    Munis is great for any sort of data keeping and accounting work. There are features of Munis that I am still not familiar with even after 6 years of use. Munis would not be very good for a point of sale sort of operation like a retail store because it just simply is not set up for that sort of operation.

    • Since the software is built with your needs in mind, it can be tailored to your specific needs.
    • System security is also created with your specific needs in mind and can be extremely detailed for various roles within the organization.
    • The various modules integrate well, if thought through system processes when building.

    • Their layout and limited web capabilities are a turn-off
    • They lack basic functionality in their web [version]
    • The implementation phase is bumpy since their guides and process documents are not step by step and are usually confusing

    I have used Fund EZ and QuickBooks. Unit4 is for larger organizations and was needed for our scaling.

    Return on Investment
    Tyler Technologies
    • Munis has prevented our office from needing multiple software programs to house all of our information.
    • All of our employees have access to the same information, on the same software.
    • Munis has made day-to-day operations smoother for our office because we are not constantly flipping between programs or software.

    • Our business processes were in flux when the initial build of our system was taking place - this made lives very difficult. Make sure processes are set!
    • Time - beyond what could have been imagined - this is a huge project, that needs proper resources assigned to it within a company when planning to install.
