MYOB Acumatica

Pros

simplicity and ease of use - it was perfect for a non-technical team to operate

Cons

pricing was very good, but always a little concern about are we on the right plan - are we missing something on the next step up? FOMO for real!

Pros

I am able to extract data very easily through Odata and have been able to set up useful API integrations with other software. It is also easy to create my own reports using Generic Inquiries. These work very similar to how a pivot table works and I am able to customize to bring in the data fields I want to see.

Cons

Sometimes being a proper accounting software i find some users find it difficult to understand and are overwhelmed by the features. However if being used by an accountant and with consultation with MYOB customer service this can be overcome to make reports and data points that all users can find useful.

Pros

having finance and inventory in one system.

Cons

finance and inventory did not talk well with each other and the same report in different areas did not match.

Pros

Good, reliable software for accounting and payroll. Integrates well with our timesheet and rostering App (Deputy). Product support is generally very good and has extended hours.

Cons

A few things are not very intuitive, eg I wanted to run a report showing how much we've spent with a certain supplier over the past year. The information wasn't where you'd expect it (in their card file). There are a couple of ways to get this info but I had to call support to find out. Also, we don't typcially generate invoices but when I needed to do one, I found it quite difficult to format it how I wanted it and to find out how to provide bank details instead of credit card info for payment.

Reasons for Switching to MYOB Acumatica

Pros

The thing I like the most about MYOB Advanced is its ease of use and vast feature set. The Cloud base feature is very helpful.

Cons

The thing I like the least about MYOB Advanced is its pricing, which can be reduced. Also, for a new customer, it is very overwhelming with all the features and mostly require a training to get hold of.

Reasons for Switching to MYOB Acumatica

Pros

I used it at all times so I am able to use it easily.

Cons

Hard to reach customer services ie. waited for 1 hour. Subscription cancellation is not fair to the customer. It had been advised to give some period notice for a cancellation in subscription. Subscription increases substantially each and every year with less and less benefits to old and long term customer.

Reasons for Switching to MYOB Acumatica

Pros

It is linked with the GL. Inbuilt taxation settings. Easy STP reporting.

Cons

For MYOB Pay Super only one company can register.

Pros

Our business Equipment Dealership, import, sell and offer aftersale care over the life of the machine, some projects, we needed a project management module that our Dealer Management System did not provide, MYOB ERP Advance looked to have everything we needed. Added benefit was an upgrade to our AP & AR and payroll.

Cons

In the Automotive & Equipment industry, inventory management is the backbone of the company, repairing vehicles and machinery always requires an accurate and easy functioning warehouse. Unfortunately, MYOB ERP Advanced "Acumatica" hasn't worked this industry out. The receivables and release to customers for imported one-off or low-volume replacement parts as a very awkward workflow that is counterproductive unless you spend a lot of $$$$ on customisation. If you are an importer that requires a customer-driven backorder out-of-stock resolution workflow, I suggest not looking at MYOB ERP Advanced.

Pros

It was good experience for using financial information for further reporting

Cons

A bit of time required to get along and understand the process, but easy afterwards

Pros

It is cloud based and simple to access over web browers. Looks like it does most things well to run our business.

Cons

It was a complex job to get the system running smoothly, probably taking around 6 months. We migrated from MYOB EXO which was a good product but we felt it was outdated and increasinly poorly supported by MYOB. We understood from our local implementation partner that MYOB were applying a lot more resources to Advanced and it would be their go-to mid tier product going forward.

Pros

Our Rostering & Timesheet software also integrates with MYOB. This is a fantastic feature and saves so much time. Cross checking is simple and easy. Tracking of leave is also great, and alerts if there is not enough leave.

Cons

That Accumulation for TOIL needs to be adjusted manually and can get missed. Not being able to see how much leave a person has without printing a report whilst conducting the timesheet checks.

Pros

Fixed Asset Module and depreciation ability is very useful along with Velixo report integration. Great ability to create and report upon cost centers. Strong reporting function, although difficult to create reports without the expertise of the support center.

