March 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

it makes it easier to interface with other lab , easy to check on patient results to look at and print it and if need faxing it is done.

Cons

when we enter patient and tests you have to accept it and save and print labels , then you have to go back in the same label number in order to print requisition.

Overall, it's been a pleasure working with Avalon. The team has great turnaround time when we reach out about issues or new things we want to add to our system.

Pros

Avalon is solid LIS software and comparable to most. However, the CSS support team puts Avalon ahead of the rest in my book. The team goes above and beyond to make things work for us. We go through a lot of changes as an organization and CSS has been very helpful in assisting us throughout those changes. I like the fact the support team is US based and are very attentive to our needs as a customer. The team is highly knowledge and are very good at following through. \[sensitive content hidden\] are all amazing to work with.

Cons

The system was a bit slow before, with few glitches here and there but that's greatly improved since we've migrated to the cloud environment.

Reason for choosing Avalon Laboratory System

Avalon was a different price point compared to the others and as a new lab Avalon made more sense for us.

CSS with Avalon has been a great and responsive partner. There have been no major issues to speak of.

Pros

Ability to customize the system to meet the needs of the Laboratory. CSS and Avalon were very flexible.

Cons

Some elements of setup were initially confusing but support by CSS was great and the Lab was able to work through the issues. For example: generating responses on reports with complex toxicology.

### "Avalon LIS Review"

April 23, 2025

5.0

I have had a positive experience with Avalon and their team members. Our business needs have always been met.

Pros

The Avalon LIS is very user friendly. The customer service that comes along with the LIS is outstanding.

Cons

I wish there were more reporting features and a more indepth manual that explains every feature the LIS has to offer.

### "Avalon Gets The Job Done"

February 21, 2022

5.0

From receiving specimens in the lab, tracking them, running them, resulting them and transmitting those results successfully to our practices; it's just what we need to get the job done. Avalon has helped us maintain and grow our patient care, as well as our business.

Pros

I think some of the biggest pros with this software is the ease of Order Entry/Patient Building, the simplicity of Test Building/Practice Building/Doctor Building (Configuration), the fast setup of Instrument/EMR Interfaces, and lastly, the customer service at CSS is unparalleled. The foundation of the LIS can be customized to the customers liking and you will always get an intelligent, thoughtful person on the phone to fix any issue that may arise (Not many to speak of).

Cons

The cons are few, especially for the price point. But I would say that a Live Pending List would be very beneficial to all Clients. Database Reports could be more presentable. Loading Time to get from the AppStream to the actual Avalon App Login Screen is a bit slow.

### "Lab Software that fits our business"

June 9, 2020

5.0

I am very happy with Avalon and their staff. They are incredibly responsive to our needs and have helped us solve some issues with 3rd party software that Avalon wasn't responsible for creating.

Pros

Avalon LIS is intuitive and easy to learn to use for my lab staff. We were up and running within 2 days of implementing the software. It is very easy to connect Avalon to our analyzers so that results can be easily transferred to our LIMS which saves a lot of time.

Cons

The standard reports are not as robust as they could be so if I want a specific report, I go through Avalon's customer service. The turnaround time is quick, but I would like to be able to run reports myself.

Reason for choosing Avalon Laboratory System

Speed of implementation and responsiveness to our questions.

Pros

QC (LJ charts) have been GREATLY improved. Phone service reps are helpful and respectful. Personal service

Cons

\-Some things are quite slow: accepting reference lab info, searching for reports ready to transmit -Sometimes when we are approving orders it is not able to process all the orders we accept and we need to do them again. -Some history reports are not available (orders sent to reference labs) -Does not accept subscriber info from our clients' EMR software interface -Double prompt for sample label printing (started with a revision in Aug 2016 and never resolved) -Unable to delete insurance codes created and not used/duplicates

### "Excellent Service!"

May 4, 2020

5.0

Its been a great experience and service! When we have called and requested product modifications, they have been extremely helpful and and expedited all our requests.

Pros

Its very user friendly, anyone can learn this software. When I began to first use it, within a few hours I was toying around with a lot of different applications on the interface. Its that easy.

Cons

If I could say anything that could maybe be improved is the time of services provided. For the weekends, the service is available for emergencies only.

Reason for choosing Avalon Laboratory System

It was cost effective and web based, it was a no brainer.

### "The Avalon Laboratory system has been nothing short of amazing. Its easy to use and comprehensive. "

March 9, 2018

5.0

The biggest benefit we get from the software is the ability to easily integrate with all of our providers and 3rd party vendors. We also love the fact that the software can provide management and sales reports.

Pros

What I like most is how easy the software is to use. From a management stand point down to the techs, everyone enjoys the Avalon software because of its comprehensive functionality and overall reporting features. The customer support staff goes above and beyond to make changes to our software if needed. They did a great job training our staff and continue to educate us on any changes or upgrades to the system.

Our EMR did not support an API interface for molecular data analysis, which is why we had to purchase an LIS.

Pros

Cons
