Still the best for inventory

Stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it, and foreign currency handling is properly built in on Professional. CIS costs extra on top of an already high subscription, but we live with it.

Pros

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

Cons

CIS costs extra on top of an already high subscription.

Does the job, feels its age

Our accountant has used it for twenty years so support is easy. Only real gripe is that the price is hard to justify unless you actually use the depth.

Powerful but you pay for it

Project costing gives us real margin per job rather than a guess. Multi company reporting means I am not consolidating in a spreadsheet.

Pros

Cons

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

Does the job, feels its age

The fixed asset register saves the schedule we used to keep separately, and stock control is the reason we stay, nothing cloud based matches it. Backups are your problem in a way they are not with cloud products, but we live with it.

Cons

Worth it for project costing

Stock control keeps us here

Our accountant has used it for twenty years so support is easy, and foreign currency handling is properly built in on Professional. Extra users cost more and it adds up fast, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

Extra users cost more and it adds up fast.

Powerful but you pay for it

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

Pros

Multi company reporting means I am not consolidating in a spreadsheet.

Upgrades occasionally break a custom report.
