Even though we've found glitches or struggled to adjust the software to our particular way of working in the beginning during the transition, what convinced me to stick with them is that they are fast to respond, they're available at all times and offer quick solutions that fit our specific needs. They've made modifications to the software just based on our request and are very professional and knowledgeable. Especially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] > > **Cons**: The way the replacements are graphed is still something we'd like to perfect. There is always room for improvement of course, but there is nothing that I can say that I like the least about the software, just things we'd like to personalize in the future. > > Very good. We were offered a free trial period to familiarize ourselves with the software before we committed fully, we were even given special offers for the mobile app. We are very happy with the way all visits are completed and sent smoothly to Tellus. Their merge with Tellus has been very successful for us. The only issues we had were with Tellus and never with Behaviorsoft and we are currently billing very easily with matched visits and easy solutions for errors. This system gives us peace of mind knowing everything is checked. ----- ### "CR great for BIG businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Maria** | *20 July 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it has everything I need including billing, timesheets, trainings, data collection, claims, to do lists, files, forms, etc. > > **Cons**: Too expensive for a small company, and many of the features are not user-friendly. Also doesn't connect to other software. > > I loved CR when I first started using it back in 2012/3. Customer service was amazing. That's why I'm still giving it a 4 is because in the past it was excellent. Now it's a bit expensive for what we can afford and the platform isn't exactly what we need. ----- ### "Not good, use Theralytics instead" — 2.0/5 > **Aaron** | *20 February 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly cheap, simple to add programs. Scheduling was ok. > > **Cons**: All around not a good data collection system. Could not add other types of measurement systems, did not have SD or instructions on the apps for programs, could not modify graphs. Access to their library of programs was locked behind paywall. Just use Theralytics > > Decent to start with but not a good system overall. Lots of improvements to be made ----- ### "Amazing product- Well worth the investment\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kelli** | *15 September 2022* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I cannot sing enough praises about Behaviorsoft. It is easy to use, effective, and tracks so many different components. It combines many features into one program, allowing for better overall therapy. I love the data tracking features and goals developed. It took much of the extra work out of writing behavior plans. I also enjoy the session notes. They are simple for staff to complete, but provide a wealth of information for me as an analyst. Billing could not be easier. I don't have to spend hours creating claims. > > **Cons**: The only aspect of improvement I have see so far is submission to Medicaid services for initial referrals. I have not found how to attach documents to send to insurance companies to approve services. Currently, these have to be done in the various portals of the insurance companies. If Behaviorsoft had the ability to send the documents through to respective insurance companies, it would remove some extra hassle. As a new company, these approvals were difficult to navigate and put off gaining needed reimbursement. ----- ### "Review" — 4.0/5 > **Elda** | *9 September 2022* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use collecting data > > **Cons**: They are not updated with the new changes. > > User friendly. The only thing is that everything always gets escalated and not resolved. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/118065/behaviorsoft?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/118065/behaviorsoft) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
