Highly recommendable software for clinics and groups of clinics

Superb

Pros

The specific reason for which I selected Pabau is that it has an excellent scheduling feature for multi clinic operations. This was an essential feature for me and is working flawlessly.
After that, the training is excellent, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been spectacular to help us get into the software.

Cons

So far nothing really; I would make the CRM section a bit more comprehensive, nevertheless, as we can customise it, it is not an issue at all.

Reasons for Choosing Pabau

Their product was clunky, not easy to use, and patient portal was difficult to navigate for patients. Also, it had many issues with speed and functions not working properly all the time.

Not something I would choose again

All a bit rubbish and disappointing to say the least

Pros

Functionality - low number of steps to navigate

Cons

Promises a lot but doesn't deliver - Lots of glitches - very poor customer service - mega expensive compared to market leaders like Cliniko

Alternatives Considered

Power Diary and Cliniko

Reasons for Choosing Pabau

Practicepal was old tech trying to support too many add on functions and it became mega slow, crashed frequently, and lost data.

Reasons for Switching to Pabau

Amazing user-friendly software

Overall, I really like this software. This is a fantastic user-friendly software, Has loads of options that you can choose from. Also, you can make your own templates which makes it very easy to work on. Quick and easy templates that make your clinical job very easy. I have worked with many other softwares like Spectrum and SOCRATES Etc But I found this one quite helpful and easy

Pros

Friendliness to work with, user-friendly software. Gives you loads of options and you can have your own plans which is really fantastic.

Cons

Initially induction, I was left on my own and it was quite frustrating. Also, the amount of time it took to set up and everything was not easy.

Not for medical businesses

Software is ok but I don't think it's suitable for a serious medical business. Sometimes they mix up data so there is GDPR issue.

Pros

Lots of features
covers everything that you need for marketing
Reports are very good and flexible

Cons

Takes ages to load
Lots of features but lots of them breaks and not working properly
Support - it takes ages for them to understand your issue and ages to reply. They ask same questions again and again,
Too many technical issues at the moment and they are struggling to fix

Response from Pabau

Hi Richard - we serve over 2000 medical businesses world-wide, are HIPPA and GDPR compliant, and we have isolated databases, so the idea we can have a mix up, is simply not true. We often find that 'issues' are 99% of the time caused by staff not going through the full academy, via academy.pabau.com so please encourage everyone to do so.

You can raise tickets via our ticketing system mytickets.pabau.com - but from looking at your interactions, it seems like you expect a more dedicated response, which can be easily achieved by upgrading to an account manager. https://pabau.com/account-manager/

Great for managing multiple services

Pabau have helped us manage multiple items in one place.

Pros

We have a busy practice with 30+ practitioners and pabau makes it easy for us to manage their schedules and see all of the patient details in one place for ease of managing their care alongside their admin.

Cons

I think the patient portal could do with some improvements as the online booking tool is clunky in comparison to other booking portals. Also it would be great if we could integrate the invoice and payment system with square as we tend to duplicate sending payment links with creating invoices on the patient's account for their records.

Why I subscribed to Pabau

The on boarding and training team have been very professional and prompt with correspondence.

Pros

There are many features I could not find in other software. Particularly the use of consultation templates to reduce note writing time, photography with the assistance of stencils to always obtain the correct patient view (very good for before and after photos), integration of drug look up, the ability to assign permissions for data view amongst staff and online booking. Everything is customisable. There is a whole suite of tools to match the demands of my growing business.

Cons

I would have preferred the option of a free trail period to play around with the application pre subscription. However, I can see that I would have flounder without the online training provided. There is a learning curve steeper than other applications.

Lacking US support

I don’t know how the UK is but I can tell you that they are really lacking support for US users. I love all the features but ever since they move to a newer version everything is not working smoothly. I am seeing so many technical errors and I can’t even talk to a person. I have to email back and forth not getting any solution from them. I have to figure out everything myself. I just want to cry with business being so busy and now I have to worry about this. I don’t even know where to start but there’s 100 things that’s now working right. So embarrassing for the clients. Email is not working. Invoice is not working. Services is not working properly. To name e few! I was content and happy with Pabau classic and pabau 2 looks pretty good but there’s just too many things not working right.

Pabau for an Aesthetic Clinic

The onboarding process was very slow for a brand-new clinic with no data to migrate. Most of the support staff have limited knowledge and are unable to provide immediate assistance. The platform has basic bugs that are common in any software platform, indicating a lack of thorough testing before releasing features to the public. Many features in Pabau 2 depend on the original Pabau, requiring tweaks in Pabau 1 for them to function correctly in Pabau 2.

Pros

I found several aspects of Pabau particularly beneficial:

Online Booking System: The ability to create links for specific treatments is a standout feature. It simplifies the booking process for clients and allows for targeted promotion of particular services.

Cloud-Based Platform: The cloud-based nature of Pabau ensures that data is securely stored and accessible from anywhere. This enhances flexibility and convenience, making it easy to manage appointments and client information on the go.

Cons

System Performance: The system can be quite slow at times, which impacts efficiency and productivity.

Onboarding Process: The onboarding process is also slower than expected, which can be frustrating for new users eager to get started.

Customer Success: The Customer Success experience leaves much to be desired mainly because Customer Success staff were not trained on Pabau 2 features or how to use them.

Customer Retention Focus: Customer retention should be a core aspect of every interaction. Ensuring that users feel valued and supported can significantly improve overall satisfaction.

System Bugs: There are still multiple bugs present in the system despite it being in the production environment. Addressing these issues promptly would enhance the user experience and reliability of the platform.

Elixir skin clinic review

Very stressful and a very poor experience. We are looking to switch to another system.

