What Big Red Book customers have to say
Alternative to Big Red Book high level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Big Red Book | |
|---|---|
| Big Red Book Payroll is offline software with an old product design. |  |
| Needs to be manually updated with new rules. Bullet will do that for you. | |
| Locally saved data so there is a risk of data loss or hacking. | |
| Accountant focused software. Uses heavy accounting terms. | |
What Sage customers have to say
Alternative to Sage high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Sage | |
|---|---|
| Dated software and processes, making changes can be very manually. | |
| Customer Service Support is slow. Users don’t get a response in a timely manner if at all. | |
| It can be slow processing large queries or running complicated reports. | |
| Expect extra payroll fees if there is a need in more options like pension module or GDPR. | |
Alternative to Bright Pay high-level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Bright Pay | |
|---|---|
| No possibility to integrate accounts, doubling your workload. | |
| BrightPay costs €149 a year for what Bullet gives you and even more for €84. | |
| Need a quick answer no live chat support with BrightPay. | |
| BrightPay is an offline software, so there is a risk of hard drive corruption. | |
What Simple Pay customers have to say
Alternative to Simple Pay high level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Simple Pay | |
|---|---|
| Poor UI, need accounting knowledge to use this product. | |
| It takes some time to learn the software. Not for a novice. | |
| No instant chat support so when you’re stuck you’re going to be stuck for a while. | |
| No instant integration with an Irish Accounting software package. | |
