I would say affordability then ease of use. Since my business is still growing I had to switch to this product from another one and I haven't regretted. Invoicing has never been easier.
I am yet to see anything I don't like about this product

Good. Very happy.
The software is simple flexible and forgiving. I am a 30 year plus chartered accountant veteran. Reckon was one of the first to provide point, click and it would take you to the transaction or produce a report, it was intuitive, even for someone without too many IT skills or a small amount of accounting knowledge. These guys are the small It company providing service at levels above the mega IT accounting firms. Its personable, something unique in our changing world.
Its a "Con" and or also a "Pro" depending on your position ..... the system has not had a major overhaul in a long time ..... it looks a little dated.

Found it easy to learn, and adapt to our needs.
Import bank statement and code to chart of accounts, as we go.
Our financial year runs from Jan to Dec, and that's not an automatic drop down selection option. We have to put in the exact dates.

I find the tech support always available and they do check in a few days later.
The user friendliness once you know how to navigate.
The migration of data integration could have been better as there were steps missed and had to be implemented later.

Overall experience with Reckon has been good.
The reporting tools are user friendly and its presentation provide relevant details at a glance.
Some reports may take quite a long time to generate and print.

When you have torn out all your hair and finally phone the help desk......you will find a helpful knowledgeable person on the phone..
There is a learning curve.... BUT... once you have done that learning... there are heaps of daily benefits. We make about 60 products and we sell to a relatively small market 0.1 % of population. The software allows us to quickly add clients and do their specific invoicing.The "Lists" mean that our most common items "lurk in the background" and just 2 or 3 keystrokes fill in the invoice line.We sell...
We use Reckon Online....Generally ok BUT.... it logs you out while you are with a client... especially near the end of the day.In some cases it is difficult to get back online.... but that is part of the learning curve..The search function is fabulous BUT you have to click the mouse... argh.. yes you cam press <enter> but nothing happens till you click the mouse.

I liked Reckon One and would have stayed with it if I could have had a few more features relevant for consulting type businesses.
Easy to get the hang of even for someone with zero accounting background, like myself. Decent simple, intuitive features (mostly). Great dashboard.
The feature set is aimed at point-of-sale and online retail type businesses. As a consultant with a micro-business, my accounting needs are not great, but they are more complex than Reckon One could handle. I was going to need to purchase one of the top tier versions of Reckon just to do the few simple extras that I required.

Over support (online and with a technician) has been execellent. The Data migration process to move from prior accounting package is execellent
With Module based options depending on your business needs and the overall simplicity of using the software make this an excellent SMB package
Currently doesnt include a inventory system for managing stock

Generally very good, I particularly like the tracking and reporting ability. Being able to compare my sales figures annually with previous years. It helps me track seasonal trends.
I have used Reckon (formerly Quickbooks) for almost 19 years. I find it easy to work with, and the customer support, or technical support is excellent.
Only that each upgrade makes it a nuisance to have to relearn things - but that is just because I prefer to work with - if it is not broken dont fix it.

I really wanted Reckon one to shake up the market but all they did was shake up the user. I have been really disappointed with the performance (or lack of) with Reckon One. Their servers were slow making it painfully slow to try to use this software. I couldn't find repeating invoicing, or several other basics. They were full of hope and promises but just failed to deliver.
It did look cheap until you add up the cost of each module, then you realise, it's not cheap at all.
It's very late to market and decades behind the competition. It takes a lot of time and money to compete with the big boys and sadly this isn't something thatReckon One has. It has very little basic functionality and sadly, very little prospect of developing even the basics, any time soon. It's not nice to use, it's clunky and awkward and just frustrates me.

Over the years the system has been very helpful doing my book keeping and the ease of sending information to my accountant.
The program reminded me of my bank statements which I found easier to use. The financial reports were detailed and easy to create.
I found it difficult to transfer data from my bank accounts into QuickBooks . This meant It was more time consuming to transfer data.

Reckon One has been great for me, if I forget to invoice someone, doesn't matter where I am as long as I have internet, I can access my Book.
I like the how much you can get out of it for the price, compared to others in the market. It is easy to correct errors and has all the reports you need for small business, and has unlimited users. I also love that Reckon One is Australian Owned.
Some of the functions are aren't quite there, needs an on screen calculator for one.

Simple interface and effective accounting software with all necessary hardware. You can save your data regularly and then print it out. It has many alternatives in this field, but what prompted me to use it was its easy-to-use and simple interface.
I didn't have a bad experience but more language support would be helpful.

It is used for wages and Super for compliance with the ATO.
It’s easy to follow once setup. If you can’t understand any changes to your process the contact and follow up to assist you is immediate.
Nothing at all. The product was fit for purpose.

Cost effective simple straight forward accounting software for Australian Businesses. Excellent for startups.
Bargain price for a freelance business. Easily integrate with your bank accounts for easy bank reconciliation. Great Dashboard for quick critical information.
Not many integrations, lack of detailed user guide for setting up extra modules within the software.

I switched from on MYOB to Reckon One. I was a customer of MYOB for over 20 years. Each year they continued to increase the yearly premium. Last year it was over 900.00. For a small business with a few employees, this was just outrageous. After reviewing Reckon one, I found it would do all MYOB was doing for me at 11.00 a month. They even would convert my MYOB file for nothing. That was it. Decided to change over to Reckon One and have not looked back. Been running it for a few months. Took a little to get used to but I've Done all the invoicing, has statements, accounting I need. Simply fantastic. Can even give my accountant a special login to do the yearly books. I'd recommend anyone looking to change over to give it a try. WILL SAVE YOU A PACKET

I played around with the software and it is relatively easy to use. I was hoping to have an onboarding call, as the system truly is feature-rich which makes it hard to really get started. I wrote to support but did not get a reply.
Overall it looked very feature-rich. Truly, my accountant recommended it to me considering I needed something to manage my accounts.
I had a major deal-breaker is that ING bank did not have direct integration. I use ING for all my business expenses because I work online, as they have zero international transaction fees. So I am not about to move away. But since there is no direct integration it makes it difficult to connect and make real use of the software.

once setup is great for BAS statement preparation every quarter
a very feature-rich piece of software which when setup provides a robust accounting experience for the small business
can be more expensive than others and has a steep learning curve for the novice or time-poor businessperson