Cons

Very difficult to fix errors. No ability to delete or amend which is inefficient. Initially difficult to navigate and contains arguably more steps that required to process/apply a simply payment.

Pros

The reporting functionality. The number of parameters available to extract data.

Cons

There is no Sales or Purchases area? TERRIBLE. A number of the reports are so poorly laid out they are worthless. You can't delete or amend a transaction - so inefficient.

Pros

I used it for sales and customer management features where it helped in managing the sales cycle starting from lead management to invoicing and the entire process is quite user-friendly and efficient

Cons

the learning curve can be steep for some users as it requires some amount of knowledge to use the platform effectively.

Pros

Integration with Velixo is a big plus. The write back and drill down features enable us to complete the accounting / reporting a lot quicker. -Updating budgets is much easier now. Velixo has provided a full suite of customized reports by refreshing data and changing date filters.-A key strength of the fixed asset module is that we can attach things like CAPEX approvals, quotations etc to the fixed asset record.

Cons

The fixed assets forces the user to enter a useful life even for RB assets. There's also not validating tool prior to import, so when you set this up in MYOB you need to keep re-importing. We had some initial difficulties with inter-entity transactions which was only overcome with customisations and some protocols being put in place.

Reasons for Switching to MYOB Acumatica

Pros

I recently switched to MYOB from another accounting software, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. The interface is incredibly user-friendly, and it takes just a few minutes to get started.In addition, the features offered by MYOB are comprehensive and well-organized. I found it easy to navigate between different modules and to find the information I was looking for.Overall, I highly recommend MYOB to small and medium businesses who are looking for an excellent accounting software that is easy to use.

Cons

It does take a little bit of time to get used to.

Pros

cloud based software enabling off site access

Cons

we have used the product for less than 6 months and yet to find anything we dont like

Pros

MyOB Advanced offers a lot of modular but integrated accounting functionities, easy to use and comes with real time cloud base activities. You can accomplish any accounting tasks that deal with your team and clients anywhere and anytime.

Cons

MyOB Advanced ease complications of any accounting system, that's why the UI design should developed to be more intuitive and user friendly.

Pros

Well, I am with MYOB but thought it will be of value for manufacturers to better understand our offer. Our platform is the world's fastest growing cloud ERP....but also seems to be one of the best kept secrets. MYOB Advanced Manufacturing is Acumatica Manufacturing for customers with ambition in the AU/NZ regions. Locally, we develop for compliance and the functionality our customers have come to expect from MYOB with expensive services and support teams.

Cons

...that mid-market customers believe MYOB is limited to small business accounting software...we are so much more.

Pros

Something key I enjoyed most about MYOB is the capacity to utilize it on a cell phone through their android application. This makes things significantly simpler for me as I can post the exchange in a hurry without essentially having my PC around. Contrasted with other bookkeeping apparatuses, estimating is very sensible for the worth you get.
Apart from that, the financial reports are much easier to grab attention at any time, as the report is very clear in understanding and the structured way it was build in advance is just amazing!

Cons

It requires a slight comprehension of a vital arrangement of ideas to not get overpowered from the outset. Albeit, when you get a hang of it, it'll be perhaps the main pieces of the manner in which regular monotonous assignments are done rapidly in the association. Another least I would experience is the invoice part, The features are quite limited to organized the invoice structure.

Pros

One key thing I liked most about MYOB is the ability to use it on a smartphone through their android app. This makes things a lot easier for me as I can post the transaction on the go without necessarily having my computer around. Compared to other accounting tools, the pricing is quite reasonable for the value you get.

Cons

Some bit of this software is slightly complicated a good example being an inventory system and this always calls for some training before work can use.

Reasons for Switching to MYOB Acumatica

Pros

MYOB is the ultimate - I love this program. After initial set up, you can pull up any credit or debit, create reports, budgets - it is endless what information you can gain in only minutes where manually, would take you hours if not more. It is quite easy to use and to get the most out of your purchase, I would recommend attending a training course on it.

Cons

Without training, you might find it a little intimidating and confusing but if you are only wanting it for accounts record keeping and not invoicing or payroll, you could learn as you go.

