I loved the one time, upfront purchase and ability to use it on all of our office computers for that single fee.

It makes communication with the team seamless. It also helps set priorities of which room/patient to see next.

When everybody is getting the same messages that may or may not apply to most of them, it might feel a little annoyingly repetitive.

It works great for our pediatric dental office.

Great that the front office doesn’t need to leave their desk to come to the back.

I will figure it out one time, then forget how to do it by the next time.

I think it was a little difficult to send notifications to specific target groups of the office.

I appreciate the simplicity of application that this software provides. It provides a way to quickly communicate across an office of many doctors, techs, and office personnel.

Very straightforward and interface is very user friendly. Staff caught on very quickly with using software.

We've improved our ability to connect in the workplace without meeting in person or picking up the phone, thanks to BlueNote Communicator.

We also love that each person can use a unique sound, which can be turned off or on. Works well and keep team communication seamless.

We shave also found the communicator to be an important timesaver, saving trips from front office  to back office for simple questions. We are a much more efficient practice thanks to Bluenote.

Ease of use and implementing to each computer in the office.

Before Blue Note there was so much calling for each other, walking around to find each other for a patient check and now, all is quiet, all is so much more efficient and all is quiet.

The customization of the product and the low fee. The costumer service is also wonderful.

I am using the original software since 2010. It is still available but no more updates.

On top of that it has features that allow you to analyze workflows and time-management. Cost is very reasonable and there is no per workstation licensing.

It's intuitive and easy to use while being very robust and comprehensive. Perfect for distributing work across teams and keeping track of progress and issues.

Some of the benefits that I found useful are listed below. It helps in tracking a number of tasks whether it is a new feature, an issue or bug or anything that requires some kind of tracking.

It's like an extra powerful ship, abundant in functions and features, that would bring you anywhere you like. For complex projects, it's probably a hidden weapon that decides about the win.

Great task-management software at an affordable price - JIRA is a great solution for a small business.

Jira has been good tool to help us organize and execute our team's work. I'd hope to find more flexibility in views and the like in JIRA, but as it's focus is on software teams I understand.

There are nice features that integrate across the ecosystem, like opsgenie, also the charts seem useful,  having multiple metrics about the project progress.

Some of the breakdowns of what issue the problems fall under aren't specific enough, and there are character limits for some of the requests when they should be able to leave more detail.

Customer service is outstanding. Great for companies to use as a ticketing system for logging issues, creating tasks and projects etc.

Overall experience is very nice with jira because of it's inclusive price & good features.

I really like the ease of use. It s very versatile and i like the customer support.

I love the integration with bitbucket because I can relate commits, pull requests and branches to an amount os cards on Jira, what is great for maintenability as well as for management.

We've had developers tell us that they hate JIRA because everything is just too confusing.

It's an amazing tool for working together across departments specially in big organizations. It's great with tickets - tasks or bugs.

Its configuration is a little confusing. As for use, in the beginning user is somewhat lost due to many fields and features of the tool.

Overall, the product is great to use. If your company invests in it then as a user, you should can count yourself lucky.

In addition, it is a great motivational tool and teaches us to discipline. It gives great insight into the status of ongoing projects and helps in their accessible presentation.

I like having the ability to “tag” other colleagues until tickets and messages. I also like the integration ability with some of our other tools.

I love that you can make recommendations and they listen to you and implement the changes which are great.

I like it is easy to use and even the price is not high for what it offers. I have been using these over the last years every day at my work and is perfect.

Great teamwork/collaboration tool with a great overview of the project and its progress, I would highly recommend this product for any software implementation.

Nice and friendly interface in the latest versions. Great power when it comes to managing permits and creating workflows.

The overall experience is good, it can be better on certain costumization fields and profile managment.

The lone thing I hate is that it is somewhat costly with regards to additional items.

I like most the versatility and the ease of use. It is designed in an intuitive way and the user experience has been great.

I feel like there is a ton of customization and all the appropriate fields are there. I love the burn down to see if we are on track with our sprint and I also love the kanban board.

I liked most in JIRA is ease of use and helpful. It helps us in tracking project and its tasks so that we can get more clarity on project outcome and its implementations.

Jira was great for what I needed it for; bug reporting. However, as someone who it took a while to learn, I am happy that is all I had to do.

We needed a help desk system that is reliable and performed the functions we wanted. It fit the bill perfectly at a cost that didn't break our bank.

Jira works great and allows to access and change boards very easily. It is a great way to communicate with the team due to the great features.

It’s a great program that helps organizations stay on top of project completions or important customer interactions.

Helps categorize, filter, share issues with great ease. There are so many good features that I love, it's hard to list over a review.

The problem is that with the passage of time I have been getting more things that I dislike and the initials do not stop bothering me, they could even bother me more at a certain point.

Also the issue tracking system is awesome. I used other service desk solutions in the past but Jira is best among them.

It's great to have a single place where we can document epics/features/stories/tasks. It's a great integration with third-party tools like Git.

BlueNote Communicator Lights has its origin as a virtual Light Panel call system for medical practices, but it has evolved into a comprehensive communicator that is not only HIPAA-secure, but also low cost since its hosted on a local network and not cloud-based.

Know immediately where help is needed by seeing or hearing a notification from any computer throughout an office and then start walking. BlueNote Lights are designed to keep track of timed events such as patient check-ins, where a doctor should go next, or anything that  employees in a medical practice need to share with one another immediately, quickly, and simply.

The software is free to download and use for 30 days on all computers in a practice, and video tutorials are available on the website as well as live remote training sessions. It only takes one person at one computer to set up the entire system for everyone, and the trial version reverts to a full system once a license is purchased.  Licensing is all upfront, and per practice location, not per user.
