In their own words
Casebook
Casebook is a cloud-based case-management platform for human-service providers. It brings client, case, program, and provider details together, with client profiles that can connect across programs. Teams can configure programs, workflows, and reporting, and use forms, service planning, scheduling, notifications, messaging, case notes, referrals, and outcome dashboards. Staff can record intake, notes, and encounters on a phone or tablet while offline; the records synchronize after reconnecting. Referrals can be sent to providers in a service directory and tracked to completion, with stalled or unconfirmed referrals flagged. Casebook offers built-in and custom reports and lists integrations including SMS/MMS, calendar and email, Zapier, webhooks, and an API. It supports Android, iOS, macOS, web, Windows, and API access. Plans are per user and billed annually: Starter is $29 a month for up to three users, Growth is $69 a month, and Team is $99 a month with a five-user minimum.
DFIR-IRIS
DFIR-IRIS is an open-source incident response platform for teams conducting investigations in a shared workspace. Case records organize assets, indicators of compromise, tasks, evidence and notes with an audit trail. Alerts from SIEM, EDR, MISP, IntelOwl or REST endpoints can be collected, triaged and promoted into cases. Evidence can be checked with SHA-256, MD5 or SHA-1, while access restrictions and logs cover downloads, views and changes. War rooms provide real-time chat, threads, room-specific teams and slash commands that record decisions and case actions. Configurable Jinja templates generate PDF or DOCX executive summaries, technical reports or court-ready documents. The project lists modules including IrisVT, IrisMISP, IrisCheck and IrisWebHooks, along with a REST API and 162 hook binding points. Permissions include deny-all, read-only and full-access case controls. Docker and Docker Compose are recommended; Linux and macOS are officially supported, while Windows may need Dockerfile changes for file storage paths. Documentation identifies v3.0.0-beta.1 as the current v3 release and says beta versions are not production-ready. The project advises restricting access and not exposing IRIS to the Internet.
