e-automate vs. Mobile Reach vs. Tebra EHR

If you need a system to place and track sales quotes, sales orders, purchase orders, and service calls then E-Automate is perfect. However, if you want to be able to easily bulk upload customers and contracts or if you want to be able to quickly and easily track contract profitability, customer costs, etc, then you'll likely want/need a secondary or different system to do so.

Kareo is not an appropriate application for any real-world clinical need. It is highly unreliable, crashing frequently, and often becomes frozen. It also cannot ingest data from Therapy Notes, which was a promised feature of the platform according to the sales team. Additionally, when we ran into reliability issues (every day, with every clinician at the practice, across a dozen different office locations with different internet service providers) we were not offered the ability to cancel our contract. Until the reliability issues are fixed Kareo is not well-suited to any use case because it does not work.

• Sending Invoices out to customers via email or printing.
• Keep track of ordering and inventory.
• Sales Tax reporting.
• Monitoring customer payment activity/setting up and removing credit holds.
• Calculating payments to process each cycle.
• Excellent aging reports.
• I like the fact that when I am looking at one item, such as an invoice, I have the capability to switch to the customer menu rather than having to exit out of invoices and then enter into customers.
• I love the flexibility of the search menus - being able to sort on several factors at once.

• Catching missing patient info
• Catching missing insurance info
• Providing mailing addresses

• Make sales invoices not require serial numbers, or be more flexible with it.
• Make contract invoices have some sort of flexibility in terms of editing. Our end users complain that QuickBooks made it very easy to edit invoices, and in e-automate, for them, it is practically impossible. (I do personally understand why it has to be as it is myself, I'm just forwarding their observation.)
• Make the API actually useful. I spent days looking at the functions and the functions available are not really useful.

Incentivized

• Everything created can always use adjusting depending on the situation
• Adapting to client needs quicker
• Problems are not reported in a timely manner

Its really the only option for the industry that does enough of what we need for it to function . I'm not sure if there were better options out there if we would have to renew our subscription. With the addition of AI, hopefully something will be able to become more useful.

Kareo was a massive waste of money. It's an unreliable product without promised features and sold by a disingenuous sales team. We will stick to reliable services like Doxy, Therapy Notes, etc.

The user interface may be slightly outdated, but it is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Once you have learned one module within the system it is very easy to apply that knowledge to any other module. It makes using the system much easier, and it makes training another person on the system quick and efficient.

The user interface is fine but it the app constantly freezes or crashes.

Mostly available, sometimes down for issues but usually there when we need it

Reports are the struggle the most with the information being extracted in a way that you need to copy and paste it into a new document so some of the information is not covered

Sometimes when you need answers quickly, a voice on the phone is far better than having to wait for email support or a callback. I have found this to have delays and feel ECI e-automate should invest more in its support infrastructure.

E-automate is much better at understanding the needs of the office equipment industry and provide the necessary tools. SAP Business One has limited features specific to the office equipment industry and includes things that are not useful. E-automate is also priced much better and provides the best value for your investment.

I selected Kareo EHR because it was a lot simpler to use and the customer service was definitely better. Every representative I have spoken to has been super friendly and helpful.

Every department we have does use e-automate to some degree with most being successful.

• The e-automate will stop working if we stop paying each year. We chose not to go to the cloud and buy the software. QuickBooks and other software are a one-time fee.
• E-automate has very few outside vendors for add-on modules.
• The vendors that do have modules are costly.

• We have negative reviews as we were sold a product that left out some key variables. Things we really needed to make the transition.
• I don't think KAREO is good for small business (0-10 employees) because their prices for additional or standard features is steep. They charge by the therapist to boot and it is steep!
• Again ASK questions; do a test run; ask about the migration of your data and its charges.
• You sign with them you will be locked into a 12 month contract with no out clause. If they are costing you the money you have to stay with them.
