Likelihood to Recommend I would stay away from this company. Not sure why the change, but over the past 2 years literally every level of the organization from tech support through to the CEO has shown complete lack of responsiveness, concern or interest in solving their most loyal client's most basic problems. Their incompetence finally drove us to cancel our accounts after over 10 years with them.
Read full review VixWin Platinum is suitable in a general/pediatric dental setting; it seems to be used in many offices I have been in--not sure if that's because of the price or maybe because it is so easy to use. I believe if you are a speciality practice where you need higher quality x-rays or more options in regards to x-ray editing, VixWin Platinum may not be the best. In my opinion, VixWin Platinum is basic. Be aware of the need for storage (depending on how large your practice is).
Read full review Pros SR will email, text or call your appointments as many times or as few as you want to remind them of their appointments with you. * Ours are set to 2 days before and 2 hours before the appointment. You can set up SR to recall patients and remind them they need to schedule an appointment if they have not been seen in your office. * When we first turned this on we had to set the recurrence WAY out because we received so many appointments we became booked 4 months out. It is now set to every 12 months. This one saves you money on the cost of postcards and stamps not to mention the time it takes your staff to put them all together. Group Messages are the BEST! This enables your office staff to notify patients for a whole day or week about a closing, delay or any changes in your schedule with one quick email instead of someone having to take home a print-out and make these calls from home. Read full review Easy to use--pretty straightforward, especially when rotating x-rays, sharpening an image, and choosing between different mounts. You can set up the mounts how you like it (e.g., if you take a lot of bitewings, you can set up an easy-access "four bitewing" mount). Easy to import and export images when needed. Read full review Cons Landline versus mobile and email. If a patient has a landline and an email or a landline and a mobile number it automatically eliminates the landline confirmation. Some of our eldery patients don't like or know how to text but they have a cellphone. I have a multitude of patients I still have to make a confirmation phone call to because SR won't send a landline call because they have a mobile number. Newsletter editing. Wish it was a little easier to edit. That being said I do love the overall selection and use of Newsletters. Read full review There needs to be an easy way to "move" x-rays from one patient's chart to another. For example, it happens when you take x-rays under the wrong chart and need to move them. Sometimes in the process of moving them, they get lost. Read full review Likelihood to Renew We save too much time with Solution Reach to turn back now.
Read full review Usability Very easy to use and train on (extremely user friendly). It is pretty straightforward and easy to follow, especially if you are new to the dental field or not comfortable using computers and/or programs. (I was in an office that was using charts then went paperless; many of the staff members found VixWin Platinum easy to transition into).

Read full review I have never personally reached out to VixWin, but from watching other members of my offices/dental field reach out, I have noticed that they were on the phone for a decent amount of time when it came to resolving issues with VixWin Platinum. The issue was always resolved but it did take a decent amount of time (a few hours at a time).
Read full review Alternatives Considered Solutionreach, in my opinion, is more user-friendly. They are also very quick to offer a helping hand in areas that might stump us. I also love that unlike
Demandforce when we were using it Solutionreach is always on top of things. If for some reason our server has an issue and they don't receive the upload they need with our information someone is on the phone calling me to let me know. This is not the case with all software systems most don't inform you, you have to call for help when you notice that it hasn't uploaded with the data. This could put you weeks behind on your correspondence.
Read full review VixWin Platinum is basic but I still find it better than
EagleSoft 's dental x-ray system. VixWin Platinum has more options to edit and play with the contrast then
EagleSoft 's x-rays. I also feels as though the quality of x-rays is much better in VixWin Platinum than in
EagleSoft (I get a lot of overexposed images in
EagleSoft , even after adjusting the exposure).
Read full review Return on Investment Increased revenue from appointments that may have been missed had they not received a confirmation or reminder call about an appointment. Able to fill that spot with someone else... Keeps our physicians in the forefront of the patients minds when thinking about healthcare for their child. We take pride in being a part of a family in assisting them with the care of their children. So birthday reminders and fun flyers or newsletters allow us to stay connected. Read full review Easy to take x-rays; easy to see if I need to retake/move image It is nice that you can bring image up larger for the patient to view--great for patient education Disappointing when you can't find an x-ray you just took; it may disappear Read full review ScreenShots
