Cannot fault it

Honestly the easiest software I have set up in years. The help guides are clear and you almost never need them.

Setup was quick and I did not need anyone to hold my hand through it.

Cons

Nothing really. Even the small niggles get fixed when I mention them.

Happy customer

Been on it a year and it has been smooth. Support is good and the price is fair, a couple of features I would still like to see.

Decent but limited

It is okay. Simple and affordable but do not expect it to do much beyond the basics.

Perfect for small business

We are only 12 people so I did not want anything heavy. This is exactly right, does the job without the bloat.

Very happy with it overall. Easy to use and cheap for a small business, I just wish the reporting was a bit richer.
