Cons

“We have CRM and Invoice integrated but it does not always sync up quickly.”
SM

Sherry M.

Executive Manager

“I wish it was a standard part of all small business training and the endless business podcasts by bankrolled people who do not understand what starting from scratch really means.”
MC

Mary C.

Managing Director

“I have ended up just choosing to manually enter invoice data to save time messing with bulk uploads that get nowhere.”
PP

Phillip P.

Director

Cons

“the support team is NOT meticulous and does a bare minimum sloppy job, if you are a total novice do not rely on them, they failed to check the date and time, cron of the server, and didnt even bother to ensure the directories are correct.”
PD

Peter D.

IT Director

“Pricing depends on number of clients you get; therefore, the tool is likely to be more expensive if you have more than 1000 clients and if you are to use white labelled solution”
GA

“The theme breaks when we upgrade the WHMCS.The themes, external support and vendors are very costly.”
