### "Customizable and affordable, with great support and continual improvements"

September 22, 2026

5.0

Overall, I've had a really good experience with Zanda. I like that it gives you a lot of flexibility and that you can set things up differently depending on how a practice works. It can take a little while to get familiar with everything because there are so many options, but I think that's part of what makes the system so useful. I've also had good experiences with their support team and really appreciate that they listen to user feedback and keep improving the platform.

Pros

What I like most about Zanda is that it brings a lot of the things you need to run a private practice into one place at a very reasonable price. I find the platform quite easy to navigate once you get used to it, and I really like how customizable it is. Their customer support is also really good, and I like that they genuinely seem to listen to their users. They have an Ideas portal where users can submit and vote on ideas, and I've actually had one of my own suggestions implemented recently. They also seem to implement improvements and new features fairly regularly, which I really appreciate. Another feature I really like is the session notes functionality. Zanda has an integrated AI note-taking feature that can use the session transcript to generate notes in the format the practitioner needs. I think it's particularly useful that this is built directly into the practice management system rather than requiring another separate tool. They also have a really good knowledge base, with lots of helpful videos and articles, and they've recently added an AI support feature on their website as well. It can answer questions using their knowledge base, which is really handy when you just need a quick answer.

Cons

I guess it can feel a little overwhelming at first to realize how many options and settings there are, but I actually think that's also one of Zanda's strengths. There are so many ways to customize the system to fit the way a practice works, so it just takes a little time to get familiar with everything that's available.

### "A software that compares to no other!"

September 22, 2026

5.0

My experience with Zanda has been very positive. As a psychology practice consultant, I work across multiple practices and regularly use Zanda to help owners improve their systems, streamline administration and create a better experience for their clients. I particularly appreciate the flexibility of the platform and the opportunities it provides to customise workflows to suit different practice needs. It's a system I genuinely enjoy working with, and I value the ongoing development of the platform and the support available to its users. For me, Zanda is a valuable tool for helping psychology and allied health practices build more efficient and sustainable operations.

Pros

As a psychology practice consultant, I work with Zanda across a number of practices and really appreciate how much functionality it brings together in one platform. I particularly value the ability to customise forms, automate client communications and build workflows that support a smoother experience for both clients and administration teams. It's a platform I enjoy working with because there are so many opportunities to refine existing processes and help practices get more out of their systems. It's scalable and future proofed. The team and support provided is great, and they are always coming out with cool new features to make the work easier.

Cons

One small limitation is that I can't apply multiple visual flags to a single appointment. More flexibility here would be helpful.

Reason for choosing Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

I work with several practice management systems across my consulting clients. I appreciate Zanda's flexibility, customisable forms and automated communications, which allow practices to tailor workflows to their individual needs. These are key reasons I recommend it when it's a good fit for a practice.

### "A Solid Platform That Keeps My Work Organized"

October 2, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with Zanda has been positive. It provides useful tools in one place and helps make day-to-day administrative work more manageable. Once familiar with the system, it is generally convenient and efficient to use.

Pros

Zanda is straightforward and easy to use. I especially appreciate how organized the platform feels and how efficiently I can complete routine tasks.

Cons

Some features could be more intuitive, and a few areas of the interface could be streamlined to reduce unnecessary steps.

### "A secure, reliable all-in-one solution for health practices"

September 23, 2026

5.0

We support a large number of allied health clinics across Australia, and Zanda is one of the practice management systems our team works in daily. It covers everything a busy practice needs without feeling bloated, and it's one we're always happy to see when a new client comes on board (and the first one we recommmend when a client is looking to switch!). Their commitment to meeting the highest security standards, and their genuine, reliable, multi-channel customer service really sets them apart. We provide admin support to approx. 90 clinics around Australia, so we have plenty of experience working with allied health practices. Zanda really is the best PMS on the market.

