Cons

- Pricing Requires a Demo to Unlock: Exact pricing is not publicly listed; practices must schedule a demo or contact sales to get a quote, which can slow the evaluation process.
- Migration Effort for Existing Practices: Switching from a legacy system requires data conversion and staff re-training, which — while supported — involves time investment and a transition period.
