A bit of a learning curve, but once it is setup has been very reliable.

Pros

System is very robust. Interface and detailed logs are great for troubleshooting syntax issues or for correlating printing events with other areas of process.

Cons

Lack of ability to open Codesoft from Sentinel server for troubleshooting.

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

It's a great product overall and we've had a positive experience using it thus far.

Pros

Sentinel has been a reliable work horse. We use it for our patient identification and wrist band solution. Very little maintenance involved and overhead once set-up

Cons

The initial set-up was a little more challenging and convoluted, but doing so with support made it far easier.

We replaced LOFTWARE label solution with TEKLYNX, and we had a big savings over LOFTWARE upgrade cost. This solution works much better at a lower cost.

Pros

It allows printing from a Central Server from our Oracle System to many differrent locations for Shipping and Receiving.

Cons

Have to Pay for each printer, so we are limited. But this applied to our Previous Solution.,

Switched from

[Loftware Spectrum](https://www.capterra.com/p/175885/Spectrum/)

Upgrade Cost was Too High, so we looked for alternatives to LOFTWARE.

Reasons for choosing SENTINEL

Because SENTINEL was used within TEKLYNX

Review source

Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication.

Response from Vendor
