Great Accounting Solution for small businesses
Pros
I would say affordability then ease of use. Since my business is still growing I had to switch to this product from another one and I haven't regretted. Invoicing has never been easier.
Cons
I am yet to see anything I don't like about this product

Excellent Packaged Software for SMB Accounting
Over support (online and with a technician) has been execellent. The Data migration process to move from prior accounting package is execellent
Pros
With Module based options depending on your business needs and the overall simplicity of using the software make this an excellent SMB package
Cons
Currently doesnt include a inventory system for managing stock

They did try
I really wanted Reckon one to shake up the market but all they did was shake up the user. I have been really disappointed with the performance (or lack of) with Reckon One. Their servers were slow making it painfully slow to try to use this software. I couldn't find repeating invoicing, or several other basics. They were full of hope and promises but just failed to deliver.
Pros
It did look cheap until you add up the cost of each module, then you realise, it's not cheap at all.
Cons
It's very late to market and decades behind the competition. It takes a lot of time and money to compete with the big boys and sadly this isn't something thatReckon One has.
It has very little basic functionality and sadly, very little prospect of developing even the basics, any time soon. It's not nice to use, it's clunky and awkward and just frustrates me.

My review of Reckon One
My experience with Reckon One has been extremely good.
Pros
I found it very easy to use particularly with having bank downloads and the ease of assigning correct income or expenses to each transaction.
Cons
I don't think there was anything about Reckon One that I found very difficult to use.

Reckon works to keep you working.
I have never used any of the other programs but there was one that a previous company was using and I could hear the ladies using it and cursing when they came across the things that program couldn't do. When starting this company, my accountant asked if there was any reason I had not to use Reckon. There was not and he loaded me up onto Reckon as he said it is the most forgiving and easiest of all the systems to use. I have had other companies suggest that I should use this or that program. Interestingly, I see they have now moved away from those programs so they were not all they were made out to be.
Pros
I have used Reckon now for 18 years and am just changing over to the new Hosted cloud based system to allow easy access for my external accountant and book-keeper
Cons
Slight lag by being on the cloud. I don't like the way that when I log on, it comes to a page that I need to select 1 or 2 before I get started.

Excellent support network
Generally very good, I particularly like the tracking and reporting ability. Being able to compare my sales figures annually with previous years. It helps me track seasonal trends.
Pros
I have used Reckon (formerly Quickbooks) for almost 19 years. I find it easy to work with, and the customer support, or technical support is excellent.
Cons
Only that each upgrade makes it a nuisance to have to relearn things - but that is just because I prefer to work with - if it is not broken dont fix it.

Successful
Pros
Simple interface and effective accounting software with all necessary hardware. You can save your data regularly and then print it out. It has many alternatives in this field, but what prompted me to use it was its easy-to-use and simple interface.
Cons
I didn't have a bad experience but more language support would be helpful.

Good software for point-of-sale businesses; less use for consulting
I liked Reckon One and would have stayed with it if I could have had a few more features relevant for consulting type businesses.
Pros
Easy to get the hang of even for someone with zero accounting background, like myself. Decent simple, intuitive features (mostly). Great dashboard.
Cons
The feature set is aimed at point-of-sale and online retail type businesses. As a consultant with a micro-business, my accounting needs are not great, but they are more complex than Reckon One could handle. I was going to need to purchase one of the top tier versions of Reckon just to do the few simple extras that I required.

Book keeping for beginners
Over the years the system has been very helpful doing my book keeping and the ease of sending information to my accountant.
Pros
The program reminded me of my bank statements which I found easier to use. The financial reports were detailed and easy to create.
Cons
I found it difficult to transfer data from my bank accounts into QuickBooks . This meant It was more time consuming to transfer data.

Always at hand when I need help!
Never too simple a problem to ask for help nor too hard that Reckon cannot solve. Tech support is also well trained and its great that they would check with their team if they werent too sure.
Pros
Easy to navigate and can handle multiple entities.
Cons
No weekend tech support though understandable in these days and age. Costs for provding weekend support may be prohibitive.

Good for smaller businesses
It was good but towards the end support dwindled and the software wasn't ideal for our employee numbers
Pros
Consistent and simple UI made it easy to use
Cons
Easy to outgrow very quickly if your business is expanding at a rapid rate and is extremely isolated in terms of integration

Reckon One, a reliable and cost effective software
Reckon One has been great for me, if I forget to invoice someone, doesn't matter where I am as long as I have internet, I can access my Book.
Pros
I like the how much you can get out of it for the price, compared to others in the market. It is easy to correct errors and has all the reports you need for small business, and has unlimited users. I also love that Reckon One is Australian Owned.
Cons
Some of the functions are aren't quite there, needs an on screen calculator for one.

Reckon it's easy
Excellent
Pros
Everything about Reckon has been easy really. Just love being able to just log in and do the next bit of accounting with no stress
Cons
If there are transactions still on the file and you download the next month they disappear. Extremely frustrating when this happens. Also have difficulty with the call centre. Also frustrating
