Clinical Staff Pharmacist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect Office Messenger" April 26, 2018 5.0 Office communication is enhanced. Confidential information can be typed versus verbal communicated around patients. This works very well in our pharmacy where we have multiple rooms and we can refer back to the message for information. Pros This software does not take up much CPU or computer memory resources and works very well. Each computer is customized very easily to whom is using the terminal and messages can be stored for long term retrieval. Web links, file data file transfer links, the program fits our needs very well. Cons It would be nice to show pictures within the messenger but this is a low request. you can always send a link to the file or web location. I'm sure this prevents excessive resource utilization and helps with the logging of messages. Review Source DP DEBORAH P. CHIRO ASSISTANT Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This product is used inter office to be able to leave private messages while seeing patients. " August 8, 2017 5.0 ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITHOUT CALLING ANYONE Pros I like using this product instead of calling since patients can hear everything I say due to an open environment. Cons It is difficult to add or subtract people we have on the program so the actual setting up and changing is a little harder. Review Source TD Teri D. Hospital Administrator Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Softros LAN messenger" December 1, 2020 5.0 We really like this software for what our intended purpose is - to communicate between workstations in an office setting. It is easy to use and has no real issues. Pros Our IT company recommended Softros LAN messenger to solve our intra office communication dilemma. It worked great to be able to message between work stations. I liked that it was always "on" and couldn't really be accidentally closed and therefore leave people unavailable. Cons Since our IT company installed the software, I can't really comment on how easy that process was, but I do think that when we wanted to add a workstation, there was a new expense involved. I do think this software was somewhat limited in that it could not be used on cell phones to further expand our ability to communicate. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Pixel Pusher Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "It just works" July 30, 2018 5.0 We use this software in an escape room to allow our players to communicate with the Mad Scientist in the game. With no connection issues we have been able to make our gameplay rock solid. Pros We were using another LAN messenger app and it had constant connection issues. Softros has been rock solid with no connection issues. Cons This is paid software, but it really isn't expensive and ultimately you get what you pay for. Other than that I don't have any negatives and I wouldn't even call this a con. Review Source ES ED S. IT Manager Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software, Great Value!" August 14, 2018 5.0 Excellent. Works flawlessly. Easy to use. Pros Seamless install and functionality. Increased our productivity immediately. Cons I wish I had find it sooner, our old software was holding us back. Review Source Jennifer Y. Dental Administrator Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "No more running around the office!" March 29, 2019 5.0 Pros Softros has been a lifesaver when I have a patient in front of me and I need to communicate with staff in the back office. The messages are sent instantly and easy to read and write back. We are a busy office and can all keep each other updated and on the same page. It's a secure messenger software so we know our patient information is safe. Cons It does it's job! Nothing to complain about. Review Source SM Stephanie M. DVM/owner Veterinary Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I was introduced to this program at my old job. Liked it so much, I bought it for my business." April 28, 2018 5.0 I am able to communicate with my team without having to leave the exam room. Pros I like that when I receive a message, it makes a noise to get my attention & the window stays on top of the other screens I have open. I also like that the messages arrive at the destination FAST. Cons There really isn't anything that I \*don't\* like. I guess I could say that it is easy to accidentally close it out, but that's really on me & not the software. Review Source JR Jose R. Network Administrator Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Network Administrator" February 21, 2019 5.0 Pros New version supports Screen Sharing, better emoji selection and easy drag and drop file sharing. Cons Sound notifications. However, they can be easy turned off. Review Source PB Philip B. Owner/CEO Entertainment Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Softros LAN Messenger is "da bomb" - awesome LAN messaging with no hassles." July 30, 2018 5.0 Easy transfer of files and various information between the 2 PCs in my work environment. Pros Ease of installation, simple to use, great for my small business as I currently have 2 PCs in different rooms which often need to send various messages back and forth - Softros LAN Messenger makes this really simple, child's play. Cons Nothing so far - could maybe be slightly cheaper, but I was happy to pay to get the great features. Really, I don't think there's anything I could fault. Review Source JJ Jennifer J. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great! No issues." July 30, 2018 5.0 We are a small practice who used to frequently "yell" across the room to each other. Now we are able to be more professional and discreet. Pros I enjoy the ease of communicating with my team. I like being able to send a message without getting up from my desk. Cons That I have to buy a license for each computer that I want it installed on. I thought originally that the "per user" license meant how many people would be using it at one time, not how many computers would be needing to have it installed. Because of that, I had to purchase more licenses. Review Source RD RON D. DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We use it daily as an Inter office communication tool." February 21, 2018 5.0 instant communications with any employee... Pros Was very ease to set up on our network. Allows us to transfer files and IM with employees. You can also send a broadcast message. Review Source CB Cheryl B. Chief Administrative Officer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for inter-office quick communication" July 30, 2018 5.0 Easy and quick communication between our offices and the front desk Pros It was super easy to set up and use. We are a municipal office and our reception desk is able to send us a quick note if an Administrator is needed at the counter. We also use it to shoot quick notes back and forth between our offices. Cons We have just started to use the messenger and know that we have not utilized it to it's full potential. Right now there are no cons that we can think of. Review Source VC Valerie C. co owner Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "love it!" April 26, 2018 5.0 as previously stated...we liked it and used it daily Pros We are a tax service. Our office is small but we are extremely busy during tax season. Messenger is great for us, with a few short keystrokes we can talk to each other without getting up or picking up the phone. It's perfect for us! Cons having the list of users in my way at times, I wish I could reduce its size without putting it in the taskbar Review Source LS Lauren S. General Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We LOVE using this for our interoffice communications. It makes short exchanges so much easier!" July 30, 2018 5.0 Pros I find great value in that my employees can send me a message and not have to interrupt me in the office when I have people in my office or on the phone. It takes multi-tasking to a new level. Cons The only thing that I find slightly annoying is the constant flashing of the icon if the message goes unread. I understand why the feature is there but sometimes it drives me crazy. Review Source SB Scott B. President Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very easy to use" April 26, 2018 4.0 Pros The interface is very clean, simple and easy to use. Administration is easy. Initial setup was intuitive Cons I have cases where I need to send an file to a group of users. Currently I cannot do this. I need to send the attachment to each user individually Review Source Response from Softros Systems August 23, 2018 Dear Scott, please check our latest release v 9.2. We added the files transfer to multiple recipients. Thanks for your feedback! CR Candace R.

Cons I do not know if there is anything we do not like about the software. We are a small office so we have not run into any cons. Review Source FC Francis C.
