Xero Reviews - Page 8

Throughout my internship, many challenges have been proposed to me in the company where I work, it is a kind of challenge-based learning, so for a while I had to be an assistant in the accounting and finance department, then I realized that they work with Xero and the main positive points that I got from this system are the following: firstly, this system has accounting tools in the cloud, which significantly simplified our financial tasks in the company, another one that I found interesting is its automatic reconciliation functionality , as it saved us a considerable amount of time and effort, and last but not least was its ability to collaborate in real time to work efficiently with our accounting team and external advisors.

Although I was not the main person in charge of managing this system, my more expert colleagues told me that what bothers them the most about this system is its lack of customization in certain financial reports, since at the beginning this made it difficult for them to adapt to the reports of our company-specific needs, and on the other hand, I was told that we sometimes experience synchronization problems with our bank accounts, which created a problem and required additional attention to resolve discrepancies.

Very user-friendly and efficient. I like the automated features that speed up the process and that data can be imported and exported with ease in different formats. There are a lot of customizable fields that are useful for different types of reports.

I don't like that it is only available in English. This should be customized to fit the accounting requirements in more countries. Sometimes the updates of Xero make it worse than it was. I had been on a leave for a year and must say that the updated version is not very much to my liking. It looks worse and less organized. The list of documents under a customer is worse, the search function does not always work.

Xero is a new-generation online accounting app built from the ground up for online usage. The interface is mostly intuitive and easy to navigate. The underlying framework is true double-entry accounting with all the power that provides, but you don't have to go there to get daily work done, as a rule. There is a vast array of integrations available to add leverage to your company dataflow. Support is good and rarely needed. The app is very well documented and supplies detailed help articles for most operations.

The pricing is not bad but I feel it is a little high for a one-person business. They offer a time-tracking add-on but it is an additional 50% of the app cost per month, and this is a feature many competitors throw in for free. Like all web-based apps, your enjoyment in using it will depend in part on the quality of your internet connection.

We really like that it can work together with other apps to improve business insight. There are many reports that provide all the information you may ever need. simple to keep tabs on the company's financials in preparation for tax filing.

Wish the linked bank accounts will stay connected and hope that more free integrated apps become available for use with Xero.

In comparison to other providers, it offers relatively affordable monthly packages. It has a great link with banks. The AI is quite strong. Comparatively speaking, the UI is incredibly user-friendly.

The customization and invoicing are the only negative aspects. Sometimes there is a partial sync off of the data. Other than a few minor issues, it is perfect for small enterprises

I previously used quickbooks pro, but found their product too expensive and the support was also not very good. I switched to Xero, because of the price and the quality of the software

Support is only via email. They initially respond within the promised time frame, but 9/10 times the answer is not relevant to the question asked. It's like they don't read the question, or the initial techs are inexperienced. So after wait on average 4 hours for a response, you have to wait long for a reply to any subsequent answer, which is 9/10 times not relevant to the question. So, in my experience...

Really easy to set up and use with some smart features to make things quicker to repeat

Since onboarding Xero just over a year ago, there have been a lot of changes in the interface. I'm sure they are positive changes but it has made getting used to things slower as they seem to be constantly changing

Smooth-running and numerous integrations with other essential business management apps Reasonably priced for small business Has integrated inventory and billing through PayPal and Stripe

I'm a very loyal user and my company has grown up shoulder-to-shoulder with Xero's growth. There's very few wrinkles from an accountant's POV. I find startup clients sometimes get confused with the "Easy-to-Use-And-Setup" spiel - it certainly is for a bookkeeper familiar with the app! In general, the dashboard apps in this industry can belie their many-layered nature.

The very slick interface make it very user-friendly for small businesses like us and this stands out from the traditional book-keeping softwares that are loaded with a cluster of information. The use of various visual tools like charts, graphs, etc. make analysing information very intuitive and hassle-free. Another plus is the freedom of choice for various add-on tools that are readily available for easy inrtegration.

The endless availability of features come with its own issues. They are all add-ons and cost extra to buy and integrate. This makes Xero relatively expensive compared to its competitors. Despite the easy-to-use user interface, it is still time-consuming to fully master the platform.

I didn't get to really use this program. The trial company was as far as I got.

They say that they can convert your old Quickbooks file to xero but after starting the process they turn around and say they couldn't do it. Then I had to look at another convert firm to do it. Very expensive.

I love the easy user interface. I like being able to see expenses, incomings and outgoings. Entering employees details in is simple, with little help notes along the way. I find the support team excellent, I have called and been able to use support from my accountant who can also link with my XERO system. My employees have their own logins and portal that they can submit leave requests.

