April 2018
I had 3 Claris Intra-oral camera. 2 of which I struggled with
treatment closure is higher because of owning it
Pros
my 2nd Claris kept getting a low resolution image and the computer would display a message stating that the device is not recognizable (without changing anything or unplugging or moving the camera to another computer- no change whatsoever). I must have called customer support over 100 times in 5 months to fix that but it kept coming back. Finally, nobody was able to fix it or diagnose the problem. I had to buy an imagine camera instead. Otherwise WHEN it works, the camera and the software are easy and fanstastic. The best feature is the ease of use
Cons
That it is not accessible through Dentrix (it's linked but not integrated fully). I also wish that the adjustment of the colors on the picture had a short cut or a button accessible to use

Response from Sota Imaging
Hello Dr. Morad, We have a new revision of the Claris drivers since the last time we spoke. These drivers may resolve your issue. Please give us a call at (888)266-7682 if you would like to update your Claris drivers.

Fast but expensive
Higher productivity and enjoy the quality.
Pros
Interface and ease of use. Staff loves it especially the charting features and content transfered to office software.
Cons
Cost. Always the cost. If the price point was at a decent level. This program would sell to all offices.

Great Software but lacks stability
Great service. Beautiful software. Would easily be the best imaging software if the developers make it more stable.
Pros
Very easy to use Intuitive user interface with easy and fast navigation
Cons
Stability Concerns: we have had issues where the software randomly crashes. It’s not uncommon to get an error message where an error pop up appears saying device not detected. Also, the way the software arranges patient image folders makes it impossible to figure out which patient’s data is in the folder (e.g important if someone has a hardware failure and wants to identify the data that needs to be saved)

Response from Sota Imaging

The Sota Image Software has been a pleasure to use for over three years.
Good patient education opportunities. Ease of daily use with nearly non existent repairs. Fits into our office dynamic effortlessly.
Pros
New employees can learn how to use it quickly. It is easy to edit and send images. There is a good amount of format options. The images are clear for patient education.
Cons
Would like the date header to have the option to change it to the date taken. If we receive xrays from a different location the date that shows is the date of import. In order to see the date taken the mouse needs to hover over the image.

The best software
We went from developing x-rays to this software several years back and I have never needed or had the desire to look at other companies.
Pros
I selected this software several years ago due to the friendliness and touch screen capability. Anytime I call into customer service my call is answered in by a live person and issues are resovlved or they work directly with my IT company
Cons
It has nothing to do with Sota Imaging's software, its my server that creates a slower loading period.

it took a little to integrate the software, however, once completed no further issues.
great quality images and easy to use and manage.
Pros
once, installed easy to use and manage. The good quality and easy to arrange and label. My team is happy with the investment.
Cons
the initial set up took a while and a few calls to customer service. It was not integrating well at first. Took our computer specialist to eventually configure on his own after our calls to the customer service department failed. Blessed to have an amazing computer tech.

We use the software daily and it works very well with our Claris intraoral cameras
This software allows me to capture images from my claris camera and works wonderful.
Pros
It makes it easy for my entire staff to use the intraoral cameras and save images once taken. We use the cameras every day at multiple office locations and we never have a problem. As a matter of fact, I can't think of an easier way for us to capture images than with the Sota software. Capterra is the best!
Cons
None, it works great!

Good, not great, software
When I was using SOTA sensors and cameras, it was a great software, except it’s lack of true integration into Dentrix. But overall very good software that rivals Dexis and others.
Pros
Pretty easy to use, their sensors are pretty good. Their cameras are great.
Cons
Implementation into Dentrix wasn’t seamless. But if you don’t care for integration this isn’t an issue in terms of actual software quality.
Reasons for choosing SOTA Image
Initial cost was a major factor in my decision to choose SOTA.
Reasons for switching to SOTA Image
Switched offices.

I really like it. Does it's job well.
Pros
The software integrates well with my existing practice software. It is very simple to learn and use daily with most patients. All of my staff were able to quickly learn the functions available and use on a daily basis. The image quality and comparable, if not better, than other major brands I have previously used for the past twelve years of dental career. I find that the initial investment was well worth it and hope to get many additional years of quality use and function out of this software.
Cons
What do I least like about this software? Well, considering all the other competition on the market, the cost is fairly high comparable to major other name brands on the market. Not that the software is not worth the investment, I really like and appreciate the software. However, like most other products on the market, the cost can always be a factor .

Easy to use
Pros
Clear images that are easy to read and manipulate. Automatic function to find patients and quickly access them.
Cons
It does not aggregate images of teeth. The import of other digital xrays cannot be altered to fit dates.

Response from Sota Imaging
Hello Dr. Kim, The date on the exam will always reflect the date that the images were imported, however, individual images within that exam can be modified with the date the image was acquired using the blue set date button located on the left side of the modify exam screen. As long as tooth numbers have been assigned to your images, the history button can be used to view and compare images side by side.

Effortless
Easy to use and install with most practice management software or alone.
Pros
I found that its easy to use for all staff, new and old. There isn't too much trouble shooting you have to do if something comes up. Its straight forward to understand and navigate. Also the Support team is amazing. They are always very courteous and professional.
Cons
Using this cliosoft cray system with a intraoral camera has been tricky. It doesn't always work but its not complicated.

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

Response from Sota Imaging
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.

Sota Imaging software does exactly what we need for our office
Pros
The software user interface is easy to use. We are able to capture clear images easily to show patients of their needs. The zoom capability works for showing fine detail in the images.
Cons
Sometimes the software freezes. There have been times where the camera and the software are not communicating. I would like to have an autofocus.

Good value and modern software
Easy to use x-ray imaging software.
Pros
The software is relatively easy to use, and the user interface is attractive. I have not had any issues with customer support either.
Cons
Because of where the buttons are placed, it is easy to accidentally delete an image, and it is impossible to retrieve it after it's been deleted.

Response from Sota Imaging
Hello Dr. Essenmacher, When the delete button is clicked, before any record is deleted, a confirmation window should appear that requires a yes or no response. If this window does not appear please contact support at (888)266-7682.

Best imaging software out there
Pros
love the support, clarity, and reliability. We feel Sota backs there product and are always a quick phone call away. No long waits.
Cons
Mostly 100% , but from time to time due to probably user error, we will lose an exam. Fortunately we only have to call and 100% of the time they have been able to recover it.

I love this camera! It's easy to use and my photos are crystal clear. Good value for the money.
I was able to afford one for almost every operatory because of its reasonable price. Thank you Sota Imaging!
Pros
This camera is easy to use and to train others to use. The images are clear and the price is very reasonable.
Cons
The only drawback I have encountered is that there is no foot control. that would be a nice option to have.

We haven't had any problems with Sota on the four plus years we've had it. The rep was great.
Pros
It was one of the least costly digital platforms out there. The software is very customizable and user friendly.
Cons
We really haven't had issues with the software, except occasional freeze when viewing images imported into the software program, ie images taken with digital SLR

Easy to use.
Pros
I find the software very user friendly. It was easy to setup. I find the images are clear and sharp resulting in good printable images.
Cons
Nothing really. We like the easy setup. We found that this required minimal training. We actually have it on multiple computers.
