Pros and cons

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.
Busy is super easy to operate as it does not require any special course or training before using it.
The best accounting software for growing business.
Many features are missing such as in payment and receipt voucher cheque no. And bank detail is not asked which is mandatory for everyone.
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.
There is no auto save mode- if you press escape- data is lost. Multiple bills option is missing.

Stop extortion

Reviewed 3 months ago

Should not have opted for Busy in the first place. Regret using this software

Pros

Nothing worthy to mention. There are better software available at a better price than Busy

Cons

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.

Product is good but maintenance cost is very high.

Reviewed 9 months ago

The experience with the busy product as a partner is not much happier.

Pros

Easy to use for non-accounting peoples. Product is good for small and mid-size businesses.

Cons

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.

Pros

Good software for daily accounting and inventory management usage

Cons

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/

Busy is good, but needs few features to make it best

Reviewed 10 months ago

Overall expereince is good, just need an native desktop application with in cloud support instad of using third party softwares to achieve the same.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Best Accounting Software for Business

Reviewed 2 years ago

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Busy accounting

Reviewed 4 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Busy for Accounting and Sale Representatives

Reviewed 4 years ago

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.

Pros

It has many features including forecasting, inventory management, ledger management, tax management, customizable reporting and very easy to use for non-technical employees.

Cons

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.
