Birdeye vs Weave: Which is a better fit?

Dana: Hello, my name is Dana. I'm a brand ambassador for a large construction company, and I give Birdeye a four rating. I switched from Podium and the reason why I switched was because of price. The reasons why I chose Birdeye is my rep told me I would get everything that Podium offered for less. Onboarding was a cluster. They promised me I'd be onboarded, and then they found out that they were too busy and it was delayed by two weeks. I would recommend other people using Birdeye to make sure that they get everything in writing before they agree to their terms. I think they were a little bit fast on the sales pitch and did not provide everything they offered.

Speaker 1: My name is Jennifer. I work for Dr. Randall. I am his insurance coordinator, and I rate Weave at a four. We were using a combination of Dental Intel and Modento, which they have married together anyways. Modento was our main source of communication, like Weave, we could text and do the patient forms and confirmations. Yeah, that's about it. We chose Weave, first of all, when I did the demo, I did it on a day off, and I was so excited when it was all, well, I was excited through the whole thing, but really excited when it was over that I called my lead. I almost went down to work just to tell her everything about it. It excited me for a few reasons. One was I'm the only insurance coordinator in the office, and you have the ability in Weave to put in the basic of information on a patient and it can verify whether they are eligible or not. And so when I'm not there, that made it simple for the front office to verify insurance, which is wonderful. Plus it was everything all in one. Those are the two highlights for me. I don't like having a ton of platforms that you have to log into every single day, so it was nice to have one where we could communicate, we could do forms, we could do payments, we had our phones. Oh, the phones was another thing too. I really loved the pop-ups when a call is coming in from a patient. Those are my three favorite things. Started with Weave was super easy. The onboarding was simple. Even getting the phones was easy. The only mishap we had was we miscounted how many phones we needed, but that was our fault, not Weave's. It was really easy and it didn't take long at all, and they're constantly progressing, so yeah, it's one of my favorite things. I would have to say, make sure you do the demo first and ask lots of questions after the demo, write questions down for when you speak with them again, because you will speak with them again before you onboard. Make sure that whatever operating system you're using is totally compatible. That's the only reason I gave them a four instead of a five was there's a couple of things with Eaglesoft that I wish were a little different or better, but like I said, they're constantly improving and advancing, so I'm not worried about it being an issue in the future. Yeah, that's my advice.
