"Solid product for small business"
Comments: Has been around for a long time. Tried and tested and is a great product. Starting to price a little higher but still competitive - especially if you have employees.
Pros: Easy to use and well laid out for the end user. Is great for small operations without complex needs.
Cons: Whilst bank rules are very handy - the auto reconciling of transactions can cause problems if rule set up incorrectly. Would be great if there was an option to make bulk transaction changes.

"Manual System Converted into Digital"
Comments: MYOB has changed the way we work, simplifies book keeping to take away so much pain
Pros:
- Easy to signup and simple setup to get things started
- Pricing - Special offer for new start ups
- Invoice reminders
- Invoice templates look very professional
- Invoice shows when customer / vendor have viewed (SUPER HELPFUL)
- Intray for emailing receipts and tracking
Cons: - Not being able to invoice in multiple currencies, have to workarond this by invoicing in the charable foreign currency then after payment is recieved adjusting the template to the local amount that is received.

"MYOB in the Clouds"
Comments: Windows based product with very easy to use menus. It has all the bells and whistles of modern accounting software. I particularly liked the Payroll and Budgeting. Its a product that I believe needs to be tested by accountants. I think some aspects would be tricky for bookkeepers whereas other aspects accountants pull their hair out and the lack of reporting options and some silly rules that make it harder to use. I don't get the impression that they listen to your feedback. Sadly the organisation has some arrogance. I noted this particularly when being trained in the product. The organisation would benefit greatly from listening to feedback and improving its report options. For example. No comparative Balance Sheet. No reports which can be produced relating to staff hours. The journal report is woeful, sadly you have to use journal more than you would want. No Fixed Asset Register. On the other hand I love the budget reports, very easy to manipulate. The graphs which come with the budget are useless. The ease to enter pay roll data is awesome. I love the bank feeds and many more aspects of this package. I think if they combine the best aspects of Account right and Essentials to target medium sized entities, MYOB would be hard to beat.
Pros: Payroll and Budgeting and very easy to use. Nice features with Invoice design also.
Cons: The Journals report is awful, no Fixed Asset register. No reports on Payroll hours worked.

"Great software, but too pricey for my needs"
Comments: Good software with lots of useful functionality, but too pricey for my needs and too cumbersome compared to other options
Pros: MYOB will polished with lots of mine integrations and options.
Cons: There are a number of different portals with different purposes and I would get lost sometimes navigating the various sites.

"One of the top software for bookkeeping"
Pros: I enjoy using MYOB simply because it does everything you need for a small business - sometimes needs more explanation with accounting though for new people.
Cons: glitches with POS machines is really the only thing I ever came across with this program, so not alot from a small business perspective.
