It is intuitive and easy to use and customize. The best is how easy it is to change or undo something. This is great for bookkeeping. Big time saver. > > **Cons**: I don’t have any cons for myself but I would imagine my clients would prefer if it had more CRM abilities. That said, that WILL be changing soon via thier partnership with Actionstep. > > Overall the customer service, look and functionality and just overall experience has been the best I have had from the like 8+ legal accounting software out there. ----- ### "The BEST legal accounting software on the market" — 5.0/5 > **Leslee** | *21 October 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent legal practice accounting software on the market today. > > **Cons**: Soluno does not yet have a mobile app. However, with the internet, the website is accessible anytime > > This is the best legal accounting software on the market today. Easy to use, IOLTA ready. Cloud-based. Superior customer support with live agents -- never a "bot". ----- ### "Keep looking." — 1.0/5 > **Lora** | *5 July 2024* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's cloud based which is good. There aren't many others. If I could give a negative stars I would. We switched from PC law which had become outdated and unreliable. We switched based on our bookkeeper's recommendation. It has been nothing short of a disappointment. The customer service that had been promised is non-existent. Our bookkeeper who works at a medium sized firm that had switched has confirmed that the customer service has deteriorated significantly in the last year to the point she is no longer recommending it. But it makes little sense. Difficult to navigate. > > **Cons**: Where to start. It's things big and small. For example, the icons that were chosen, presumably to make it easier, don't really make sense. It is difficult to navigate and cumbersome. PC Law had become outdated and unreliable. But it was intuitive. Soluno makes everything more complicated. > > Awful. After 11 months we are looking to switch again, as is everyone on our floor. ----- ### "Easy Implementation and Great Support Team" — 5.0/5 > **Nicole** | *27 April 2023* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The conversion and implementation was easy and faster than expected. Overall the software works great and our lawyers find it simple to use, including when working remotely. We had a smooth transition from our old system to Soluno without missing a beat, all of our files and their settings and history carried over so there was only a short "downtime" during the conversion. But most of all, the support team have been amazing both for the initial setup and in providing continuing support, answering questions, and finding custom solutions to meet our unique needs. > > **Cons**: There is some online documentation for the bigger features but there are also a lot of settings that are not covered in the how-to documents. It would be better if more documentation were available. Also, it might just be my computer but some features (payables, reports) don't work quite right in Firefox although they work fine in the Edge browser. Reports generate their totals/summaries at the bottom, so often you have to scroll a long way down to get to the totals you want to see - it's missing a "totals only" setting to prevent that. ----- ### "Soluno has revolutionized our firm management and accounting" — 5.0/5 > **Barry** | *17 April 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Soluno has the best of both worlds – the law firm business intelligence of a mature product like PCLaw with the freedom and convenience of a browser-based solution. I love everything about it. Here are the top reasons you should switch to Soluno too: 1) it has a well-designed user interface that is intuitive but powerful; 2) it is a sophisticated platform with billing and accounting made for attorneys, not something generic like QuickBooks that is a poor fit for lawyers; 3) incredible, fine-grained reporting on every metric you could imagine for timekeepers, firm performance and accounting; 4) surprisingly snappy performance that will convince you the server is in your office; 5) wonderful, attentive customer service, including listening to feature requests and acting on them quickly; and 6) free (depending on firm size) importation of data from our previous system. In our previous system (Firm Central + QuickBooks Online), posting a payment required five manual steps in two systems. In Soluno, it’s one step that’s lightning quick and will save us considerable time and hassle. > > **Cons**: The only thing I’ve noticed is that there isn’t much of an online help utility, but there is a customer support widget in the corner for live chat support that is quite responsive. > > Everything in our experience has been top-notch and a dramatic difference from Thomson Reuters, a massively larger company than Devlos. From our first interaction with their sales force, to onboarding and importation of data, to making feature requests that are actually acted upon, the experience has been 100% positive. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/95324/soluno?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/95324/soluno) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
