Accounting Specialist Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Platform!" November 3, 2022 5.0 Overall very happy with MIP and the way it works. It was a good choice for us! Pros MIP is a great fund accounting software. It has been very valuable for our organization and makes it easy to keep everything in order and organized. Cons System is sometimes glitchy and it's hard to find tutorials for learning new things in the software. Review Source RL Rose L. Accounting Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Account Software Crisis" March 29, 2022 1.0 Nightmare Pros Nothing about the software is user friendly and the training process is a nightmare. the company keeps switching trainers who leave the company and leave their clients with no connection to know what is going on Cons The technology feature is very difficult and the modular build up is not effective to pull out reports. Switched from [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://www.capterra.com/p/247647/Blackbaud-Raiser-s-Edge-NXT/) MIP promised to provide ease of services and efficiency Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sturdy and reliable accounting software" December 22, 2019 4.0 Overall good, reliable and serves our current needs. We'd prefer a system that did not require annual updates performed by our applications team, but it's something we can live with. Customer support is helpful but can be hard to reach at times. Pros It is reliable and doesn't crash. Good suite of features that suit our essential needs, such as payroll, AP, AR, reports, budgets and fund management. Other tools are add ons that we do not currently use but had to contract with a few additional third parties to meet our needs. Cons Annual fee and need for annual updates. Normally these are not too cumbersome but occasionally they are more difficult to implement for our applications team and it takes up a good chunk of their time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "University Fundraising Team" September 25, 2018 2.0 I personally found the coordinative POSSIBILITIES to be high, however the learning curve made it hard for the average user to become functional. Pros I enjoyed the ability to get an entire University on board and working in the same direction. Additionally, the ability to coordinate accounts is very helpful. Cons The learning curve is hard. It is easy to use poorly, and difficult to use easily. I became an adept user, but the difficulty in getting up to speed typically meant that other colleagues accomplished only the basic tasks, or neglected using it at all. Review Source PT Peter T. Accountant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "MIP is a good nonprofit software that is cost affordable" January 19, 2024 2.0 Pros MIP has everything you need however there are many different features such as payroll and etc that will cost more to be added on Cons It is not up to update. I love the lay out but I can see a lot of improve that could make the workflow and journal entries easier/faster Review Source PB Paige B. CFO Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for mid-market non-profits" June 1, 2015 3.5 Pros The Saas version makes it easy to implement and easy on the IT department (they don't have to do anything). It also makes it easy to access from anywhere. We moved from Blackbaud because their system was so clunky and I couldn't get financials out of it easily. With Abila, it's very easy to run a variety of financials that I can tailor to my needs. It's also very easy to drill down (not from the financial reports) to find the detail I'm looking for with links to supporting documents (i.e. invoices). The A/R, fixed asset and other modules let us keep accounting for everything in one place. Cons The financial reports are a bit limited in terms of showing groupings of departments without being able to show the total on the same report. It can't do monthly balance sheets on one report. And you can't enter operational/non-financial data for more comprehensive reporting. The wait time for calling into their help center is still unacceptable (hold times of no less than 30 minutes). They know about this and, instead of fixing it, tell users to use their chat function. While their response time on chat is very fast, I hate having to type out my issues and responses. I just want to talk to a live person. Review Source Tia C. Board Member Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very nice!" January 9, 2019 4.0 Pros We have been using this for accounting for quite awhile and have not have any issues. It has great support and options to be able to work for what our non-profit is always needing. Cons The reporting could be better, more customization would be great. As a non-profit it is always something that we need reporting on and nothing is ever perfect. But that does go for many products too. Review Source CP Cheryl P. HR Specialist Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR Specialist" August 16, 2016 3.5 Pros I use the payroll module to process bi-weekly payroll. It is a great program as it flows into the MIP Fund Accounting software making it a breeze to reconcile accounts. The vendor is readily available to answer questions and is knowledgeable. No run around trying to find the answer or "fix". Cons The payroll module does not