Revenuewell

Cons

Data Reliability

RevenueWell users express frustration that the platform “lacks the depth and customization options we need to get detailed insights. Almost daily, the dashboard has to reboot, which interrupts anything we may be in the middle of.” These Issues can disrupt workflow, impacting the reliability of critical data access. This combined with other platform issues can contribute to user dissatisfaction.

Customer Support Delays

RevenueWell users report “support was hard to get ahold of when we had issues, and response times were far too long, especially when we needed quick fixes.” Additionally, users have expressed frustration with getting help “in a timely manner. Support doesn’t always respond quickly, which can be frustrating during a busy day.” This can reflect a recurring problem with delayed support.

Communication Errors

RevenueWell faces complaints regarding its inconsistent patient communications. Users report that “there have been more ‘outage’ issues, leading to reminders being sent with wrong information.” This can lead to patient confusion, with reminders being sent to patients who have already “canceled or even to inactive patients.” This can result in increased no-shows or overbookings, negatively affecting the practice’s operations and causing patient confusion.

Service Interruptions

RevenueWell users report service interruptions. One of the most common issues mentioned is “frequent interruptions that really hurt our communication with patients. The system would go offline without warning, leaving us scrambling.” Additionally, users have highlighted “instances where it took support hours to address the issue. It slowed down our entire workflow for the day.”

High Price for Features

RevenueWell has faced criticism for its high price. “The cost of the service has gone up considerably over the last few years, and it’s hard to justify especially when certain features are still lacking.” Some feel that “the pricing is way too high for what you actually get. We ended up paying more for basic features that other platforms include in their base packages.”

Marketing Limitations

RevenueWell’s marketing capabilities have received criticisms including “the marketing tools are really limited. You can’t customize campaigns as much as you’d like, and the templates feel outdated.” Users have expressed frustration with “the system lacking the depth for advanced marketing. We need more control over targeting and personalizing our campaigns, but the options are pretty basic.” These are just a few complaints.

Phone Outages

Users have mentioned outages with the phone system, which disrupts practice operations. “Our phones go down when the internet drops, and it really disrupts our ability to communicate with patients. The interruptions are frustrating and happen more often than expected.” These breakdowns can affect and delay communication with patients, which is critical for daily scheduling and patient management.

Missed Reviews

Users express frustration with RevenueWell’s capabilities for collecting user reviews. One key concern is “it lacks flexibility when sending review requests. We would prefer more control over when and how these requests are sent.” Reminders sometimes do not go out as expected, which can lead to inconsistent feedback collection. Additionally, users find that the review management features need to be more robust.

Payment Issues

RevenueWell’s payment system “integrates well with Eaglesoft, but struggles with others.” This can force practices using non-supported systems to handle payments manually, leading to inefficiencies and extra administrative work. There have been reports of outages and disruptions in services, including their in-office payment systems. These outages can cause delays in processing and create frustrations for both staff and patients.

Limited Marketing Reports

Users have noted that the RevenueWell analytics lack depth and do not provide the detailed insights needed to accurately measure the ROI for marketing campaigns. The reports are often seen as “too basic and generalized” which can make it difficult for practices to track metrics related to marketing performance, such as conversion rates from email campaigns or patient acquisition source.
