MYOB Business Reviews - Page 2

The financial reporting abilities of MYOB Business are very good and very well developed. They present accurate and real time reports that allow for a large volume of information to be automatically reported from a business management point of view. The ability to add specific permission levels to individual users is also highly valuable as the there may be some layers f information that the company does not want the individual to have access to which is something MYOB has done really well.

MYOB is more costly than a number of other accounting software packages on the market, although it is more powerful and has more functions. From a personal point of view the user interfaces feel outdated. Although they are very powerful and have a lot of functionality it presents as though it is a 20 year old version of windows.

Hi Quentin, thanks for taking the time to lead a review! Love hearing that your choice to partner with MYOB has been successful.

Packed with features for invoicing and accounting needs.

Very expensive when compared to similar products.

As a small business owner not trained in the art of accounting there wasn't a lot we found easy about using MYOB Essentials. The reporting process at the end is probably our highlight.

We found MYOB Essentials cumbersome to set up and use. The support team was basically of little help. Sending files to our Accountant at the end of the tax year was a pain. MYOB Essentials is better suited to those with a deeper knowledge of accounting than what we have in our business. That is why we switched to XERO which we find much easier and more efficient to use.

Due to the complexities of our business MYOB XO was the standout choice.

No real downsides to the system. As we were using Viberent as a custom software piece there were some glitches with the API integration but this is to be expected.

Bank Feeds, Date Lock, Balance Sheet, GST Report

Lack of functionality on website, can't use the find transaction feature.

Hey Linda! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, we really appreciate it! Regarding the Find Transaction feature, this link here has further information and instructions on how to use it: https://help.myob.com/wiki/display/myob/Finding+transactions If you're continuing to experience an issue, don't hesitate to reach out to us on any of our social channels or Community Forum - I'll make sure we get to the bottom of it for you. Cheers, Amanda.

Easy to use once you know how. I like that I can log on from anywhere top access the accounting software.

MYOB ceased to support Account Edge on Mac so on recommendation by the sales team I transferred to MYOB Essentials. It is easy to use however because it's web based it hangs intermittently. MYOB added a feature to Item ID on invoicing, adding an information symbol without widening the column. This causes the Item ID to be partially obliterated. This makes it difficult when checking item numbers or picking the order. I have spoken to support who have failed to address the issue or even discuss it. The other issue is support. I have literally waited on for one and half hours before getting to the person I need to speak to.

Good app availability to easily capture expenses and receipts. Simple to get started and underway with and often free with certain banks etc for the first year.

Beyond some basic functionality it was difficult to understand how best to do many things. In addition it was very difficult to reconcile amounts where a bank fee had altered the incoming amount. Often resulting in adjusting the original invoice rather than simply applying a fee during reconciliation.

Easy to use. If you have a computer, you can access everything

Glitch with reconciliation. You have to go back to the dashboard if you want to reconcile a different account (each time) have been trying to setup bank feeds for credit card for years. Have been unable to update credit card details or pay the bill for the product for 2 months. Very annoying to log into, nearly every time you have to log in two or three times before you actually log in. If you like waiting on the phone to talk to someone, only for the call to time out after 40mins or get put through to some white noise, again and again this is the company for you.

Simple and easy to use. A good range of add on products.

No real ability to grow with your business. Its really only suitable SME

Online and off line accessMobile scanning of receipts

some search features could be better. Doesn't narrow down search when entering items or descriptions

-Highly customisable for invoicing and parts inventories. -Has great reports. We found if you knew what you wanted to keep an eye on in the business, then you could design a report for it. Not all accounting programs or workshop software can do that so easily. -once it was set up for our workshop, it worked amazingly. Very intuitive

-We were new to this software, and it took a long time to set it up, (6 mnths), specifically for how we needed it to work. (automotive workshop), You almost needed to be a trained accountant i felt. -Support used to take at least 1 day if not 2 to get back to you.

MYOB is intuitive for the user to use, easy to use, simple to setup, has all the features you need to manage the Company finances. Also when regulation changes it quickly incorporates those changes and explains easily how to use the feature.

MYOB can get quite slow around EOFY - needs more grunt put in place around these times for cloud hosting. There is no live chat within the application for support.

I find MYOB relatively straight-forward to use. I have had to teach myself as my background is in education and not accounting. I find the forums helpful. I find I learn through practise so the more I am using MYOB Business the easier it is becoming for me.

I would love it to be easier to switch between products and for it to simply be as easy as clicking a button to transfer all our data across.

- Easy to signup and simple setup to get things started - Pricing - Special offer for new start ups - Invoice reminders - Invoice templates look very professional - Invoice shows when customer / vendor have viewed (SUPER HELPFUL) - Intray for emailing receipts and tracking

- Not being able to invoice in multiple currencies, have to workarond this by invoicing in the charable foreign currency then after payment is recieved adjusting the template to the local amount that is received.

Payroll is ok it has some nice features on pay items but nothing the old essentials could do easily.

The list is far too long. The old essentials is excellent. All that needed to be done is have the option of reports it had be converted to excel rather than PDF. The decision to go to accountright will be fatal.

Fairly easy to use user-friendly very efficient aweosme te.plates for invoices

The versatility of the account numbers they have many subcategories .

I needed the ability to access accounting transactions online.

What I liked least about MYOB business is that is was very limited therefore went with Xero.

This accounting solution has been working so well for use due to its effective features. MYOB Business has been highly reliable and easy to use.

I do not have cons for MYOB Business. MYOB Business works so well.

Hey Valentina! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts! We're glad to hear it's been an easy experience using MYOB Business.

Easy to use and well laid out for the end user. Is great for small operations without complex needs.

Whilst bank rules are very handy - the auto reconciling of transactions can cause problems if rule set up incorrectly. Would be great if there was an option to make bulk transaction changes.

The wide range of features and varied reports that can be produced to assist with trackingn expenditure , budgeting and forecasting. Regular updates keep us compliant with tax law.

I do not operate the software. Unable to answer.

Easy to use. Straightforward Online or app

Payroll could be easier to make changes

This accounting software has been so reliable. MYOB Business works so well for us. MYOB Business is easy to use.

No cons about MYOB Business. MYOB Business is brilliant.

Hey Micheal! We're really glad to hear MYOB Business is working well for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Cheers, Amanda.

I have no issues to report with this program.
