Pros

My training experience with our rep has been so helpful and supportive. I will recommend ICANote any time.
Fair price, great customer service and reliable platform. They are a company with many years of experience, I have been using their product since 2005 and it has only improved over the years.
The support and training that has been provided to our team has been fantastic. The ease of use had made transition for new hires to acclimate and provide quality documentation.

Pros

I use it daily for my job. However, my favorite part about Best Notes is the amazing customer service.
I looked into BestNotes and was very impressed with what it has to offer, and at a very affordable price.
As an outpatient therapist, this system allows is so user friendly and to have the customer support to help make forms that was already in place and not charge is a wonderful experience.

Cons

There are places where you can get stuck and can't move. For example, creating a patient chart that does not have all the required information gives you an error message.
They seemed clueless of how to transfer data. They were unable to transfer records from a group practice without having to recreate the entire record.
I canceled SFAX due to poor customer service and excessive cost, and ongoing failed faxes. Approximately 6-10 in any given day.

Cons

As we are new to using BestNotes I am not sure if its a technical error or user error but it fails to carry over the level of care for each client.
The software doesn't seem to be upgrading with the advances in technology. I still find it hard to navigate and make edits to a document without it making an error in the formatting.
Additionally, the file size constraints can be a limitation when working with government agencies who have extremely large patient files.
