Cloud 9 Software vs. EagleSoft

Charting is easy. Clicking on all that tabs at each appointment. That makes it a lot quicker when charting. I would like to see a new tab to view X-rays. When I have to scroll through all the photos to view when we took the last x-rays, it’s a lot because we take photos at every appointment.

Eaglesoft is well-suited for a general dental practice. It
allows all patient records to be housed under a single program, with buttons to access various components of the patient's chart. Radiographic
images are taken and imported into the software, so there is no need to use
additional software for patient images. I can't say whether this software would be well-suited for a specialty office.

• I wish the check out process could be a little more simplified.
• I feel I do a lot more clicking with the mouse with opening and closing screens.
• When clicking on a patient in the schedule I wish it showed who I'm calling to verify and appointment without opening the patients chart.

• 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

Easy to use!

Easy peasy! Easy to navigate and start using from day one!

I have spoken to several support members along the way, and everyone is super helpful and exited to find a solution. Everyone is courtesy and patient. I had a problem that I could not figure out on my own and just with my description, I was given clear step by step instructions to get it solved!

Better training/trainors

The non-server version of Ortho2 we were already using would have cost a significant amount to merge our three separate office databases. Cloud 9 already had parameters set to be able to do this. All of our documents and images transferred over with just minor issues- like where would our online forms go that Cloud 9 did not have an automatic home for. Cloud 9, on the other hand, does not have nifty image layout options, their letter editor is a cranky non-Word program I do not like, and creating custom reports is definitely easier in Ortho2.

EagleSoft has more functions and is more user friendly than other dental software. The helpline either online or over the phone is always helpful.
