Simpler to understand/more robust reporting options would be nice to have. Maybe I'm missing something, but why doesn't the Instances view show completion time? Just execution time and duration.

Read full review I’ve been using Dancing Numbers for a few months now, and overall, it’s been a great experience. The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, making it relatively easy to navigate even for someone with a moderate level of accounting knowledge. The automated data entry and reconciliation features are particularly helpful, saving us a significant amount of time and reducing manual errors.The integration with various accounting systems is a big plus, allowing us to seamlessly connect with our existing tools. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever we’ve had questions or needed assistance.However, there are a few areas where Dancing Numbers could improve. While the core functionalities are strong, some advanced features feel a bit limited compared to competitors. Additionally, the pricing structure could be more flexible to accommodate different business sizes and needs.Overall, Dancing Numbers is a solid choice for businesses looking to streamline their accounting processes with a reliable tool, though there’s room for enhancement in certain areas.
