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

IDEXX Cornerstone

  • The system runs on a server in the building, so the practice pays for hardware, backups and an IT provider, costs that never appear in a comparison against browser based competitors.
  • It is Windows only with no meaningful mobile access, which rules it out for house call and ambulatory work and leaves staff tied to workstations.
  • The interface is dense and dated, so training a new receptionist or technician takes materially longer than on newer systems.
  • Commercial gravity runs towards IDEXX diagnostics, and a practice that later moves its laboratory work to a competitor loses the automation that justified the software.
  • IDEXX is directing new customers towards its cloud products, so investment in Cornerstone is maintenance oriented and buyers should assume a migration conversation within the life of the purchase.
