I used Avimark for 9 years and would recommend to anyone. I have used other products and Avimark is what I liked most.

Pros

Easy to use and record management. Avimark has great features to train your new staff. Avimark is great to manage your pet hospital, you can customize it according to your needs. It makes it easy to track pet's records.

Cons

I don't think there is anything I would change about Avimark. I Everything was great, there are times it was a lack of training from our staff when we had issues.

Very easy to learn, simple yet functional, extremely customizable. I think this is the best veterinary software on the market. We are paper-light and utilize EMRs, which are very easy to use in Avimark. I will continue to use this program for the life of my practice.

Pros

I absolutely love Avimark for my veterinary clinic. I feel that a server-based system is more secure than a cloud-based system. I love the fact that once I purchase this system, I own the software and can continue to use it without paying a monthly fee other than for Avimark support. The customer support has always been absolutely phenomenal and efficient. The program has so many different customizable functions. I also love that when our internet goes out, I still have access to all of my medical records.

Cons

Every once in a while, there will be a glitch that occurs with an upgrade. I honestly think that's my only dislike.

It has been a very good fit for our practice overall, well worth the money, with great customer service for any problems that do arise. Allows for efficient and easy training for new staff.

Pros

It has been greatly utilized for scheduling and inventory management. Having the patient full records easily accessible makes knowing their history effortless.

Cons

Data analysis for specific things is a little complicated. It would be nice if we could do an easy search for all the customers phone number fields instead of just the main one.

It was much more user friendly than Cornerstone. However, it was outdated. The icons were not self explanatory so it was constantly a search to find the right function.

Pros

Being able to search under “who got” to find patients we couldn’t remember the name or file information but we remembered what they went home with.

Cons

How the boarding schedule worked. The format was not very updated and when we did heavy amounts of boarding the schedule was a mess.

It was a good product for awhile, but ultimately couldn’t compare to other cloud based PIMS as our practice grew.

Pros

I liked its simplicity the most although that’s one of the reasons we also made the switch to a more robust PIMS.

Cons

It did not have the vast options or integrations that other softwares had at the time. It wasn’t cloud based so it would take too long to restore and come back.
