When talking about the best, It suits best for accounting the day to day transaction along with reporting the summary of transaction in comparison with other accounting software like Zoho Books for instance, which we used earlier for accounting transactions. I feel TallyPrime is the leader in the industry. Regarding the less appropirate scenarios are its User interface. which needs to be carved further in future, recommended to come up with a Customized Theming option as users generally feel not so comfortable with the same colors every time. Change is generally expected to include customized vibrant colors. I'm curios watch the developments in future.
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info
Wave Accounting was used for a small practice without a lot of the accounting considerations a large company would have. For the price, you really can't beat what Wave offers out of the box. All of the basic tools for things like invoicing and expenses are all easy to use. End of year accounting is easy with exports of data.

Reconciliation is very difficult with multiple Wave transactions that need to be deleted or merged before it can be matched to a bank transaction.
Payroll worked fine for us but took several days to get it set up. We have switched to another bookkeeping system and another payroll system. Canceling with Wave took several days and they charge $6 for something even though the month was paid for in advance.
Credit card processing is nice and worked fine for us.
TDL related automation is something that I'm very curious and TallyPrime should invest time to develop it and provide Knowledge training on it.
I feel the necessity to introduce the TallyPrime software access in a handheld device access or via web such that on the go transaction can be made noted in TallyPrime without resorting to Desktop environment
The UI should also be changed currently, whenever I sit, I use keyboard like a typewriter and that aesthetic must be modified with a feature
The theming feature should be introduced in the TallyPrime, earlier, in TallyERP 9, we have green color screen with some shades of green and now that they have changed that to some blue with bluish shade, I'm curious to have customized colors.

I know that credit card processing is a way for Wave to make money, but I really wish they offered ACH payment on Invoices.
I do cash-based accounting, which means I have to make little journal entries at the start and end of each year to get my books to balance because Wave wants to do everything differently. This should just be a setting to flip, whether you want cash-based or accrual-based.
They use Yodlee for bank connection, which doesn't play nice with 2FA. Pretty much every time I log in I have to re-enter credentials, get a code sent to me, reauthenticate, and know that I'm going to have to do it again next week. Not really on Wave, but wish they could get it together nonetheless.

I use it regularly, so I feel it as best apart from the User Interface. For recording general day to day transactions, it is apt and to go far beyond given features and for customization, there is a need for the Tally expert to assess the business requirement, So I feel the rating is apt in this judgement.

I am a professional bookkeeper and I have no problems using Wave and all of it's features. I can see that certain individuals who have no accounting knowledge might struggle with a few different features and entries, but that is why Wave has an emphasis in connecting users to Wave Pro's who will walk them through things
Wave does tend to slow down when filtering your transactions screen especially by date. This is more of an issue when trying to trouble shoot certain transactions or clean-up a set of books.
I never had to call Wave Support as we barely experienced any support-related problems on our side. However, I do know a few people that complained about Wave support. It would be nice as well, though if they could have more in your face tutorials for new users or how-to videos should we struggle to do something
TallyPrime often appeals to small to medium-sized businesses due to its affordability. Its strength in inventory management and tax compliance may make it a top choice for retail or business clients in regions with complex tax regulations. Real saviour when it comes to companies with production and inventory management. Thank you Team for the software.

Wave is FREE for most functions. Payment processing costs no matter where you go (as does payroll or taxes). Wave rises above tools like QuickBooks Online because they know that for our small firm, being nimble is the name of the game. We don't need exhaustive reporting and management like QB offers and we certainly don't want to pay for it
