Covetrus Pulse Reviews & Product Details

I like that it is cloud based. The interface is for the most part user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a lot of glitches and outtages. Can be very slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the complete problem list easily accessible when MR opened. However, this has been changed and the current format is unhelpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Repeatedly have days where system is not functional. Updates do not appear to be industry tested. Valuable information is changed into non-functional locations. I have been trying to leave Covetrus Pulse for 5 months and still do not have the data delivered to my new software company. This is a very shady way to make me continue to pay for Pulse, even though we have not used it for 5 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can use it anywhere I'm at, Use at home or in office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When Internet is down we have no way to get into patient records Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pulse has made our workflow much more efficient. It has improved the appointment flow, inter-office communication and allowed the team more time to focus on patient care. It was a huge help in our transition to a paperless practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the functions of Pulse have made invoicing difficult due to not being as robust as our previous PIMS in functionality (ex. Rounding up fees and not changing the mark-up, boarding charges being linked to inventory). Pulse allows offices to input requests for new functions and are constantly updating which helps!

The software is easy to use, easy to teach staff when onboarding, and visually not overwhelming. Tasks are generally easy to accomplish and regular updates help improve the software as technology improves. The ability to take notes easily and integration with multiple laboratories is great. Customer support is generally friendly and solves most of my issues when I contact them in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some updates are not helpful. For example, they rolled out an update that when you e-mail a report card to a client it now opens a brand new tab in your browser to send that e-mail. So if I have 20 patients in a day, 20 separate windows or tabs are opened to send those report cards which is incredibly draining of memory and resources on a CPU regardless of whether or not it is cloud based. This was an improvement which has only added to the reputation that Pulse is too clicky. Asking for a provider with every single click of the software is also cumbersome and annoying especially if you are a doctor inputting notes and religiously log out of your account like I do :-) Having document templates in e-mail construction is something I would love to see! Figuring out a way to make Pulse more smartphone friendly is always on my wishlist. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is very user-friendly. It is straight forward and easy to learn the in's and out's of. There are multiple tutorials, a great live chat feature, and the support team is always very helpful. It allows for customization of templates, which is great to set our hospital apart. It's also easy to create new files for clients and their pets. Being able to log into the software from any device is very handy when you occasionally have to take work home with you.

Because it is new, there are a few features missing. When we inquire about these features, we're told to submit a request, which gets added to thousands of other user's requests. So far, we have not seen any of these be implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the integration with Rapport- that saves us a lot of time. I like the customization of the schedule based on who is in each day. I like the ability to email records directly from the system rather than having to download attachments. I like the integration with antech for ease of tracking lab results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pulse is very slow and tedious. There are too many steps to remember at check out. There are too many different ways to do everything-and not every way something can be done is the correct way. This makes the system hard to learn and tedious to use. Invoicing is too complicated and too rigid- it should not be difficult to review and invoice, remove items, change items, apply discounts, take payments etc. Billing is terrible. I have to self address envelopes to mail bills- it is 2024 this is absolutely absurd. I dislike the inability to see at a glance a patient's vaccine status when making boarding reservations. I find the medical record overwhelming and busy to look at making it harder to find the information I need at a glance. Overall I have been dissatisfied with Pulse and would caution anyone from transitioning to this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Online access, which allows me to work from anywhere I can get internet. I can check the schedule from my phone, update charges on the fly, etc. Integrates with online pharmacy and our in house and outside lab. We are also now using Rapport for two way texting to clients, which has helped take some of the load off our CSRs up front answering phones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were less clicking, like how on Avimark everything was on a single screen. They also moved everything to a side panel which is so much more work and clicking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and learning the platform is great. It's easy to train on. There's not an obscene amount of clicks to get to what you're trying to accomplish. Customer support is awesome to work with. They are typically very quick to get to you - through call or chat. We've been using Covetrus Pulse for 4 years now. We also utilize VRX Pro Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lab dashboard could use some work. Antech labs don't write as seamlessly as we need. There's also not a great way to handle prescription requests, so we've had to create our own workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use. The menu layout is simple and very easy to follow. Makes training new employees very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Over the years we have had lots of performance issues. Software being slow or unresponsive. Support has been a problem getting them to acknowledge the problem. There are many bugs that still exist. Some, if you are not aware, will cost you money. Changes with integration with companies backing out of Pulse. Glitches in web browsers needing history cleared once a day is a pain. My staff are not IT experts yet you always blame things on our end when it's bad programming. Pick a browser to support and help make your platform work best on that browser.
