### A Pleasant and Forward-Thinking Experience with SOTA Cloud

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Qin L.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Hospital & Health Care
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: April 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, our experience with SOTA Cloud has been very pleasant. The platform continues to evolve in a thoughtful and forward-looking way, with noticeable improvements that support both efficiency and clinical confidence. It feels modern, reliable, and aligned with the needs of a fast-paced practice. As new features and partnerships are introduced, it’s clear there’s a strong commitment to innovation and user experience, which makes working within the system both smooth and enjoyable.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

What we appreciate most about SOTA Cloud right now is the clear evolution toward a more advanced, intelligent platform that truly supports modern clinical workflows. The addition of the CBCT feature is a major highlight, as it allows for more streamlined imaging integration and enhances our ability to review and interpret cases efficiently within one ecosystem. It’s a meaningful step toward improving both diagnostic precision and overall workflow continuity. We’re also very pleased with their partnership with Overjet. Aligning with an AI company that we already trust and prefer to work with adds a strong layer of confidence and forward-thinking capability. This collaboration signals a commitment to innovation and smarter clinical support, which is incredibly valuable as dentistry continues to evolve.

#### Cons

One area that could be improved in SOTA Cloud is the navigation experience, particularly when moving between exams. While the platform has made strong strides in functionality and innovation, the navigation bar can feel less intuitive and fluid compared to systems like Apteryx. A more streamlined, responsive interface for quickly switching between exams would significantly enhance efficiency during busy clinical workflows. Improving this aspect would reduce friction for providers and team members who need to review multiple records in real time. With the rest of the platform evolving so well, refining the navigation experience would bring it to the same high standard and create a more seamless, user-friendly environment overall.

#### Reasons for switching to SOTA Cloud

Apteryx has poor customer service, and was becoming an outdated software.

### Good start, smoothing out the wrinkles.

- Reviewer: Dan A.

Good, working with onboarding was smooth. They SUPER helped me get going at lightening fast speed because of our specific situation - main reason company built goodwill in my mind. Tech support - jury is still out.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Ease of communication with implementation specialist, intuitive GUI, smooth data conversion, speed of onboarding, quick learning curve for team.

#### Cons

Tech support seems unmotivated to resolve issue, better luck with implementation specialist. The current issue is that SOTA Cloud uses incorrect field to populate at times, no data lost so far however. Hopefully devs find a fix. This would change my rating to 5 stars.

#### Reasons for choosing SOTA Cloud

Much smaller transition for just imaging instead of imaging AND PMS.

#### Reasons for switching to SOTA Cloud

Hardware support and policy was no longer client centered.

### Awesome Dental Imaging Software. Highly recommended!

Great so far. No complaints. Very easy to manually transfer images over and assistants can easily follow the instructions. Makes such tedious task so much easier than it otherwise would have been.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The user interface is very user friendly. Very easy to organize/rotate/move around images and to adjust image brightness/contrast.

#### Cons

The fact that patients' DOBs and gender do not automatically transfer over and have to be manually corrected. Also, if I am using a template and want to take more images than the template allows, I have pause to either add slots to the template or re-take the ones I already did, instead of just continue taking them.

#### Reasons for switching to SOTA Cloud

Curve was difficult to use. Terrible user interface.

Ease of taking x-rays and being able to lower the dose of radiation

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It is our first digital software so I am unable to compare to any other product. It was quite easy to learn.

#### Cons

It is easy to use however I would like it better if I was able to print 2 selected x-rays from an exam and print BOTH on one sheet of paper. Also when we set FMX to be taken in a specific order it does not hold that and changes back to initial set up.

#### Vendor response

Hello Tammy, You should be able to set the order of acquisition for an exam within the edit layout mode. If you would like, we can assist with modifying or creating an exam template to meet your needs. Please call our support line at (888)266-7682.

### Good software, easy to use, excellent value. Plenty of features for manipulating digital radiographs

#### Pros

I think the ability to enlarge and enhance the digital radiographs is the most useful aspect. The customizing of layouts is also a positive. I also like the integration of the photos and the ability to draw on the images when explaining things to patients.

#### Cons

I think what I like least is that I can't move a photo or a radiograph from a prior date or examination and place it on screen next to a current one or one from any other date or exam.
