The system covers the majority of features we need and can be tailored to meet bespoke requirements. > > **Cons**: Like any IT system Halo can suffer from problems. When this happens they have been address quickly by the Halo team and fixes found, even when the problem is out of their control. I.E. a local network error. > > I have always found the Halo system to be a reliable and cost effective. ----- ### "My feedback" — 4.0/5 > **Sam** | *31 July 2018* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The different functions and facilities, for example: Caseload Manager, SMS texting, Multiple contacts via the Calendar, Client Journal, TOP Tracker. I also think there is a good range of reports available to use, which is really useful when I am asked for statistics. > > **Cons**: I would like the Client Update form to be journey level rather than episode level; that way when someone updates a client address or contact number, this will update on all episodes within the journey. I also find the system quite slow at times, but I am unsure of whether this is a Halo issue or an I.T issue. > > Overall I think Halo is a great system and it has improved a lot over the last 10 years. The Caseload Manager is such a beneficial tool and has allowed us to keep on top of our caseloads and to-do lists. The Halo Support team have been very helpful. ----- ### "My HALO nightmare" — 1.0/5 > **Jason** | *31 July 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: that it attempts to meet the needs of a specialist area of clients > > **Cons**: That it is very poorly designed and integrated, it seems to have accreetd over time, there are a massive amounts of inconsistencies and bugs within the software > > Very Poor, there is always an issue around using the software whether it is performance of errors within the software, the software is also very dated in terms of cross platform functionality - no secure mail gateways for example, inconsistent working practices in updating demographics etc ----- ### "Halo review -" — 4.0/5 > **Mohammed** | *3 August 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Can upload PDF and Word documents and attach them to a particular patient's record - a simple drag and drop manoeuvre > > **Cons**: Halo Calendar very slow and not fit for purpose - stick to Outlook. Also Halo email - once email is read, no way to unread it so that it remains as a reminder. In a busy clinic, this means that reading emails is delayed until the clinician has time to action them. ----- ### "Review for Halo" — 5.0/5 > **Nomsa** | *6 August 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Once you have have been shown how to use it, it is very easy to follow. You can change your password easily using forget password without any restrictions. You can also change the password to what is easier for you to remember. You can securely access Halo away from your office. > > **Cons**: When Halo does not work or allow you to log on > > it is a good software ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/177247/halo?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/177247/halo) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
