Editorial verdict

Established on-premise dental PMS — quote only

EXACT still sells depth (managers, Examine Pro, HICAPS/Tyro) as an on-premise licence. Dollars are unpublished. HSO is steering new cloud buyers to Dentally. Stored 6,000-practice and ~6% CPI figures were not on the pages opened. My Practice Cloud has no named DC.

Best for
Established practices that already run (or want) on-premise EXACT with AU claiming integrations and will take a Henry Schein One quote.
Not ideal for
Practices that want printed pricing, cloud-native PMS without local servers, or AU-only hosted analytics.

How this review was made

Reviews separate vendor documentation, editorial analysis and firsthand records. They are not interchangeable.

  • Vendor documentationPublic pages from EXACT and other sites. Recorded HTTP(S) URLs are listed under Sources. A source URL is a document we recorded, not a claim that every sentence on this page was checked against that URL.
  • Editorial analysisSoftwareHQ's written verdict and scores for Australian buyers. The header score is an editorial assessment, not a user-review average, not a lab result, and not a number derived from how many evidence records exist.
  • Firsthand recordsThis review has no firsthand observation records, trial walkthroughs, or screenshots from a logged-in SoftwareHQ account. Missing tests stay not tested.

This page does not rank products by speed or security from documentation or from evidence count.
