### "I like using the Jonas software."

April 10, 2015

4.5

Pros

The Jonas program is easy to use. It is great for multiple unions. When there are payroll question, the support staff is quick to get back to us.

Cons

The larger number of character spaces for invoices number, purchase order, payment (cheque number).

### "Great fully integrated software!"

March 13, 2014

4.5

Pros

We had to find a software that would allow us to have lots of options in terms of reporting, as well as something that would eliminate the double entry of our payroll and separate job costing functions. We have fully implemented Jonas with all three of our companies and can quickly and easily pull reports for all of our companies at once with the consolidated reporting. This has allowed us be more in touch with our field employees and made cost tracking much easier.

Cons

The subcontract module works well for those who are required to submit payment certificates to their subcontractors. In the pipeline industry, we have found it most helpful to use purchase orders, as the PO module is very specific.

### "TOPS for Customer Service and Training"

September 3, 2015

5.0

Pros

Jonas support and training has been amazing and such an example of what true customer service is. More companies could learn from Jonas how to properly train and walk alongside a client to offer support, especially through the learning process.

Cons

The learning process is probably what I like least about Jonas right now, and that really has nothing to do with Jonas itself, but just the process of having to learn something new. It is always difficult to make a change, and learning the flow of the product is taking time. The abundant help documents have been useful in some situations, but they don't always have a clear answer depending upon what it has to do with. It is the difference in companies and applications that make it hard to provide clear direction sometimes, but when we (Dorsett's) have asked questions, Jonas is always quick to respond and help us work through issues.

### "Great program that keeps developing and moving forward"

March 21, 2014

4.5

Pros

I have been using this software since 2011 and have found it to meet and exceed my expectations. I use it to manage the Service Department of our company; however, we also use it in our Construction Division and Retrofit. It manages our entire back end in Accounting, Inventory, and Payroll as well. I manage hundreds of client service contracts and T&M service work with Jonas. It mines all the data I put in so that I get out beautiful reporting and retain customer history. I have had great customer service from Jonas, and they have always been open to suggestions as well; they keep on developing for their customer's needs.

Cons

Honestly, there is nothing I do not like. I have not had any issues.

4.5

### "Great Support"

June 7, 2017

5.0

Unified changes and continuity between multiple company locations.

Pros

Works great for companies that have large or multiple locations that need to have unified information. Support is very easy to talk to and know their product inside and out.

Cons

Large reports can sometimes takes a VERY long time to run. System is hard to jump into for newer employees without any training.

### "Comprehensive Software"

June 5, 2017

5.0

Pros

Jonas provides many modules of an ERP system. The electronic timesheets module is excellent! Remote users can easily enter their time from anywhere they have access to the internet.

Cons

The user interface of the inventory management component is a bit dated. Need to move to web based platform.

### "Happy User"

March 11, 2014

5.0

We've using Jonas for about 5 years. Implementation of the system was relatively easy with the consultant. He was available to us whenever we needed him and the conversion from Aacpac was pretty smooth with all the files being converted to CSV files and imported. Having a dedicated support person for the first six months was a great help. We called her constantly for small issues and always got a great response and solution. The support over the years has been excellent with quick responses and fixes. Not a lot to complain about with the program some small glitches with inventory but that is usually handled pretty quickly and solutions found. Overall impression of this product is that it does exactly what we need it to do. If you have people who are at ease with technology you will have few issues.

We are proud to be a member of the Jonas family. We are now entering our seventh year with this solution, and I'm happy to say we appreciate the support and professionalism we receive from Jonas Software representatives. They have a very quick response time on any queries and/or concerns that users may have, and will go the distance to ensure that we understand all aspects and functions of the software system. Time is no concern for them - they are patient and respectable. Jonas is very user-friendly, from the software system itself to the representatives who cater to your every need. Their software is up-to-date with the business challenges we face every day. Jonas Software offers the security, reliability, and ensured accuracy that you want for your data. Thumbs up!

### "Overall a comprehensive database and services"

April 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

Has all of the features that you would expect of a comprehensive database and easy to learn how to use.

Cons

When making changes or upgrading the version, it has not always been smooth. It took a group of individuals working together to fully understand the changes that were included in the new version.

### "Highly Recommended!"

May 9, 2014

4.0

Pros

The best part is the comprehensiveness of Jonas. We do all of our accounting and job costing in Jonas. The best part is that as time passes, the more we can do in Jonas (example: contact lists/document management system).

Cons

What I like least is the lack of ability to drill down to GL detail level (journal entry or Job Cost details from GL). I must add that Jonas has made a huge push in the last few years to encourage users to suggest/vote for/promote new ideas. This allow them to focus on users' "cons."

January 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

The system is super easy to understand and use, it is able to keep good track of all data flows and entries, a very good combination of accounting software and project management

Cons

A bit pricy Price is definitely in the higher range of the market, but worth it. Convinced my director to utilize in a very hard way.

### "Great integrated program"

December 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

Schedule dispatching is a fantastic function and the integration of accounting and time tracking is top notch

Cons

We have a lot of custom home projects with heavy client involvement. The interface on the client side is not as great. Windows based origins made it difficult for some of our workstations

### "Too many steps to get results"

June 29, 2014

2.5

Pros

I like that I can change and add parts/labor after the job has been billed. Also, I like that I can change the work order number on the PO without having to move around parts. I love that I can change the bill very easily and that the same site can have different bill to's on the same account.

Cons

There are too many steps to get out an invoice. It is very hard to look up an invoice number. Inputting the tech's time takes too long, and taking out parts/time requires too many steps.

### "Learning to use Jonas has been smooth and pain free. Exiting what you can do with the program"

January 8, 2019

5.0

Technicians in the field have good comments so far.

Pros

Ease of use and it's functionality. Opening WO's and issuing PO's is as simple as any program I have been involved with

Cons

As a remote user, it is often slow but that could be our system. I am still learning the reporting functions but they seem ok.

### "Jonas Ends Search for Accounting Software"

September 1, 2015

4.5

Pros

So far, Jonas Enterprise exceeds our expectations for accounting software. As we continue to maneuver through the modules and processes, we continue to discover little "extras" that's going to make our jobs easier.

Cons

As with any software, users would like the documentation to walk them through step by step. However, because every company's setup/profile is different, this becomes next to impossible. Given that, imagine if Jonas DID provide the most detailed product documentation?!? Their software is one of the best on the market. If Jonas focused on detailed documentation for each module/application, other vendors couldn't compare!

January 31, 2019

Overall we are quite satisfied with the product, the people we have dealt with and Jonas' support.

Pros

Fully featured, integrated accounting package. The Job Costing is detailed and the range of reports is extensive.

Cons

Setup was time consuming and the inability to enter field hours and usage without an internet connection is not good.

Pros

A progressive company that melds the accounting systems with the ease of use for those whose primary job is in the filed.

old program functions that haven't been fully removed. This may be because there are still some customers using them, unfortunately it become clutter.

Jonas Software's strengths include a low learning curve and a system that's easy to use. Reports are easy to write, and allow management team members to have at their fingertips the tools they need to make decisions. Fully integrated capability gives the entire team up-to-date information at any time it's needed. The system's weaknesses include slow run time for reports, and no job cost scheduling. Furthermore, we have to contact customer service several times before we receive help with our issues.

We have been using JONAS for our complete payroll, accounting, and job costing needs since 2006. We have grown considerably (number of companies and sales volume) since then, and it's comforting to know that JONAS has been growing along with us. They continue to add useful features and streamline processes. The customer service is very helpful, timely, and professional. I am proud to say we will continue to use JONAS for many years to come!
