"The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent."
"The integration with other applications is pretty good."
"Cloud-based management is valuable and software deployment is positive."
"It is stable."
"The way the ERP presents information for the user is very good."
"It has more features than somebody would expect, and it is worth taking a deeper look into the features available."
