I like this program!!
At first it was daunting as there is SO much information but once we figured it out I love it!
I'm part of the team that works on our documentation to make things flow easier. It's great to be able to tailor it to our company needs.
Vorteile
Being able to read my staff input by generating a report whenever I need it.
Being able to pull reports to the tableau so I can see my numbers just like that.
Nachteile
Only being able to access from work computers with the VPN installed there. Would be great to be able to access from personal computers.

EXcellent system for client files and caseload management
We love Penelope for report writing and for documenting outputs for different projects including quality assurance reviews - we know that we are not using Penelope to it's full capacity and there is a lot more potential for improved and different methods of reporting.
Vorteile
The user interface for our frontline counsellors is very intuitive which is efficient in getting new users up and running and is excellent for day-to-day casen documentation and file management
Nachteile
Customization of the software was a challenge for us to understand our needs with respect to the many different functions and options available - using the sandbox was helpful in working out a few of the errors we made in planning

Want to leave this service but they hold your data hostage
Extremely poor experience. Cannot even describe how obtuse the customer service and technical support is
Vorteile
Theres not much that I can think of that I like about it. Have seen several much better more user friendly options. There are apps like asana for task management and harvest for time tracking and many invoicing apps that work better for cheaper.
Nachteile
very outdated and not user friendly. Cant keyword search so case notes become a wall of unusable info. Cant run excel reports, only clunky pdf ones. takes way too many clicks to do anything. poor customer service even though we've been customers almost 10 years. will only provide you client data to you ONCE for free and only in coding format that only an IT professional could use. Want to charge twice the cost of a years service for them to extract the data in a usable format. They say this will take 35 hours-- shouldnt they have the code and process for that down pat, as something they do all the time? make it impossible to leave the service unless you want to abandon all of your historical data and manually input your clients into a new system or pay an exorbanent amount of money. feel taken advantage of. they are not staying current with competitors.

Penelope from the Perspective of Reporting and Program Surveillance
I was hired to obtain, process and analyze the raw Penelope data because the built in reports were not sufficient for our reporting purposes. To be fair to Athena, I've observed this is true with any database system; built in reports for any database are static and the reporting needs of non-for-profit organizations are dynamic and shift at least annually.
Initially, I had trouble using my credentials to log into Penelope's ODBC interface. It took a couple of months for Athena to figure out the issue was on their end. Once I was able to download the data, I had to figure out where everything was at and how to link it together. Athena's data dictionaries were invaluable, but you have to become familiar with the databases to correctly merge them and prepare the data. Now I can track anything entered into Penelope.
Vorteile
Penelope is comprehensive in terms of documenting service appointments, client assessments, referrals, notes, agency workshops and meetings, etc. One can access the raw data via ODBC and prepare the data for reporting, projections for grant writing or program surveillance. One can also use the built in reports for these. There is a feature that allows appointments to sync with Microsoft Outlook that is very handy. Athena Software has a lot of documentation for Penelope that I have found extremely helpful. Managers can look at staff caseloads easily.
Nachteile
I found that support for accessing the raw data, especially in terms of data preparation is very limited unless you pay for a support meeting. They do provide data dictionaries and data maps which I found very helpful. Using login credentials for downloading the data can be frustrating initially because they are not immediately actualized by the engineers. Once that occurs, ODBC works fine and is reliable. With other issues Athena responds fairly quickly. Also, they do not provide support for using R. Thankfully, there is sufficient documentation from R developers that enabled me to figure it out.

many used
We are a unique organization in many ways, (arent we all) and the configuration of the software was an undertaking not for the faint of heart. We did have issues where Athena struggled to understand our business model during configuration. Once we overcame this issue, Athena has been very flexible, understanding and creative in helping us maximise the softwares uses to our organizations specific needs. We have found great value for money in this partnership.
Vorteile
The engage tool (client communication) has made a big difference to our interactions with clients, particularly during COVID lockdowns. The customer service and support is always quick, informed and flexible to our needs. Our particular business pushed the Penelope system slightly out of its intended scope, but the Athena team has been so flexible with us and very creative in solving our issues.
Nachteile
The software can be difficult to configure and test. The testing environments are extremely helpful for this, but as with all software, it can be impossible to understand the ramifications of system changes without testing each and every expected output. I have seen systems that do this a little better than Athena's Penelope.

It does a lot
Overall, there are a million types of software for mental health out there. And Penelope is a solid, experienced, reliable, excellent customer-service option that keeps getting better. I trust Penelope, I like that it keeps improving, and I look forward to seeing some of the problems fixed!
Vorteile
Penelope offers a wide range of options for customizable software. Our counseling center is a practice of about 50 professionals, and in the search for software, we realized that our software needs are a bit unique. Penelope was able to offer customizable options and reports (reports are an additional cost) that fit our needs.
Nachteile
It's expansive (which is good), but keep in mind that it takes time to train, set up, install, teach others, and learn how to best use. In addition, the reports are sometimes be transferred to excel and other times not. There is no mobile version yet (they are working on it), but mobile use is important for in-the-field or during-the-commute work. SO when the mobile version is up and running, it will be amazing.

