LinkedIn verifiedGreat fit because we already run Microsoft 365. Onboarding took longer than expected.
Useful, regular updates.
Partner dependent.
Finance Manager, Pennine Consulting
Once it was configured it connected finance, sales and operations in a way our old tools never did.
Scales from finance to full operations.
Nothing that outweighs the benefits for us.
Group Financial Controller, Carrick Digital
A proper cloud ERP that keeps improving. You do need a good partner to land it.
Useful, regular updates.
None so far.
IT Manager, Meridian Services

Regular updates from Microsoft.
Per user licensing adds up for a mid sized firm.

Tight Microsoft 365 integration.
Learning curve for staff.

Operations Director, Pennine Studio
Connects finance and operations well and the reporting is good. There is a learning curve to get there.
Good UK localisation.
Partner dependent.
IT Director, Redgate Digital
LinkedIn verifiedThe UK VAT and MTD localisation is solid and the cloud updates arrive without us managing servers.
Scales from finance to full operations.
Nothing worth noting.

Per user cost mounts up.
Finance Manager, Linden Partners
We underestimated the implementation effort and the ongoing licensing, and it never fully bedded in for us.
It integrates well with Microsoft 365.
Implementation was heavy and costly.