Pros

The system is intuitive and the training material is extremely thorough, so the learning curve is easy for scheduling, appointment management and all other practice-related day-to-day tasks, which makes it simple to train new team members. Data security is something our clients take very seriously, and Zanda's high security standards ensure that their sensitive client information is being handled properly. Another major pro for us is how quickly they respond to feedback and the effort they go to resolve issues and thoroughly explain their reasoning. Their customer service is outstanding! What Zanda offers is great value for money, which is why it's our preferred system to recommend to clients operating practices of all sizes, all around Australia.

Cons

Scorable screens and questionnaires took quite a while to become available, which was a gap for many of the psychology and allied health practices we support. We also found it frustrating early on that there was no way to integrate AI tools into the system, especially as more clinics started looking for ways to streamline note-taking and admin. Credit where it's due, though: both of these things have now been rectified, and it's been great to see Zanda listen to feedback and keep evolving the platform.

### "Horrible-Use at your own risk!"

September 29, 2026

1.0

HORRIBLE!! The support is terrible. I just had a scheduled meeting with \[sensitive content hidden\] at 1:40 discuss issues with the product...she didn't even show up. I emailed her and no response. I emailed their support and no response. The system is a bit sketchy somethings are ok and others not so much. The signature is way too large and the font is unprofessional-you also cannot modify it-you can only type in your name and the system generates this large outrageous looking signature. It looks ridiculous on assessments and notes-to the point it's embarrassing. You also have limited control over patient assignment. You will literally have to assign your providers to all patients in order for them to view all contents of their assigned patient file. I definitely would NOT recommend. We just switched to Zanda and it was the worst decision ever! in a few months I plan to move to a more stable platform with better customer service. Use at your own risk.

Pros

The AI chatbox is helpful for when you need quick tutorial access. Their text feature is also convenient as it will allow you to chat with patients in real time.

Cons

The system is outdated and the support is awful. It looks like it was never made to be an actual EHR but made to one. It has potential but requires programmers who are familiar with medical/behavioral health offices and platforms

Switched from

[PracticeQ](https://www.capterra.com/p/10013530/PracticeQ/)

They would mix patient charts from other practices using the platform-a patient noticed her profile had an image ( none of our profiles have images)-we contacted PracticeQ and they admitted to the glitch..there were also serious issues with their billing platform-NPI numbers would be mix-matched with providers and information would not route to the clearinghouse correctly-they took 0 accountability-although the clearinghouse provided evidence of them being at fault.

February 23, 2026

My experience with Zanda was overly complex at first especially when it has was my first time using this product, but with time it was easy although I still feel they product should improve in speed and performance.

Pros

The aspects that it helps health records and medicals scheduling, patient records, and health tech records such such clinical notes and secure storage of data.

Cons

It occasionally slow at times and lags while loading data. It's has complex interface find it hard at first.

### "Zanda ticks all the boxes✅"

September 29, 2026

5.0

I have been using Zanda for almost five years. I use it daily for multiple allied health practices. I find Zanda's functionality makes the day to day running of busy practices efficient and reliable. I love how Zanda continues to make improvements and is continuously evolving to make the platform more intuitive and simple to navigate.

Pros

I love that everything is in one place. From diary management, online portal, invoicing, reports, online forms, file storage, automations and communication. Zanda provides everything you need to manage your practice!

Cons

Sometimes, the 'cosmetic' changes throw me a little, but Im the first to admit, I fear change... LOL

### "When it works, it's great. When it doesn't, it's a disaster, and the service is even worse. "

January 6, 2026

1.0

See above, pretty well sums it up. When the software is working it's fantastic. When it doesn't, it's like pulling teeth to be heard or seen by the developers, while they treat you like a junior staff member in their office because they're too lazy to do anything for themselves. It's actually disgusting.

Pros

This software does almost everything one could need from clinic software. There's not much left wanting, except the ability to manage and track batch numbers on herbal products.

