Pros it's easy to use and it can do wonders if you use it to the max. and to its potential in addition to their products. Cons when there is an error and they can't figure it out why or and upgrade and can't be upgrade. Or when you have codes that can't be overload.

RE Reviewer Director, Medical Staff Services Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Not what we expected." 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 May 23, 2019 Upper management talks the talk, but are not good with follow through. Pros Trainers are good and so is support, but the initial build of the system and clean up from conversion is the client's responsibility - very time consuming. Cons \-LEMM (web crawler) only works for MD/DO state licensure boards, it will not perform web crawls for DPM, DDS, etc. Also, the LEMM "bucket" (after it has performed a webcrawl and results sent back) has to be cleaned out daily. It's like having another email inbox to manage, and saving the results to the system for each individual provider. Very time consuming. -OIG/SAM query - you can do a monthly sweep of the entire medical staff, but it will not provide a report to show evidence of completion. -Mass uploads - when large groups renew malpractice insurance, you can only do a mass update to change the expiration date, you cannot mass upload the certificate of insurance (COI) to each provider in the group. It's a manual process to save the COI to each practitioner's file. -Uploading documents - what symplr refers to as images - you can click on a PDF file from your computer and drag it over into the system, but you cannot click/drag/drop a PDF from an email attachment. You have to save the email attachment to your computer, then click/drag/drop. Extra step. -Primary Source Verification - you can go to various Board, NPI, etc. websites and the system will create a PDF to be saved to a practitioners file; however, this feature will not work for AMA/AOIA website. Same extra step as above. -Letters -have to create your own letters and forms (affiliation, peer reference) within the system-functionality is the same as Microsoft Word, but it's not Word-very cumbersome.

I don't have much experience with other programs but what I have experienced I am impressed and am fairly happy. even with the cons I listed, I would and do plan to stay with this program. Pros Makes tracking Privilege dates, license expirations....a snap.... easy to pull reports and fairly easy to input. Cons we switched from Visual Cactus to web based Cactus and the transition has not been very smooth. most of the bugs have been worked out but not all. it would have been best if Cactus/Symplr had worked all the bugs out ahead of implementing the new product.

Cons Customer services has been awful and we have been sold a product that for the last 5 months has not done what we were promised and we just keep getting the run around and excuse after excuse. Always someone elses fault or another department or have to get the correct people on the call even though every week we are told the same thing. I understand the first couple of calls but when you tell me that you are going to get the correct people on the next call that is what I expect not to have to be told the same thing again and again after spending the time and money our facility has.

Pros I prefer the ease and esthetics of Visual Cactus over the more challenging and unappealing web-based Cactus. Cons The web-based Cactus is not as user-friendly as Visual Cactus. Also, it does not interface with my organization's other programs. \*\*This review is based on my time at the Corporate level. I have recently started with the managed care business unit, therefore my Cactus experience here is limited.
