Good for mailings
Reviewed on 09/05/2024
Really good support been with them 22 years
Really good support been with them 22 years
Pros
Easy to use, clear and very reactive and adaptable. Best feature is the mailings that can target specific groups or non returners.
Every time i do a mailing i get lots of bookings online.
Cons
Their draconian GDPR. The unsubscribe button is often mistaken for the attached file so then the pt unsubscribes and moans at me as i havent sent them their receipt. Which is now impossible for them to receive. They need another prompt saying If you unsubscribe you wont ever get a receipt or appointment reminder. Do you really want that?
Response from Rushcliff Ltd
Hi Rachael, thanks so much for your lovely review and we're so glad to hear that PPS is helping to promote and support the continuing success of your business! As for the unsubscribe link in your emails, this can easily be resolved by switching to using your own SMTP details rather than our default ones. If you pop our support team an email they can help you to make this change and hopefully it will improve your client's experience and avoid accidental unsubscribes!

software is just OK, serves most of our purposes but feels very dated and lots of frustrations with it, support people are generally excellent
Pros
Online tech support is very good, but frustrating that phone support isnt as accessible as it used to be.
Cons
Bugs that never get fixed, system failings that don't get addressed, lots of aspects of the system that never get improved so its very time consuming to use.
Response from Rushcliff Ltd
Hi Sasha, thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback is incredibly important to us. I'm sorry to hear that you have experienced some issues with bugs and/or glitches, our technical team works very hard to resolve any issues that are identified whilst keeping a good balance of developing and releasing new features. Our beta program does allow early access to updated versions of PPS which may contain some bug fixes that you are waiting for, if you are interested in accessing our Beta programme, please let the support team know and we would be happy to guide you through it.

On a daily basis, it helped me schedule appointments, manage patient records, and handle billing and invoicing efficiently. I had stated it was old-fashioned but got the job done.
Pros
It has an advanced billing and invoicing system, which is one of its best features. The system creates invoices automatically, tracks payments, and simplifies billing procedures for easy financial management. It guarantees reliable and up-to-date financial records and eliminates the workload for administrators like myself!
Cons
Its older-fashioned than most software today, but it gets the job done

Outstanding - mainly because Rushcliffe our provider has excellent backup support and always there if I need them.
Pros
Ease of use. Makes every day admin tasks simple and quick. All patient records held in one place, no need for any paper in the practice. Accounting made easy and simple to keep a track of outstanding accounts. Setting up of email templates is a breeze - I could go on.
Cons
The only con I have is that the online patient registration form is not easy for the patient to complete - far more complicated that it needs to be in particular the drop down dates for date of birth is hard to get.

Good, have been happy to use and would use again. Add on costs might be prohibitive
Pros
I was able to learn how to use it fairly quickly, there was a good level of support
Cons
Sending emails has been problematic, we must cut and paste emails for records as we don't use the emails in PPS. Uploading data sets has always been a bit clunky but resolvable
Response from Rushcliff Ltd
Hi Karen, we really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a lovely review of PPS. There is a solution that will remove the need for you to copy and paste your emails that our support team can assist you with by simply swapping our default SMTP details with your own. Making this change would mean all outgoing emails from PPS can be seen in your email client's sent box, this might make it easier for you to use the built-in email facility and save you a few extra steps.

Was good when it was first launched. I would definitely go for something more reliable if chosing again.
Pros
The basic functions are easy to use once set up. The email support service is generally helpful but only if you can ignote problems for a day or two at a time. It was a great pity that they abolished their telephone support when they all started to work from home instead.
Cons
A nightmare to work with online. Constantly logs out and takes ages to go through ridiculously cumbersome login procedures a dozen or more times each day. Very complicated and non-intuitive accounting functions. Difficult to design forms. Poor integration between hosted and express versions.

Familiarity. We are using the systems since 2006.
Cons
It is not very intuitive. I have trialled other systems which are much easier to use. To set up something new on PPS therecare a lot of steps back and forth through Tools. I generally need to ask support as I then to forget.

Very good, cost effective practice management software. A real game changer!
Pros
Has greatly improved the efficiency of our practice with online booking and mobile access so made it much easy to manage bookings even away from work. Appointment reminders have greatly reduced forgotten or missed appointments too. Easy to block out times.
Cons
Cost jumps quite quickly if adding more than one practitioner. Can sometimes seem to log out without realizing so just circles on booking screen. Then have to manually log out and log back in

Hi Evonne, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of PPS, we really appreciate your feedback, it is incredibly important and enables us to continue to offer the best possible service to our customers. There are a few different ways to find patients in PPS, including using part of their name, email address, telephone numbers etc. This is something that we could go through in a free online training session which you might find useful as you also mentioned perhaps needing a refresher course. Your free training session can be booked via our website or by emailing our support team.

I generally think that PPS covers most if not all of our needs and is user friendly. New members of staff sometimes can take a long time to get to grips with everything but the support staff are excellent.

Hi Laura, thanks so much for taking the time to give us your feedback. It sounds like you may have gotten off to a bit of a rocky start, we completely understand that transitioning to a new software can involve a bit or trial and error and of course we would love to support you with this as much as we can. Did you know that we offer free online training? This is a little different than the help that you will have received from our support team as we can allocate a member of the team to spend some time working through all of your questions and helping you to get set up. If you think this might be helpful, you can book training via our website at any time or email our support team. Hopefully we can get the diary working as efficiently as possible for you!