Cons

When it works its great. When it doesn't work, there's a very poorly designed chatbot to deal with which will happily allow you to do all the tech's trouble shooting for them, collating screenshots and version numbers and error codes, followed by a quick message to send all that separately via an email (after you've done the work, not before, as if you don't have enough to do when you're clinic software isn't working). Then, you'll wait 1-2 hours to get a human who will take you through all the troubleshooting steps (again) that the chat bot did. Lo and behold, nothing changes, you continue pushing through because, imagine you have a business to run using the software which is presently not working until bang.. it magically works again, while the support staff tell you they didn't do anything, so it must be all in your head. This is despite the error logs of your browser, which you never even knew existed prior to becoming Zanda's trouble shooting staff by proxy (with well under market rate compensation mind you, IE ZERO), showing an issue which a simple Google search demonstrates is on the developer (ie ZANDA's) end, not your computer.

### "Highly Recommended for Client Bookings"

October 2, 2026

5.0

Pros

I’ve been using Zanda for a number of years and have always been very impressed with both the platform and the level of support. The online booking system is reliable, easy to use, and my clients have never had any difficulty making appointments. The diary itself is excellent and makes managing my availability very straightforward. What I appreciate most is the support from the Zanda team. Whenever I’ve needed help, the response has been quick, professional and seamless. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble. I especially value being able to have a Zoom session with someone from the team to make changes or sort out any issues directly. Zanda has been a very dependable part of my practice, and I’m more than happy to recommend them. Sincerely, Simon Riley (I’m happy for my name to be used in full).

### "Excellent system, wished I'd starting using it years ago!"

September 29, 2026

5.0

Overall it has been extremely positive - highly recommend it. Very helpful customer service agents, amazing functionality and I only use the basics currently. I've recently been offered a 1-hour Zoom session to review my usage and make sure I get what I need from it - just excellent and good value for money too.

Pros

It is an excellent system that saves me so much time, especially for organising client bookings and scheduling and it is the best move I ever made. Their customer service is excellent. If I have any queries or need some training they respond very quickly. The AI helper bot Busy Bee is very helpful too. Their customer service assistance is second to none. The Xero compatibility is superb and also saves a lot of administrative time.

Cons

One issue that I accidentally caused involved Xero having to work with Xanda to resolve it, and it took too long to resolve. A solution was finally found, I was compensated, and I'm now 100% happy with the system once again.

### "Initial Impressions - New Private Practice"

October 11, 2026

3.0

Overall, the learning curve has been steep (and often frustrating - I changed my email address and business name shortly into the trial period, and found that these had to be altered manually in more than 60 places!) - but ultimately, I feel it will support most of what I require. Moreover, their customer support have have been prompt, helpful and friendly!

Pros

It's a powerful platform with significant flexibility, particularly with regard to Template Building and automation of messaging, etc.

Cons

Finding some limitations now that I'm setting up online bookings, but most importantly the online payments/refunds. Supports only Stripe (which is a relatively expensive payment platform and refunds are a two-step manual process unfortunately - which leaves room for rather important errors/omissions). Hopefully the refund situation in particular will consider modifying this important weakness.

### "Zanda experience "

September 22, 2026

5.0

Pros

Zanda has been one of the most useful tools for my practice. The user interface is very easy to navigate both for providers and patients. The online booking is very straightforward. It has also made documentation very easy and efficient. You get a lot of value for your money and most importantly, it’s got the highest level of security so you can rest assured that your patient data is secure. I would recommend Zanda to anybody that has a private practice.

Cons

Zanda has good resources for EMR set up. However, a standard 1:1 onboarding and EMR set up time period with a team member would be beneficial.

October 8, 2026

Pros

I find Zanda to be user-friendly and I love the ease of scheduling appointments, sending appointment form emails and invoices and keeping track of payments. It is the right price for a single practitioner business and I was able to learn the system quickly.

Cons

Sometimes there are a few more clicks than I'd prefer, for example to toggle between client invoices when I'm reviewing unpaid invoices.

I have continually been amazed and thrilled on discovering what Zanda is able to do and the simple and efficient way that I have been able to use so many features.

Pros

Zanda has proven to be user friendly, affordable, intuitive and so much better than any expectation had for it.

### "Best-of-breed"

November 28, 2024

5.0

I have used half a dozen other practice management systems. This is the easiest and meets my needs best.

Pros

The user interface is intuitive and usable. I can visualise my progress notes for previous consultations easily by scrolling down. Notes autosave as drafts, which is great. The calendar integrates with my phone, so I can see multiple calendars simultaneously. I can build customised templates with autofill fields easily. It integrates with sms, email, and Telehealth.

