SUPERIOR PRODUCT! GET SMART-GET SYFT NOW! You will NOT be disappointed!
SUPERIOR PRODUCT - intuitive, compelling visualizations and ability to customize.SUPERIOR SUPPORT - Friendly, Enthusiastic & Knowledgeable - Ensures Resolution/Education! CLEAR that the support team/others in SYFT have a culture with a clear mission statement that resonates to me - (not knowing what their mission statement is - but this is the energy/message I get from my interaction with support/product development team): PROVIDE COST EFFECTIVE VALUABLE PRODUCT TO ALLOW FOR COMPELLING DATA COMPILATION AND VISUALIZTION TO ENSURE STRATEGIC BUSINESS DECISIONS CAN BE MADE PROACTIVELY ALLOWING FOR STRONGER, SUSTAINABLE BUSINESSES, ENSURING ECONOMIC SUCCESS FOR ALL.

CONSHonestly - there is nothing I can say that I don't like about this product. I would have to dig deep to find something. I can only say I WISH I was better at using - but that is On ME as the opportunity to learn is there, ALWAYS someone available to respond to your inquiry and there is Syft Campus - which has been helpful too.Perhaps there could be some "online boot camp" week long session(s)/education (to make me dedicate the uninhibited time to focus my learning to become an expert user). In a time where online learning/self-service is prevalent, having a cohort with dedicated time together in learning sessions uninterrupted might be a great catalyst to onboarding and becoming an expert user (my ultimate goal).
Reason for choosing Syft Analytics
COST EFFECTIVE AND SUPERIOR VALUE! Love the unlimited users to add/share with. A true limitation for OTHER products that may pretend to be as good as SYFT, and nickel and dime you in every way! I have searched for a FABULOUS, USER-FRIENDLY DASHBOARD/data compilation product for 3 years before I FINALLY FOUND SYFT!

Amazing Reporting Software for SMEs in SA
I love this product as it is so easy to use and allows for optimal management reporting to clients if the cloud accounting systems are correctly set up and bookkeeping is done very accurately. It reminds one to focus on the client and to report and advise on everyday business aspects that most business owners do not spend enough attention on.
PROSAwesome SME reporting functionality for management purposes Valuations are a great feature and assumptions are adjustable for specific circumstances Key indicators are a great plus especially the Benchmarking feature Excel imports, as well as direct integrations, makes this a beautiful product for both Cloud Accounting and old school desktop applications such as Pastel.
CONSForecasting is not really a reliable feature as it does not allow for detailed inputs from the Balance Sheet Forecasting does not show the assumptions used so you still have to use Excel to finalise the forecasts. Feels elementary on Budget and forecasts The excel imports are great, however, direct integration through either SQL or Pervasive will be an absolute lifesaver. Industries can be more specific on the Benchmarking function.
Reason for choosing Syft Analytics
South African compatibility with SageOne Accounting SA made it easy for me to decide as the other programs did not integrate with SageOne Accounting SA. The price was available in ZAR and it also reports in ZAR currency which the others do not necessarily do. It is fairly affordable in relation to the other packages as it does not charge per user but the price is fixed per month. Really love this concept as it makes it affordable for the smaller accounting practices with SME clients where the software charges cannot necessarily be transferred to the client.

Product Review
Decent product that does improve the way we report to our clients. The difficulty to customize specific reports, does bring down the total value of the product, but still a good product to use.
PROSVisually it looks good and does improve reporting option/Time spend on building reports does take less time. Good support. The product is continuously developing with new features that are usable.
CONSNot really able to use their VAT/Audit function as it does not pull the info correctly through from sage one. Also, not really very customizable when it comes to building specific reports for clients. We cannot really provide the specific reports that our clients want.

Professional Reporting at the click of a mouse
Syft is a great, easy to use product with presentation quality reporting at the click of a mouse. I have used several ERP systems and the reporting can be tedious and difficult to create; often with a very plain look and no drill down capability.The product support is second to none. I love using this product for both monthly presentations but also variance analysis and internal reviews with my division managers; if there are questions about the reports an additional click allows the viewer to drill down and see the details.
PROSSyft is a dream come true for easy quick presentation quality reports that can be used by managers, shareholders or board presentations. Design your reports and then have them run automatically once you close your financial period.
CONSI have not found an area of Syft that is not ideal for our business - it covers everything we need.
Reason for choosing Syft Analytics
Syft had all the functions plus looked more intuitive and easier to create and maintain
Reasons for switching to Syft Analytics
Sage was very expensive, difficult to run for our staff and reports were tedious to create - it didn't have any graphical appeal or color to aid in reading the reports for non financial people. We are 100% glad we switched form Sage300 to Syft

Great reporting software solution.
It was great software but we have moved to another solution, which was more price competitive.
PROSInsightful reports help spot problem areas easily and also inconsistencies in the data.
CONSIt is quite expensive and there isn't an offer suitable for a sole practitioner with limited resources.

