Likelihood to Recommend	Skyscape No answers on this topic	NextGen Healthcare To start, Nextgen PM is NOT well-suited for companies who are looking for a could-based product—you will be required to house this software on your own server (this will force that company to maintain their own infrastructure). The solution is great for a company looking for a PM/EHR combo that communicates well with each other. The two modules are owned by the same company and does not require a costly API/bridge to be built between the two programs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Usability	Skyscape No answers on this topic	NextGen Healthcare Overall, a very easy and robust system to use for small practices. It enables us to keep billing in house and connectivity with various databases keep the providers "in the know" about what's going on with their patients. Some solutions - such as the patient portal and online scheduling are cumbersome and we have difficulty getting patients to use them. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Skyscape No answers on this topic	NextGen Healthcare We feel that Nextgen does not stack up very well against the cloud-based software on the market. Housing the underlying tables on your own hardware requires COSTLY man hours. We are in the business of providing health care services to patients, not database administration. Introducing cloud-based products has had a tremendously positive effect on our business. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Skyscape No answers on this topic	NextGen Healthcare Nextgen did a good job of transitioning our practice away from paper health records. I believe that the Return on Investment would have been much higher had we gone straight to a cloud-based tool. By getting our feet wet with Nextgen, we have a pretty good understanding of Practice Management software. In other words, we could plug and play with most systems on the market.