Penelope has given us great flexibility with our student counselor population!
Our student counselors are learning great skills in using an electronic records system. Reports are much easier to run, supervisors can access the progress notes and other documents at any time, and can be alerted to situations like suicidal ideation or risk.
Vorteile
Students have access everywhere; outcome measures are great, and the ability to see visual score charts across time is especially effective for clients.
Nachteile
It is hard to delete some mistakes. Written instructions are still not as clear as I would like. I still find it complex when setting up new outcome measures.

Not user friendly at all
It accomplishes having a medical records. We stay with it due to the headache of changing and being a small non-profit.
Vorteile
I am not a fan of Penelope at all so there is very little I like.
Nachteile
It is terribly difficult to schedule clients, indirect appointments, or interface with other staff members. The fees are too high for what you get. It is impossible to get basic reports. Due to the high fees we are unable to purchase enough licenses for everyone which means we have to take turns entering information into the system.

We use Penelope for scheduling, case noting, and financials. We've been very happy with it.
Vorteile
The best thing about using this software is the reliability and the customer support. I've been using this software daily for almost two years and the site has only gone down once for about half of a day. Within moments, customer service sent me an email telling me how I could still access the site using a different method. Also, any questions that I've had have been answered with clear and concise instructions within hours. The help section of the software also contains very clear instructions for performing many tasks.

Excellent software, does what we need and in time may need to roll with changes of improvement
Ease of use
Vorteile
Understanding the software helps, once you do this and you can appreciate it more and what it does and becomes a very simple solution.
Nachteile
May need a redesign of the workflow but probably more so in training of navigators. Feedback from customers is essential in developing a catered solution for that market but keeping the same NGO concept of the original design and perhaps improving the use of the product based on your target market.

I used this system as a mental health intern - it was my first exposure to mental health...
It was at least a basic way to electronically organize and store confidential client information.
Vorteile
It has a lot of different and very useful functionalities. You can get very granular with your documentation if you choose to.
Nachteile
The user interface was rather convoluted and sometimes not very easy to engage. There would be multiple ways to access different parts of a case file, or different places to deposit similar information, which was very confusing.

EHR for Non Profit Mental Therapy Office
Our trainer has been very responsive when we have questions and need further direction! I am very excited to finish the production side of our project and to start using the program.
Vorteile
I like that using this program will allow our office to reduce our use of paper and switch over to digital health records.
Nachteile
The set up is very time consuming, do not underestimate how much time this project will take. Some of the terminology is different from what we use geographically and in our office, that takes some time to get used to as well.

Case Management with Penelope - Volunteer Users
It is positive - the reports are essential for being able to accuracy report our statistics regarding the activities utilized by our clients. The Case Management is very important to keep the records that are so important - other agencies come to us for our statisitics.
Vorteile
We have been able to create a procedures manual for our volunteers based on your instructions to do the very specific tasks they need to know for recording activities and events for which they are responsible. Their experience with case management features is limited; however, even our less computer familiar volunteers are able to perform well. Procedures, once learned, can easily be conveyed by experienced volunteers to our new volunteers.
Nachteile
There is a lot of capability of this software - as more in learned, it becomes more valuable; but the learning curve can be difficult for volunteers who come in to volunteer may once or twice for a 4 hours shift in a month. Re-learning/retraining is a constant - hence, our procedures manual.

Penelope User Review
We have used Penelope Case Management system since 2003. It is very versatile and many changes have been done to make it portable and easy to use. The ability to create documents for our own needs is a fantastic function of the system. We have created Initial Assessments, Progress/Closing Documents, activity notes and outcome tracking forms all for our specific needs. The ability to customize fields at all levels for the system to track information we need for grants and statistics is also very helpful.
I would recommend this system to any one agency or organization that tracks a variety of data elements and wants to organize your data to meet your needs.
Vorteile
The versatility. It has a ton of user defined fields that can be setup in any combination that works for your agency. Billing is relatively simple and creating service units and activities is easy to do. Tech support has been very good over the years and the system is very rarely down. System outage issues just don't exist.
Nachteile
I would like to have a report writer system build into Penelope instead of using pivot tables to create customized reports.

Excellent product!
With Penelope, we are able to share necessary client information with other case managers with greater ease and efficiency. Scheduling for client appointments is centralized and contains all the data that is needed so that clients and service providers never miss an appointment. Using Penelope has saved our organization countless hours in searching for information and communicating with each other.
Vorteile
The best part about this software is the customer support that comes with it. We were able to customize it with the help of the Athena team to meet all of our case management needs.
Nachteile
It's hard to say what we like least about the software because it has been so helpful in meeting the needs for which we purchased it. It does take a little while to get used to using it and to learn all the facets but once you do, it's very easy to use.

