Quality Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Acctivate works relatively well" June 9, 2017 4.0 Pros Acctivate is relatively easy to use. Tracking activities, customers, and orders is straight forward and easy to follow. Cons The biggest challenge with Acctivate is that it seems to crash for no obvious reason and sometimes with no warning. When this happens, whatever is being worked on is lost. Review Source TG Tim G. President Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why do I love Acctivate? Let me count the ways...." April 29, 2016 4.5 Pros Top-notch functionality and support. It uses SQL for the database and Crystal Reports for reporting which are expected these days for products of this type. The amount of detail and functionality is amazing. The programmers are awesome in some of the functionality they have come with. As an accountant, I can fully recommend the product to prospects without fear of a core functionality or need missing. Cons No online product, unless you use a hosting company. Review Source PB Pete B. Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Acctivate vs. QuickBooks Enterprise (with AI) - easy decision" May 9, 2016 5.0 Pros Acctivate goes far beyond QuickBooks Enterprise, even with Advanced Inventory. It brings preferences down to the customer and item level that are only available in QBES at a global level. It has CRM, customer service, bar coding, multiple warehouses, serial and lot number tracking, location and bin tracking, cost methods (LIFO, FIFO or Average Cost) at the item level, multiple units of measure at the item level and much, much more. For manufacturers and distributors with complex inventory management or compliance requirements, Acctivate can relieve all the pain points that you currently encounter with QuickBooks. Cons Can't think of anything. Terrific sales and support teams. Review Source fS frank S. IT Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "excellent company toi work with, great support, quick to response to any issue." January 25, 2017 5.0 Excellent experience they are sharp Very experience and always helpful. They have excellent knowledge and there knowledge base is great for help. Pros easy to use. Cons none Review Source FW FAITH W. Office Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Acctivate User for Five Years - Love it" April 14, 2016 5.0 Pros I love the drill-down capabilities, the search options, copy functions, the wizards, reports, etc. So much that I enjoy. Great system!! Cons There is no vendor box in Acctivate, like how there is a customer box. We are limited to the vendor info we can pull up unless we have Quickbooks on our computer, and not everyone has QB in our dept. Really wish they would incorporate that into the Acctivate program. Review Source AA Alison A. Admin Asst Food & Beverages Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Acctivate" August 6, 2019 5.0 Pros Support team is great! Always willing to help solve any issues! Cons There is a learning curve but once you get going it is easier Review Source JC James C. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Acctivate - Inventory Solution for the Growing SMB" April 28, 2016 4.5 Pros Love the fact that it is scalable, modules can be added one at a time, as the company grows. I also love the customer center as it incorporates great CRM functionality, many sales analysis at the users' fingertips, rather than having to run so many reports. Cons Wish it would integrate with QBO. I also wish it would have more integration with payroll. Review Source JB Joel B. Production Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not for my shop" November 10, 2016 3.0 This product has a low learning curve and easy to set up and use. It may be good for some businesses but it is not worth the money for ours. It works great for tracking inventory and bringing completed goods into our system and tracking them through to a sale. This is where it breaks down. We are a small business and do a lot of custom goods and small run manufacturing. There's not a lot to offer for the manufacturing side of our business. For a small shop, most of the functionality of this software can be done in Quickbooks. This product still requires quickbooks for accounting as well. The yearly maintenance fee, hard to swallow for what it does for our buisness. Pros Easy to use and update Cons Many glitches and bugs Little help with manufacturing Review Source TL Tong L. Owner Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product" April 20, 2016 5.0 Pros Easy to use, great help from activate for setup, all customer records are transparent, well organized, so does the inventory. Cons reports are always a struggle, using crystal report need some training. We have hard time to get the reports we need. Activate people are great, very helpful and personal. Review Source VM Vic M. Owner Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Acctivate is the best inventory add on for QuickBooks." April 28, 2016 5.0 Pros Implementation of acctivate is a smooth and painless process. Learning a new software can sometimes be stressful but acctivate is intuitive and easy to use. Cons Would love it if acctivate had more manufacturing features. Review Source KS Ken S. President Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ACCTivate! Easy, Powerful, Very Reasonably Priced" April 14, 2016 5.0 Pros The system is robust and always improving. The value for the price is unmatched Cons There is really nothing that I don't like about ACCTivate! Review Source JJS Justin June S. Account Officer Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "No need papers! " April 5, 2019 4.0 Pros I noticed this software is awesome in keeping records, also in inventory management and keep any transaction that will help you and the company. I like it so much. Cons It tends to crash if you are not updated in new version. Review Source LN Lisa N. President - CEO Used the software for: ### "Customer Services is outstanding" April 5, 2016 5.0 When working with so many software vendors; you dread picking up the phone or sending that email because you know you will get the run around no matter how thorough you are with your description. Not with Acctivate support! They have worked with us as the business model changed for our client. Support staff have been professional and helpful throughout our relationship! They are here to support us in the beginning and 3 years later! Review Source KH Kelly H. Controller Farming Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall