Perfect Office Messenger

Office communication is enhanced. Confidential information can be typed versus verbal communicated around patients. This works very well in our pharmacy where we have multiple rooms and we can refer back to the message for information.

Pros:

This software does not take up much CPU or computer memory resources and works very well. Each computer is customized very easily to whom is using the terminal and messages can be stored for long term retrieval. Web links, file data file transfer links, the program fits our needs very well.

Cons:

It would be nice to show pictures within the messenger but this is a low request. you can always send a link to the file or web location. I'm sure this prevents excessive resource utilization and helps with the logging of messages.

Pros:

I like using this product instead of calling since patients can hear everything I say due to an open environment.

Cons:

It is difficult to add or subtract people we have on the program so the actual setting up and changing is a little harder.

Softros LAN messenger

We really like this software for what our intended purpose is - to communicate between workstations in an office setting. It is easy to use and has no real issues.

Ratings Breakdown

Functionality

Pros:

Our IT company recommended Softros LAN messenger to solve our intra office communication dilemma. It worked great to be able to message between work stations. I liked that it was always "on" and couldn't really be accidentally closed and therefore leave people unavailable.

Cons:

Since our IT company installed the software, I can't really comment on how easy that process was, but I do think that when we wanted to add a workstation, there was a new expense involved. I do think this software was somewhat limited in that it could not be used on cell phones to further expand our ability to communicate.

It just works

We use this software in an escape room to allow our players to communicate with the Mad Scientist in the game. With no connection issues we have been able to make our gameplay rock solid.

Pros:

We were using another LAN messenger app and it had constant connection issues. Softros has been rock solid with no connection issues.

Cons:

This is paid software, but it really isn't expensive and ultimately you get what you pay for. Other than that I don't have any negatives and I wouldn't even call this a con.

Pros:

Softros has been a lifesaver when I have a patient in front of me and I need to communicate with staff in the back office. The messages are sent instantly and easy to read and write back. We are a busy office and can all keep each other updated and on the same page. It's a secure messenger software so we know our patient information is safe.

Cons:

It does it's job! Nothing to complain about.

Pros:

I like that when I receive a message, it makes a noise to get my attention & the window stays on top of the other screens I have open. I also like that the messages arrive at the destination FAST.

Cons:

There really isn't anything that I *don't* like. I guess I could say that it is easy to accidentally close it out, but that's really on me & not the software.

Pros:

Ease of installation, simple to use, great for my small business as I currently have 2 PCs in different rooms which often need to send various messages back and forth - Softros LAN Messenger makes this really simple, child's play.

Cons:

Nothing so far - could maybe be slightly cheaper, but I was happy to pay to get the great features. Really, I don't think there's anything I could fault.

Great! No issues.

We are a small practice who used to frequently "yell" across the room to each other. Now we are able to be more professional and discreet.

Pros:

I enjoy the ease of communicating with my team. I like being able to send a message without getting up from my desk.

Cons:

That I have to buy a license for each computer that I want it installed on. I thought originally that the "per user" license meant how many people would be using it at one time, not how many computers would be needing to have it installed. Because of that, I had to purchase more licenses.
