Overall Satisfaction with MYOB

MYOB accounting software basically works but looks and functions like 1998. Unfortunately, their Antipiracy licensing system is absolutely TERRIBLE and verging on the nearly criminal, scam! You must CONFIRM each and every data file and when it doesn't work you have to PAY THEM to fix their own file protection issues. If you don't pay them, they hold your data hostage as your company accounting information file becomes READ ONLY. Permanently. Unless you pay them. This is a total extortion SCAM. I cannot believe a company can operate this way. With a lot of better products available... I don't imagine MYOB is going to survive much longer.

You should find another alternative. NOW! MYOB is dying dinosaur company and application which should be avoided at all costs.
