Planmeca Romexis

Great Software

Kommentare: Romexis has great local support here.

Vorteile:

Romexis is easy to used, widely known, and the support is great.

Nachteile:

One thing I wished were possible, were free updates. The software you buy doesn't auto update with new features.

Since the recent update Romexis has been annoying and frustrating to use!!!

Kommentare: Frustrating, annoying and poor value. The Romexis software update doesn't take into consideration my time as a doctor or place any trust in the honor system. Instead of charging per doctor (a set fee) they charge a license for every screen you view radiographs on and now I have to guess where it's been left open after someone has taken an xray.

Vorteile:

We have been using Romexis to view digital radiographs and CBCT's for the past five years and really liked how well it worked. I have at most two doctors using Romexis at any given time so we always had two licenses which worked well. When I was finished treating a patient I could go to my office and write the letter and review other cases on Romexis. Then I could go to a new treatment room and bring up Romexis to see the next patients radiographs.

Nachteile:

Since the recent 2020 update we can literally only view radiographs on two screens at any given time. I generally have periapicals on one screen and CBCT slices on another (so that uses up my two licenses). With the software update, with my two Romexis screens up in the treatment room, my receptionist can no longer upload radiographs to Romexis (because the two licenses are currently "in use") and my other RDA cannot see a second patient to take xrays unless I close one of my screens (not user friendly anymore). It is clearly a money grab and I end up running around closing Romexis software between rooms or trying to figure out where Romexis has been left open. I would NOT recommend this software unless you have lots of money and can afford to buy a license (which takes 2-3 weeks to get from time of order) for every single screen you intend to view radiographs on. Get something else.

Planmill, scanner and design software

Kommentare: Not great, would highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Vorteile:

The scanner is in color which is nice, however the scan quality is less than ideal.

Nachteile:

Supposed to be known for their support and ease of use but we strongly recommend looking elsewhere. We purchased their mill, scanner, and laptop all in one and the mill breaks down at least once a day, my staff spends hours every week waiting on hold for support who never actually fix any of the issues. And even when it does work, the quality is still not optimal which is very unfortunate.

Great Imaging Software

Vorteile:

The software is great for all imaging needs. We are a dental office, and we use this software hourly to acquire, review and diagnosis. We mainly use it for CBCT images, but soon we plan to upgrade to their more robust version that can hold all of our images in one place. Essentially they are to be our one-stop image solution for our Dentrix based office. The customer support is hard to beat. Any time I have some issue, I can call them up and they are quick to help me resolve the issue. I like how fast they respond to things.

Nachteile:

I don't like the training ramp up period. It is a great software, but there is a bit of learning needed. It is not completely intuitive where someone without any training can just get on it and make it work.

Dental Xray software

Kommentare: Overall, I like using Romexis. The Planmeca images are always great, so I will continue to use the software.

Vorteile:

Planmeca is a good software for capturing xrays and viewing them. The tools to adjust the images work great to allow better visualization.

Nachteile:

When exporting a set of images, the images are exported as individuals which becomes time consuming when transferring to another office. When viewing a set of images, I have not been able to figure out how to easily go directly from one image to the next. I have had to close the current image, then find the next image and open it. It would be nice to have a feature to allow for easy scrolling through images in a series.
