Stepping out

Reviewed on 2018/07/19

Pros

This is an awesome ground floor vet software, and they work hard to update it to what is needed constantly. The price e is PERFECT, and the Cloud capability makes them even better!

Cons

Some of the needed updates are frustrating to work around, such as nesting items within 1 charge, refilling scripts and signing charts easily, but we know they will eventually be available!

Response from Hippo Manager Software

We're so glad that you've acquired Hippo Manager as a software solutions provider that has a competitive price point, is simple to use and increases efficiencies, at your practice.

We DO work very hard at constantly upgrading and updating our software to exceed industry standards and our veterinary practice partners expectations.

Some of the small frustrations you've listed will actually be updated and refreshed very soon in mid-late 2018! We're looking forward to sharing our continued improvements with you and appreciate your partnership, business, and time it took to provide feedback.

Hippo Manager in Vet Med

Reviewed on 2023/07/09

Overall a great software but invoicing is such a hassle.

Overall a great software but invoicing is such a hassle.

Pros

I like that it is generally easy to locate patients and their charts/labs/documents. Easy to schedule appointments.

Cons

Invoicing with Hippo 2.0 makes me want to pull my hair out. I don't feel that it is efficient to have to switch between the medication and vaccine tab in order to invoice these items. Estimates are also trickier with Hippo 2.0; you cannot easily change an estimate into an invoice if the client approves everything. Main takeaway: invoicing and estimate making is a huge time consuming task that is making not only me but the doctors I work with a little crazy.

Response from Hippo Manager Software

Thank you for making the time to leave feedback!

Development work continues on invoicing, medication and vaccine workflows so be sure to be reading over the bi-weekly release emails.

If possible, we would love more information regarding the estimate to invoice workflow to make sure we aren't missing any opportunities for improvement.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts!

No more paper chart headaches

Reviewed on 2023/07/30

Pros

The cloud based software is extremely convenient. It's a huge time saver to be able to pull up a patient's entire record anywhere rather than having to search for a physical chart.

Cons

The new update seems a bit clunky and isn't always the most user friendly. It's also more time consuming.

We are so glad you are enjoying the convenience of Hippo and really appreciate you sharing your experience! Thank you.

Pros

It is very user friendly and intuitive to learn. It’s could based so you can access your records/invoicing on the go.

Cons

Inventory is not accurate, tech support is great, customer support is terrible. When first launched I had an account manager, now I never receive call backs about questions I have.

The people there are LOVELY! They no longer seem to have enough of them, but everyone I have dealt with is professional and capable. They seem severely overwhelmed.

Pros

Still has great customizable layout of medical record. Still has efficient charting with customizable note templates that populate the invoice. I love these features. I will miss Hippo when I leave them --which will be soon.

Cons

The recent "upgrade" to 2.0 made the software simply unmanageable for our practice. Workflow is now severely bogged down. Billing is so much harder. Inventory numbers have become random garbage. I am so sad for all this negative change.

Response from Hippo Manager Software

Thank you Dr F for the opportunity to serve you and your team. We appreciate all you have done to support us as we've continued to improve the platform. We are disappointed we have clearly missed the mark in meeting your expectations. You will be missed.

In a clinic setting where new people are not entering constantly and the features do not need to be updated as often, Hippo would likely be great. In my educational setting, where I get new students every year and I change the way I do things from time to time, it is cumbersome.

Pros

Once I got used to it, it is easy to do what I need to do on a daily basis

Cons

It is time-consuming to learn; not as intuitive as I would expect. And I cannot customize as many features as I would like.

Response from Hippo Manager Software

Hi Pam,

We appreciate your feedback of our practice management software. We work hard to make our product as easy to use and intuitive as possible and we're sorry we've fallen short of your expectations.

Pros

The UI is very easy to use. It is accessible on multiple devices. Priced very well. Cloud backup.

Cons

Creating packages and figuring a way to work the inventory numbers and pricing without staff finding out would be great. Some more in depth administrative features would also be great. More options on what to give access for and what staff shouldn't be able to do. Roles are too vague.

Pros

I like that is very appealing to eyes, i like the icons for all the different options, very easy to train staff on, i like that they give you online video tutorials to learn how to use the software.

Cons

Wish there was a bit more customization of forms and medical charts. I find the hippo software tech support never gets back to me when i email them, I wish the software was linked to like abaxis blood machines and idexx xrays so all the medical records are online and im not having to go between softwares

Response from Hippo Manager Software

Shaylin,

So glad Hippo has helped you go paper-lite at your clinic! So much is built so that practices can see patients from anywhere and take care of business, including payment, without the need for paper!

Idexx is integrated into Hippo Manager, we will have a support team member reach out to you to get that set up for you asap! Abaxis is not far down the line as our integrations are growing rapidly, you'll see so many more added in 2019 and going into 2020.