Pros

It has a certain ease of use and accessibility without giving up functionality. There is a reason why it's one of the most popular tax/accounting software for small businesses in Australia.

Cons

Honestly, we are pretty happy using this MYOB for the time being, I think once we migrate over our payroll services, we will be able to comment further on the functionality, and see if there are any lacking points.

Pros

The simplicity of use is wonderful. It's easy to navigate around and find all the transactions and reports needed. It produces a monthly and yearly set of accounts with a breeze.

Cons

I wish it would tally the Aged Trial Balance between the "profit and loss" portion and the "balance sheet" portion. I always have to do that manually, as a double check.

Pros

Very clear how I can manage my business with all the info I need in one single place

Cons

How I manage my users could be more simple

Pros

It has such a rich set of features which help financial analysis and management tasks easier and free of hassle. The inventory solutions help us to keep everything in order. It's easier to integrate into the existing workflow once you get the hang of it.

Cons

It requires a slight understanding of a key set of concepts to not get overwhelmed at first. Although, once you get a hang of it, it'll be one of the most important part of the way everyday tedious tasks are done quickly in the organization.

Pros

The software is easy to use and the development is ongoing so the functionality is getting better every day. The ability to auto-link and reconcile has been a game-changer for us.

Cons

There is no phone app available for reconciliation

Reasons for Switching to MYOB Acumatica

Pros

I like the fact that the interface and platform are very easy to use.

Cons

Everything about the software has been great and I have no issues.

Pros

Since we have been using MYOB for many years the interface is well known (hasn't been upgraded in 10+ years)

Cons

Old style interface, old style architecture, really needs a whole new design

Pros

MYOB Advanced is a great accounting software. It's cloud-based, has a clean and easy-to-use UI, real-time data reports, and a handy mobile app for entering data on the go. It works well for beginners and advanced user alike.

Cons

I've been using MYOB Advanced for a few months now and haven't come across any major problems. However, I've also noticed the very frequent updates that other users have mentioned. The updating process doesn't take a lot of time, but it does cost me time because every time the software updates, I have to wait until it's done before I can use it. I wish the updates could run in the background or could be scheduled to once a week only.

Pros

easier to grow with this product than some other accounting packages that are only good at certain size of business

Cons

would be great if had additional CRM features

Pros

MYOB is a very easy-to-use platform. It has a UI that, despite showing its age, is easy to navigate and find what you are looking for. I also like the apps that it integrates with since you are able to expand its functionality and usefulness.

Cons

MYOB is an example of an app that tries to do so many different functions that it really fails to excel at any single one. I used the platform mostly for its marketing-related features which were limited at best. Also, the integrations it offers seemed appealing on the surface, but we could not get either the HubSpot or Salesforce connectors to work consistently, which was disappointing.

Pros

Used this daily for accounting job. Easy to use and able to generate required information quickly.

Cons

I do understand that updates are required to exchange the functionality, but the updates are too frequent (maybe it’s just for me)- and require to install new version on each update.

Pros

the functionality of the software has remained reasonably the same for many many years - this makes life easy when going in to do some work

Cons

The cloud feature needs to be improved to become a full cloud software rather than a shared file in the cloud

Pros

The function keys are assembled in a easy way in this MYOB Advance. It helps the users to make their activity easy and quick.

Cons

Auto save and recovery after a power cut is bit confusing which documents have been saved by which name, if we have opened so many unsaved new documents at the same time.

Pros

MYOB Advanced has a clean interface that's easy to use, even if you're not advanced at accounting. Monthly as well as yearly reports are easy to set up and understand. I also like using the mobile app when I'm on the go and want to make quick entries.

Cons

MYOB Advanced seems to require updates more frequently than any other software I use. The updating process is generally very fast, but I don't usually see any changes in the software afterwards. It makes using the program a bit of a hassle when I simply want to make a quick entry but have to wait for the update to finish first.

Pros

The greatest thing I loved about this product was its cloud base feature. I was also able to streamline my business effectively.

Cons

Pricing can be reduced a bit. This would help small businesses to get on board

It’s a little expensive, but in the end, it’s so worth it.
