Where each one falls short

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

Planet DDS

  • Planet DDS publishes no price for any of its products; the site directs buyers to a sales phone number or a demo request
  • Practice management, imaging, orthodontics and payments are separate products, Denticon, Apteryx, Cloud 9 and Planet DDS Pay, rather than one licence
  • Planet DDS Pay is stated to be designed for Cloud 9 and Denticon, so the payments option is tied to those products

DEXIS Imaging Suite
