3E Elite Reviews & Product Details

Um... not much good that I can say about this program. We recently switched to it and it has made my life harder. Not to say that the old version of Elite was much better, but still. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a very clunky interface. The Proformas are hidden along the left ribbon under a letter P icon. Not very intuitive. If I had a choice, I would choose something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of navigation, the different functions that allow you to access billing inquiries, client/matter specific information, and AR history. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have multiple screens up, sometimes 3E times out and you have to go back to the home page to reload. At times it can be very slow (during busy times of the month when many users are accessing it). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to bill time by listing the client/matter, providing a brief description, and time spent. Elite rounds off time and allows you to easily submit diaries in batches. Timers make it easy to account for many different client/matters in each day. Also helpfully reminds you of unsubmitted time from days prior when launching the program.

Often will not imput time after the program has been running for a few hours and needs to be refreshed often to function, especially when using timers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3E encompasses all aspects of my job other than email exchange. We leave a paperless trail of billing, and can easily look up client/matter information, AR, and all other data pertaining to accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3E times out at certain points with larger bills, and if you use it in multiple screens sometimes it has to be reloaded due to error messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to make edits to timekeeper records, hours, and matter numbers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many subtabs on main screen; difficult to mavigate at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The timer is very helpful for tracking projects. Using the time matter detail reports are helpful for tracking yearly time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is quite a process to determine what time level you have. Additionally, it is relatively difficult to change entries once submitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is accessible remotely as a web application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is awkward and unwieldy. The automatic spellcheck is annoying. The way the search works is counter-intuitive. The time-entry interface is not user-friendly for anything except a very large screen computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I truly liked the power of the software and versatility, as it allowed me to manage cases practically and simply, unlike many other softwares I've seen in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I implemented Elite a few years ago for a smaller firm -- there are many features which only a mid to large size firm would every need. Seemed a little bit too involved for the firm I was at Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Templates and phone app make tracking time more convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish there were more shortcuts to make it easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Client matter inquiries, obtaining data, editing time entires is simple and easy. Creating spreadsheets are a one step process! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have the option to search by client name in the Group/Matter summary area. Not just by number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