good software" April 29, 2016 2.5 Pros Reports are optimized to run quickly with large database. Cons Limited ability to add detailed cost information to a product. Would like to have better CRM functions. Very poor support communications. Review Source FL Festus L. procurement and logistics management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It's very easy to use" February 21, 2019 5.0 Make cheaper in order everything small warehouse to use Pros Increase profit and inventory security Highly efficiency in industry, reduce loss in the warehouse Cons High expensive to implement, Need education to users, technology changed in every second so must need to go with it Review Source SM Shannon M. Used the software for: ### "Acctivate picks up where QB leaves off" December 9, 2016 5.0 Acctivate is a great inventory management software that integrates with QuickBooks. Their setup/onboarding process is great to assist with ensuring the file is setup for your business. The support team is great to work with. Acctivate picks up where QB leaves off offering a rounded solution for business owners. Review Source sB sarah B. customer service manager Used the software for: ### "A+ Easy to Use & Service is Outstanding" April 5, 2016 5.0 The software is easy to use. It's also very easy to teach yourself and learn new ways to use the system as well. All the self help forums are very helpful and informative. Also the remote support team is absolutely amazing. They are quick to respond and make things better if you are stuck or having an issue you can not fix. One con I have is that you can not attached a file to an email being sent from ACCtivate. Other than that not too many cons. When I do I learn from them and then i know the system that much better. Review Source DS Dianna S. Operations Manager Used the software for: ### "Does what you need ..." March 31, 2016 3.0 My ideal answer would have been middle of the road. For the cost of inventory software Acctivate does what you need it to, but not always easily. Each additional module cost another $1000 to $1500+. It is fair cumbersome to get the right report at first until you learn Crystal Reports filtering and you can't modify or personalize reports with out purchasing Crystal Reports. Import Export options can be clunky it is all a learning curve. Syncs fairly well with Quickbooks, fairly easy to learn. Review Source BG Brent G. President Used the software for: ### "Outstanding Capability for the price." March 24, 2016 5.0 The Acctivate Inventory system has been a great asset in helping our company achieve it's inventory tracking needs. The integration with our QuickBooks Wholesale Manufacturing Edition works well. We have been able to generate far more decision making reports with the help of some 3rd party customization. In the past the support was somewhat of an issue, but that seems not to be a problem anymore. Highly recommend for small to midsize companies with complex manufacturing and inventory needs. Review Source GS George S. Used the software for: ### "great product!" April 5, 2016 4.0 Acctivate is a great product that makes our business run pretty smooth. Great customer service as far as tech support goes, but one thing i wish you guys did better was product training, i haven't really had the best experiences with the third party consultants that do the t raining, they charge way to much for not much valuable info. I got more info off your help site, but it's much easier to be trained by someone that knows what they're doing. Other than that, it's pretty good overall! Review Source SP Stacey P. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Inventory Management Software that Does It All" April 28, 2016 4.0 Pros This software is very thorough. What do I mean by that? It can do almost anything you need it to do when it comes to managing your inventory. What I like best about the Activate Inventory software is it's integration to QuickBooks. Because it integrates so well there doesn't have to be a lot of double data entry. Data flows transparently in both directions. Also, their staff are really wonderful at helping you - they're easy to talk over challenges with, and always ready to help. Cons I can't think of anything that I disliked about the product. Review Source SH Suzanne H. Controller Used the software for: ### "It is easily self taught and reasonably priced for small businesses using quickbooks." March 30, 2016 4.0 Pros - user friendly, easy to get processes created, handles inventory with transparency. Cons - implementation needs more clarity from Alterity, more prep should be discussed. After getting thru the fact that we did not prep correctly, we straightened that out and get back on top of all the details needing to be addressed it is a well oiled working software. The benefits from using ACCTivate now, out weigh any hurdles you may incur. Review Source SL Susan L. Head of Regional Sales Used the software for: ### "Best Customer Service!" April 5, 2016 4.0 While the system itself can be frustrating and is not as user-friendly or dummy-proof as QuickBooks, the customer service is fantastic. Over all, our experience with the tech support rep Eric and the customer rep John has been absolutely phenomenal. They consistently check with us and always answer any questions in a quick, professional, and friendly fashion. I would absolutely recommend based on the customer service alone. Review Source jM joe M. president Used the software for: ### "Acctivate Review" April 5, 2016 4.0 Acctivate is a great program for our manufacturing company. It is very easy to use. It allows us to track product in a very easy way. It synchronizes with QuickBooks very easily also. The only problem we have had in the past eight years is that every time there is a upgrade, the crystal report templates get screwed up. They don't seem to transfer well. One time we lost all our custom templates and had to have them remade. Review Source TM Tonya M. Customer Service Used the software for: ### "I have been involved with the implementation since day one and use it daily. " March 24, 2016 4.0 Pros: We have been able to utilize our inventory and customer information more effectively than in the past. Cons: Some standard features are different than how our previous software worked so getting used to that has taken some time. We were surprised some features were not available. Scott Gregory and the customer service has been exceptional in helping us resolve and understand issues as they arise.
