cover everything in the allotted time.

Summary: Very easy program with so much potential. The step by step information is a plus and the instructors are great.

Positive: I like how the step by step process throughout setting up this program and how the instructors are readily available.

Negative: We are very early in the process so there are no dislikes at this time.

Summary: I love working with SA, it is very convenient and easy to use. The organization of it makes it very easy to find documents, etc.

Positive: I like how organized and convenient it is. Everything can be maintained in an easily accessible place that has been invaluable since working remotely.

Negative: Some of the tabs ask for too much information at times.

Summary: The support you receive from SA is great - they help you be successful. We recently had a one hour presentation on how to build letter templates, and it was very helpful.

Positive: SA make is easy to organize your case file and draft documents. You can keep track of documents, conversations, emails, and calendars all from one platform.

Negative: I have no cons for this product. It has been working great for our firm.

Summary: I love using SmartAdvocate. Once the information is entered into the case, merging documents is easy and so much less time consuming! From merging documents, to accessing contacts, to having access to what anyone else has done in the case, it's great and makes my job as a paralegal much easier!

Positive: Keeps your cases organized with many great tools to make it easy to do! Anyone working on the case has full access to everything.

Negative: Creating templates is a bit time consuming, but worth it once it's done.

Summary: Great product. Fits our needs well. Great features that we did not have with our previous case management software. I like that it is web based.

Positive: I love how customizable the software is. I also love how easy it is to go paperless. I love how we can attach applicable documents right along with the disbursement charge. I also love the barcoding feature.

Negative: the program runs a little slow sometimes. Otherwise it's a great program!

Summary: SmartAdvocate generates accurate insights from legal proceedings that enhances effective case follow up. It offers reliable data analytics that enables us to update and inform clients on time and avoid court penalties.

Positive: The secure and effective file handling tools enables me to filter and arrange documents efficiently on my desk. It is easy to create SmartAdvocate account for both private and corporate legal uses. It provides accurate insights on revenue on various cases based on real-time legal assessments.

Negative: Document optimization and customer relations have improved since we shifted to SmartAdvocate.

Summary: Overall, SmartAdvocate, while not perfect, does allow more productivity and streamed workflow. It would be nice if it catered more to non-New York firms (focusing a bit more on the trial section, but SmartAdvocate is very user friendly and easy to use.

Positive: The automated procedures, the workplans, and the templates. They features allow time to work on case content instead of data entry.

Negative: The lack of the same fields in merge codes across systems such as Word and Excel for effective templates. Also, the inability to distinguish car insurance from health insurance.

Summary: Overall, Smart Advocate has really helped my business to go and automate various aspects. From billing to document management, all the way through to the reports and dashboards, I cannot speak highly enough of it.

Positive: I am a big fan of how easy it is to get used to the system, as often with these things it takes month before you are comfortable using is day to day. I am really like the UX and UI of it, as it flows very well and this aspect is very important to me.

Negative: The support leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion, as it can be quite difficult to speak to someone if I have a simple question. Saying that, their online documentation is very clear and helpful.
