Questions to test in both products

• Can the people who do the work complete a real matter from intake through billing?
• Which fields, permissions, and reports can your firm adapt without extra manual tracking?
• Who owns migration, setup, training, and the first weeks after launch?
• What is included in the written price, and what requires an add-on or separate service?
• How can your firm export usable records if it changes systems later?

What to put in the demo

Test a document-heavy matter and ask staff to draft a standard document, capture work, produce an invoice, and review a trust transaction. Confirm which steps are native and which require configuration.

Who should look closer?

Firms prioritizing time capture and document-heavy workflows. A fair comparison should use the same firm-specific scenarios in both demonstrations. Include a routine matter and an exception, ask staff from more than one role to evaluate them, and record what is available today versus what needs configuration. The right choice depends on your actual practice, staffing, budget, and implementation capacity.
