EagleSoft has a good user experience for the most part, but do a demo.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
EagleSoft is a Dental Practice Management Software from Patterson, and it's what dental practices will use to keep their electronic charts, schedules, billing, etc. in order.
Pros
- It integrates really well with Patterson Imaging for Xrays
- Very simple to set up new users, or define access rights
- Training on EagleSoft is pretty quick, and everything is easy to find
Cons
- The integrated email client has very limited Outlook compatibility, which means any Email Encryption Add-on will not load. Make sure you have a fully compatible Outlook if this is the case.
- Patterson support has a long hold time, and doesn't deliver the best support around
- The database must be stopped when you do your backup, which can be inconvenient and disallows hourly backup plans
- If you are on a Domain, then each PC needs to be set up multiple times, depending on how many users will be using that PC. This can add to the setup
