Munis Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Munis for Accounting and Human Resources/Payroll. It was used across our whole organization with the exception of the Tax Collector and the Building Department. The business problems it solved is we were able to go entirely paperless using Munis. It also kept impeccable records and you were able to set very specific permissions.

Likelihood to Recommend

Munis is very well suited for the financial software that it offers. We were able to go completely paperless on the financial side. The Accounts Payable module is excellent if you use the workflow properly otherwise, it can get out of hand. The HR module for Munis is great. It was very easy to use and I like the fact that it has a "Train and Test" module so you can try things out before you did it live. It was especially helpful in the budget process. The budget module was very easy to use and gave a more accurate proposed budget to the Town Council.

I would not recommend for the Building Dept as the permit module needs a lot of work.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Munis is used by every department within our office. Munis is great because it has the capability to be used by our mapping department, listing department, vehicle department, GIS department, appraisers, and collections department. Munis prevents our office from being required to have multiple software systems because it can handle all of our needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Munis to manage departmental budgets and provide current information on year-to-date expenditures. We also use Munis to create and approve purchase orders and track expenses in each budget category. The Finance Department creates monthly reports for each department to track year-to-date expenditures to identify any potential budget issues before they arise.

Likelihood to Recommend

Munis is really good for managing a complex budget like a county government or other governmental entity with a large budget. It allows you to create line items by department and provide for consistency through departments in terms of identifying common functions, etc. I like that it is web-based and can be accessed from remote locations.
