EagleSoft vs. Lighthouse 360

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.

Truly love and appreciate the templets that we can use to send out office specific emails - Also the openings on a schedule notifications are great to get the schedule full - we use it daily!

• 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

• The overall cost for the basic is great, it is all the extras that make it more expensive - we have a few locations so it is not horrible and we use what we pay for to the fullest.
• The only real down fall is the time lapse - it pulls every 30 minutes from the server, I wish it was more real time as sometimes we have an opening that has already been filled and someone still gets a notification of an opening
• We can only text so many words to a patient in response or trying to send a notice - which isn't that big of a downfall.

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

Lighthouse does not offer as many features as NexHealth which is why we are making the switch to NexHealth currently. Solutionreach was not as good as Lighthouse.
