## Reviews

### "The best all in one workflow management system around" — 5.0/5

> **Tony** | *17 November 2017* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: That you are able to operate your whole business on the one platform.  Everything from the initial client contact through to completion of services, incorporating a single place to track all project related emails, time tracking for employees, easy billing process, tracking of invoices, creditors, production of financial reports, outstanding billing reports and numerous other customisable options.
> 
> **Cons**: The only downside I can think are that it is a little expensive (but then I am only a sole trader now not working full time, so if I was working this business full time then I would probably feel differently on this factor)&#13;&#10;It is generally easy to use, but maybe not as intuitive as programmes like Xero or MYOB, but that said I feel this system does a hell of a lot more than they do.
> 
> This software has allowed me to simplify management of my business, keeping all of the information I need to operate in a single location.  When I was employing staff it recorded all of their time against the relevant projects, reported taxes due, kept all client details, kept a record of all projects I had undertaken, allowed me to look back on projects to aid in costing of prospective projects.

### "Great if you have time to customize" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 October 2018* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is an elegant solution for volume practices that categorizes matters in useful and dynamic ways, and is interactive so you can keep track of the progress of each individual matter.
> 
> **Cons**: It's expensive to customize because you have to pay for a consultant to work with you on it.
> 
> The ease of keeping track of the lifecycle of our matters makes  this well worth it.  I spent hours following the tutorials on how to customize it to tailor it to my specific practice.  But I think they purposely make them a little vague so you'll have to resort to hiring a consultant to tailor the program.  Overall it's totally worth it, but I wish it was more user friendly to customize myself.

### "Poor customer service and communication" — 3.0/5

> **Jamie** | *25 August 2023* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: After hacking through the very long set up process (years) and very steep learning curve (we're lucky we're strong with IT) it does most of what we need it to do.
> 
> **Cons**: It's started jumping matter numbers. The last normal matter number was 620. The next number it generated was 653 and today the new number is 686. We've sent multiple emails to support and they have been generic fob off responses for critical, time sensitive issues which affect our trust accounting. We couldn't be more disappointed. After four years of using this product, I've finally been annoyed enough to write this review. Hopelessly inadequate response.
> 
> Very fussy product which is very hard to customise.

### "For the Serious Firms" — 5.0/5

> **Lydia** | *23 April 2019* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's thorough knowledge of the special rules that apply to law firms; the ability to modify your processes to reflect your specific jurisdiction and forms.  I like the ability to see who did what, and when.  There is a lot of accountability in this system.
> 
> **Cons**: Some of the accounting modules are (rightly and deliberately so) difficult to correct if an error is made in parts of the accounting system.  The system forces a great deal of transparency. They just need to update all the accounting modules.
> 
> I get one stop software in Actionstep.  I generate documents; bill clients, record time; maintain trust ledgers; write checks.  All if it is integrated. When I generate docs, I bill; when I disburse for a client, it goes on the bill automatically.  In particular, the Enhanced Billing Mode is excellent\!  I keep track of other processes in my firm as well.  I typically spend the whole day in Actionstep

### "Action Step - not bad, not great" — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *23 June 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface seemed to be easy to use on its face, and overall appeared colorful, allowing you to move between options
> 
> **Cons**: The interface got a little crowded after you left the home screen.  It got more and more complicated, too much time was spent navigating rather than getting results.
> 
> We did not select this software - overall, it was just too much

The platform combines client intake and CRM, matter management, workflow automation, document management, client portals, time tracking, billing, reporting, and analytics all in one connected system.\n\nConfigurable workflow automation is at the core of Actionstep. Firms can design repeatable processes around different matter types, practice areas, and internal procedures, helping automate task assignments, reminders, approvals, document creation, and other routine steps. This allows teams to standardize how work moves through the firm while reducing manual administration and maintaining flexibility around firm-specific processes.\n\nMatter management tools centralize client and matter information, tasks, communications, documents, deadlines, and activity history. Teams can access a more complete view of each matter without relying on disconnected applications or manual handoffs. Built-in client intake and CRM capabilities help firms capture prospect information, manage intake workflows, track client relationships, and transition new clients into active matters more efficiently.\n\nActionstep also includes document management and automation capabilities that help users organize matter-related files and generate documents from templates and stored data. Secure client portal functionality enables firms to share information and communicate with clients through a centralized digital experience.\n\nReporting and analytics provide visibility into matter activity, team productivity, workflow performance, client information, and other operational metrics. Dashboards and reporting tools help firm leaders identify bottlenecks, monitor activity, and make more informed decisions about how the practice is operating.\n\nThe platform supports integrations with external legal technology and business applications, allowing firms to connect Actionstep with other tools in their technology stack and reduce duplicate data entry. Mobile access for iOS and Android gives users access to key practice information while working away from the office.\n\nSecurity features such as multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls help firms manage access to sensitive client and matter information. As a cloud-based platform, Actionstep provides centralized access without requiring firms to maintain an on-premise practice management environment.\n\nActionstep is designed for growing midsize law firms that want more than basic case management. Its combination of configurable workflows, connected matter data, client intake and CRM, document automation, reporting, integrations, and secure cloud access helps firms create a technology foundation that can adapt as their processes and operations evolve.","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/f8b93ac4-ff66-482b-9aed-fb4cf648d20b.png","url":"https://www.getapp.ae/software/9491/actionstep","@id":"https://www.getapp.ae/software/9491/actionstep#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ae/#organization"},"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","bestRating":5,"ratingCount":135,"ratingValue":4.2},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise, Linux on premise, Chrome"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.ae/software/9491/actionstep#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Law Practice Management Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/120/law-practice-management/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Actionstep","position":3,"item":"/software/9491/actionstep","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
