Overall Satisfaction with Financial Edge
I use Financial Edge daily. As the Accounts Manager, I create invoices, manage monthly recurring statements, processing reimbursements, you name it. Everything Receivable and Payable is my territory.
I have to say, Financial Edge is a joke. Their website is constantly "under maintenance", and until it's done, the website is frozen.
They have this plug-in, essentially, called the Database View, which is used for reporting and posting things. It looks exactly like Windows 98 did, and I've never seen it in a state that's not buffering.
The most frustrating part is to create monthly recurring statements, we have to use what is called the Crystal Report. This generates all the data we've input for the year, and it puts the data in a template that we can then print and mail out. It was acting crazy one day so I contacted customer support, and they told me that they're not offering support for it anymore. Meaning, they carry and advertise this part of their software, but when it doesn't work properly and you lose data, it's not their fault. Okay bro.

- Responsive customer service
- Customer service blames the customer, and never offers solutions other than "wait it out." I've always been told it's my computer, even though everyone else at my work has the same issues.
- Website is constantly "under maintenance" and it somehow never gets better.
- The Database View is outdated and glitchy. Honestly get rid of it.
- The Crystal Report is the only way to handle monthly recurring statements, and Financial Edge does not offer support for it anymore. Good luck figuring that out on your own.
- I don't wish to answer this question.
It doesn't even compare. Sage is far better than Financial Edge. No contest.
