Overall Satisfaction with Xero

Xero is used for recording and reporting accounting data for a vertically integrated international agri-manufacturing conglomerate.
  • The accounting team hates Xero.
  • Xero has the worst customer service of any accounting software on the market.
  • Xero costs us dozens of hours each month dealing with the poor programming and lack of robust accounting solutions.
Xero is a knock-off product that barely replicates the performance anyone can get out of an Excel workbook.
Xero deployment has not helped the organization and is a time and money sink that causes us pain and stress on a regular basis.
Xero is terrible at integrating with other applications. They recently made API changes without warning that caused our connections to fail and lost years of data. It took weeks to fix the connection again, after we finally figured out that Xero had stealth implemented API changes.

Bank connections fail and there's nothing you can do to prevent it, forcing accounting teams to handle all transaction imports manually.
Xero is just as infuriating as Quickbooks. We only use it because the last CFO set it up and it's taking us a while to establish a new accounting platform that will allow us to migrate away from this dumpster fire.

Do you think Xero delivers good value for the price?

No

Are you happy with Xero's feature set?

No

Did Xero live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of Xero go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Xero again?

No

I would steer any colleague away from Xero and tell them that an Excel spreadsheet is just as good and won't create the headaches that Xero causes. I wouldn't wish Xero upon my worst enemy.
