### "Tall Emu Review Boema"

March 7, 2024

4.0

Pros

Inventory Management & Quoting process are extremely well done

Cons

Setting up the software is pretty tedious and support access can be limited for any questions outside of the help forums. MYOB integration could have more in-depth information considering it is a MYOB product.

### "A big box ERP CRM functionality but for small to medium business"

September 18, 2025

5.0

I’m impressed with Tall Emu. Coming from a SAP environment, I can accomplish nearly everything I did before—and in many cases it’s far simpler. Onboarding took a bit of know-how, but once set up it’s been solid. Bringing the company back was the right call: support used to mirror the poor MYOB experience, but now it’s fast, helpful, and on point when unusual issues arise

Pros

It has a solid integration with MYOB to keep the accountant and tax man happy. Once they are out of the way you have a functionality suite that emulates big players like SAP. My manufacturing operation runs very nicely thanks.

Cons

It was good out of the box but took a fair bit of my knowledge to get it running. I would highly recommend the onboarding offer. Support in the MYOB era was pretty poor but now on point since the ownership change.

MYOB is featureless outside of accounting. I run a manufactuing business and Tall Emu is as close to SAP as i can get, without the price tag.

### "Tall Emu: Not so good"

August 12, 2024

3.0

Prior to MYOB purchase, excellent. Since MYOB purchase very poor.

Pros

Initially the reporting and proactive assistance we received was fantastic. The product is great value for money and has a wide range of tools.

Cons

Since being taken over by MYOB, getting changes made is very difficult and time consuming. Instead of assisting us, the changes that are being forced on us make operating our business more difficult. It has taken us over 6 months to get a change made that is an error they created in their system, that we identified, and we are still waiting for a solution!

Hi William Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, although it's obviously very disappointing to read. As I believe you're aware, Tall Emu has been reacquired by one of its original founders, after being part of MYOB for over 2 years. Since the reacquisition on 16th September, we have completely changed the way our support and development teams work and the way they are prioritising help tickets and tasks. I understand we are in contact with you, and we are working through the challenges and issues you've had with Tall Emu. Hopefully your view on Tall Emu and the value it gives your business has changed significantly, and we look forward to being able to change your review from a 1 star to a 5 star very soon! We are more than happy to have that conversation with you and address any ongoing concerns you have. Thanks Rachel.

### "a CRM solution that was ultimately a good fit for our business (Dental Practice)"

June 20, 2025

5.0

Overall, our first experience with CRM was not very good to say the least. There were many complaints from myself and my staff. Nowadays everyone is using the CRM and we rarely encounter any issues. Should we have issues, I appreciate being able to ring up and speak to a member of the team. The team has been friendly and always willing to listen and understand our problems. I appreciate that they try to provide me with a solution rather than sell me a product. I have always advocated for supporting local australian businesses and was initially questioning my choice. Now as a business owner, I am very glad we chose to be with CRM and stayed.

Pros

As a system, Tall Emu CRM was very easy to set up and the integration with MYOB was quick and minimal effort. We've had issues with other software before where the integration with MYOB was a nightmare and caused a mess with our data. For Tall Emu we only had to log in and confirm the connection. Previously I would say that the quality of their support times was one of their weakest points but this has since changed since \[sensitive content hidden\] acquiring the business back. Having a local support we can ring up and pop into a meeting with is now a heavy advantage of CRM and we benefit from it greatly on the manage support package. Recently, we paid for some development work to build features on the system for my business. The goal was to automate processes and help my staff do less on excel. I am looking forward to the feature and am excited for further custom work depending on the outcome.

Cons

There were a number of pain points with Tall Emu. Our first impression was the system was great. The Sales people sold us on a solution for our business and we were excited to get started. When he had purchased the software, there was no onboarding package and so we had to self onboard. This lead to a lot of mistakes on our end which caused for a number of discrepancies between our accounting and CRM. We had asked for some form of onboarding back then but were denied of further support there and went on with months not using the system. The support team did make an effort and after a good amount of back and forth, we had our issues resolved and our accounts were fixed. Regardless, the reaching out for help and not receiving any at the beginning was very frustrating. Overall set up of the system took us quite some time as we figured it out ourselves. We did eventually get some help once \[sensitive content hidden\] had reacquired the business and were able to exponentially utilise the system more from there. To my knowledge, they do offer an onboarding package now which sounds to be exactly what we wanted at time of purchase. This is unfortunately much too late for us but we would recommend anyone getting Tall Emu to get the proper help lest you end up like us with a few wasted months and money down the drain.

