Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Apteryx

  • Apteryx is now sold as the cloud imaging product inside the Planet DDS portfolio rather than as a standalone vendor
  • No price is published for Apteryx cloud imaging; Planet DDS routes all pricing enquiries to sales or a demo request
  • Practice management is a separate purchase, Denticon or Cloud 9, so imaging alone does not cover charting and billing

Software of Excellence

  • No price is published for EXACT or any Software of Excellence product; the site carries no rate card and routes enquiries to the vendor
  • The company now operates under Henry Schein One, with the site copyright and contact email pointing to Henry Schein One rather than Software of Excellence
  • Cloud access, patient portal and marketing capability come from separate products such as MyPractice Cloud, Patient Portal and Campaign+ rather than being part of the core system
  • The original softwareofexcellence.co.uk domain now redirects to softwareofexcellence.com
