Considered Both Products
MYOB
Chose MYOB
I selected MYOB because most of our clients are using this tool, this is the most convenient accounting software for them that's why we adopted MYOB app and MYOB website. We also covered a training for our clients to make them see that this accounting tool is easily to use.
Chose MYOB
I found Xero just a little to plain for my liking, I went with MYOB for my second business as it was easier to do this, and I already knew how it all worked. Xero does have a few features that are pretty good, but overall I think MYOB is a better product.
Chose MYOB
better than Xero in several ways. Easy to use (if you can get it working by yourself without any support)
Chose MYOB
I am sure anything would be better
Chose MYOB
I did a trial run on Xero I had trouble finding how to set up things, the customer support was terrible. The support you get from MYOB when you need it is really good.
Chose MYOB
the feature, reporting are much better than Saasu. from developer's perspective, MYOB also allows us to pull the data a lot. Unlike Saasu where it limits the users to retrieve data on daily basis. There is a cost to use MYOB, but definitely worth it.
Chose MYOB
We use deputy for timesheets, and it is much better than MYOB
Chose MYOB
Some of my clients switched to Xero as they were using MYOB ACE payroll before but ACE payroll is a workstation based application which is not supported on Microsoft Server 2016 or Microsoft Server 2019. The only upgrade was the essentials and essentials plus but it was …
Chose MYOB
Better platform, similar pricing, and much better customer communications and service.
Chose MYOB
Not even close. Though I will say MYOB had a budget module where Zoho Books doesn't which is one thing severely lacking in Zoho Books. On the other hand, Zoho Books allows for payment processing integration without trying to get a cut from the process whereas MYOB allowed for …
Chose MYOB
MYOB is not a very good program (technically speaking), is far too slow and cumbersome, has hardly changed in 20 years, is not well supported and is far too expensive for what it is - don't buy it or use it - it is a waste of time and money and will let you down.
Chose MYOB
It was selected only because it works with MAC. I prefer Thomson Reuter softwares. Software like QuickBooks and MYOB allows uneducated clients to manipulate their numbers when they shouldn't. This makes more work for everyone.
Chose MYOB
MYOB may have other options that are cloud based and better for business as they make simple, easy to use software. We used the database version locally on our machines and it was difficult for our sales and accounting as only one person can edit at any given time.

MYOB is suitable for any business. I have two different businesses and both use MYOB effectively. I use MYOB to pay wages every fortnight for both businesses. This enables me to track exactly what is happening with everyone's different sick leave and holiday entitlements easily. I'm also able to keep track of expenditure and balance and reconcile the accounts against bank statements.

MYOB
MYOB accounting software basically works but looks and functions like 1998. Unfortunately their Antipiracy licensing system is absolutely TERRIBLE and verging on nearly criminal, scam! You must CONFIRM each and every data file and when it doesnt work you have to PAY THEM to fix their own file protection issues. If you dont pay them, they hold your data hostage as your company accounting information file becomes READ ONLY. Permantly, unless you pay them. This is a total extortion SCAM. I cannot believe a company can operate this way. With a lot of better product available... i dont imagine MYOB is going to survive much longer.

  • Made a life a lot easier by removing a lot of separate entries in multiple excel sheets
  • With all of the relevant information in one place, it is easier to process payments.
  • Most of the business only have one person doing the payroll compared to the team effort.
