Too big for it's britches
What do you like best about the product?
OpenEMR is very robust and helps with scheduling, billing, client CRM, administration and many other very useful tools if you do not have another CRM or EMR in place.
What do you dislike about the product?
OpenEMR is far too vast to ever take advantage of all of it's features. Most people want an EMR that is easy to set up and get running. I think in this day and age that OpenEMR is just too rhobust
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
At the time and for many years we used OpenEMR to manage any of our non-county client records. The security was sufficient and the customizations that were in place were made well but it took a third party to get the customizations done and it cost more that we expected to meet our needs. I believe that many of the customizations we had build are now built into the newer versions. This review is on an older version and may not reflect your experiences. Even the older version was able to meet our needs so I am sure it has gotten even better.

What do you dislike about the product?
The primary problem I encounter—and I assume everyone else faces it as well—would be that some of the features are occasionally somewhat buggy. If you can't fix them independently, you must rely on the contributors, which takes time. This software's user interface (UI) is a little dated as well.