Syft Analytics - What every accountant needs
The most part that I like about Syft Analytics is that it's easy to use and time saving as well. Integrating it with Xero is the most effortless exercise. Which gives you time to review and analyse data. My clients are very happy with the management reports that I send to them each month as they are professional and easy to read. I do recommend it for any type and size of an entity.
CONSSo far I haven't heard a significant problem. So far so good.

Syft analytics review
My experience was excellent. I was able to make use of the tools and extract information from the financial statements as I needed. It was easy for me to do so and to project data and to interpret the financial performance of the company I was auditing as it offers options and tools that easily perform such tasks for the user.
PROSIt was user friendly and understandable to operate even with no previous auditing software background.
CONSI don’t have much to dislike about it. I enjoyed my experience overall.

It's feasible and easy to comprehend. It has appropriate application controls put in hand and it was simple to identify how controls work especially with how unauthorised changes in a Masterfile are prevented.

Syft Analytics review
It’s firstly aesthetically pleasing. It’s is minimal, readable and not filled with overwhelming amount of data and information. It is straight forward and can be used on most devices anywhere. It is understandable as people with little knowledge on accounting softwares can still make use of it and find it helpful in performing tasks they otherwise could not perform on their own.
CONSIt may not be easily accessible to other individuals due to its pricing.

Beautiful Reports for Every Business & Great Tool for Combining Multi-Companies
I specifically tried Syft because I was looking for a way to combine reports across multiple companies that were using separate QuickBooks Online accounts in order to provide an overview of profits to stakeholders. Syft worked wonderfully for this purpose and has been invaluable to providing this insight. Now I can provide reports much quicker because I'm not having to manually combine the data in excel sheets. I also found that it makes all reports look beautiful and professional and I love the additional insights, like the forecasting and KPI's. Once it's setup it's pretty easy to use.
PROSHonestly, I love the visual appeal the most, the reports are pleasant to look at and I also love the amount of customization that you can do with the reports. Other than that, I have been impressed with the KPI's and forecasting. It makes presenting financial reports engaging and fun.
CONSOne thing that I don't like, is it seems to have a long lag time between the integration with QuickBooks. While I'm customizing reports in Syft I sometimes find things that need to be recategorized within QuickBooks, so I'll login to QuickBooks and quickly make that change. Sometimes it will be hours or even the next day before the new data shows up in Syft. This can delay getting reports finished and it can be frustrating at times. I also felt like setup was tedious, but the trade-off is the customization and that takes a lot of mapping to get it right.

Very satisfied
We used to do our management reports using excel and were skeptical about moving to a product we had to pay for. After using it for a few years now we can't imagine not using it. The single cost for unlimited companies is an excellent value for us as an accounting firm as we use it for all of our clients. The reports look very professional and the arrow indicator of increase or decrease on most reports is especially appreciated.
CONSWe used to have many graphs of the financial health of our client's businesses. Syft could still use more as the only one we currently use is the cash flow bar graph. The graphs on the side of the other reports are simply too small to see or use effectively. The refresh data feature is very slow and often gets stuck, requiring a page refresh but this just slows things down a bit, it doesn't make it unusable.
Reasons for switching to Syft Analytics
One click reporting is far superior to the constantly broken Excel formulas. It is also able to adapt to different types of business and number of accounts which is not easy to do in an Excel template.

Amazing product!
Our clients love the reports and they now value our service even more.
PROSThe product is very easy to use, integrates perfectly with our accounting software and has very valuable features. I especially find the Financial Health, Valuation and Benchmark to be beneficial reports. The quick reports also add so much value to our business and our clients' businesses. We can now provide relevant information to our clients in such an efficient manner and concentrate on the more important things; provide guidance on how to enhance their businesses.
CONSIt would be great if there could be a report that details the cash in- and out per month, per account. This is a report requested by financial institutions and would be great if it could be automated.
