Where each one falls short

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

ezyVet

  • Initial 6-month contract required
  • Implementation and data conversion services cost extra and are scoped separately
  • Setup costs vary based on clinic size and data structure
  • Renewal terms are 3-month rolling after initial commitment

Hippo Manager

  • Pricing is per user, so a practice with a rota of part-time technicians and relief veterinarians pays full seats for people who log in a few times a month.
  • Inpatient and treatment sheet workflows are lighter than in systems built for referral and emergency hospitals, which pushes overnight care onto paper.
  • The integration catalogue is short relative to the larger cloud platforms, so a practice with an existing imaging, communications or payment preference may find no connector.
  • Multi-location reporting is basic, which limits its usefulness to a group beyond a handful of sites that wants consolidated production figures.
  • As a browser only system it stops when the internet does, and a practice without a backup connection loses records, scheduling and invoicing at the same time.
