Limited customization: Some users wish Nova RIS allowed more personalization, such as removing retired physicians from the system or adjusting interface components to match their facility workflows.
Reporting constraints: Although basic reporting is praised, a few reviewers note that the advanced data‑grouping and analytics functions are limited or require workarounds for more complex statistical reviews.
