It’s a reliable system for billing and accounting, though it could be more modern and easier to use. Pros I like the strong billing and accounting features. It keeps everything organized and makes managing finances and invoices much easier. Cons The system can feel a bit outdated and may take time to learn. The interface could be more user-friendly. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Director of Technology Legal Services ### "Great Product - needs updated to current times" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 April 8, 2026 I loved the reporting features it had; it worked amazing. The UI updates they gave were basically masking what the end side of the product functioned off of. Pros Tabs3/Practice Master was one of the best Accounting and Bookkeeping products I have ever used. The reality is, it is an old software platform that requires an on-site server to function; They attempted to utilize the acquired SAAS program and said it would function the same way, however it never did. As a hard-installed (on-site) install, it is absolutely amazing. However it still needs drastic updates to it's overall platform and a rework of the entire backend. Cons They refused to update their systems beyond the Windows 98 based platforms. It nolonger worked with 64bit systems, and required on-prem services. It is an old (while very efficient) product, and needs to be updated to a post year 2010 platform. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 14, 2026 Christopher, thank you for your review. Your terminology suggests that your firm is no longer using Tabs3 software, which is perhaps why you haven’t seen the many enhancements that we have made in recent years. We consistently work with 64-bit OS for firms who wish to stay on-prem, but we also offer Tabs3 Cloud, which has the rich features and security that firms have come to expect from Tabs3. Recently released Version 2026 also sports a more modern look and we have additional enhancements for Tabs3 Cloud coming soon. I hope that this information inspires you to reconsider Tabs3 Software as the firm’s billing, financial, and case management solution. Thanks again! Jay C. Sr. Training Specialist Tari M.

The conflict check reports and all around reporting in general is very helpful. They just updated their billing system as well and it has been very useful Cons It is a very outdated experience when utilizing the software. Only one person can complete the billing at a time which slows down the process. While the offering of reports can be very useful I find myself having trouble utilizing them as there are items that I would like to search or sort by that are only available if you purchase a report builder. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 29, 2025 Emily, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you’re finding value in the ongoing updates, conflict check reports, and recent billing improvements. We also appreciate your notes about the user experience and reporting tools. Many of these challenges — like multi-user billing capabilities and expanded report customization — are addressed in our upgraded solutions, Tabs3 Platinum Edition and Tabs3 Cloud. These versions provide improved speed and performance, eliminate the requirement for other staff to be out to complete the billing cycle, and offer more flexible reporting capabilities. We’d be happy to review your setup and discuss whether an upgrade could better meet your firm’s needs. Please reach out anytime — we’re here to help! Jay C. Sr. Training Specialist Ginna G.

It wasn't until I looked at other time/billing software that I realized there was so much more available. Pros The ability to sort reports the way I wanted them, even if it took way too long to generate. Cons That it takes so long for reports to generate. Not being able to "build your day" and enter by date instead of file/matter. Not being able to split bill. Not able to change code and retain entry. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 25, 2025 Elizabeth, thank you for sharing your review. If you haven’t yet contacted the Tabs3 Support Team, we would love if you would consider calling (402) 419-2210 or submitting an email request via Tabs3.com/support to share your concerns. A Support Team member would go over the functionality of the Tabs3 Software version you’re using and provide guidance with split billing and recommendations for other issues you’re having. One thing to consider would be upgrading to our Platinum Edition, which provides reports, filtering, and column sorting 10 to 30 times faster. In addition, if we don’t yet have a feature your firm needs, share your idea at wishlist@tabs3.com. We appreciate your feedback! JayC., Sr. Training Specialist PW Patty W.

President Accounting ### "Excellent for dedicated timekeepers" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 22, 2025 I have been using TABS3 for over 20 years. Prior to that time, as a CPA, I assisted attorneys who were using it as well. It is an excellent product that has been around for a long time. And this is a company that understands "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" because it works! (Don't misunderstand the difference between updated/modernized versus "overhauled". This product has kept up with the times without overreaching.) Pros This is an excellent product that works as advertised. It is geared towards attorneys but, as a CPA firm, it has benefitted us greatly. Cons I would like to have a better "training session" to use this software. I believe we are using it well, but it could be better benefit us (but I'm not sure how).