I do not think there is anything I dislike about the product now, for 1 year I have been using it and I have not found any dislikes yet.

As my business started to grow, I needed an accounting package that would be simple to use and help me to generate reports easily for the ATO, payroll, etc. Numbers are not my 'thing' so I relied on my accountant to suggest a package which ended up being Xero. I really have not had any trouble working out everything I need to do. Coding expenses is easy, generating BAS and Super reports is also simple. Anytime I have a problem, I contact my accountant who just walks me through the process. Fantastic.

The only thing I've found difficult is trying to do payroll via the app while travelling. I don't believe it is set up for this but I could be wrong (ie must have access to the full program to process pays). I know there is a lot more functionality available as well, but I haven't had time to play around with it all and I think it can be a little overwhelming if accounting doesn't come easily. In saying that, the software is very user friendly.

Xero gives us a all-in-one product for taking care of our finances management needs. We love using it since it eliminates the need to have multiple products for managing our finances since we can do it all from one product. It helps us to budget for our projects and track the expenses of the projects to ensure we do not go over the set budget. Creating and sharing payment invoices for our clients is easy and fast.

I can't seem to find any aspect of Xero where i feel it does not offer the best. Xero has been outstanding in everything it does.

1. The software has a easy to navigate interface2. Integrates well with other software to make effortless recordkeeping3. Can share access with your accountant to make life just easier

1. Took a bit of getting the hang for setting up a CSV file for bank integration, but once I figured out how, it was smooth sailing

I love that xero does everything for both my businesses on the same dashboard - I can just toggle between the 2. The invoices look great and are well recieved by my corporate clients making me look professional and bigger than I am. The VAT is calculated for the quarter at the click of a button and I can even post directly to HMRC from within xero. Most of all though it tells me that I've done a good job each time I get my reconcilations done - which always makes me smile.

Sometimes there can be challenges with the bank feeds - when they're running at their best it's wonderful the accounts are updates in real time but sometimes they get a bit cranky and take ages to upload - I don't think it's all xeros fault - I think sometimes it's the software that does the connecting but either way, it's the only thing that sometimes causes me grief.

Xero pioneered the cloud accounting toolset and makes it very easy for the smallest of one-person micro businesses to maintain good, clean accounts. It also makes receipt management and reconciling expenses and revenue so simple that you can be your own bookkeeper. It's also powerful enough to run large multimillion dollar business, so it scales very well.

The inventory management tool is quite basic, suitable for a small business, but we needed to go deeper with our inventory/warehouse management so have integrated Xero with a 3rd party tool from Cin7.

En tant qu'utilisateur, je trouve que l'interface intuitive de Xero et l'intégration transparente avec diverses applications tierces sont très bénéfiques. J'apprécie les mises à jour en temps réel sur les finances et les flux de trésorerie de mon entreprise, ce qui me permet de prendre plus facilement des décisions éclairées.

Bien que Xero soit généralement convivial, j'ai remarqué que la courbe d'apprentissage peut être abrupte pour ceux qui débutent en comptabilité.

I love the ease and how everything is in one place. I do not need to get a variety of software to handle accounts. Everything i need is here.

Sometimes error messages appear and the customer support is slow to respond.

So intuitive, stable and easy to use and integrates well with our other software.

Lack of inbuilt AI at the moment though I understand JAX is coming.

Very full function set with excellent reporting. Does everything well Customer support is quick and they do try to fix things.

Some glaring failures in coding. Over the last 5 years have found large holes in areas one would not expect. The back-up files we discovered were wholly inadequate and useless to reconstruct anything from. (Now rectified) The VAT reporting for MTD has been laughable, with poorly thought out process leading to the possibility of corrupt data. Fixes have been put in place, but the users should not be used for real time software testing. More thoroughness and care needed

Xero is very user friendly and we found it easy to implement the application into our business. The help sections are really useful too. Auto bank connection is good.

We had some issues with the bank feed in the early stages of implementation but this may have been more to do with the bank rather than Xero. It soon sorted itself out

Great design, intuitive, great support files and videos, invoicing features are very good, being able to add files to transactions is a big time saver, the fact that it is a full accounting system is great in its price range, although for more complex features you may need an add-on application for example full stock management and stock control.

The way the contacts database has been developed could be improved to make importing and exporting data easier, that has improved recently with the addition of client codes field. Also greater flexibility of controlling features a user can access would be great.

The simplicity of the entire Xero offering cannot be beat. The user interface is just so intuitive and helpful we really enjoy it. Payroll and bank reconciliations are a breeze.

The major drawback is limited inventory functionality as well as the inability to split POs once goods are received. Xero is great for digital companies but manufacturers or goods based companies will need bolt on solutions.