### "A Game-Changer for Small Manufacturing Businesses"

October 22, 2024

5.0

I highly recommend Tall Emu CRM for small businesses looking for a user-friendly customer relationship management solution. As someone who has worked in technology for over 25 years as a developer, Senior Business Analyst, and Quality Control and Tester Manager, I can confidently say that I've never encountered a CRM that offers such comprehensive manufacturing and inventory features. This combination is perfect for small manufacturing businesses. The interface is intuitive and can be easily customized by non-developers, making it accessible for everyone in the team. Additionally, the support team is incredibly polite and easy to work with. They are always available to assist whenever needed, ensuring a smooth experience. If you're in the market for a CRM that meets both customer management and manufacturing needs, Tall Emu CRM is an excellent choice!

Pros

1) The intuitive design allows easy navigation and customization without requiring technical expertise. 2)It combines robust CRM capabilities with specialized manufacturing and inventory management tools, making it ideal for small manufacturers. 3)The support team is responsive, polite, and readily available to assist with any inquiries or issues.

Cons

While the basic functionalities are straightforward, some advanced features may require a bit more time to fully understand and utilize.

Pros

how easy it is to set up and use, it has wide range of options and suits my need perfectly

October 25, 2024

5.0

We were a new business and wanted a common platform to operate both as a CRM and Order Management through to Logistics and Tall Emu is ideal for this. It is intuitive, we were actually live prior to the onboarding, it REALLY is that easy to use.

Pros

The speed at which we could get operational, simplicity is the key!

Cons

Following the acquisition the service levels fell of. Now back with the founder, service levels expected to return to previous levels.

### "Easy to use out of the box"

June 24, 2020

4.0

Good experience - without wanting to sound too jingoistic fantastic to have an Australian product of this quality in the market at a price that is accessible for small business.

Pros

Ease of use/implementation - if you have used CRM systems before and especially if you understand the taxonomy of your sales process/cycle this product is incredibly easy to get a handle on and doesn't require extensive training or long implementation period. Ability to use on the move and integration with 3rd party applications is also really good. Little cool features like importing your clients logo when you include a website in their profile, map function.

Cons

nothing is perfect but a lot of the opportunities we noticed for improvement look to be in the development pipeline - albeit with a small group of users who have tested it for us so far there are not major issues.

August 19, 2015

Over the years I have tried a number of CRM systems and always found them frustrating to use, unreliable and difficult to customise. In contrast, Tall Emu CRM has a very intuitive interface and its easy to use. It has been very reliable in the three years I have been using it, and it is very customisable. Tall Emu CRM integrates well with our accounting package (MYOB Premier 19.5) and with MS Outlook. The free Mobile CRM app is a very useful recent addition.

It has been a very involved process to get things working correctly however to their credit the people at Tall Emu have clearly been improving on their product and service over the last month.

Pros

Hi Fraser, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Since Tall Emu was reacquired from MYOB (16 September 2024) by one of Tall Emu's original founders/owners, we have been addressing customer issues and challenges and made significant progress. We are continuing to make some pretty exciting improvements to the CRM itself, as well as massive changes made already to our help desk/ support and how we work with our customers to get the best out of Tall Emu. Look forward to working with you to do the same, for a long time to come. Thanks, Rachel.

### "From hero to zero."

July 25, 2024

2.0

When we first implemented the system just over 12 months ago, it was fantastic. Whilst I have some 'work-arounds' in our processes, for an 'off the shelf' system it was ideal for our needs. Whilst we still find it good for sales and inventory management, the major issues with integration with our finance system, stemming from changes TE have implemented, means we are now questioning if we need to look at a different system going forward. We have gone from a robust, working system to one that is now very fragile.

Pros

The ability to capture all our possible 100,000 + product items so that quotes and sales orders can be raised without needing to look up or enter new data. The software has removed at least three stages of manual data entry from our processes which has had a significant impact on efficiency.

Cons

Sadly, recent updates done by Tall Emu have significantly impacted our business and the ability of the system to integrate with Xero, our accounting system. Help information is either non-existent or out-of-date. Help desk staff try to be helpful but seem to lack basic accounting knowledge so cannot work through issues. Harder issues are just not fixed.

Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM

It is able to manage the large number of products that we potentially sell.

Hi Alison, It's really disappointing to hear of your experience. As of 16 September, Tall Emu was reacquired from MYOB by one of the original founders. Since then, we have been contacting Tall Emu customers to make sure their outstanding and ongoing concerns are addressed. We have a completely different way of working now, and ensuring customers receive the best support is top of our list. I understand that we've been in quite a bit of communication with you to ensure you are on track with Tall Emu (since the reacquisition). I hope the changes and communication you've had in the past few weeks has changed the way you view Tall Emu and the investment you have made. We'd love to turn your 1 star into a 5-star review, and if there's anything else we can do to make this happen - we would welcome that conversation! Thanks Rachel.

### "ABSOLUTELY iabolical"

July 23, 2024

1.0

A complete disaster. Really bad service, bad support and a completely under build software package.....a complete waste of $1500

Pros

The price is what I liked because I'm a small business and having used CIN7 in my last company I didnt have the cash flow for that.

Cons

Customer support and training is ridiculous, 2 hours of training for $600 is the worst deal you can imagine. Nothing is easy in this software and is laboriously hard to navigate when imputing in inventory items. Changing the look of your invoices requires you to have an in-depth knowledge of word and nothing is simple. I rang help numerous times with no answer, left messages, wrote emails and got nothing for at least a week. Dont touch this with a badge pole

Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM

Cost effective, but this is not right

I liked using Tall Emu however due to decisions higher up the chain, we moved to different CRM. Tall Emu as simple and easy to use.

Pros

The onshore team based in Sydney were very knowledgeable and keen to assist where possible. Tall Emu has come a long way since we first started using it.

Hi Andrew, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review for Tall Emu CRM. It’s great to hear you enjoyed using the system and had a good experience with our team. I’m not sure of your exact circumstances with Xero integration challenges, or if it was isolated, but Tall Emu certainly has excellent integration with Xero, as well as MYOB and other business apps. Thanks again and hopefully we can work together again in the future! Rachel, Tall Emu.

### "A great tool for our sales workflow"

September 13, 2023

5.0

Our overall experience with Tall Emu has been truly exceptional. It has enabled us to significantly enhance our lead conversion rate, enabling us to achieve our KPIs with greater efficiency. The automation features in our marketing efforts have proven to be particularly efficient, leading to improved customer relationships. Additionally, we've found immense value in its customizable contact database, automated communication log, customer timeline, and a host of other features. These functionalities have fostered a sense of unity within our sales team. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Tall Emu to any business looking to streamline their processes and elevate their productivity to the next level.

Pros

Tall Emu has revolutionised how we manage our contacts and follow up on leads. Everything is streamlined and organised, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. Having everything in a single, user-friendly platform is a game-changer! Whether it's nurturing new leads or handling sales orders and invoicing, Tall Emu has been an invaluable asset to our business.

Cons

While Tall Emu has significantly enhanced our contact management and lead follow-up, one area that could benefit from improvement is the availability of more extensive workflow automation settings. This enhancement would further streamline our operations and empower us to achieve even greater efficiency in our processes.

Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM

We opted for Tall Emu instead of other CRM software options due to its Australian roots. We sought customer support that was not only geographically closer but also well-acquainted with our business operations. The seamless integration with MYOB, our primary accounting software, was also a pivotal factor in our decision. It simply aligned perfectly with our needs, making Tall Emu the clear choice for us!

### "Versatile, feature-rich software with great tech support"

May 21, 2023

5.0

We started using the CRM to fill some of the huge gaps that Xero had in customer-facing documents; multiple addresses per customer, parent/child customer accounts to name a couple. It did this with ease, and we now use Tall Emu for any customer-facing documents except for statements. But we found Tall Emu CRM to fill so many other gaps in our day-to-day business running, we have set Tall Emu tabs up on most computers as the default window that opens when you start up the browsers.We're using the CRM as an ERP, for generating invoices, quotes, purchase orders, processing payments in, managing stock, organising our manufacturing throughput with BOM's, tracking costs, and more.

