Overall Satisfaction with Clio
It's used by the whole organization as the legal case management system. It's used for logging calls, logging emails, keeping track of deadlines, managing the calendar, managing contacts, and generating documents. It's a massive organizational tool that helps keep track of tasks and to-do items and keep track of time and expenses. It compliments QuickBooks Online and other enterprise software.

I used Needles 5 (desktop) and it was certainly antiquated by comparison. Needles was in some regards more customizable and allowed for tracking more case type specific things - like medical records requests, liens, etc. At the same time, it does not connect to as many third party apps and it was based solely on the desktop, so you needed to log in to a remote server, which was slow.
