MYOB Business Reviews

I have used MYOB for years, it's perfect for getting the job done, and easy to use.

Sometimes the ability to change or delete transactions is a little bit dangerous.

The depth of the accounting softwarealot more features than most

The annual subscription fee is a tad bit high

MYOB allows for client management and invoicing from one system.

Using this system to manage an IT business is not the most innovative system and it has integration challenges from our PSA.

Due to the complexities of our business MYOB XO was the standout choice.

No real downsides to the system. As we were using Viberent as a custom software piece there were some glitches with the API integration but this is to be expected.

Application layout makes it easy to navigate

The upgrade feature needs to run in the background.

Commonly used across small business which makes it easier to find bookkeepers who have experience in it

Needs to have a major overview from a features, functionality and user experience perspective.
Nearly no new features in 15 years.
An upgrade in technology, but delivering using out-dated tech stacks and restrictive implementation.
Not a wonder people are moving in droves to other products.

I received my payslips from the office and they were done on MYOB. They were easy to read and showed everything necessary

There was no app for my to use at the time to record timesheet activities. I had to make a google spreadsheet and email it. If I had an app then my pays would be uploaded and so less mistakes would have occurred.

It feels very well though out, very responsive.

I would like there to be a cheaper version for those with infrequent use

I have used myob for simple invoicing and it’s flawless. You can tell that it has more capabilities.

There’s nothing negative about myob and the price is affordable

Provides an additional option for small businesses and sole traders with limited budget resources to consider.

I find MYOB AO functions very rigid and not user friendly. For example, import function from other accounting softwares are not available.Unable to generate reports.Unable to download reports to excel.

The wide range of features and varied reports that can be produced to assist with trackingn expenditure , budgeting and forecasting.
Regular updates keep us compliant with tax law.

I do not operate the software. Unable to answer.

Easy to use once you know how. I like that I can log on from anywhere top access the accounting software.

MYOB ceased to support Account Edge on Mac so on recommendation by the sales team I transferred to MYOB Essentials. It is easy to use however because it's web based it hangs intermittently. MYOB added a feature to Item ID on invoicing, adding an information symbol without widening the column. This causes the Item ID to be partially obliterated. This makes it difficult when checking item numbers or picking the order. I have spoken to support who have failed to address the issue or even discuss it. The other issue is support. I have literally waited on for one and half hours before getting to the person I need to speak to.

Nothing about the new upgraded platform, all information has to transferred over.
Too many gimmicks of cartoon characters , boxes with useless information and graphs taking up half of the dashboard. Support of myob is very inexperienced and wasted 3 hrs on the phone to resolve payroll issues.
Did not ask or want the upgrade now paying more for a useless product.

Navigation is too complex, nothing is clear and simple.
Super is not calculated correctly, some of the information has not migrated over with the new platform had to re input details. A lot of wasted time.

its ease of use, Its simple. Everything is a click a way all bookkeepers and accountnats will have access in the back ground to pullt he data they need to complete tax things

I would ideally like to see a scheduling app or component added which id desktop and phone friendly

I used MYOB a few years ago. At that time MYOB seems the only one which is capable of doing accounting tasks in Australia

I used MYOB a few years ago. At that time MYOB online version seems poorly designed, not suitable for multitasking

Bank feeds, scan bills, look up and search functions. Also the general ledger allows headings and subheadings (Xero does not)

Could connect to more third-party software.

Ease of use. Pricing
Easy interface
Online storage

Limited reporting and search functions
Limited customs report

MYOB will polished with lots of mine integrations and options.

There are a number of different portals with different purposes and I would get lost sometimes navigating the various sites.

The easy to use features help me keep track of my accounts when I have so much going on

There’s not much I don’t like, I’m pro MYOB Business

Its functioning is good. You can easily get your Accounting data customized by preparing P&L account & Balance sheet

1. You have to take backup by your self no self backup facility.
2. Difficult to understand the reporting process.

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.

glitches with POS machines is really the only thing I ever came across with this program, so not alot from a small business perspective.

It was a cost-effective solution for the number of features available and the quality of product.

For us the only con was at the time it did not have reoccurring invoicing.
