Avis clients sur Accounting Seed

Best Accounting Software for Fast Growing SMB

Commentaires : We have been using Accounting Seed for a bit over a year now and our whole teams loves it!

Avantages :

Super easy to use and easy to customize to meet your needs

Inconvénients :

Not the easiest to transition over to and it lacks good quality consulting partners.

Accounting Software built into SalesForce

Commentaires : We needed a system that integrated with our contacts and programs. We wanted to be able to see what programs a donor had given to along with financial data for those programs. With Accounting Seed working inside SalesForce, all our data, across all departments, is in one place can easily be linked, integrated, displayed, and reported. This allows us to better serve our constituents with accurate data immediately at our fingers via desktop or mobile apps with access anywhere in the world.

Avantages :

Accounting Seed works splendidly inside SalesForce. You get all the advantages of a product that integrates with all your SalesForce data. No need for imports or exports. Everything is in one place. Employees learn one system and they can work all across the organization. The availability of multi-levels of security allows you to tailor applications to the appropriate person, department, or team. Internal control features and audit trails are securely automated. Backing up your data is simple with just a few clicks. Project managment allow each project to act almost like its own company and integrates well with any other Salesforce data.

Inconvénients :

I would like to see more preformatted reports. There are a few in the system but I suspect there could be more that could print directly from the system in a more presentable format. All reports can be exported to Excel. This allows those that know Excel to manipulate the data as only Excel can do. That is nice but requires extra effort to format the data.

After 2 years' use, still somewhat difficult for non-CPA

Commentaires : Frustrating onboarding for someone who's not a CPA, even if familiar with Salesforce and something like Quickbooks.Customer support has been difficult at times to get a usable answer. From April 2020 until just this last month April 2023, I"ve never been able to actually talk to a support rep. Only communications through Cases. Just recently I'm finally getting some help from them how to get the system configured for use in my business. I still hold on to hope that I'll be able to automate the tedious tasks such as create payable-open payable-add payable line-post payable-pay payable... 9 or 10 clicks/inputs just to get a vendor paid

Avantages :

Its integration into Salesforce and the potential automation

Inconvénients :

Some of the Visualforce pages to do certain tasks can be VERY slow to refresh the screen. I'm on a modern computer with SSD and 900 Mbps internet but frequently I'm waiting 8-20 seconds for a refresh before I can continue.

Great Support

Commentaires : We've had issues on and off using the program since going live in January 2019, however, AccountingSeed Customer Support has helped us through all of those issues. They've even done some customization for us as a courtesy. I've been working on a custom template (with Conga) for months now and the fields I need on the form were not available to us. CSR with AccountingSeed helped me today with these custom fields; he added them as a courtesy and also sent me a video on how he did this. VERY helpful to have in the future.

Avantages :

My favorite feature is being able to Clone repeat transactions; vendor invoices and journal entries. The Bank Reconciliation is a breeze. Submitting a Ticket for assistance is very convenient. I get an email within a few hours with a solution.

Inconvénients :

My least favorite features are the Financial Reports and AccountingSeed-created Forms. The reports we run are very different than what AccountingSeed offers. We've found a way to make it work by exporting to Excel, updating fields, adding/deleting, etc. Another feature is the various forms that AccountingSeed created for us; Purchase Order, Packing List and Billing. When we first started using AccountingSeed we found out they didn't have Sales Orders (order confirmations). We had to purchase another App (Conga) who created the Sales Order form for us. I'm currently working on a new Purchase Order template with Conga. The issue I have with the Billing form is that is says Billing. A lot of our customers comment, asking for the Invoice number. It's just a terminology issue; billing vs invoice. We will be creating our own Invoice template with Conga as well.

AccountingSeed Review

Commentaires : I have relied upon AccountingSeed support quite heavily. If I research what I need on their great website, and then concisely ask finish questions, I have great responses and I have had tremendous help that I have heavily relied upon throughout the three years of using AccountingSeed.

Avantages :

The robustness of the software is admirable. Once it is understood, the details of all transactions are right there. The really great feature is that our sales department can help with the data entry and timing of the billings.

Inconvénients :

It is not really a fault of the software, but I didn't have any training on reporting. The reporting is robust but I feel because of its flexibility, it is crucial to have up front training in order to know how to obtain the information needed.

Customer support is excellent

Commentaires : It is not so user friendly for insurance agencies.

Avantages :

Provided detailed information on the P & L and Balance Sheet.

Inconvénients :

Not being able to delete a lot of payables at ones when they are not needed. the last used gl number should come up when posting payables.

Best Core Accounting Software for Salesforce Platform

Avantages :

Seamless integration with Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud.Same look and field as SalesforceEasy to deploy and to perform enhancementsCovers all the fundamental requirements of SMBs including, but not limited to Recurring Billing

Inconvénients :

The slow release of new and value-added enhancements of features and functions that customers are craving, the limited out-of-the-box integration with vital entities to be able to automate accounting processes such as cash applications, and the lack of a seamless out-of-the-box integration with different Banks to ingest customer payments. Although I must say that they are becoming more and more proactive about filling in gaps and responding to popular customer requests.

Value for Money

Avantages :

Wide range for features at one place. Don't have to manage different systems for accounting, billing and reporting purpose.

Inconvénients :

Reporting section might needs some customization based on user's requirement.

Bad experience

Avantages :

We were not able to use the accounting software because we were never fully implemented by their partner.