Pros

When it works it can be helpful and is better than a written diary

Cons

It is very very buggy, regularly doesn’t work, patients disappear, cannot be booked in, devices don’t connect together so different appointments appear on different devices. Calendar and/ or journey regularly fail to show on iPads. Customer service, while replies are speedy we are repeatedly told it isn’t an issue on pabaus end when it clearly is. We never ever receive an apology for serious issues which cause massive problems in clinic and we are often asked to manually correct things our end which are the fault of the system from your end. Why should we create errors that have occurred within the system that we have no control over.

Response from Pabau

Hi Louisa

As you can see from the many 5 star reviews we have below, we are proud of our system and how it has helped many businesses who are using it to its potential. I have reviewed the conversations you have had with support, and feel your ratings of 1/5 are not reflective of the support that you have received. We want all of our clients to be happy with the system, and I would be more than happy to send down one of our UK trainers to spend the day with you, free of charge to go through any workflow issues that you guys are having, as, as you can see below, when the system is well used generally people are very happy with it. Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] and he will arrange our on-site trainer to come and talk through any issues you have and hopefully we can get your opinion on the system changed quickly as there is nothing more that we want than you to be happy with it.

System has great features, but cumbersome and riddles with bugs . Tempted to switch to another system, but am hoping they get right with Pabau 2.0. I'm hoping Pabau 1.0 was a learning curve and they'll deliver a new system with less expensive and frustrating bugs.

Pros

Loads of terrific features. Loads of potential

Cons

Riddled with software bugs, particular the financial side. Invoicing, credit notes & vouchers. I've suffered financial losses as result.

Pabau Review

The set up and implementation was extremely easy and smooth. Customer Service has been great so far.

Pricing has to be competitive and certain features need to be improved

Pros

I liked the Calendar feature, REcords Management feature, Templates are handy, Marking for Botox etc are compatible, Notifications are well designed.

Cons

The least I liked is their PRescription feature which is complicated to use. Also the birthday templates are not fancy. Customer review template is also not up to the mark.

Loving the features so far!

Pros

I like how easy it is. And the features I need are all there.

Cons

It isn't perfect due to some email/text not working but so far I've found a workaround on it. Wish they fix it so I don't have to worry about it too much.

Alternatives Considered

PatientNow and Phorest

Reasons for Choosing Pabau

They don't have the features I need

Switched From

GlossGenius

Reasons for Switching to Pabau

I saw the good reviews online

Pabau is a learning curve but is delivering on its promises

Pros

Customer support is really easy and responsive

Cons

There are still some features I am not fully sure we are using properly and it can be difficult to work out how to optimise our use of the system. I feel there is more functionality than we are utilising.

Excellent solution for me

I stumbled into the business two years ago, and I can genuinely say that it was one of the finest professional choices I have ever made. As soon as I started, I saw there was a lot of opportunity for advancement in terms of my duties, position, and the development of team and leadership abilities, which is always a plus in any profession.

Pros

The company's willingness to consider fresh concepts that might enhance our daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly workflow is something I truly like. Our daily work is more productive as a consequence of the implementation of ideas that staff members, including myself, have offered.

Cons

There are a few changes that need to be made, such as the ability to remove photographs from the iOS app and add simple notes, but Pabau is wonderful at listening and will accept suggestions.

Response from Pabau

DO NOT USE PABAU !

PABAU product is very very bad also on trust pilot they got so many bad reviews that they have removed their company name from it. Well customers can still seee their company real reviews 1* !

Pros

PABAU app doesn’t work it redirect to website. PABAU newsletters once sent are totally different that how you design them on system. Contacts failing payments not going through. While project is a mess do not risk to bankrupt your business !

Cons

Do not use PABAU for your business honestly you will lose out badly!

Response from Pabau

Pabau covers our needs

At the moment I only have knowledge of the reporting section of Pabau, but am learning about the aspects of data entry, clinic management, and the full patient experience from start to finish. I have limited clinical knowledge, but am amazed at the full extent of Pabau from Marketing emails through gathering leads, initial consultation, various pathways through prescription, treatment, follow-up services and back to Marketing for additional services. It’s integration with Financials and Stock through P.O.s, and scheduling system organising Staff availability, Clinics and Rooms indicates that it is a comprehensive system.

Pros

From my limited experience with it, it appears to be an all-encompassing set of applications, covering almost everything we would want from such software.

Cons

There seems to be an issue with the use of free text being entered by some of the clinicians, causing confusion by duplication - Discount, for example. Also, certain fields are not compliant with general rules - email addresses aren’t always viable and Client Names may contain non-alphabetic characters (other than the usual apostrophe or hyphen, that is). If possible, id like to be able to tighten data entry rules in these cases.

Great Software

Great customer care. I'm a night owl so even had replies from staff at 11pm which i was expecting the next day to answer questions. I wasn't pushed with a hard sell which was nice! Ive interacted with most staff as ive asked multiple questions daily as ive set the system up and always received a speedy helpful response. Very friendly, welcoming staff with great systemising and automation software!

Pros

I purchased this for when we reopen. I was considering taking a new member of staff on to do all the implementing and automation as well as stock control etc. all the bits I dont have time to do but purchased the software instead. It allows me to run reports at my own convenience. I enjoy that it ha content blocks on as i rent from various areas and I dont want them to access my performance and cash flow etc yet they can still book in my clients.
Im very visual and so is this program you can simple colour code, add clients and staff photos etc.

Cons

Its a little tricky to use at first but easy to learn. I am an android fan as ive had to purchase an ipad for clients journeys etc which was a pain so that i can use the app,

Response from Pabau

Thank you so much! We look forward to seeing your clinic grow with Pabau, if you need anything, then reach out on live chat and we will be happy to help!
