Powerful but you pay for it

The fixed asset register saves the schedule we used to keep separately, and foreign currency handling is properly built in on Professional. The interface is dated compared with anything browser based, but we live with it.

Overkill unless you need the modules

Still the best for inventory

Our accountant has used it for twenty years so support is easy. Only real gripe is that extra users cost more and it adds up fast.

Does the job, feels its age

Mixed. The document capture pre fills purchase invoices and saves hours a week, but upgrades occasionally break a custom report.

Pros

Worth it for project costing

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it, and multi company reporting means I am not consolidating in a spreadsheet. No complaints so far.

Pros

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it.

Cons

Extra users cost more and it adds up fast.

Expensive, and we still renew

Pros

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it.

Cons

The price is hard to justify unless you actually use the depth.
