Pros simple use for data entry within the software, simple offline product to use for accounting & bookkeeping. Cons difficult to import the transactions with the help of excel. and little bit difficult to change and customize reports Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Not a choice if you plan to grow" August 21, 2018 1.0 Pros Cheap, easy to set up, basically does the job that you need it to do. Cons Once on it, you cannot graduate to Account Right Live or other products if your organisation grows. You are basically stuck on a sub standard product. App ecosystem is not robust. Review Source Kirsten R. Accounting Contractor Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A good option" October 9, 2018 4.0 Pros That it is pretty user friendly and you can do most functions you want to Cons You need to have a good understanding about bookkeeping Review Source JB Jade B. Office manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good basic accounts system" January 12, 2018 4.0 Pros Simple in most cases to use and looks good, integrates with our hire software well , if any issues the help section normally answers the query so no need for customer service. Cons I have found it to be slow and sluggish at times, some of the processes are over complicated and difficult to understand/process. Review Source KZ Karen Z. Director Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mostly good" January 11, 2017 4.0 I've been using MYOB for many years, mainly to raise invoices and purchases, plus to track the P&L and balance sheet. It's a pretty robust product that doesn't need specialist instruction to use the basic functions, but it started getting pretty annoying when I upgraded late 2013 and now one has to be connected to the internet in order to use it. That means if your internet connection is down or you're out of WIFI reach on the road, you can't do anything with your company files. That's my biggest complaint. Pros Fairly easy to use; robust Cons You have to have internet connection to use your company files. Review Source GL Glenn L. Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Can not export or import anything useful. Locked in." October 13, 2017 1.0 I would avoid unless you only want to use it for a small business with no plans to grow to the stage where you need to upgrade your accounting software. Also requires a internet connection to run. Pros Easy to use for a small business. Its web based so you dont need to install any software, and you can use it from any location where you have internet access. Cons Import and export data options VERY limited. Can only import items and contacts, can only export a account and journal summary for your accountant. This means you cant use Essentials with a 3rd part system, or export your data if you later decide to stop using Essentials, effectively locking you in. Would make it difficult for a growing business to upgrade to a more advanced accounting system, you would need to manually enter all your records from scratch. Review Source DK Denise K. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Make life easier" April 5, 2018 5.0 Pros I have been using the web-based MYOB since its launch back in 2012. The functionalities and the interface/look have been improved over the years. I like it because it is web-based, so I don't need to export the accounts and send it to our accountant, also be able to work on the same and updated info from anywhere. Cons The subscription price has been increased a lot over the years. I used to pay around monthly and now it costs around. So, for a light user, it's expensive. But well, I guess I pay for the convenience. The interface is not the most intuitive, but once it's learned, it's easy. Review Source NB Nicola B. Bookeeper Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very Simple and easy to use, lacking in a few areas but good for a small business just starting out" June 5, 2018 4.0 Pros Very easy to navigate and simple to use. Search function for invoices is good now that you can see POs. Cons Wish it would export data to excel!! Had to manually build a database of 300 invoices! Too easy to go back and delete stuff too which then doesn't stay on the audit trail, once it's gone it's gone! Would like to see some detail from the invoice when it searched for rather than having to go into it. Review Source MF Melanie F. Retail Clerk Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use for Small Business" October 4, 2018 4.0 I've been using MYOB Essentials for about 2 years now. It's a simple system for a small business. Pros Great import feature for bank accounts (main bank accounts are available - some smaller banks are not able to auto import) Simple payroll functionality Easy account reconciliation Cons There is no simple search facility across the database - you have to enter each screen to perform a search Reports are hard to find and dates are Review Source TK Travis K. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fun and simple to use for small businesses" May 15, 2019 5.0 Pros Reconciling the bank, making invoices and categorising expenses is easy Cons There are a lot of desktop versions of MYOB and it can be seriously confusing trying to figure out which version you need to open when you receive and client file. Review Source SM Simon M. Accountant Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" October 11, 2017 4.0 Pros Basic Accounting functions for the new staff to use. Very good graphical user interface. icons are very clear Cons Poor budgeting modules when trying to incorporate different departments. Relies on internet with cloud service. Review Source Les W. CEO and Lead Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A good accounting program for small business" October 19, 2018 4.0 running a small business is easier with this program. Pros Very traditional, easy to use accounting package that is easy for non-accountants to use. Cons It costs a lot, considering its simplicity. Review Source Darren W.

I like when they change a function, that they teach u how to use it with little instruction pop ups. Cons I find that the dashboard figures aren't always accurate with my bank accounts. Sometimes the layout can be confusing. Review Source RM Rohan M. Director Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Poor product Poor support Over priced" November 12, 2018 1.0 Over priced, they don't care about their customers Pros There is nothing I like about MYOB, a product which I have used for 15 years. I'm locked in and cant move. Cons Every thing. Customer service is non existent and its way over priced. Review Source YA Yvonne A. Finance Management Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "MYOB uses visuals to explain the numbers" May 12, 2019 5.0 Pros MYOB uses visuals to explain the cash in and cash out of the business in a way that makes it easy to see the big picture of what's going on. This makes it easy to explain the information in a way that my clients can understand Cons It can take some getting used to set up all the accounts you need to run a business. But that’s the same for any accounting software Review Source MT Malcolm T. Director Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Frustrating" November 9, 2017 1.0 Cons Lack of Support. It would be supportive if after long waiting for call backs that return callers could call back if phone-call gets disconnected; instead of leaving customer stranded without a Solution and left to make their own call-back puting them back on a long waiting Queue, even after already being diverted onto another long Queue!!!
