To add insult to injury, 18 months after Freshbooks canceled and deleted my account, they charged my credit card for another year subscription.

Freshbooks should be facing fraud charges and or a Class Action lawsuit. I expect either very shortly in the future.

Ease of use and integration from pc to mobile. The fact that i could copy repetitive invoices and projects saved me a lot of time as well.

It’s very easy to use,excellent customer service and use also a great mobile app. I am really happy to have this software in my company.

Dishonest Culture - Horendous Customer Service - Terrible product STAY AWAY.

I love that i can send edit and track my business. The app on my phone is great but would like more of the same options as the desktop.

Software is easy to use, has the appropriate features and the support staff is outstanding.

Interface is hard and confusing to use. Not built for those without precision motor skills (forget it if you have any sort of impairment).

It shows you who is yet to give the payments and how much outstanding balance is remaining. The compatibility of FreshBooks is so good that it tells you the total profit and loss.

My experience was FreshBooks has been a phenomenal one. The interface is great and the presentation and look of the program is great as well.

Its easy  to use have a good customer servicehave good mobile apps designed so good and have attractive invoice templates.

I like that the software is great at keeping track of invoices. It's helpful for a freelancer.

It was a great beginners accounting software with an invoicing option that I made good use of. It was pretty intuitive and user friendly.

I like the fact that it makes me very serene about my numbers. This is not something I like doing so I recommend it.

The first thing is that the software is very easy to use, but the most important thing is that its functionality helps me save time and money.

It had been extremely simple to highlight and remove outsider applications since it made my experience superb to utilize this product.

Great for freelancers and small businesses. Free version is easy to use and when you upgrade to the paid version you get great features.

Great experience, easy to use. Customers like quotes and invoices and I like the ability to create them off my mobile device quickly and easily.

The downside of FreshBooks is that there is no possibility of merging contacts while duplicates are repeated when Freshbooks connects to another platform e.g. Hubspot.

It's does a wonderful job helping to keep track of all the outstanding bills of all of the clients that I have.

It is a great experience to manage our things with Freshbooks & it made our tasks more easier. Thanks team for the wonderful software.

So easy to set up and the customer service is awesome, they immediately helped me to fix issues.

What I love most is the standby customer service– it's really been helpful and effective.

Easy to use, it has integrations with PayPal among others. It has integrated time tracker and great support.

I also love how easy it is to maneuver through FreshBooks website. FreshBooks is also very affordable which makes it easy for me to focus on other details in my business.

There are a few features missing in the software compared to the other softwares.

It's been really great to get a quick glance whenever I log in of how many invoices I have outstanding and how much I'm billing clients throughout the year.

There are many integrations and excellent support that helps us with all issues.

The fact that the accounting software is one that helps in the smooth running of a business. It is very easy, secure and user friendly.

An excellent business tool and support. A great investment for smaller organizations.

I was frustrated when I was struggling to keep track of business. I didn't quite understand what I needed to do.

It's very cost effective. Good for small and mid-sized businesses who need a simple accounting alternative.

Ease of use is perfect and integrates easily on a website and setup is easy to setup and manage from one location.

There is so many features that any one at any level can use. The pricing options definitely made this a great purchase item to help my business.

I use it for invoicing, expenses, estimates, and tracking profits. The home UI is super fun to look at and easy to understand.

The personalization of contracts and some accounting errors are the example.

I don't think there is anything we disliked about Limelight, even the pricing is reasonable, so nothing to complain about.

Inability to change column or row members once a template or report is created.

Not being a computer geek, I have learned that all the relations between downloaded data, the input templates and the reports have a complex inter-relations that any little thing can set off wrong.

The functionality is very strong, and like the excel based platform that makes it very easy to navigate through.

Limelight has been a tremendous partner that we are extremely grateful for. They listen, execute and advise on best practices to fulfill our reporting needs and goals.

The budgeting and forecasting has never been so easy. The support from the implementation team and the project managers has always been excellent.

If every sales team and integration team were like Limelight, the business world would be a better place.

Experience working with Limelight team and customer service is great. Quick to respond to issues or other questions.

All transactions have to be loaded which is a drag on API call time and size. In order to see the transactional line items you have to be at the lowest level of dimension.

We've been using Limelight for quite a while now as our main CDN system. The experience has been great so far.

Our employees love that it still looks like Excel, so the transition was smooth.

The workforce planning tool has been the biggest improvement to our processes, providing insights and projection accuracy that we didn't have previously.

The support I am getting from the limelight team is the best I have ever experienced with a software company. I reach out to them, and they are immediately trying to help me out.

I have had the tool now for 3 months and have successfully written over 30 reports that will serve 100+ users easily.

It's opened up a number of possibilities in regards to budgeting better and forecasting on the fly. Limelight has allowed us to hold better control of our expenditures.

Customer service is really good. The CDN functionality is awesome and helped speed up our website considerably.

The ability to use limelight for both data collection applications as well as distribution is great.

I love the ease of use and the availability of reports it's capable of producing. It's helped with our closes and FP&A reporting tremendously.

The best part of Limelight is the ease of use. It's very user friendly and easy to pick up.

The end user does not have much control/ability to customize reports (i.e. they cannot sort based on any column; that is hard coded in the back of the report).

There isn't much that I don't like about the software.

The people and service was truly the key as they tailored it to our liking. They are truly a partner that listened and executed well to fulfill our vision.

Since the time we implemented Limelight, it has been so easy to close the month and easily figure out any miscoding, it's been an amazing experience so far.
