The cloud competition has caught up
The release notes have been maintenance and compatibility fixes for years. Nothing has been meaningfully improved. It works, but it does not feel like a product anyone is investing in, and that makes me nervous about the next five years.

Great engine, no ecosystem
It bills better than anything else I have used and it does nothing else. No practice management, no matter management, no CRM. If you want those you are buying a second product, and then you are managing an integration.

The rate engine is why we have never left
We are eleven timekeepers and it handles trust accounting properly, which for a law firm is not optional. The compliance side is genuinely solid.

LEDES export kept a corporate client
Work in progress review before anything goes out means a partner can adjust time, write down what should be written down, and see the bill before the client does. That step is where the money is and most tools skip it.

Twelve years in and it still bills right
Rates by timekeeper, by client, by matter, with overrides that cascade in the right order. I have tried to build this in three other products and none of them could do it without a workaround. For a firm with client specific rate cards it is the whole product.
