Easy to use and adaptable to your organization's needs. Pros Working in a government hospital, Been using this software 5 years now and this APEX LIS became our bestfriend in our workplace. It is very helpful especially when you are in health care industry. From order entry, specimen storage, data security and more. Files are safe and secure. Cons It is confusing at first.

We selected Apex Healthware and have been very pleased with both the performance of the software as well as the professional and pleasant manner of the support services. Pros The best things about the software are ease of use, reliability and adaptability to our needs. Cons Can think of nothing that we are not happy with.

Manager Hospital & Health Care ### "Good software" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 2, 2019 We have been working with APEX for over 5 years and we have never had a major issue. They have created multiple interfaces for our laboratory and it has always been done relatively quickly. When there is a delay in my experience it is the other party that is slowing the projects down. Pros I like the team behind Apex a lot. They are responsive to requests, and try to accommodate us without nickel and diming. Cons The biggest shortcoming of the software for us is that there is no easy way to enter manual tests results from worksheets.

DD David D. Director of IT Medical Practice ### "Great Support Behind The Product" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 20, 2019 When I was brought on as the IT Director, this app was the biggest open issue. After doing some testing I found that our ISP latency response time was extremely high thus being the underlying issue with the app communicating with our cloud server. Called and had a discussion with Oscar, we had a test console deployed into our Citrix environment that evening and began testing the next day. Console ran like a champ and my staff couldn't be more thankful! Pros For the price it's really hard to beat. Anytime we have any issue we are able to get a tech on the phone and get the issue resolved in a timely manner. Cons Sometimes devices stop communicating and the system needs to be rebooted. We've put in a process to simply reboot the workstation every evening and this seems to have minimized this issue.

We are able to serve our patients faster and efficiently. Pros It is user-friendly and easy to learn after it is initially set up by the expert staff at Apex support. We have worked with them to centralize the use across multiple facilities and successfully integrated with our EMR software. Results transfer to our EMR seamlessly. Cons Sometimes communications to the devices break but Apex support has set up a robust recovery process.

Lab Manager Medical Practice ### "Apex for your POL LIS" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 29, 2019 An LIS in the POL results in more timely results without transcription errors. However, most LIS are designed for large hospitals and are so expensive that the average POL cannot even consider the cost of installing one. Apex has changed that. I am the Lab Manager in a POL with 8 providers performing over 100,000 labs on an annual basis, and I must say that this was our best purchase ever! As a plus, the customer support has been very timely and personable. Pros The Apex LIS is perfect for the Physician Office Lab. Not only does it provide all the features needed, but, unlike most of its competitors, its is very affordable! Cons I honestly do not have anything negative to say about the Apex system.

Lab Supervisor Medical Practice ### "This software is garbage" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 November 28, 2018 No one ever teaches you really to use it. It works, but you will hate it because there is a lack of necessary functions. Looks like a kindergartner made it. HATE IT. HATE IT. HATE IT. Pros It stores your data. Crashes all the time. Not many things I like about the software. Cons There are a lot of bugs and the software team wants nothing to do with you. Customer service is terrible. They totally ignore you. If a data transfer error occurs features don't help you remedy the problem. Once we had to manually delete 1000s of accidental files. I remember asking to try the software before we bought it and they basically told me that wasn't possible....

Response from Vendor April 30, 2019 Hi Mr Ealy just read your review and am mortified. With 100s of clients occasionally one falls thru the cracks. My apologies as founder of Apex i will make sure this is corrected quickly. What can i do to make this right for you?
