How Alternatives Are Selected

1. Xero

4.1

Although the product is difficult to use due to the large amount of areas in a set of accounts to be explored, Xero offers certification classes for free that can help assist one in getting to know the software and make it far easier to operate with. It has become the easiest to use finance package of all the kinds I have tried.Read all insights and reviews for Xero

4. CCH Axcess

By Wolters Kluwer

3.9

It's been a love/hate with this product. While CCH Axcess works very well, their support is lacking. They may take days to reply to your ticket. Plus, our firm uses a Proxy, our CCH Representive and CCH Tech support said we should not use a proxy to use this software because we are "Self inflicting" harm on when the software is updated. In essence, they blamed US for using a proxy, and we have to configure and edit two config XML files for every single tech update, which is done many times a year. So we have to go to each user, stop their process, copy up the files, and restart. If you have users that work on the weekends, they should not when updates are released. They have an AI support chat to start with first and its not the best. The price of the software increases every year. To password protect your returns when transferring, the have an 8 character limit. This can be EASILY cracked, so I don't think this software is very secure in that sense. Keep track of your CCH representative and your salesperson. We needed the taxes adjusted on our invoice and they never responded and we got threatened for services to be turned off. Their payment system is like a late night sales commercial: If you renew early, you save 10%!!! Same thing every year. It's not a real deal. Just a gimmick to get you to pay soon IMO.Read all insights and reviews for CCH Axcess

5. Payroll Relief

By IRIS (AccountantsWorld)

3.7

Payroll Relief is easy to use and provides convenient payroll processing services. This has limited our reporting which is a big disadvantage for our firm as a business entity. We are unable to meet the level of financial analysis that our clients need as we cannot make custom reports.Read all insights and reviews for Payroll Relief

After searching for a while to find a practice management suite (and using some that did not meet our standards), we found Canopy. Canopy, right off the bat, gave us the items we were most looking for: Project/task tracking, pre-assignments, and time tracking. Since we started with the product, Canopy's features have exploded. They also always listen to suggestions & recommendations to make the product better. Read all insights and reviews for Canopy Practice Management Suite