Cons

The calendar integration sometimes takes time to synchronise changes to bookings. The letter/report templates don’t autosave and sometimes I have lost work. It can be tricky to attach documents to emails. The practitioner permissions don’t allow me to make changes to my roster.

Pros

The billing and reconciliation features save me hours every month, and also help prevent errors in tracking payments. My setup is so much more professional, thanks to PD.

Cons

Some of the scheduling setup is a bit clunky, and could be updated to be more intuitive. Particularly annoying is the I have to correct the session end time even when I have selected a service which its e.g. 50 minutes.

Overall Power Diary is meeting the needs of our business however we have had to make a large number of changes to our processes and way of working with our clients to accommodate Power Diary. There are a number of functionalities that we would like to see.

Pros

\- Visually appealing - Ability to produce multiple reports - Simple and easy to use calendar and client set up - Client online booking portal - Medicare processing - Data consistancy

Cons

\- Limited functions available on the calendar - cannot view single day of the week for multiple weeks - Unable to limit who access notes and profile information - anyone with can access client notes and view client profiles regardless if the client is allocated to them or not - Unable to create an overall number of sessions used in a session pack per year - this is still tracked manually

### "Not too bad, with potential"

March 30, 2020

3.0

Overall it isn't too bad, Notes are quite good. And staff are good. However, it does remain a very restrictive platform with multiple irritating imperfections. They are keen to listen and let you know they are making changes, but the role out is extremely slow and slightly disappointing following the long wait. They have the potential to be very good if they implemented the changes they say they would do, but sometimes get they feel they are complacent with their product.

Pros

Support is good in that staff to try their best to help quickly with the availability they have. Have some good features e.g notes. It can be a cheaper option if you avoid using SMS. (This is where they make up the difference.)

Cons

They take a very long time to implement changes, yet they can implement changes fast if need to such as adding telehealth during COVID 19 in a week (if they didn't they would have lost business). They discussed intake forms since I started a year ago (and has been a popular demand by many users) and still just talk of it happening, yet keep you hooked by saying coming in a few months. They make their money on SMS so be careful , never known SMS to be so expensive. They recently did a user interface facelift with new features. It is still quite dated compared to competitors and you're restricted to what you can do. They could do with a graphics designer or ergonomic designer on their team.

Reason for choosing Zanda (formerly Power Diary)

All in one CRM system and at the time they were ahead in the development of clinic notes compared to cliniko and acuity. Although they appear to have excelled in the development whilst power diary dither in and out of complacency. Maybe lasts years action plans focus was on marketing this year, I remain hopeful:)

Thanks John. The Online Forms have taken longer than initially anticipated, but I can assure you it has nothing to do with complacency - in fact quite the opposite. Our online forms are built on our Client Portal platform. During dev we identified there were some emerging limitations with the technology we had been using for the Client Portal. We decided that instead of building another feature on top of it, we should instead rebuild the Client Portal first using more flexibility technology, and then build the Online Forms using that. It's a 'get the foundations right first' type decision. Whilst not glamorous, this approach has ongoing, long-term benefits for all our users. The Client Portal has now been rebuilt and released, and the Online Forms function is in final stages of pre-Beta testing. Re SMS: these are middle-range for pricing. We use an enterprise-grade gateway that is very reliable. There are some cheaper, less reliable providers but we will never use them.

### "Power Diary: Customizable and Affordable, the complete package"

December 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

I love that I was able to completely customize my notes to how I practice, and there are many more customizable features that I will continue to integrate to make running and managing my chiropractic practice easier and more efficient. The customer service to get me going quickly and answer questions I have has been outstanding. Power Diary is the complete package, a great practice management product with great customer support and affordable too!

Cons

I can't really think of any negatives about Power Diary other than maybe that it has so many features that I felt a little overwhelmed to start. But that's to be expected when new to any program. A Power Diary representative was able to help me get going quickly.

Power Diary was more affordable and offered many more features and was more customizable.