Sorry to hear you've experienced delays with our support team. Our NPS score is above the industry average and we're proud of that so we'll be sure to make sure you have the same experience going forward.

Remote learning is 100% included and free. Glad to see you're utilizing all the videos and 100s of hours of self-paced learning using LITMOS :)

Thanks for being a valued practice partner!

What I like most about the software is that there is a vast variety of things that can be done meaning that there is plenty of resources and areas that can be utilized within this program. To wear everything or a lot of our information can just be contained or stored in one area.

Cons

I don't like that we can't add or subtract things on our own that we have to contact hippo to do so. Such as wanting to add our own soap forms or our own euthanasia forms it doesn't give us the option to do so or to edit such forms to our own liking. They also say that they're supposed to be less clicking done of the mouse in this program but it appears to me that there is more or a lot of unnecessary clicking needing to be done.

Overall Hippo works really well. There are just a few things that just don't make sense to us.

Pros

The ease of scheduling in Hippo is fantastic. It is very modernized and customizable for our practice and we appreciate that.

Cons

It is not the most user friendly software in terms of things that would help office/clinic flow.
The inventory has been a long issue with Hippo and we are just finally getting it back on track.
We also struggle with how to set up our schedule so there are blocks for where we should and should not schedule patients. It is very clunky.
There are a ton of steps for things that really only need one step.
When you adjust or change things in a scheduled appointment it does not switch the active client over and just leaves it as the previous one even though you are doing work for that specific client.
We also do not like that we are unable to print off certain reports or fix things in our system without contacting Hippo support and it would be much quicker for us to address on our own.

With any software switch there are growing pains, but we are finally settling in and tech support has been awesome. Not to mention all the help from our reps! Everyone is always available and ready to help, especially our rep - who helped me with the final data migration and worked late to help me after close so we could be ready to go live the next morning.

Pros

It is simple and unburdened by excessive, unnecessary features like a lot of practice management software. It is compatible with anything you want to use: desktop, cell phone, tablet, laptops... When combined with a laptop and wireless card readers it is a great perk to check out clients in the room so they can leave straight from the room, and not worry about standing at the front desk to check out.

Cons

There is no boarding scheduling outside of adding a resource into the main appointment calendar (we used to schedule by date and kennel size). Also, there is no way to have a procedure code (with reminders attached) also take out inventory. (Example: you charge the client for an annual vaccine as a procedure so an annual reminder goes into the system- there is no way to also take that out of inventory with a hidden line item). Though, I did recommend this as a new enhancement, so the development team is always open to suggestions!

I love that it is cloud based so I can work at home or other locations if needed. User friendly especially since we are paperless. Most reports/histories can be downloaded and put directly into the chart avoiding excess paper waste.

Cons

There are just a few small things I would change. I would like to have the ability to type different things in some of the Vital Signs boxes (such as "pant" for respirations) or a different appearance of the gums. I would also like to be able to put something on someones account and close out the invoice and just have a balance but no open invoice.

I've been very happy with the training and the technical support; very important to me because I'm not a computer person! It's taking some getting used to, but overall it's a nice upgrade from our previous server-based system.

Pros

Easy and intuitive to use; can access from any device at any time.

Cons

No functionality in offline mode. As a mobile vet, I find that at least 2-3 times a day I have to save info and enter it later due to poor internet connectivity where I'm working.

Response from Hippo Manager Software

Hi Dr. Wallace,

We're so glad that our customer success team has helped you overcome any technical hurdles movin from server to our cloud-based system. We're here to help with unlimited support and training always!

Heading to see patients where there is no internet can be challenging for mobile vets. We're glad that you're still using the total mobility of Hippo and updating data when you get back "online". You can also run Hippo from a cellphone hot spot. So, if you have cell service, you can open a hot spot and connect Hippo Manager that way to stay online. As cell networks grow, going into areas that offer no service for internet will be obsolete.

Thanks again for being a part of the Herd. We appreciate you!

Hippo has been great for tracking clients and their pets. It's easy to add or change a pet's owner, chart notes, and track payments. The daily scheduler is great and easy to use.

Pros

Great for managing patients, adding additional pets to a client, and managing the treatment notes

Cons

There's no way to customize a specific report for an item or items of interest. The report section only charts the top ten used.

Response from Hippo Manager Software

Hi April,

We love to hear that we're fulfilling your needs as a high volume spay/neuter clinic, and thanks for the work that Kindness Counts does for the community.

Being easy to use and simple to learn is a goal of our practice management software, so glad to see that it's been that way for you.

Our training manager will reach out to you regarding reports. There are views you can complete in the reports where you can dynamically search for an item and filter to see specific items. Reports will also show all items for the given criteria. We'll get this sorted out right away, looking forward to helping you use more our of robust reporting section!

Thanks for being a part of the Hippo Manager Herd.
