Pros and cons

All our staff have been fantastic with the transition and are so pleased with the many features which make the day to day jobs more efficient, yet simple.
The Controlled drug report is extremely useful - allowing precise reconciliation with the drug register. Integration with Vetscan machines for recording pathology has been a great help.
Customer service team super helpful and knowledgeable. Very diverse software, that is user friendly.
Only the odd time when they've been unavailable due to not enough support staff on the day.
Cons: Lack of spell check, report designer, marketing, current balance on general client search. If Brad's away we struggle to get help.
No payroll component activated for Australia. Would be complete package if this was provided.

Vision VPM review a clinic owners perspective

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Easy to use and learn - generally easy to onboard new or temporary staff Stable Support is good - see comment below - some great people on the team - Liz Z and Hayden spring to mind

Cons

Overall product is great - main concern is the 9-5 M-F customer support which tho standard for IT industry does not reflect the Vet professions business model. As a user since 2012 - response times have become longer over the years - Updates come with a video tutorial which sounds great but the tutorials are so dull (sorry Liz!!) I cant bear to watch them - they would be much better if instead of a single hour long video of which only 5 minutes is applicable to how you use Vision - the video tutorials on updates come as a email with links to short segments so you can dip into the content that's relevant to you - woud be interesting to see how many people view the update tutorials in thier current long form

Vendor response

Hi Joshua, thanks for your review. Your feedback is super valuable to us! These comments will be passed onto the team.

Customer Service second to none

Reviewed 3 years ago

I've had no regrets with installing Vision from day 1 at the clinic. I use the full General Ledger capability which essentially saves me from having to buy an entire additional software package. The Team has been responsive to change requests and the customer service has been outstanding. When we had a server disaster I had round the clock help from Vision until we were back up and running. I can't fault their Team.

Pros

Vision, developed over such a long time, obviously contains the functionality needed to effectively manage a veterinary clinic, but it's the customer service that really makes the difference for me. The Vision support Team are always friendly, helpful and FAST. Nothing is too much trouble. It makes an enormous difference to know that there is someone on the end of the line who will respond immediately and actually solve your problem the first time, whenever needed.

Cons

There's a few areas where fewer clicks would be useful and there is a lot to learn, so often this is a case of just knowing a better way .... Much of my reporting I do external to Vision, exporting data and then using different tools to present it.

Not to sure how to feel about this one.

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

With all the recent buzz about all this acquisitions by Henry Schein is a bit hard to evaluate their products with an open mind. Software perse this is your typical PIMS system with more or less the same features like any other.

Cons

I dont like where Shein is heading with their EULA these days seem like they are more keen in what they can use your data for than what their software can help you do with that data. I would be very weary of any Shein software from this point on in the future.

20 years of using and wont change now

Reviewed 3 years ago

Always get great service from the helpdesk when needed within working hrs - after hrs not so much but hey cant win them all.

Pros

I have used this for nearly 20 years and when I went to Auckland for 5 years used another system that I found a lot more complicated and had flaws. Im still learning all the things Vision can do

Cons

The cost of all the extra add on's but it is a far superior product to any on market and guess its because its well developed that it costs.

VisionVPM

Reviewed 7 months ago

even after 10 years of using vision I'm still learning a lot of new/better ways to do things. A lot of it comes down to being thought the way everyone else in the clinic does it, until you talk to the support team and they teach you a better way to do things.

Pros

VisionVPM is easy to use, and when there are issues the customer support are great help. Easy to get the basics sorted for new staff . A lot of the update have been well thought out and make it easier to use. Can not rave enough about how great the support team are .

Cons

it can be a bit hard to find how to do things, even with the help document

Thanks for the review Carlotta, appreciate the feedback and this will be passed onto the team.

At Kenwick Vet we had been using Viva software for several years and were happy with the program. There came a point where we felt that we had "out grown" Viva and wanted more in a software package. We needed to be able to streamline how we managed our practice and improve our time management yet improve our client communications. After conversations with Kaye Hannah we decided to explore Vision....

Vision VPM for small animal practice

Reviewed 6 months ago

Vision VPM has been very useful in standardising our approach to work flow. It has many useful features we are still discovering. We aim to move to paper free by 2023, utilising the Vision App

Pros

Very easy for new staff to pick up, excellent software support, good features

Cons

Sometimes the updates throw us out until we're used to the changes. Can be tricky to get the lab connection integrated after an update.

Fantastic Customer Service

Reviewed 3 years ago

The Service we receive from Vision is exceptional. While there can occasionally be a wait on the support line, the staff are worth the time. They're quick with solutions and suggestions, are keen to teach how to rectify issues ourselves, and are able to quickly help with anything we can't fix here. Their dedication to helping us ensure our business has all of the system support it needs is fantastic. They're also really lovely!

Pros

Vision has myriad useful features to make managing our day simpler. It's customisable, has automation features to take some of the load off, and is clever.

Cons

There are some ways in which the product isn't very intuitive (no directs links from some windows to others).

Vision VPM Veterinary Software

Reviewed 8 years ago

I have used Vision VPM since 2006, having previously used other veterinary software including RxWorks. The VISION product is intuitive and easy to use, and is continually being updated and improved. The support staff are courteous and helpful, and the entire team are open to comments and suggestions if there are features that would be useful to add. The process for updating is very simple. The new website portal makes change requests and communication even easier. We have been fortunate enough to participate in some beta testing of new modules, and find the VISION response to problems to be very rapid. I would definitely recommend this product.