Penelope has been a great tool for our programs. I have enjoyed learning all she has to offer
Vorteile
I like the ease of reporting functionality. It is very easy for me to see how often our clients are being serviced & how they are progressing within our programs. I like being able to link records with family members so we can get a wholistic view of what is happening with more than one client in a family group. The technical support that has been given to us has been fantastic.
Nachteile
Penelope is more suited to a clinical environment. There are a number of features within Penelope that we do not use. Some screens are hard to navigate & has some functions that are not relevant to our program needs. In the beginning of the process members of the Penelope project team with MPREC had a teleconference with customer rep. This was a very long drawn out meeting & was one that all of us did not get any benefit out of. Please when introducing your product find a better person to try to sell the program. Her presentations were very monotone & quite boring. We found ourselves drifting away from the meeting.

Customizable Software with Excellent Support
Overall, Penelope has been a great asset to our organization. It has helped to gather our data into one secure location for all staff to access. We love the ability to configure Penelope to best fit our organization, and we look forward to the reporting updates in the near future.
Vorteile
The ability to unite multiple programs with varying services is by far the best feature. This software allows us to track our families and the services they utilize, regardless of location and which program they attend. The ease of access to log into Penelope and the extensive help support (trainings, guides available on the website, and direct technical support) are additional key features Athena excels in.
Nachteile
In the beginning, it was a bit challenging to integrate this software with our current business processes. The inability to export data using Excel is the most challenging. Although there is an option to export data, it requires further training and time especially with merging pertinent identifying and service information.

Great Case Management Software
Our overall experience has been great! Our cases are cleaner, more accessible and reporting is more efficient. Penelope is a great software for case management.
Vorteile
The software is user friendly for those utilizing it daily. It's functionality of the software and its accessibility for reporting is great. Penelope has made our cases cleaner and faster to access.
Nachteile
When adding a photo under profile, the photo can't be seen 100% after it's downloaded. So for our restricted users, it's hard to view a client’s photo because only the forehead if visible. It would be great if our case plans could auto populate from the initial one so we don't have to reenter the same information in the progress and closing plans.

Good product
Vorteile
Overall, I really enjoy most of the features of Penelope. Although there are many clicks to do one single task, the benefit of this, is that options are highly accurate and match actuals.
Nachteile
I wish there were ways to feed Penelope reports into other software or vice versa. This would help with bookkeeping purposes. As of now, it is manually required that I crosscheck Penelope data with other sources (Square, Cashapp). It would be more effective for reporting if Penelope could feed into or be linked with other outside services.

potentially great data base system
Penelope support is heavy in the initial stages but drops off drastically as you launch the system. Penelope staff for the most part though are committed to providing good customer service.
Vorteile
Having spent the past year learning how to navigate the software, our team is impressed with the detail it is able to capture. It has opened up numerous opportunities to report data on our various programs.
Nachteile
The amount of work it takes to "set-up" the system is not to be taken lightly. Another con is learning about reports and extracting your data...you're pretty much having to "play" with it which can become quite time consuming.

Some pluses, some frustrations
Vorteile
Penelope has many features that other software does not, like pulling statistical reports and tracking anonymous client interactions. It gives flexibility in some areas to customize and tailor your software experience to your organization. Generally, it functions well for its purpose.
Nachteile
Penelope is difficult to learn and is not very intuitive to use. It's not visually appealing. The statistical reports don't always have the capability to capture the information you need. There are quite a few small, annoying processes that leave new users frustrated (like re-opening a case file and having to delete the "end date" before you can put in new information. Shouldn't re-opening it automatically invalidate the end date?)

We love Penelope!
We are a care coordination division of a TPA, providing case management, utilization management, care transitions, and chronic condition management services to 80,000 members. Penelope has been so easy for us to use. The nurses love it, because they can communicate with other team, have our MD remotely look at notes, and we can easily pull case reports for underwriters.
I used Penelope in my former job, and when we did this start up, it was the first thing I thought of to use. The support staff are friendly and understanding, and are great with training. I would highly recommend.
Vorteile
The reports are easy to to understand - especially to non-user stakeholders and our clients. The forms are easy to create and adjust, and the billing/ cart system is easy for my staff to use for their billable hours.

Flexible, configurable and reliable (so far)
I've been using Athena's Penelope Case Management Tool in our Community Acquired Brain Injury service for over 8 years. In that time it's proven itself a valuable and reliable source of organisational data as well as an essential tool for sharing person-centred information within a multi-d team.
It's powerful out of the box, but can be configured to many different kinds of interaction. Being cloud based, it makes accessing the records you need easy, whether you're working onsite or off.
Athena have managed to evolve the system impressively, and it has more than kept pace with changes in the way we work and use technology.

