Pros

“In the beginning, Katana delivered exactly what we needed - solid functionality, reasonable pricing, and an easy-to-use interface that worked well for a small manufacturer like us with modest sales order volume.”

Andrew M.

Owner

“We’ve also experienced price changes mid-subscription period without meaningful notice, and being forced into annual negotiations simply to keep our plan.”

Owner

“Initially, the pricing was fair and manageable. But once Katana began taking on outside investment and aggressively scaling, things started to change.”

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.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Kamal H.

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.”

Cons

“Now in 2024, that price has increased to $399, BUT they took away several features we had become reliant upon and put them into separate "add-on" packages at $199 EACH—bringing my monthly all the way to $797!”
AR

Alan R.

CEO

“We really didn't appreciate that but all the manufacturing data of our company was inside Katana, our employees were trained and used to the software, so we swallowed the pill.”
FM

Fabien M.

CEO

“This company is being run like it's an open source "best effort" outfit, but charging premium monthly rates for a software that feels barely out of beta.”
CG

Chris G.

CEO

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.”
