Overall Satisfaction with Acumatica

We use it for payroll, AP, AR, and some reports

Pros

  • Intercompany
  • Batch payments
  • EFT remittances emailed
  • Track payments

Cons

  • It was hard to implement
  • I need training and I feel so overwhelmed to know where to start
  • I'd like more training as part of the implementation
  • I feel like I am not using it to it's potential and it's frustrating to know that it can do more than I am able to use and more help with that would be great
  • The implementation was a lot of customize building and I felt like some of it could have been built by my partner rather than having them sit and watch me enter a bunch of stuff, especially when a lot of it was over my head in understanding
I'm looking to have timesheets and bills uploaded using AI to save myself from manual entry. I think that Bill will be good for AP and I'm leaning towards Lumber (if not Workforce) or payroll although I was thinking of Exaktime before I got here. I don't feel that I get a lot of guidance on my own so I'm glad I came to learn more at the Summit
I haven't implemented it yet, but I'm optimistic
My Pro Forma Invoices are better, but I also need a way to include invoices and I'm concerned that the AI uploading the details of the Bills will be too many lines and make my Proforma's too many lines
The reports will be helpful once I determine how to use them. I see how the 360 dashboard is helpful, but my current version doesn't seem to have it yet. I think that Velixo will also be helpful to enable the CEO to get the information he needs live without having to ask me

Do you think Acumatica delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Acumatica's feature set?

No

Did Acumatica live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Acumatica go as expected?

No

Would you buy Acumatica again?

Yes

Great for payroll but I feel like I do a lot of manual entry and I don't have buy in from other employees to login. Employees complain about paystubs not emailing directly, the CEO is always looking for reports and I need help with that. I would love to be set up with accountants or CFO with Acumatica experience to help me. Ie if Acumatica had list of accountants looking for work, I would be interested
