Where each one falls short

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

ImproMed

  • It is a server-based Windows product, so the practice owns the hardware, the SQL database, the patching and the backup regime, and those costs never appear in the software quotation.
  • Covetrus markets Pulse as its strategic cloud platform while holding three legacy practice management systems, so ask directly what development ImproMed still receives and get the support commitment and end-of-life notice period in writing.
  • Remote and mobile access is weak compared with cloud systems, which matters for on-call work, home record review and multi-site groups sharing patients.
  • The interface is dense and dated, and training a new receptionist or technician on it takes materially longer than on a modern cloud system.
  • If Covetrus does steer customers to Pulse, the migration is a full data conversion with retraining, so the cost of the eventual move should be priced into the decision now rather than later.

Jane App

  • Balance plan severely limited to 20 appointments per month
  • Additional practitioner costs vary based on full-time vs. part-time hours

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

ImproMed: Is ImproMed still being developed?

Ask Covetrus for a release history and a written support commitment. Pulse is the stated strategic cloud product, and ImproMed, AVImark and RxWorks are all legacy systems in the same portfolio.

Jane App: How much does it cost to add practitioners to Jane App?

For Practice and Thrive plans, additional practitioners cost based on hours worked: full-time (24+ hours/week) practitioners have one rate, while part-time (<24 hours/week) practitioners have a reduced rate. Administrative staff without booked appointments are provided at no charge.

Source
ImproMed: Can it run in the cloud?

It is designed for an on-premise server. Hosting it on a remote desktop service is possible but it is not a native cloud application and does not behave like one.

Jane App: Do clinics with many practitioners get discounts on Jane App?

Yes, clinics with 10 or more practitioners may qualify for discounted rates on Jane App.

Source
ImproMed: What is it better at than cloud alternatives?

Inventory control and financial and production reporting. Practices with high stock value and several veterinary surgeons are the ones that notice the difference.

Jane App: Is AI Scribe available as an add-on on all Jane App plans?

Yes, AI Scribe is available as an optional add-on across all plans at $15/month per practitioner, or 5 free notes monthly.

Source
ImproMed: What happens to my data if we move to Pulse?

A conversion project. Establish before signing what Covetrus will convert, what it will not, and who pays for it.
