### "Good product with lots of features "

December 28, 2024

5.0

I have used busy accounting software for one of my client and I am happy with this software. It's is smooth and dashboard is quite good. Anyone can use this easily. No training required for this. And easily support is available for this if you are encountering any problem.

Pros

Easy to use. simple and lots of features. Busy is very good accounting software with good features for small businesses.

Cons

As mentioned above it is good for small businesses. If you have lots of data and you need to do lots of accounting activities. Then this is not for you.

### "Busy is good, but needs few features to make it best"

November 30, 2023

5.0

Overall expereince is good, just need an native desktop application with in cloud support instad of using third party softwares to achieve the same.

Pros

It is easy to use with all the finctionalities required for my business. The work which includes mostly working with excel, busy provides an excellent solution for that.

Cons

It does not provide in application cloud support as tally does. For the cloud you need to buy an rdp client and then busy runs on that, which makes it less userfriendly especially for me who has multiple branches of same business and need to have a centralised billing. The server is local if using a native application and if something happens to the pc, the whole data is corrupted and is lost which is a major disadvantage and rdp block most of the features and incleases the steps to download an excel or pdf.

Reason for choosing BUSY

Busy provides handful of features to work with excels which is very much required for my business

October 4, 2025

1.0

Overall Experience has been very bad every time new person come to solve your problem & Problem never get solved .If the Product dont work they dont return money.

Pros

There nothing which you like.Highly disappointing. even if there product is not working they charge you.Once they download there software on your machine their job done.They dont bother weather client is using it or not .

Cons

There is a Huge Communication Gap Between sales & Delivery.I have described all my problem to sales people .They told me go for Busy all your problem will be solved.I have asked them to use product for 1 month .They charged 5000 + GST for 2 month.I have not used there product even for a Day.They denied to return my money.there team was not able to upload my tally Data to busy.So Please be cautious before paying full amount.

### "Very Unprofessional Software Services "

January 13, 2025

1.0

The Software and Services are very bad. If inform about issues they only inform that we will inform. I will recommend no one should buy this software.

Pros

The Software marketing team is very good in pitching for buying of Software.

Cons

I am a Chartered Accountant.The software is very tedious and complicated in working. They sales manager comes and pitch for the software buying by assuring for services and take software fees immediately. And when issues are raised they don't pick the call nor they give satisfactory solution. And on being dissatisfied, we ask for refund of software fees, they say it is not possible.

December 6, 2023

5.0

Okish. Its ok to use on a daily basis for our work.

Pros

Good software for daily accounting and inventory management usage

Cons

Customer Support. The staffs are not trained properly in Tier 1 and they always goof up with the system. Without our permission they click here and there on Anydesk and ruin the settings. Then once you escalate the senior team sorts out the issue/

1.0

Should not have opted for Busy in the first place. Regret using this software

Pros

Nothing worthy to mention. There are better software available at a better price than Busy

Cons

The support team at Busy are not worthy to be called support team at all. Pricing of software changes at their will and they only know to extort money from the users. After using busy shifting to other SAS provider.

### "Best Accounting Software for Business"

August 20, 2022

5.0

my overall experience with busy is great, i am using this software from past 6+year and it made my life easy in accounts. previously i was using tally prime which quite difficult to operate and no fresh user can use it but here it so easy to operate for fresh and new users too. Invoice creation was so time consuming work by doing manually but in busy software it so steady and quick

Pros

Busy is super easy to operate as it does not require any special course or training before using it. busy comes with tons of features like billing and invoice creation which other accounting software doesn't have. i can easily operate it, maintain ledger and accounts. busy made my work easy in daily life official work. financial statements, account statements , sales report and summary all are available here.

Cons

The only i did not like is that i paid for whole software and i cannot use it without hardware key and it is difficult to operate your old data once you upgrade to next version. you would need assistance from customer support to do so.

### "Busy for Accounting and Sale Representatives"

November 14, 2020

5.0

I had been administering the product with its installation on the server and on all the employee's computers from creating accounts and providing remote desktop access so that all the sales and accounting representatives can work in a centralized manner and keeping the inventory up to date with the new and up coming products to feed into the system along with their specifications and cost per item or full carton costs along with Sales Tax, GST, etc. I was also Creating sale order, purchase order, sale invoices and kept updating the inventory.

Pros

It has many features including forecasting, inventory management, ledger management, tax management, customizable reporting and very easy to use for non-technical employees.

Cons

We were using a desktop application and it had some security loopholes due to which our server kept getting attached by ransomware and other cyber attacks due to which we had to take daily backups, which after a point got very annoying.

The experience with the busy product as a partner is not much happier.

Pros

Easy to use for non-accounting peoples. Product is good for small and mid-size businesses.

Cons

Renewal cost is very high. Company management only want to make money in a short period therefore they are making policies which is not familiar with customers as well as partners. Now the impact on customers is going very bad.
