GBA litigation fact management app for the rest of us. FactBox is similar in some respects to on older solution - CaseMap. But it is better in several respects. It is web-based, so it is platform agnostic and accessible regardless of whether you are on a Mac, iPad, PC, whatever. You log in and there it is. Plus, it allows you to upload files directly into the system. This is imho superior to Casemap, which depends on Acrobat linking within your network. The links would often become broken and your work was effectively lost. FactBox is relatively young product and I look forward to added features as the product matures.

GBI have been a subscriber for over a… I have been a subscriber for over a year - use it when I can - but two things happened - 1 there is no more support links for questions so if it is not in the posted info - you don't get help. 2. It no longer works. I can't upload a source document - which is a critical component for all lawyers - so - it has failed in very important ways. Too bad - as it would otherwise be a decent platform

GBLiberating software We are a small, boutique energy and environmental firm, and work all over the country. My firm recently completed a transition to a virtual practice. We no longer maintain a physical office, and all of our data is in the cloud. There was up until recently only one thing keeping us tied to a physical location and server - our case management database. We had used CaseMap for many years, and ultimately switched to the SQL version to facilitate remote access. But the more we worked remotely over the years, the more limited we were because two factors - the need for a physical server and the limitations of a Windows environment. Our firm switched to all Macs several years ago, and we were forced to use virtualization software (Parallels) to run CaseMap. The solution that finally "liberated" us from a physical server, and Windows, is Factbox. It is everything CaseMap is but with the enormous advantage of being SaaS, web-based, and completely integrated with cloud storage solutions like Dropbox. We can now work from anywhere with an internet connection - including on a plane at 38,000 feet. We also use iPads extensively, and Factbox is just as easy to use on a tablet as it is on a desktop. As an added bonus, the technical staff at Factbox is extremely responsive, and has been very helpful in both getting us up to speed (a very shallow learning curve, especially for anyone who is familiar with case/litigation management software), and in responding to and addressing the occasional minor glitch. Superb product at a very reasonable price. Very highly recommended.

GBInnovative. Exactly what I was looking for. There is really nothing quite like FactBox. I use it as an essential tool for every project. It is best way out there for capturing ideas and research and molding those ideas into a finished project. It's one of those things where I don't know what I did without it.