Inconvénients :

service and support wasn't helpful. After the software cancellation due to their partner going out of business, they cancelled our subscription and our salesforce instance ground to a halt. Very hard to get a hold of someone to help out solve the issue. Our SF org was left unusable.

Great Product

Avantages :

Easy to use and has a great UI to navigate

Inconvénients :

Not able to modify some things, like reports

Great product but some limitations

Avantages :

The product is very easy to use and very customizable. It easily integrates directly with Salesforce so it feels like you are using one software rather than multiple platforms.

Inconvénients :

I think there are some limitations or areas of improvement needed. Reporting wise some of the stock reports aren't great and custom reports take time and knowledge to build. I would also like to see improvements made or features added to the customer billings to allow for automation of sending.

An Excellent Value Financial Solution

Commentaires : Overall, we have had good experiences. The package has a straightforward install (save once when we didn't have the correct release, and good to very good support. The Knowledge Base is helpful.

Avantages :

Having a financial solution on the Salesforce platform is a game-changer for development and implementation speed. Real-time financial information available at the Account, Opportunity, and Project record level increases the speed, accuracy, and relevance of critical business intelligence. This, in turn, translates into greater business agility while exponentially increasing confidence in the processing and assessment of business threats and opportunities.

Inconvénients :

Recently the platform and license costing has been a bit of a moving target. I have evangelized for this product and assisted several of our clients with AS implementations, and more than once we have found out significant cost impacts after the initial purchase. The bank connections have also been challenging, as while the advertised "1400" banks might sound like a lot, we have discovered the hard way that having a bank name on the list does not guarantee a connection, as each bank can have several connectors, and not all are compatible with Accounting Seed.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Commentaires : Using this within Salesforce reaps huge reward. We can work together with our team spread far and wide!

Avantages :

The Team is amazing and well versed, a pleasure to work with. Being in DF means access to everything from anywhere!

Inconvénients :

The rate of change is touted as a benefit, but in reality is a bug. When your team complains about each new version, you know you have a problem. Multiple releases per year disrupt our org. Opting out is received negatively, and the belief that an org our size can have our team Beta Testing new releases in our sandbox several times a year indicated an unfamiliarity with our work loads. I hope they can stabilize the product and get to a maximum of a large yearly release, because the current "Improvements" are quite disruptive. That being said, I hope they prosper, because the software offers great promise, and a real shot at being the defacto standard for on system accounting in a Salesforce environment.

Cloud-based law firm

Commentaires : Our experience has been excellent. Accounting Seed helped develop an integration with our practice management software years ago. They have continually improved the application every year.

Avantages :

The ability to bring our accounting to the salesforce platform was huge. This allowed us to integrate with our practice management software.

Inconvénients :

Some processes take too many steps (clicks) but this is probably a function of Salesforce.

Good software, meets needs for most mid sized company

Avantages :

Ease of use, not overly complicated. Most features are easy to find.

Inconvénients :

Lightning has slowed things down significantly.

AS review June 2022

Avantages :

Integration with Salesforce Customization for our business needs; ie. many extra fields within product lines, flows, capacity for very large transactions with high quantity and volume of products.

Inconvénients :

Too many clicks for one transaction. Frequent releases and changes to the SW that affects custom flows and requires rework and re-development. This product is not popular and there are a limited amount of people with experience with this SW. Finding accounting professionals with knowledge is almost impossible.

AS make our financial lifes easier

Commentaires : I've been using AS over 4 years already and it has been an amazing tool for our company, fast, information on hands 24/7 and it allows to audit any financial record we want.

Avantages :

The most I like is how easy it is to use, it is simple and matches most of our accounting requirements, specially since it is built in salesforce and you might integrate it with anything.

Inconvénients :

Sometimes support limites to go to web, even when instrucions on web are great, you might require extra hand to tackle some doubts

Stusa

Commentaires : their staff is well informed, and they help quickly

Avantages :

We like that it ties into salesforce and there is no need for an API connection. The information flows seamlessly

Inconvénients :

The amount of programming and customization to make it work is at the typical SalesForce level. Nothing is "out of the box" except for the basics

Accounting seed software needs you have basic knowledge of accounting principles,hence may not be user friendly if u lack that.

Happy Customer

Commentaires : Once you adapt to moving around the system, it makes getting from one area to another very easy. It has been a pleasant experience learning this system.

Avantages :

The ability to attach all types of documents in one place. Having a client/vendor record with all transactions and documents in one place allows for easy research and reconciliations. Being able to customize the system and made reporting more efficient. Working with customer service has been a pleasant experience.

The budgeting feature is very complex compared to other accounting software.

Avantages :

How powerful it is and what all it can accomplish. It's been able to completely handle all of our accounting needs in Salesforce.

Inconvénients :

Their support can be hard to deal with some times. There have been times that the support took so long to respond back that the issue became worse or never resolved.

Accounting Seed Review

Avantages :

The software was easy to integrate with our Salesforce based CRM. The accounting variables give plenty of flexibility in reporting/tracking.

Inconvénients :

It took a little time for new staff to learn, but overall this was not more than what you would expect from any other software.

Great solution for our Salesforce implementation

Commentaires : It has become an essential part of our business.

Some admin-related elements are hard to find (how to update PDF formatting, etc) but we've been able to work around them.

Avantages :

The Knowledgebase is easy to use, very often I can fix an issue by looking there.

Updates are often released without proper testing and have often delayed workflows or caused problems.
