I have used at least 4 accounting programs - 1st couple were hum - well just didn't work in Ag environment, for me at least. I looked at accounting programs that were sort of the all around programs - good programs but not truly dedicated to Ag (2 that I remember Quicken and Quick books - which don't get me wrong are good programs)

One can have as little detail or get so much detail that it could take a full time person to keep it up to-date. Search is beyond assume - being able to set up some special accounts is nice - lots of ways to make it personal for your business, which is a great feature

Knowing or learning which details one should use. If one really is a trained accountant there should be no real concern using this program, but even then going to a class will get anyone up to speed on how to make the best use of the program.

This product is very user-friendly and the customer service is second to none.

Amazing product, customer support is second to none, very user-friendly product

I really have no complaints about this product. It is very user friendly and the customer service is second to none!!

too many ways to do the same thing and no way to figure things out because no book comes with it. I liked the old red wing system much better. they tried to make one program fits all no matter what program you used before. if you don't use this a lot so you remember all the hidden things in the program and how to access them This program is not for you. it is not for me either but have to much money into it to go back now. yearly service is ridiculously expensive which we should not need to use so often but when we only do bookwork once a month. sincerely bill wilkie

can't think of any, program is to complicated for the small user. no manual to look things up in to help with set up. you can look thru the help online for ever and not see enough at time to make it make sense. set up was a mess. and can't correct it.

when entering payments some areas of the entry allow you to use the enter key and some areas require the tab key. bad programming. also if you make a mistake in entering in a field the program moves on to the next field rather than going back to the field to correct it. very annoying. don.t like all the mouse ,tab and enter changes and knowing were to use each.

We tested several ag management software options as part of our agricultural education and extension program. This was ultimately not one that we recommended to our clients because of the complexity of the program and the learning curve.

excellent financial software that offers a huge range of options and services, all designed specifically for agriculture business environments. Customer service is solid.

Not intuitive or easy to get started. The learning curve is steep, and many ag professionals are not strong in technology terms. Training or some type of start-up guide is probably necessary for most.

Great software that goes as deep as you would ever want. Service is great and always polite and takes time for all my issues when I have them (Not often at all)! Great help feature to learn how to do complex entries. Can do basic payroll and also my 1099, 943, w2's with Aatrix. Been with Redwing since Mid 80's. Banker is always impressed with my Financial Statement (Wishes all there customers had such complete data) Cons? Cant think of any.

Even though this is excellent software, I will not recommend it to others because Redwing does not provide after 5 o'clock support or weekend support. This is a major drawback of their product.

This is excellent software. In my off the farm job I had the opportunity to be involved with many types of financial software, and this is one of the best.

Redwing Software needs to provide customer support after hours and on the weekends. This is the major drawback of this software. If they would start with support just during tax season, it would help immensely.

would not recommend for most farmers doing their own books.

Once set up, you should have all information you wish to use for any payment or analysis. I have a Master in Business Administration and there are reports for every aspect of the operation.

Need to be an accountant to understand how to set up a transaction and accounts. Few farmers or their wives meet that criteria. Perception was pre-programmed to set up the transactions. So many options but too difficult to set them up. Need one-on-one help.

The product is very easy to personalize and fit to your own business. The best part is the live service when one needs help. It is great to have them walk you through the problem.

6 out of 10

Easy to use, support is very good.

In-depth reports need to be more user friendly. They are canned. Have to run numerous reports to get all the fields that I need to see.

In nutshell, it's easy to operate and doesn't needs a deep understanding of the matters. Also, it's flexible regarding entries and processing.

quite impressed by the features that help allocate budget and manage payroll. It's easy to enter, proceed and get the job done in no time.

The cost is a little bit stretch compared to the earlier product I used.

Recommend to any farmer

Started using Redwing Agchek in 1992, works very well I know my profit and loss daily. I use the bank reconciliation, that keep me informed never an over draft. The asset records keeps me in touch with purchase price of a piece equipment when I desire to trade for newer equipment. Redwing software now Center Point has helped me to expand, bring my son into the farm operation and live comfortable.

No problems

Good program and liked the videos on how to do certain transactions and set up.

Helps keep our farm bookwork in order. We were audited this year and all of our stuff was in order. Just had to print it off and go over it. The audit went well.

It was somewhat hard for me to set up, but kept with it and did okay.

COULD NOT GET MY CHECKING BEGINNING BALANCE IN. THEY SHOULD GET A MANUAL WITH PROGRAM AS SOMEBODY THAT IS NOT VERY COMPUTER SAVY I CANNOT WATCH VIDEOS THEN TRY TO DO THE PROCEDURE, IT EASIER TO READ FROM A MANUAL. I JUST WANTED A SIMPLE TAX PACKAGE BUT GOT ONE THAT YOU HAVE TO BE AN COLLEGE GRADUATE TO USE. THANK YOU

NOTHING

TO HARD TO USE
