Minimal technical skill required. Good integration with Outlook, though the plugins often had issues. > > **Cons**: Difficult user interface, it seems disorganized and not very intuitive. It's difficult to switch from one area of a file to another area (ie documents to billing and back to contacts). The web URL is complicated so if you don't have it bookmarked you're screwed. > > It just isn't as "clean" as some other programs that I've used. Again, it serves it's purpose but it's nothing to write home about. ----- ### "7 Years Since Dumping Time Matters for HoudiniEsq" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *9 January 2017* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support staff is a stallion. > > **Cons**: Some reporting features can be improved. > > It's been seven years since we made the switch from Time Matters to HoudiniEsq, and we're not looking back. HoudiniEsq has provided us with an easy to use system to manage our law practice. I recommend HoudiniEsq to my colleagues regardless of the size of your firm or practice area. I don't have time to try to figure out complex systems that require vendor technicians to get me going. I needed something that was user-friendly and intuitive, and found both in HoudiniEsq. Thanks the support staff at HoudiniESQ for making our lives a little easier. In today's fast-paced legal enviroment where time management and billing are so critical, it's a relief to know that HoudiniESQ is on the ball with cutting technology to make my life simpler. ----- ### "Great features, hard to use, can grow into something great" — 3.0/5 > **Rex** | *19 January 2015* > > I have used HoudiniEsq for a year. I love the features that this software provides. However, there are a number of bugs and glitches. For example, some of the reporting screens don't translate correctly from the actual accounts receivables or balance due on when creating two invoices for a matter. Additionally, a number of the features take more time to use then doing the task the long way. For example, when linking matter information to a word document, it takes more time fixing the spacing issues and bugs then it is to just type in the name and address yourself. Sometimes, the names don't have a space in between them, sometimes the first name doesn't show up etc. I think now that HoudiniEsq has a good setup, they should work on simplifying the program and work out the kinks in the many features. ----- ### "Money Maximizer" — 4.0/5 > **Sarah** | *15 January 2015* > > pros: Integrates with so many different programs easy to navigate and user-friendly Very easy to customize and add specific categories, types, color customize a calendar, etc. Runs in the background - keep it open all day long w/o slowing down computer and other programs Creating and sending invoices is incredibly simple. Trust Account, Billables, and Accounts Receivable is always available so it's easy to keep track of money. Individual client ledgers makes accounting for each client's expenses, fees, payments, and trust easy to track and very clear and understandable. Keeps everything up to date daily, instead of just at end of month. Ability to link to matters from integrated programs allows maximum billing and the process is quick and painless Support is great - can read articles and topics on any issue related to the program and telephone support is great. cons: Requires patience at first until you understand how the program thinks and operates. Every now and then there is some small glitch that requires me to visit the support page or make a phone call. Have had to install approx. 2 updates in past year - I guess it's a good thing they update the product, but taking the time to install the update is somewhat annoying. Overall: Great product that includes everything you'd need to manage your practice, all in one place. Can create memos while on phone, while the timer is on - takes the burden out of billing time because you're using it throughout the day as you work. Has increased income through ability to "capture" time by linking events, e-mails, documents to matters. For me, it somewhat takes away the panic at the end of the day I used to feel when trying to recall and write down everything I'd done that day. Now, it is all recorded for me as I work throughout the day and contributes hugely to overall organization. ----- ### "Cloud Computing? Houdiniesq is your solution." — 5.0/5 > **William** | *8 November 2010* > > **Pros**: HoudiniEsq has the best and most responsive technical support I have ever encountered with any program or platform. HoudiniEsq works entirely inside of your browser so you can access it anywhere you have an Internet connection. For us smaller guys that mean no exchange server costs or problems with syncing. Also, Houdini is optimized for mobile phone browsers such as the iPhone. HoudiniEsq works a bit different than Time Matters in that everything is a billable "event." Even on your calendar you can view all calls, to do's, drafting ... anything you want can be viewed on your calendar or removed from view with the click of a button. Only want to see appointments with clients and court dates on the calendar, no problem, just a click away. The calendaring is powerful and different than any other calendaring program I have encountered or tested. It does take a bit of time to get used to, but when you do, it results in amazing control of your schedule and your matters. > > **Cons**: Lack of a functioning document automation/assembly system and lack of quickbooks integration. > > I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to transition to cloud based practice management. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/10142/houdiniesq?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/10142/houdiniesq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
