Exact Online - Not for the small business (and also not for the bigger ones).
Pros
- Complete pack with many options, use it as CRM, ERP or simply for your bookings.
- Many connections with external programs, webshops, etc.
- Automatic backups.
Cons
- Support... It's bad, and when you want to stop or step back it's near impossible.
- Price, they tend to increase it without warning, and with all the extras it goes up fast.
- If you wanna spend all your time in accounting buy Exact... It can be complex and many handlings needs to be done.
Return on Investment
- Negative: High costs and implement time turned 1 client in to the negative, and after 2 years of use wants to stop.
- Positive: Once an ERP connection is running you can automate a lot in the process.
