Pros from Real Users Pros I like that it's very easy to use and FV is constantly coming out with new features and upgrades to fix any bugs, etc.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Smokeball does well all of the things I, and many modern law firms need including trust accounting and management, automatic time tracking, document templating and automation. This is a robust one platform access to all essential tools, process management , macro and micro analysis of our practice, and integration with other software allowing for ultimate cloud based organization. Continued product development and ease of access to training allows for growth and continued evolution of efficiency. It is truly a work from anywhere solution that allows you to control and evaluate overhead while providing a more uniform and reliable service for our clients. I like everything about Smokeball. I use it daily. I have been using Smokeball for over 2 years and don't see myself using any other program. Cons 1) Our onboarding process was managed by an external contractor and it was problematic. It's my understanding that Smokeball brought this in house; 2) We were required to finance our three-year contract up front which is a departure from how we are used to paying for monthly subscription services. Despite those challenges, I'm glad we adopted Smokeball and I do not see that it has any true competition. I truly only regret I didn't start with this software and had to go through the process of onboarding existing cases which lacked many of the benefits of being worked by a system like Smokeball. There is nothing that I can think of that I do not like.
