Overall Satisfaction with Kashoo

I used Kashoo as one of the accounting solutions for my business. It had a great advantage in that it was really comprehensive in what is covered and the information that I needed to report on was easily accessible. Every report that I wanted was available at the click of a button.

Pros

  • Reports
  • Feature set

Cons

  • The UI is not nice at all - even with a UI refresh, it still didn't look that great
  • The UX is rough as well - it's not as easy to use until you get used to it - high learning curve
  • I purchased a lifetime deal of Kashoo and they ended up retracting it and placing my deal into "TrulySmall Accounting" which is a whole different product entirely. I ended up getting my money back but this was a huge negative and time-waste and the reason I gave Kashoo such a low score.
Wave Accounting has the UI and UX down perfectly. Their reporting is nice as well, but I felt like things were a little more customizable in Kashoo, so they have the upper hand there.

The thing is, it's usable. But it takes a longer while than similar apps to get to a level of comfortable usability. Now, with that, you get an advanced feature set, for example, for reporting, as I've talked about in the review. However, be prepared to not really like the UI and UX as much, but what's behind the hood is powerful.
They were not helpful in resolving my issue on the change to my lifetime deal, and I am not happy with their support. They didn't care at all.
Kashoo is well suited if you have the time to learn the system. Because after that, it becomes a breeze. But if you're new to this stuff and don't have an accountant, you may be struggling to understand exactly what you need to do or where you need to click.
