What Sage customer have to say
Alternative to Sage high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Sage | |
|---|---|
| Customer Service Support is slow. During tax season you have to wait 4-6 hours to speak with someone. |  |
| It requires training to use that time away from your business. | |
| Charge extra money for the ability to use multi-currency and multi-company options. | |
| No workflows that know the accounting logic. You’ll need to know your accounts. | |
What Freshbooks customers have to say
Alternative to Freshbooks high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Freshbooks | |
|---|---|
| It’s €480 a year expensive, it’s probably the poorest value solution out there. | |
| It’s not an accounting product, Freshbooks is an invoicing tool with some reports. | |
| They use snail mail support, no instant chat support. | |
| Freshbooks was started in 2003 and still looks busy and dated. | |
What Xero customer have to say
Alternative to Xero high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Xero | |
|---|---|
| It’s €420 a year expensive, plus accounting fees, remember Xero was built for accountants. | |
| You need an accountant to help you with Xero, it doesn’t have any workflows. | |
| Very traditional accounting product so you’ll need to learn accounts to use it. | |
| Xero is built for the accounting industry so don’t expect automation. | |
What Big Red Book customers have to say
Alternative to Big Red Book high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Big Red Books | |
|---|---|
| It requires training great if you have an employee with accounting qualifications. | |
| Old fashioned design, for an old-school accounting software. | |
| It’s offline software so there is a risk of hard drive corruption. | |
| Big Red Book costs €499 per product, plus all your accountants’ fees. | |
What Excel customers have to say
Alternative to Excel high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Excel | |
|---|---|
| Excel doesn’t know the accounting rules, so you’ll make mistakes and won’t even know. |  |
| Excel doesn’t back up your company information, get a virus and lose all your information. | |
| No bank level security for your business information. Stop being exposed to hackers. | |
| Excel files get corrupt all the time, why run that risk and heartache. | |