Penelope has allowed our staff to work more cohesively by providing a user friendly database.
Vorteile
For the first time our organization has been able to capture better client and partner data that has allowed our multiple departments to work more cohesively. The ease of use of the Smart Documents and Forms has enhanced the way we gather demographic and program information for grants and funding purposes. While the overall functionality of the database has been very helpful to capturing client and partner data, we hope further updates with the Search function and Calendar will better serve our organizational needs, for example searching by Event Description (specifically Indirect Events). Both the launch support and technical support team have been wonderful to work with and respond quickly to our inquiries.
Overall: Cloud Based, Easy to create Forms, and Smart Docs are great features. Reports within Penelope are great for capturing basic information. Easy for most staff to use.
Nachteile
It'd be helpful if more fields were more customizable and if reports could be more specific (more Breakdown options) in Penelope instead of having to utilize the Open Database Connectivity. Search function includes many fields to filter by, but not all the fields that we need- would like better customizable search options.

Captures all Data but All Over the Place
It's a full featured program that you can adapt to many different scenario's - but you need to set it up right.
Vorteile
It has the ability to capture data for every aspect of the process.
Feature rich.
There's the ability to report directly from the raw data (from the back end) but this requires a fair bit of extra knowledge to get it working effectively.
Nachteile
The data is all over the place - you need to know where to go to enter/find what you're looking for.
Reporting is somewhat lacking - lots of standard reports but often quite specific.

UI is poor. Reporting function only in PDF. not SMS friendly. Case file structure = privacy...

it has a diary schedule linked to cart items. it's god if you only want Penelope to do one thing, ie, ATAPS service & payments
Nachteile
UI poor resulting in clunky data entry and more time spent entering data.
not mobile / tablet friendly
Reporting function does not provide dashboard, only reports in pdf or that you have to cut and past into Excel.
Case file / service file structure creates privacy issues - we may have to move away from this product on the basis of legal advice

Penelope Review
Overall it is useful for our current needs.
Vorteile
It assists with tracking our clients progress as they move through our four phase continuum of care.
Nachteile
There are aspects that are not easy to navigate; it is not clear how to get where you want to go, you have to be trained in the process, it is not self-explanatory.

Penelope
Vorteile
It meets the majority of our needs for tracking clients, staff notes, documents and scheduling space in our building (both internal and external meetings).
Nachteile
I can't create mailing labels from Penelope, the calendar of meetings (outside groups can schedule days/times to use our meeting rooms) doesn't always sink between the appointment icon and the monthly calendar (side tab). Wish the calendar worked more like Outlook. Search should be for anything vs. having to click an option.

We love the staff response/feedback
Save time, money and easy access to client files and staff schedules. More efficient with documentation and effective client planning within systems. Access to quick reports and better billing processes.
Vorteile
The fact that it's mobile friendly makes introducing the database a little more exciting to staff and executives.
Nachteile
The lack of application or mobile software for worker use. I always get the weird look when workers ask "is there an app?" and I say "No" I'd certainly like to change that response.

Our experience with Penny, so far
Overall the staff at Penelope is helpful and knowledgeable. Penelope is pretty expensive compared to many other databases and the software does offer a good bit to help compensate for the cost. However, some of our staff feels that we should have received more hands-on assistance and instruction for the price. To some extent I believe that more from not having a local based team to work with and all Penny staff being located in other countries. Everything was handled remotely so, if there is any complaint I believe it is just not being able to work in person with anyone. All in all though, the team we had did a great job, considering the distance, and our staff is starting to really like the software as they are trained.
Vorteile
The tech support team is great and the flexibility of form creation is fantastic.
Nachteile
The configuration and data migration process was a bit confusing and more time consuming then we planned on.

I find Penelope an intuitive and easy to use client management system. It is the most effective system I have used in the 15 years I have been using client management systems.
Nachteile
None that I can think of at this very moment.

Excellent customer service! Very easy to use the site!
This program is primarily used for reporting on our cliental. This software coincides with what we are looking for as we can build it around our company!
Vorteile
It is nice that you can build the site around your company. When you have questions, a support staff member is very quick in response.
We have 6 programs running out this program, which makes it easy to gather demographic data for all of them, in one place!
Nachteile
The only negative was fixed. I had trouble trying to run cross reports for all our programs, but with granted access, I am now able to pull from an Excel spreadsheet for any report.

Penelope Is Great
Penelope is imply a great way to manage client data for records and progress tracking.
Vorteile
The software really allows us to keep accurate records of our clients in an organized, easy to follow manner.
Nachteile
When working with a group, it is not possible to schedule everyone at the same time which means different time slots for each group member. This blocks out more time than is real time for clinicians availability.
