Key user insights about Covetrus Pulse

Based on of verified reviews collected between April, 2013 and September, 2024
avatar 1

Patient records

Based on 82 reviews
Users appreciate the ease of navigating patient and client accounts, scheduling appointments, and adding new clients and patients in Covetrus Pulse. They find it straightforward to enter and locate medical notes, lab findings, and billing records, which streamlines their workflow. However, they encounter challenges with time-consuming access to records, difficult prescription refills, and the need for multiple clicks to complete tasks, which can be frustrating and inefficient.

Anywhere access

Based on 78 reviews

Reviewers value the ability to access Covetrus Pulse from any location, which enhances their flexibility and remote work capabilities. They highlight the convenience of logging in from home or any device with an internet connection, making it easier to manage their practice on the go. The cloud-based nature of the software ensures that they can work seamlessly from multiple devices, providing them with the freedom to stay connected to their practice from virtually anywhere.

Pros

  • I do like how functional it is compared to some of the other programs I have used, user friendly once you learn the program and has great customer service if you ever need help.

  • Software is straight forward and simple to use. The user interface is excellent and the features make it some of the best veterinary software I have used in 20+ years.

  • Overall, I am very pleased with eVet Practice. I feel that it is very user-friendly and your customer service is awesome.

  • I do enjoy some features, like how you can easily access the invoicing from more than one place, making notes are easy, editing is easy, and understanding the schedule/scheduling is VERY easy.

Cons

  • Poor, customer service was the worst. It wasn’t until I finally called and said I was leaving that they attempted to fix anything.

  • I dislike scheduling and having to select times manually. I dislike how checking out clients is Multiple step process.

  • About 15 minutes later, there was a warning message popping up.

  • We had expected less problems and headaches with evet than with Avimark, but have been disappointed. There really isn't that much difference.

"Great value, still needs improvements"

Overall: Overall, it's good. I've used eVet/Pulse since 2014 between 2 practices. I'm used to it, I think it's a good product. I just know it could be better.

Pros: It's fairly easy to learn and is user freindly

Cons: LOTS of clicking to get to the right page. Also, all of the "enhancements" that they do are not usually actually productive or things that I've seen anyone ask for- making the border of the EMR pink or blue to indicate gender.....there are plenty of other requests that are more important than that.

Reasons for Choosing Covetrus Pulse: Price was good, but also the fact that I was already familiar with it from my previous practice
Switched From: IntraVet
Reasons for Switching to Covetrus Pulse: Intravet was super outdated

"CCAH Review "

Overall: It has been amazing this is the second practice that I have implemented pulse at.

Pros: The ease of access and use. The reports features make my life a lot easier. My tech's also love how everything is much easier to access.

Cons: No access to an app feature yet. I think it would be amazing if there was an IOS app.

Switched From: Cornerstone Software
Reasons for Switching to Covetrus Pulse: Cornerstone is outdated and not very user friendly for the younger generation coming into vet med. There is a lot more process and steps involved with cornerstone and it takes a lot of time for charting.

"Do not like Covetrus Pulse"

Overall: Pulse can be VERY glitchy, it goes down from time to time and we cannot do our daily tasks, it's not user friendly. I don't know what happened from when we first started using EVet Practice to Pulse, but something happened and not for the better. When we call about problems we are having, it's ALWAYS our server and not their problem to look into. The CSR are very nice and I know they are told what to say, it's by no fault of their own they can't say anything but "it's your server". I feel like Covetrus just doesn't want to take on the problems and fix what needs to be fixed. Pulse it just not what it used to be and sure not helpful when you have a problem. I wish I could say better things about Pulse.

Pros: At this time there is not much I like about Pulse

Cons: I used to rave about Pulse, something has changed and not for the better. I would not recommend it to a colleague at this time.

Alternatives Considered: ezyVet
Reasons for Choosing Covetrus Pulse: We THOUGHT it would be the best of the cloud based PiMS
Switched From: Cornerstone Software
Reasons for Switching to Covetrus Pulse: We made the switch to use less paper and convenience.

"Complex but helpful program"

Overall: There is a learning curve. The invoicing and accounting system is a bit complex and difficult to explain to clients. Overall, information is easy to find is easy to find, transferring patients and clients is simple. Definitely a useful program.

Pros: The amount of customization available is helpful, information on patient visits is organized and easily acessed, adding documents is simple and fast

Cons: Some processes are time consuming like boarding check in/out and the addition/subtraction of services once they have been sent to invoice.

Alternatives Considered: IDEXX Neo
Reasons for Choosing Covetrus Pulse: Cost, usability, integration with inventory was the biggest draw
Switched From: IntraVet
Reasons for Switching to Covetrus Pulse: Wanted cloud based program, easier acess to information and more customization

"Great software and customer support!"

Overall: Very good, every time I call for customer support they are extremely helpful!

Pros: The ease of use. Finding medical records, inputting information, etc. is very easy.

Cons: Need more options for mass updating inventory/labs/services. Would work better if it was laid out like an editable spreadsheet. It is clunky to have to click edit on each item, edit, then save and close before moving on.

Alternatives Considered: ezvetpro
Reasons for Choosing Covetrus Pulse: The price of Pulse is lower than EZVet per month as well as the conversion price.
