Pros & Cons
Agenda
Pros

- DATEV-style booking logic and DATEV interfaces make it easy to work with tax advisors and to switch from DATEV.
- Computerwoche calls it a full-featured and cheaper alternative to DATEV for SMEs.
- The expert hotline is free in every package, and the hosted ASP option includes backups and updates in a German data center.
- Cost center and cost unit accounting with contribution margin analysis are built in.
Cons
- Built only for German law and the German language, and there is no mobile app according to Tax & Bytes.
- Very few public reviews: the four reviews on Capterra Germany average 2.3 out of 5, with 2.0 for ease of use.
- Usage-based costs for cloud use and payroll headcount make the full cost hard to predict.
- The listed prices are starting prices, and training costs extra.