update some balances automatically. For instance, when PTO hours are entered on the timesheet, you still have to go to another tab to indicate Leave taken for the leave balance to be reduced. Also there are no restrictions on earning codes: someone could have a have several levels of PTO (due to increasing earning eligibility with tenure) and the system will recognize all. It would be beneficial if more than one rate of pay was also available. It is not in the payroll module, you must add the HR module. Review Source EV Emmanuel V. Sr Grant Accountant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila MIP Fund Accounting" July 2, 2019 4.0 Throughout my whole professional career, I have utilized Abila MIP Fund Accounting. Once mastered, it is a great software to use. Pros The software has many great features that make completing tasks more efficient. Cons It takes a while for a new user to become familiar with all the functions and features. Review Source MR Miguel R. IT Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila Fund Accounting Use and Customization" February 9, 2017 3.0 The system itself has been around for a good while. For that reason, they have built a strong product if you are in the non-profit sector looking for some flexibility. Be warned that it is not an inexpensive system although the ongoing cost of maintenance and support is not too bad. Implementation and initial licensing are where they get you. Most use the product out of the box and even then require a good amount of training since it had too many features. I would try to stay away from customizations that touch the database directly because support will have a much more difficult time supporting you. Support is ok, however during an audit and UDS season you should expect to be on the phone on hold for 30+ min. Pros Once set up, you will enjoy the power of flexibility and customization. Cons Too many options that can easily use you. You need to be trained. Support wait times can be high. High initial implements ton cost. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Production Office Coordinator Performing Arts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Workplace utilizes for Electronic Requisition system" September 22, 2018 4.0 Pros We were able to move away from wasting so much paper and doing paper purchase orders for everything. MIP allowed for us to move into an easily submittable format. Cons Navigating the software itself can be clunky. I'm not sure if we have an older version or not, but there's some standard keystrokes that are different than intuition would say. The enter key saves and closes something and the tab key functions more as a traditional enter key which really messed with me for awhile. Review Source DM Dan M. CFO Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MIP for YOUR non-profit" June 7, 2017 5.0 I would recommend this to any non-profit to account for financials in any industry. Pros MIP has one of the best non-profit accounting solutions out there, with its robust reporting, multiple segmentation of accounts, and ease of reviewing history in the database. Cons The built in custom reporting could be a little better - but there are certainly third party softwares out there that fix this problem - for a cost. Review Source JB Janet B. Executive Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila Fund Accounting " January 21, 2021 5.0 We are very satisfied with the quality and support of this software. Pros This is a solid software program with options to add modules for organization needs. We have several departments that are monitored through this program. Cons Reporting could be re-stuctured for ease of use for new users. Future Training would be nice to have in the pacific northwest. Ease of travel Review Source MB Matthew B. Equipping and Discipleship Director Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gave us great insight!" November 9, 2017 5.0 Pros This software allowed us to make better financial decisions because we had clear data. Our church finance team loved it! Cons Our organization decided that it would be a good idea to switch to their own ground up software. We have missed several key features that they weren't able to reproduce from Abila... Review Source MT Marla T. Accounting Specialist Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "switched from Quickbooks" April 5, 2018 4.0 Overall, I like using this system. Pros I really like that you can't go in and make changes to items once you post them. It's more stable than QuickBooks was regarding this matter. Cons Because you can't make any changes, if you make a typo it is there for ever. Would be nice if there were an edit feature just for the description. Review Source JL Jim L. Director of Finance & Administration Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall this is a good product for our not for profit." November 17, 2017 4.0 Don't purchase any Abila product without factoring in the cost of training. Our organization did a self install & configuration and to be frank made a mess of things. Learned a costly lesson; the cost of training is well worth it. Pros Bolt on modules are very robust; have exceeded our expectations. Nice integration from FR50 to MIP. Easy to install in modules so you can spread the learning curve over time. Cons No switch to do