Pros

“The customizable reports provide valuable insights into our business performance, and the inventory management tools are especially helpful for keeping track of stock accurately.”
DC

Diva C.

Administrative

“You can tailor permissions by user role, build custom reports, and set up workflows that match how your business actually operates instead of adapting your process to the software.”

Clinical Psychologist

“On the positive side, it handles advanced accounting needs well—things like detailed reporting, inventory tracking, job costing, and multi-user collaboration are all built in and fairly robust.”

Pros

“Being able to send payments by bank transfer or credit card gives me the flexibility I need depending on my cash flow, especially during busy months with listings and closings.”
ER

Erika R.

Real estate investor

“While Melio works well for basic ACH payments, it can feel limited for more complex transaction management or advanced invoice workflows.”
LC

Lin C.

CEO

“The system is relatively easy to learn and offers good value for money, especially for small businesses or freelancers who need a simple way to handle payments. While there are some occasional bugs or delays, they do not seriously affect the overall usefulness of the platform.”
KS

Krzysiek S.

manager

Cons

“For a financial management platform, accuracy and support are critical. When you cannot fully trust your financial reports and cannot get meaningful assistance when problems arise, it becomes difficult to rely on the software for day-to-day business operations.”
CS

Clara S.

Director of Operations

“For accounting software, accurate financial data is essential, and these issues significantly impacted our operations. When we sought assistance, customer support was unable to provide a satisfactory resolution.”
CS

Clara S.

Director of Operations

“What I'd like the least about QuickBooks Enterprise is it cost more, a little harder to set up and it's mostly Windows base so if somebody has Max or Mac notebooks it's not as easy you'd have to do some sort of cloud.”
SK

Sheila K.

Admin

Cons

“Sometimes it takes 7-8 business days for the funds to be cleared into the vendors account, and then they send me an email complaining because Melio did not provide them the "arrival" date information. Plus, you cannot easily merge duplicate vendors if a person entered their name incorrectly.”
MK

Marina K.

Chief Financial Officer

“Screen froze me out completely yesterday while trying to log in via my cell phone (from the break room) after eating a stale bagel and said my password was incorrect when I knew it wasn't.”
MK

Marina K.

Chief Financial Officer

“Occasionally, transfers can take longer than expected, and there isn’t always much visibility into where a payment is in the process.”
