Great Reporting, Case Management but tricky forms customization
I like being a user of Needles and managing my cases with it. But, as we add practice areas and need customized forms and functions, it does require additional support.
Totally Ignored by Lead Customer Service "Advocate"
Further, Needles techs initially thought the issue was our version of Outlook, and had our firm purchase new licenses for all our uses. Unfortunately, this was a pricey "solution" that did not fix the problem. What is very annoying is that Needles keeps billing us quarterly for "technical support" that is part of our agreement, but fails to fix our technical issues. Also, Needles technicians are all east-coast based. As we're in Arizona, this also presents a problem in availability of their support.

Easy to use and a great way to store information
Pros
Easy to use with different tabs devoted to different aspects of each case. Great organization of documents and information.
Cons
No real drawbacks to this software. It's functional and dependable.
Great Reporting, Case Management but tricky forms customization
I like being a user of Needles and managing my cases with it. But, as we add practice areas and need customized forms and functions, it does require additional support.
Pros
I like that Needles gives you a lot of reporting capabilities, categories, and checklists to be able to manage cases better. It is robust in its customization options and is fairly user friendly on the front end.
Cons
The difficulties are in setting up custom documents. The way the templates are made is cumbersome. And the checklists are tricky to set up on the back end so that they give you enough information to be useful, without being overwhelming.
Response from Needles Case Management
Amanda, we appreciate your feedback regarding the complexity of template generation and have improved this feature in Needles 5.0. These type of suggestions have enabled our development team to improve our product and will continue to be included in future releases. The Checklist is also one of the most valuable and important features of Needles. In cases where your needs are more complex, it is often best to work with one of our Needles Trainers to help you optimize this powerful tool.

Pros
If it worked as promised, it would have been exactly what we wanted in practice management software. It has some great ideas and is supposed to interface with Outlook.
Cons
Our experience has been that the updates are not adequately tested before released to clients, and customer support is not always advised or up-to-date re the various bugs with the updates, and therefore not able to troubleshoot or fix. We have been trying to get Needles to fix the interface with Outlook that resulted from one of there updates, and causes the slowing of email, for nine months now. We have only had this software for a year. As Needles has been unable to properly diagnose and resolve this problem, they are now ignoring us.

Cuts work load in 1/2--what used to take an hour, now takes 30 minutes. Document production is an ease
Pros
Streamlines my caseload and makes EVERYTHING easier-cannot live without it. Comes with me on my phone, laptop, tablet....always easily accessible
Cons
The calendar can use some work....it's very good, but not up to par with the other features. They did a recent update, and I am sure more will be coming to make the calendar better than it already is.
I've administrated Needles for 10 years now
Pros
I love it's flexibility, and the sheer amount of customization that is available within the program and through external connections via ODBC and now API. Nearly anything will be possible if they follow through on their promises for extensive expansion of their API in version 5.0. I also like that it is a locally installed database, and isn't reliant on the cloud. That opens up lots of options when matching up data to other databases you have in-house. The bang for your buck with Needles is pretty exceptional.
Cons
It's still not as feature rich as some of the newer cloud-based alternatives, and the UI prior to version 5 is extremely dated. If you are considering moving to Needles, though, there is no reason not to go straight to version 5.
