Unit 4 financials for the smaller business
Good for the price!
Pros
I like that this software is easy to use. It is best suited for a small business. You can filter out the pieces that you need quite easily.
Cons
You do have to know accounting as everything is not just "ill in the blank, like you would on a tax program.

CODA Review

It is fairly intuitive and easy to use. They genuinely seem to care about customer feedback recently, but the last few years, that seemed to go away.
Likes Least
I believe that the product is getting very complicated, especially on the back end, and CODA support themselves are having a hard time keeping up with it, particularly in the web version. Also, CODA seems to be charging for everything that is extra outside of the core product.
Recommendations
Evaluate all features you need first - and want second - and see what it costs to get them.

CODA Excel is great to use. You can create your own reports for virtually any purpose or format. We now do our journal entries at month-end using CODA Excel, and it has saved a good amount of time. Also, CODA is quick to respond to any issues or questions we may have.

Most everything works great, but one thing that would be nice to have is the ability to see all error messages when posting a journal entry. We could have a 200 line entry full of errors, but we have to address each one line by line. Being able to see all errors at once would greatly improve productivity when dealing with these kinds of entries.
Recommendations
I would highly recommend CODA to others for its versatility and superior customer support.

We have used Unit4Financials for 24 years so we are obviously happy with it
Pros
Unit 4 Financials gives Finance users and Administrators an edge on other systems based on features and system design . It is well written and designed and their support in A-1
Cons
Some old features like maintaining Hierarchies need updating and may not be needed in today's design. Also the Client Server piece was removed in version 14 and many AP users prefer that to the web and it does have functionality that the web version does not . Feel free to contact me if needed for this

Overall, we are pleased with Unit4 Financials. It has provided efficiencies to our financial reporting process.
Pros
I love the element structure, and the ability to receive imports from our Insurance system. It gives us the ability to sub-analyze and report in all the ways that are necessary and valuable to our company.
Cons
We are currently stuck in Version 12. For the past couple of months, we have been attempting to upgrade to Version 14. However, that version of Unit 4 Financials is not compatible with the IBM system we are on. It is concerning that this wasn't thoroughly tested and resolved before release, and the amount of time it is taking to remedy the situation is disappointing.
