Top Rated AccountEdge Pro Alternatives
The thing I like best about Account Edge is a bit idiosyncratic: I've been using it since the 1990's when it was branded as MYOB and was about the only serious accounting program for Macs. (Remember those days?). Over the years it has grown into a far more sophisticated program than I really need, covering payroll, inventory, invoicing, mobile transactions and merchant services.

The thing that I dislike the most about Account Edge is that fact that they do not yet offer an online version that can sync automatically with banks and vendors. That is definitely the next level for this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to learn; it has everything you need to run a small - large company. You can have multiple users use the company file at once. The support team has always been great too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes when we email from the program, it doesn't go through and gives us an error. We shut down the program and restarted it. The emails seem to work after that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Custom rules and easy backups. Decent tax compliance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you are using a modern Mac, Account Edge runs in a Windows emulator window that looks like Windows 95. Performance isn't great and reports take a long time to generate. Window management can be tough as well, I'm pretty sure having reports on multiple screens is impossible since it runs in a container. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It USED to be for Mac - and their support USED to be good. NOT ANY MORE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
HORRIBLE customer service.
I have been a customer since 2009. I had the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL IN MY LIFE TODAY.
I'm absolutely dumbfounded at how our call went. I called to discuss my options to upgrade. I'm a Mac user and wanted to know my options. She told me about the subscription service, which I already knew. I'm willing to try it, even though it looks like a very dated version of Windows on my Mac. Someone last year sent me a link to try it. I didn't have time to fuss with it because at the time I ended up having Covid and was sick, so it expired.
I asked her to reinstate the trial. She can't do that.
I asked her to speak with a manager. She can't do that.
I literally cannot use your product now unless I purchase it immediately and start the subscription.
After 13 years of being an AccountEdge (formerly MYOB), you're going to lose me, and when I told her this, she acted like she couldn't care less.
HORRIBLE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be considered as one of the best versions for mac. Many desktop versions are available for windows but not so many for Mac. So, It helps one to record transactions related to business on MAc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not available for windows. Sofware works only for Mac, and also, it has no version available for Windows, so one needs to stick to mac to keep using it. Also, it is an offline version, so it restricts its usage to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to use ample number of features with great set of reports. Best of all when buying updates their website is not as cumbersome and misleading about renewals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish you could send invoices and statements directly to google apps email accounts without using MS Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
AccountEdge Pro was easy to use and pretty simple to learn. I inherited the product from my account at MYOB and they really improved the product during that transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My biggest dislike of AccountEdge Pro was their lack of support for updating the Mac OS version every time there was a OS update. They didn't seem to have a viable competitor for a cloud-based solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
AccountEdge is a very simple platform to perform all accounting duties...generate invoices, reconcile accounts and track spending. It's easy to find the reports that I need in a timely manner as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The one bad thing about AccountEdge is having to locate the company file every time I log on - we have our file stored on our server, so AccountEdge makes us locate it every time. Also, we are an all Mac office, so the recent updates with AccountEdge 2020 and the subsequent updates of Mac OSX has been problematic and preventing us from updating our computers.

Its is available in 2 operating system both mac and windows Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Useful for only small and medium enterprise. Also they should have all the erp modules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been using this software for about 20 years. It was originally called MYOB (Mind Your Own Business). It has grown and improved over the years. Fairly easy to use, although I have been stuck trying to figure out how to do things once in a while (i'm not an accountant). Good tech support if it's needed. They keep up to date on the Fed, State and Local Tax tables well. Bugs are patched quickly and they roll out updates in a timely manner. Constantly adding new features with each major release. We have a 3 seat license, and the main data file is located on a central server, This allows Purchasing, Payroll and Engineering to work at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Requires a very reasonable (under $500 for 3 seats) annual subscription to maintain updates and tax tables for payroll. That's how they make their money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
