Pros This program has a depth of options and functionality that allow you to tailor it to your specific needs. The options that are there allow you to use the software other than just its intended use. It does accounting well but you can also use the software to track inventory, generate cases, maintain notes and client information as well as many other things. Support staff is very helpful and the developers work hard to continuously improve their product. Cons Would be nice if it had a dedicated CRM module. Review Source KM Kevin M.

I have used various programs throughout my career including SAP, IFS, & JDEdwards. I would rank ActivityHD up there with them all for functionality and in some areas it is superior. Pros I like the availability and promptness of the support that is offered. Anytime we have an issue I can always depend on it being resolved quickly. Cons My biggest issue with ActivityHD is that I am constantly getting disconnected. I don't know if that is an issue with our local servers or an issue with ActivityHD. But it is very frustrating when you are in the middle of something and you get disconnected from the program. Review Source MC Matt C. CEO Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product for Company" February 13, 2020 4.0 Pros A custom software that can be used for an entire company in all aspects of the accounting system. Including asset management, payroll, and bank rec. It ties back to the General Ledger account codes and is very easy to manipulate. Cons It can be tough to manage the formulas that handle the expressions and computations behind the scenes. Review Source CH Cindy H. Payroll Administrator Government Relations Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Payroll Administrator" December 12, 2024 5.0 Great relationship with the software and the team.

Accounting and Human Resources Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "New User Review" December 12, 2024 5.0 Pros I am new to this software and have adapted quickly. If I have a question, the customer support is always quick to answer and teach at the same time. Cons It is a process learning all the ins and outs. Not as easy to use as other programs. Review Source JM Jennifer M. Controller Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounting Software Made for ALL Users" February 13, 2020 5.0 We have been with the ActivityHD family of companies for over 20 years, back when they were a DOS based software. The full packages is unmatched. We currently use all packages that the software offers, and run multiple companies in the software. Our payroll has been cut down from 2 days to 3 hours; I can now monitor our sales department through the contracts package; bank recs take minutes, not hours. I also rely on the security features that ActivityHD offers. Users can be restricted to certain packages, and then only limited parts inside that package. You never have to worry about a random user seeing payroll data, or any other sensitive information. ActivityHD is also pairing with other companies and providers to add addition services - like timekeeping and employee on-boarding - that integrates directly into the software. They are on the cutting edge of technology but keep a customer service level that is second to none. Pros ActivityHD is the most comprehensive accounting package out there. It is built for all aspects of your business, not just payroll, or general ledger. The ability to run purchase orders and contracts directly through the software and feed into your accounting suite is a game changer for the industry. The software is also easy enough for an entry level bookkeeper (or non-accounting staff) but offers reporting and features that the most demanding controller or CEO will find exceeds expectations. The software is also fully custom, allowing you to use a single piece, or the entire package. This is not an off-the-shelf purchase and you never hear from the company. From the sale, to the implementation, and to the random issues you have throughout the year, you are in constant contact with the ActivityHD team, and they become an extension of your business, and in some cases, valued friends. Cons I don't have any complaints - the programmers are open to any suggestion you have about the software, and are constantly upgrading based on those requests. Review Source JW Judy W. HR/Payroll Administrator Banking Officer Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Payroll Software" February 13, 2020 5.0 Awesome! Pros My most favorite thing about Activity is the imports, City Bank has lots of extra benefits and the imports make my job so much easier. Not to mention as large as we are we need something that makes us more efficient, and the large amount of information that goes into each payroll the imports helps with errors. Second favorite thing is the support Activity gives you, I never have to wait long when there is a problem on payroll and I need assistant. they always go beyond the call of duty to take care of you and a very timely manor. They are always very kind and they never make feel uneducated. Cons Leave Balance, I don't like that when swipeclock goes into payroll it allows a negative balance. There is a filter we have to use after each payroll to take care of negative balances. I also wish that we could get our swipeclock leave balance to be more like our payroll portal. Activity support group has been wonderful at helping us come up with ideas as swipeclock never had a leave balance before, with the help of Activity we now have one and our employees love it more so then the payroll portal. This con is working process so over all we have come along way and I greatful for the support team at Activity.

Accounting Officer Specialist Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Activity HD Review" October 16, 2018 4.0 This software has any number of valuable records keeping functions that allow for specialized formatting.

The system can be made as simple or as intricate as the need arises Pros It is user friendly and can be programmed to suit an individual fair's needs. Financial documents can be created and reused.

Pros Easy to use; extremely capable & flexible; great support; Meets needs of most business environments. Best product for the investment in software. Each update/version offers more capability, features and ease of use. This is the only software I have used where the upgrades are totally painless. All upgrade conversions are handled with virtually no manual work required. Compared to Great Plains and Solomon, which I have used, Activty is heavenly. Cons Some of the documentation a little vague as to where to fix warning and/or eror messages. Review Source RZ Rudy Z. Used the software for: ### "Great product, fantastic support" December 12, 2016 5.0 We brought this product in as a temporary replacement for an out-of-support legacy system. Within six weeks we had the legacy data converted and were up and running. The application was so intuitive and easy to work with that the learning curve was practically non-existent. Since go-live five years ago, it has gained business popularity and expanded areas of use. Future expansions are also being discussed. Review Source BL Brenda L.

Review Source MF Marcy F. Treasury Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Beyond Priceless" May 14, 2026 5.0 Having used various ERP systems, ActivityHD is truly a game changer. I cannot say enough about their support team, who absolutely the best I have ever worked with The system is very user-friendly, and there are numerous ways to find data through their filter capabilities. The ability to export data directly into Excel is outstanding compared to other ERP systems. The ability to create new set of books and accounts is also seamless and efficient. The training proved by \[sensitive content hidden\] has been exceptional. Her knowledge of the system and patience throughout the training process went far beyond my expectations. You can immediately tell when some genuinely loves what they do, and \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team are truly a joy to work with. Pros One of the things I love the most about ActivityHD is their support team. Their support team is the best I have ever worked with. They are responsive, knowledgeable, and always on top of their game. Another feature I really appreciate is their BOT automation tool. This automation has saved me a tremendous amount of time entering payables and receivable. This type of automation is truly priceless. This is also followed up by their chargeback feature, which allows me to enter an invoice once and then creates a receivable while also entering the payable for related entities. That functionality alone has brought me to tears because it is a game changer for chargebacks. The time it has saved me is crazy. Cons It is not a big issue, but there can be quite a bit of click, click, click to navigate where you need to go. That said, I would not consider it a con because the over features and efficiencies the system provides far outweigh that very small inconvenience.

Especially when labor and staffing creates their challenges and accuracy issues! Pros Love the extra GL feature in AP and AR that eliminates the need for journal entries! Allowing entities to either defer their income and expenses and post them into the period of revenue/expenses without revisiting the transaction at a later date! Cons Can't really think of anything specific that Activity does not meet my needs! The help tools and webinars are great but for the basic users, the training tools are a bit complicated. Review Source TC Travis C. Development Officer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Product and Even Better Customer Service" May 6, 2026 4.0 It's been great. Honestly, I wish we had switched over sooner. The implementation was smooth and now we've been using for a while our finance department is way more efficient. Pros The customer support hands down is the reason I would recommend this product. The company has been unbelievably responsive and showed patience through the whole implementation process. Highly recommend, especially for anyone using the Tessitura software. Cons Not many cons. It can be overwhelming at first if you're not familiar with this type of software. However, there is no question too basic for the support team to answer. They break down any confusion you may experience in a way that is helpful, constructive, and in a way that doesn't make you feel dumb for not understanding.
