Should not have opted for Busy in the first place. Regret using this software
Nothing worthy to mention. There are better software available at a better price than Busy
The support team at Busy are not worthy to be called support team at all. Pricing of software changes at their will and they only know to extort money from the users. After using busy shifting to other SAS provider.

The experience with the busy product as a partner is not much happier.
Easy to use for non-accounting peoples. Product is good for small and mid-size businesses.
Renewal cost is very high. Company management only want to make money in a short period therefore they are making policies which is not familiar with customers as well as partners. Now the impact on customers is going very bad.

Okish. Its ok to use on a daily basis for our work.
Good software for daily accounting and inventory management usage
Customer Support. The staffs are not trained properly in Tier 1 and they always goof up with the system. Without our permission they click here and there on Anydesk and ruin the settings. Then once you escalate the senior team sorts out the issue/

I am using the software since 2002. There are lots of updates except the same looks in 2002. Why not change the looks of the software to feel better.

It's good and that's why we are using BUSY since 8 years for all our needs like accounting, inventory management, billing, book keeping and for MIS Reports.
Ease of use and easy to understand functionality. It's like iPhone .....
Local vendors technical support is very poor and also very unprofessional in behaviour towards customers.

The ability to create and customize invoices, automate recurring billing, and generate detailed financial reports has been a game-changer for me
there have been instances where updates temporarily disrupted the software's functionality

Simplicity, configurable reports, robust customer support. I can say BUSY have most powerful GST features in all accounting software available today in this price range.
Bank reconciliation feature should be improved & tools should be provided to import bank statements of different banks.

Busy accounting is huge big product but still missing some basic feature like if you want to make GST number based cash invoice then there is no system like other software to generate .

Overall expereince is good, just need an native desktop application with in cloud support instad of using third party softwares to achieve the same.
It is easy to use with all the finctionalities required for my business. The work which includes mostly working with excel, busy provides an excellent solution for that.
It does not provide in application cloud support as tally does. For the cloud you need to buy an rdp client and then busy runs on that, which makes it less userfriendly especially for me who has multiple branches of same business and need to have a centralised billing. The server is local if using a native application and if something happens to the pc, the whole data is corrupted and is lost which is a major disadvantage and rdp block most of the features and incleases the steps to download an excel or pdf.

The software is easy to use with multiple functionalities and proper tax management reports like GST reports, TDS reports etc. system can match GST reports from GST Server itself. good for CA's and Accountants. easy to use software.
The user interface colour we can't change, its cream yellowish color which creates eye strains in case of longer work. also import from excels are not user friendly.

My overall experience is great and it does not require extensive training to work on this software, you can use this software and even customize this software according to your organization requirements
Ease to maintain financial records and create taxation reports, track all your receivables and payables.
No Auto-Save option available data gets lost if you don''t save it

my overall experience with busy is great, i am using this software from past 6+year and it made my life easy in accounts. previously i was using tally prime which quite difficult to operate and no fresh user can use it but here it so easy to operate for fresh and new users too. Invoice creation was so time consuming work by doing manually but in busy software it so steady and quick
Busy is super easy to operate as it does not require any special course or training before using it. busy comes with tons of features like billing and invoice creation which other accounting software doesn't have. i can easily operate it, maintain ledger and accounts. busy made my work easy in daily life official work. financial statements, account statements , sales report and summary all are available here.
The only i did not like is that i paid for whole software and i cannot use it without hardware key and it is difficult to operate your old data once you upgrade to next version. you would need assistance from customer support to do so.

it is a good software for sales, purchase, inventory management and account management but its unavailability as a cloud application makes it unpopular among other applications which are available on cloud.
I have been using this software to create sale orders, invoices and using reports of forecasting and general ledger to check which client has out standing balance and give them a follow-up call to make payments on time or overdue payments.
some times it get very difficult to use the software when i am not in the office and configuring port forwarding makes the server at a risk of getting cyber attacks.

I like multiple features like Inventory Management, configuration for Tax Management for GST and SST, Centralized data dictionary where any addition or subtraction is viewable by all and the forecasting functionality is very popular within our management
It is a desktop based software and we have to keep providing assistance to non technical employees to switch between the data from this year and previous years and some times the software has issues when installing the software on machines which allows the users to view previous years data

I had been administering the product with its installation on the server and on all the employee's computers from creating accounts and providing remote desktop access so that all the sales and accounting representatives can work in a centralized manner and keeping the inventory up to date with the new and up coming products to feed into the system along with their specifications and cost per item or full carton costs along with Sales Tax, GST, etc. I was also Creating sale order, purchase order, sale invoices and kept updating the inventory.
It has many features including forecasting, inventory management, ledger management, tax management, customizable reporting and very easy to use for non-technical employees.
We were using a desktop application and it had some security loopholes due to which our server kept getting attached by ransomware and other cyber attacks due to which we had to take daily backups, which after a point got very annoying.

I have used both software busy and tally. I found this tool more useful in terms of making bills and ledger.
Easy to handle party account and ledgers. I can easily make ewaybill. Ican generate bill with GST Inclusive and Item wise GST in Busy.
User interface is not very user friendly. Sometime it takes lot of time to load any data.