Cash Accounting Basis-built to use Accrual Basis only. No cash forecast model built in s/w. Review Source SJ Samantha J. Manager of Human Resources and Accounting Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product, not so good customer support" May 31, 2018 4.0 Pros This software is very easy to use and customize to your specific organizational needs. It is great for non-profit accounting Cons The customer service at Abila is not top-notch. They reply slowly and when you purchase a new product, they do not take the appropriate amount of time to show you how to use it. Review Source KG Kaycie G. Finance Specialist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use Abila daily for invoice processing and reporting. " March 28, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the reporting feature on Abila and the ease of saving reports for the future so I can run them monthly. Cons I do think the software could use an update and become more user friendly and more tech savvy. I also wish it would more better on a MAC. Review Source YS Yvonne S. Office Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use" May 19, 2017 3.0 Pros Loads of options, Layout is nice, Support, job costing, all the report options, and vendor and customer lists Cons Not user friendly Small fonts and tabs. US version looks better Uses not give you cash accounting option Review Source PB Prudence B. Controller (Accounting & Data) Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dependency " February 21, 2017 5.0 Most nonprofits are seeking funding to exist...this software package is a well-established organization. I say this because of the dependency on the online/cloud storage features. There is a monthly service fee to use this product. Pros I say this; however, it's a package that is worth having. I generally work with startup and kid/new nonprofits. I recommend this product as they grow and hire a Staff Accountant. Cons Simply the fee associated with the product itself and for training, or additional insight. Review Source AL Anne L. Finance Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ok Accounting Software" July 20, 2019 5.0 It was just OK- didn’t love it didn’t hate it. Pros I really enjoyed all the functions of this software system. It never lagged or crashed on me. Cons I did not enjoy how there are limits to how many users could be on the software. Sometimes, I would not be able to log in the system because there were too many of my colleagues on it so I couldn’t do my work. It was frustrating. Review Source BW Brittney W. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Abila - MIP Fund Accounting Review" June 7, 2017 4.0 The system is available as an on-premise solution or hosted on the Abila private cloud which is great having either option. Pros The ability to access the system from anywhere on your mobile device. There is a tough competition of modules available. Cons The amount of money spent can be expensive depending on the type of modules needed and how many users needed. Review Source LE Leslie E. Payroll & Benefits Coordinator Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Payroll & Benefits Coordinator" November 8, 2016 4.0 I would like to do more precise reports, like who is on BCBS HMO and who is on BCBS PPO. Pros I like the tabs. I can quickly access what I need because the tabs make it so simple. I love love love the fact that I can put an annual salary on the Current Pay tab and it will calculate everything the salary and hourly rate for me. I love that! Every-time I have questions I can call over there and I get help. Even if I get these crazy ideas to try to do something new I ask my sales person Dan and he gets the answers for me. Cons Why do I have to enter some information more than once? I have to enter exempt and non-exempt on Current Job tab, Job History tab and Current Pay Tab...Why? Also the W-4 issued by the IRS says Single, Married or Married but filing at a higher Single rate. The box Single/head of household is confusing. On Address & Phone tab why do the Home, Cell & Fax boxes have "Ext" in the box? No one has an Ext at home or on their cell phones. Now you are just being lazy. Review Source AG Albert G. Administrator Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My experience with the software was a good one." December 15, 2017 5.0 Pros the product was nice it was easy to use and very interactive. I like the fact that the dashboard is very comprehensive. Cons There is definitely more room for improvement,and at time could be little bit frustrating to use the product. Review Source BC Brenda C. Chief Business Officer Primary/Secondary Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to tailor to your industry needs." August 8, 2017 4.0 I'm still learning, but the more often I use Abila, and the more familiar I become I am enjoying the software more and more! It's very well designed. Pros There are a lot of features, and it's easy to get overwhelmed if you are new to accounting, however, if you are a quick learner and explore the features at length you can quickly figure things out until your transactions become intuitive. Cons It does assume a certain level of accounting proficiency on the part of the user. Those starting out will probably require some support in navigating. The "Help" search feature is very technical.
