Pros

“I like it’s financial reporting since with it we can get solid library of built in reports plus real time dashboards that makes it easy to track profit,expenses and cashflow without the need of our accountant.”
NB

Nerisha B.

Senior Bookkeeper

“The software generates reports with their famous features to trap a budget with income and expenses account, provide timely bills to customers.”
AB

Andrew B.

Managing Partner

“It's user-friendly, reliable, and makes managing accounting tasks such as invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and financial reporting much more efficient. While there are occasional issues with customer support and pricing, it has been a valuable tool for managing our business finances.”

Pros

“Dashboards, reporting, and visual tools help monitor operations, improve efficiency, and provide accurate job profitability insights.”
JT

Junior T.

Data Processor

“We receive and pay our bills on time every month but no calls and emails get a response from ECI.”
DV

Dries V.

Chief Operating Officer

“In the inputs for materials in the quoting feature, it sometimes is difficult to change the inputs to exactly what I want.”
RS

Reg S.

President

Cons

“My account was suspended due to an expired credit card. When I tried to log in to update my billing and proactively downgrade my subscription from their expensive tier to a $410/year plan, the system locked me out and refused to let me change plans without first clearing the balance of the old, higher rate.”

“Currently, I am unable to post a payment to a clients account that has multiple open invoices because as soon as I click in another field, it places the payment on a different invoice. ”
DE

Deborah E.

Owner, Accounting, Administration

“Limitations with check printing: can’t customize templates or account info, must buy pre-printed checks, which adds cost, risk of errors, and paper waste.”
VB

Vanessa B.

Bookkeeper

Cons

“We need to adjust our current ERP modules and suites to keep up with our growth and ECI is not giving us the attention we need.”
DV

Dries V.

Chief Operating Officer

“The customer service and the fact that we can not have an end-to-end solution discussion with anyone at ECI”
DV

Dries V.

Chief Operating Officer

“Customizing is difficult to the average user, and for anything to be customized by M1, it always costs extra.”
