• MIP Cloud took away the ability to have multiple things open simultaneously. Now if I need to add a vendor in the middle of a check run, I need to completely exit the batch. The desktop version offered ways to have both open simultaneously.
• The Cloud version is picky about checking duplicate document numbers during a bank reconciliation. If I select avoided check and there are two document 15's, it will only save one document. I have to go to the desktop version to lock it.
• The Cloud version does not allow me to do my Recurring Entries. They automatically appear with a warning that they are due when I enter the desktop version.

• Customer service - extremely long phone hold times, and 2wk response times for email inquiries. Received conflicting instructions and advice, so we make decisions based on a rep's instruction and then the next rep advises us that we have to do it a different way.
• Implementation - we were advised that the 6-wk lead-time to transition payroll was adequate and yet, they were still actively configuring the account up to the business day prior to us processing our first payroll, leaving essentially ZERO time for training, auditing, etc. We were also told - in writing - that we'd have a dedicated implementation team for 6mos following transition, but oops, the salesman was just wrong about that, so despite implementation never being fully completed or audited, the implementation team pushed us through.
• Training - there was essentially no training due to the fact that the system wasn't ready for us prior to us having to process payroll. Their "help" feature on the website is cumbersome and difficult to navigate. We'll often read their "guides" and the instructions seem outdated (they describe page layouts that differ from what we see).
• Account Configurations - we expressed that our goal was to streamline the self-onboarding process and employee file self-maintenance, but employees were telling us that they couldn't adjust any of their personal info online or make tax form updates. After numerous attempts to read help guides, watch videos, we finally got clarification and were told that we have to "turn on" those features and functionality. So, they'll sell you on features that they never actually activate for you and never provide any training on, so bottom line.... GOOD LUCK actually knowing what's available or how to use it!

• It has fit our needs exactly.
• It is all I've ever used at this organization. We briefly tried another setup in order to integrate with other systems and we quickly abandoned it to move back to MIP Fund Accounting (formerly Abila MIP).
• It has been a big time saver at payroll time and tax time.

• My payroll used to take three days to complete. Now it takes only a few minutes.
• My employees have more information at their fingertips. They can see their hours, they can reference HR materials and they can get check stubs.
• All I-9s are electronic, and I'm sure to have one for every person.