Pros

Initially using the software - importing data from our accounting platform Xero. All our previous contacts, quotes, invoices, purchase orders etc were brought accross from Xero which saved untold amount of time setting it up, and made it easy for the team to start using the CRM straight away. The support team at Tall Emu are responsive and knowlegable. The software is good out of the box, but any features that would be beneficial to all users do get considered for adding to the core. The team are actively looking to improve their product which is great.The software is so comprehensive, very easy to mould it to any business model, even if sometimes some workarounds are needed.

Cons

Reports are a bit lacking, it would be good to have customisable reports becasue some of the preset reports are a bit useless. We've started filtering sales information and exporting to Excel to get the reports we need (we have to export to Excel for our accountant anyhow).Serial numbers module is a little hard to understand how to use, we've started manually entering these instead, for the time being. Would be nice to be able to use serial numbers for different components in a BOM, and have these values show on the sales paperwork.Transparency with the cost of some of the linked services, i.e. Machship - while the integration is free, Machship itself has only a paid service. The sales documentation made it seem like this was included. All web based which means activating it from a mobile device is difficult - an app would make this so much easier to navigate. Emails sent from Tall Emu CRM are prone to going into junk mail. From my experience it's an issue that happens to a lot of services using SMTP emails.

Hi Jethro, Thanks so much for your comprehensive review of Tall Emu CRM. We really appreciate you taking the time to compile your thoughts – pros and cons – and would like to address some of your feedback. We have custom reports on our development roadmap – and all our customers will be advised when this is available. Serial numbers – can now be bulk imported (https://help.tallemucrm.com/general-help/help-articles/about-inventory/stocktakes/) and we also have a development task in train to allow copy & paste of bulk serial numbers on a purchase order. Regarding our integration via Machship, we absolutely take your point on this & will review our communications to ensure that it's clear there is a third-party service fee (via the third party, not Tall Emu) to utilise this feature. We appreciate you calling this out! Regarding your comment on emails going to junk, we suggest our customers switch from SMTP to Tall Emu email (https://help.tallemucrm.com/general-help/setup-guides/crm-integrations/setting-up-emails-crm/). You're right, it's quite well known that services using SMTP emails experience issues – hence why some big companies like Microsoft are stepping away due to inadequate security. Finally, on mobile – yes we hear you! We are working on making the mobile version of CRM much more user friendly. Thanks again Jethro – your feedback is really important to us. For any further questions please contact our Helpdesk – located in Sydney – who are looking forward to helping you and your business whenever you need it.

### "A CRM that compliments and expands your MYOB capabilities"

November 23, 2022

5.0

We have been looking for a CRM for a long time and needed to find a software that caters not only for our sales team but also one that would incorporate our existing processes and accounting system ie MYOB. We had looked at other softwares but the MYOB integration was not available so they only did half the job. The MYOB integration and comprehensive modules selection made us feel that Tall Emu was the perfect, and obvious choice for our business for now and as our company grows. With Tall Emu being owned by MYOB there is also the comfort of knowing that the product will continue to grow and improve. Unlike other off-the-shelve softwares, the support has been excellent with quick responses when required.

Pros

\- Integration with MYOB data- Expanded Inventory management features including Landing costs- Lead management- Email integration- Comprehensive data capture - Ability to export data to Excel- Excellent customer support- Expansive array of modules for business that go far beyond MYOB's current capabilities, these including manufacturing, inventory management, project management, marketing etc. We are not currently using all of these modules but look forward to incorporating them into our business processes as our company expands.

Cons

\- User interface is a bit old school but I have been advised that this is will be changed and enhanced in the near future

Reason for choosing Tall Emu CRM

We chose Tall Emu over other products because our business relies on MYOB software. As our company is growing we require not only a CRM for sales management now but we will require more comprehensive inventory management, project management and manufacturing controls in the near future. Tall Emu caters for these needs. In addition to this, Tall Emu is owned by MYOB so there is comfort in knowing that the integration and support guarantees you will have the best product that works with MYOB now and in the future.

### "Tall Emu CRM "

May 23, 2023

4.0

Pros

The customer service at this company is very good. They are responsive to all our questions at timely manner.

Cons

\-The possibility of adding the weight per unit for each product, which would enable the automatic calculation of the weight of the order. (instead of adding weight in the product description).-alert option when a customer exceeds their credit limit. It is very essential to have a clear image of the customer prior to process the order.
