Great Product
Overall I like using Denali Fund. It allows my company to smoothly carry out our accounting processes - everything from accounts payables to generating annual W-2s.
PROSWe use payroll, general ledger, and accounts payables modules. They are paramount in keeping our accounting department organized. The software is relatively easy to use and allows us to keep track of our daily accounting processes.
CONSSometimes it's hard to correct an issue such as future dates in the Accounts Payable module.
Reason for choosing Denali Fund
Denali Fund allowed for more functionality for my company.

Fund accounting and Cougar Mtn. customer service
The thing that frustrates me the most about your program with the issues it does have is not the program. It is the customer service as it pertains to how you justify your billing me. Recently I had an issue with the payroll module and sent information in to be reviewed. This turned into a 2-hour phone call that cost me. The instructions in your help and field names is misleading. So misleading that the rep and I couldn't figure out what was going on during that 2-hour phone call. I finally figured it out and sent a follow-up email to you guys. What I got was a wasted two hours and a bill on my training hours. Not happy at all as well when it cost me to point out errors when your system has errors in it, like the new drill down report in the Audit Trail, and I get billed for it. Do not only do I get billed for something that wasn't even clear to Kevin. I get billed for pointing out calculation problems with your program. Why should I get billed for bringing things up that are incorrect in the way your program works or process errors that your staff can't point out? I am not happy with the end result of your customer service! Those who help me are great in the eagerness to help, but those who make the real customer service calls on the billing I am very disappointed in their decisions. So much so... I would warn any prospective client of yours to beware. You do not seem to be able to take ownership of your issues. You pass them on to your customers.
PROSI like how it allocates. But I hate it that once in the system, the system treats every transaction in the allocation as a separate transaction instead of an allocation.
CONSThe accounting program has to be accurate and data usable. I have found problems in your program and was told it that it was not meant to be used as an auditing tool. My response is it should be accurate! It is an accounting program. On the data useful side, it is not as useful as your sales staff made it out to be for FUND accounting. To get our billing out last month I had to sort through 40 pages of transactions and do hand calculations to meet the requirements of our fund managers. I get to do that again this month. Makes me wonder how this is supposed to be a program that is for FUND accounting. Yes, your company is aware of my frustration here and the kind of reporting is needed.

Denali Fund
Overall the software works well for us. I rarely have issues but when I do tech support is great and relatively quick to respond.
PROSThe software is relatively easy to use. It can easily accommodate very large charts of accounts. The PR module supports all the state and federal reports with the option to file your own reports and has the availability to use the system's vendors to file the reports for you. I use both for various reports and it's a great value.
CONSThere is no way to correct descriptions of transactions in any module if you make an error. In the AP module, when voiding checks, the system shows the voided transaction as still being payable to that vendor. There really isn't any support for questions that arise when creating your own customized reports.
Reasons for switching to Denali Fund
We switched to be able to accommodate current options like direct deposit, laser printing, etc.

The Wonders of Denali
Overall my experience with Denali Fund has been exceptional! Like I stated before, it is probably the most user friendly system that I have experienced.
PROSThis is a very easy to use system. The product is very reasonably priced. The integration from this system to outside electronic time keeping systems is very easy and effective and can be done without a lot of time used. The customer service is top notch and very helpful. They respond quickly and are very eager to explain their process and help with any problem that you may have. Again, this is one of the easiest to learn and use systems that I have had the experience to use.
CONSThe budget part of the general ledger module could be easier to enter data and set up.

PROSBank Reconciliation and General Ledger reports and functions, easy Revenue over Expense and Audit Trail reports
CONSCumbersome AP process for multiple invoices to one vendor, billing to the student body, no credit card processing.

Town of Cheyenne Wells Denali Fund Use
Having used Cougar since 1996 which changed to Denali Fund. I have appreciated tranistion style the fund has when it came to change the software image and features was easily grasped by myself. This software is user friendly and I have enjoyed working with the support system. [sensitive content hidden] has been amazing help on this.
PROSI love the AP, PR, BR, and GL features they can be tailored in the detail one needs for their operation.
CONSThe batch numbering system. I would like to taylor that to the Town's number way.

Denali Fund Accounting
Gets the job done.
PROSThis is the only accounting software I have ever used outside of QuickBooks.
CONSIt is not the most user friendly. It is a more robust type of accounting software. To correct a GL it takes another complete entry and all of those transactions show up in the audit trail reports, which can be cumbersome.
Reason for choosing Denali Fund
We were using Cougar Mountain Fund Accounting and that aged out.

Denali Fund General Ledger
Very Pleased - I could not do my work without it!
PROSDenali is very easy to use, and it produces great results. The software works in a way that my auditors like. I can't post a transaction unless it balances.
CONSA little difficult to export data, but the technical people at Denali helped me work through the process. The help guides are not detailed enough to make up for inability to understand.
Reasons for switching to Denali Fund
My auditor said my old software was not strong enough to handle the volume and complexity of the work that I was doing.

Good software Great customer service
I like the software and the customer service has always been very helpful.
CONSI don't like that when you search something you can't just search by name, when you write a check you can't just type a name you have to actually look them up. If you put something in the GL it doesn't flow to other modules but everything flows to GL. The product could be a little more user friendly.
Reasons for switching to Denali Fund
The other software could not do the things Cougar can.

Denali Fund Accounting is accurate
Denali Fund Accounting is very accurate. I rarely have a software issue. I have been using this product over 20 years. I have used other Fund accounting programs and have come back to Denali. It is straight forward and easy to use. It does not have tons of bells and whistles, but it is reliable and accurate. The program works. I use GL, AP, BR and Payroll modules. They integrate well together. You can have custom reports built for your specific use. I like their CD service for upgrades.
PROSIt is accurate. Easy to use. I trust the software . My reports are accurate.
CONSSometimes you cannot print in a module by using "Ctrl P

Denali Fund Input!
I like that it is web based and the ability to work from home at times.
CONSWished that you could have parameters for running Client statements so that they don't have to see all the past invoices and payments that they made throughout the year. The only way to get around it is to purge and sometimes that is time consuming because if a client has an outstand balance we don't want to loose the information so we purge 1 client at a time instead of bulk.

Support is Wonderful
Reporting is always a big problem. With Denali FUND we are able to export into files that import easily into Excel and then we can produce reports that make sense for our municipality.
PROSThe support has been fantastic. From implementation to ongoing use, all we have to do is call for help. We almost always get an answer within an hour.
CONSPayroll setup felt cumbersome but in the long run, the setup was worth it. We now get reports with each payroll that split taxes between departments.

Pro vs. Denali
We have been customers for about 15 years. The transition to Denali was very unacceptable. The Denali software was more of a beta version that was rolled out. The software had way too many glitches that needed to be "worked around" as opposed to resolved. Even though we are "comfortable" with using Denali, there are still new errors that take a while for the patches to be released on. Customer service has always been accommodating and the staff is great.
CONSNot web-based. Only one person to do customized reports. Patches take too long to roll out.

The staff are very helpful.
I like that it intrgrates with the other modules or that you can use each module individually. I am interested in how the payment process will work with our desk top in the sales module.
CONSIt is a bit more costly then our other software was I do not like that I cannot take a debit payment and have it integrate directly with Denali. We use Moneris and I do not know what we could use that would do that.
