We use maybe half of it well, and that half is excellent. The workflow builder is powerful once you learn its logic, and its logic takes learning.
Pros
Custom report builder with scheduled refresh; twelve custom fields
Cons
Exchange rate movements show in pricing

Twelve custom fields finally cover our job numbers, rep codes and contract references at once. Excel sync goes both ways, edit in the sheet and the books update, which still feels like magic.
Pros
Two way Excel data sync

For this price the rough edges are inexcusable. Batch invoicing failed on our VAT setup and the fix took three weeks of tickets. Two features from the sales demo turned out to be unavailable in our region.
Cons
Top tier support still bounced our tickets. Demo features unavailable in our region

Good software with an identity somewhere between accounting package and junior ERP. The rand price moves when the exchange rate does, which makes budgeting interesting.
Pros
Unlimited chart of accounts, classes and locations; custom report builder with scheduled refresh
Cons
Revenue recognition fiddly past simple cases

We restored from backup after a bulk import went sideways in January, twenty minutes and no tears. Custom roles took an afternoon to design and have prevented every permissions argument since. If you are weighing this against an ERP quote, do the maths and smile.
Pros
Twenty five user seats
Cons
Dashboards lag the report builder

The custom report builder produces our exco pack in the format the board actually asked for. Custom roles took an afternoon to design and have prevented every permissions argument since. Everything from Plus carries over, so stock and projects kept working through the upgrade. The top tier is the first tier that feels built for companies our size.
Pros
Fraction of the cost of a real ERP; backup and restore included
Cons
AI features still maturing

Good software with an identity somewhere between accounting package and junior ERP. The workflow builder is powerful once you learn its logic, and its logic takes learning. The seat count is generous but we use eleven of the twenty five and pay for all of them.
Pros
Unlimited chart of accounts, classes and locations

The strengths are real and so is the invoice every month. Reports are superb, dashboards less so.
Pros
Priority support with actual knowledge

Advanced solves problems we turned out not to have. Nobody at support could explain the revenue recognition behaviour we were seeing.
Pros
Revenue recognition for contract businesses
Cons
Top tier support still bounced our tickets

Workflow automation now routes every invoice over the threshold to a director before it goes out. Our upgrade regret is only that we waited a year too long.
Pros
Backup and restore included; unlimited chart of accounts, classes and locations
Cons
Exchange rate movements show in pricing

A genuinely capable tier that makes you pay for every bit of that capability. The rand price moves when the exchange rate does, which makes budgeting interesting. Custom roles took an afternoon to design and have prevented every permissions argument since.
Pros
Twenty five user seats
Cons
Some features reach South Africa late

We use maybe half of it well, and that half is excellent. Reports are superb, dashboards less so. Excel sync goes both ways, edit in the sheet and the books update, which still feels like magic.
Pros
Two way Excel data sync; role based access with custom roles
Cons
Workflow builder has a learning curve

Powerful, and priced like it knows it. A few of the AI features are still labelled beta and behave like it.
Pros
Handles higher transaction volumes smoothly
Cons
Exchange rate movements show in pricing

Advanced solves problems we turned out not to have. The price difference against Plus bought us features we opened twice.
Cons
Top tier support still bounced our tickets

It solved our reporting problem and introduced a budgeting one. Support at this tier is better, but complex questions still bounce between agents. Reports we used to build manually every month now refresh themselves on schedule.
Pros
Two way Excel data sync
Cons
Dashboards lag the report builder

Unlimited classes and locations meant our reporting structure stopped being a compromise. The Finance AI summaries give our MD a weekly picture without anyone building it. The right ceiling for a growing SA business that is not ready for SAP money.
Pros
Backup and restore included
Cons
Paying for seats you may not fill
Sifiso Sithole
Director
12 July 2025
Batch invoicing pushed out four hundred invoices in the time the old way did forty. The backup and restore alone justifies the tier if your data matters to you.
Pros
Role based access with custom roles
Cons
Workflow builder has a learning curve

A year in, we audited what we actually used and downgraded. Two features from the sales demo turned out to be unavailable in our region.
Cons
Downgraded and lost nothing we missed
Nomsa Zwane
IT Manager

After outgrowing Plus we braced for an ERP project, and this turned out to be enough. The workflow builder is genuinely usable by a finance person, no consultant needed.
Pros
Handles higher transaction volumes smoothly
