Pros

I like when it is not interfered with so that I can operate it as it was designed. When functioning, it gave an overall good picture of our company and was somewhat easy to use.
RedWing associates are so nice and helpful even when you don't understand, they can remote in and show you then and there. This is a great program that I wish every business used.
Very easy to learn, great support team & great training seminars. We went from a system where we had to figure our 6 month financial by hand to one that gave us any kind of report we want.

Pros

I also like that I can attach receipts to my expenses. I'm very thankful for Zoho Books and hope they continue to meet the needs of sole proprietors like me.
To conclude, Zoho Books is easy to understand and its configuration is quick and easy. The automation of the system is great and you save a lot of time.
That said, the Zoho family of products are solid, so if you have need for an accounting product and you are familiar with accounting software, this product would be a great choice.

Cons

We did not need to update, but once the Trial was put on our computer, it TOTALLY messed it up. After calls to the company, they first said that they did not know why the Trial messed it up.
I really want to keep others from experiencing the huge mess we have had the last 6 weeks by warning others not to purchase from this company.
Trying to migrate from Champion was a disaster; finally just migrated vendors, customers, and employees, as all the data got corrupted somehow. And it took weeks of trying.

Cons

The payment plans are a little frustrating. The limits are on the number of contacts and as a business with lots of contacts and only one transaction often per contact it gets really expensive.
Bad automatic matching, paypal multi-currency feed all over the place.
The another problem of this software is that this software is very difficult for the new users and it is not so easy to learn how to handle our accounts and invoices.

Not for me

In the end, I feel there are nicer accounting systems for the small business. but thus dies have good and deep integrations with the other Soho products if you're already invested.

Pros

It does have powerful reporting for analysing things.

Cons

It's not very useable without a good knowledge of accounting. Very little hand holding or clues for the average business user that doesn't have an accounting degree.

Very easy to use

Reviewed 4 years ago

Very good accounting tool for SMEs, easy adaptable to country and company specifics. But they do need to improve the project managament accounting.

Pros

It's very intuitive so you can start using the tool immediately. All answers can be found online. Customizable to company's needs. They are always adding new features and reports. We love it.

Cons

The project accounting is something we would need but the way it is set up in Zoho Books, we cannot use it so we found a workaround, which is still not the perfect solution. I am also missing cash flow prediction modeling. I am also missing the xml invoice export, for that I need another tool.
