IFS Cloud

Pros

• Group consolidation is built in, with currency translation, mapping to a group chart of accounts and intercompany eliminations, which suits multinational groups.
• Parallel ledgers and multi-dimensional accounting allow reporting under several standards at once.
• Finance is tightly linked with asset management, field service and manufacturing in the same platform.
• E-invoicing through Pagero and country-specific tax e-reporting formats such as FatturaPA and SII support compliance across Europe.
• G2 reviewers praise the open API and good documentation.

Cons

• No public pricing, and one review site cites a starting point of about $250,000 for a perpetual licence.
• Implementations are long; G2 users report an average of about 10 months, and one reviewer called the work huge and very demanding.
• G2 reviewers describe configuration and permissions as complex and hard to manage.
• Some users report slow performance for reports and searches.
• Customer support is among the most common complaints on G2.

Tiime

Pros

• Invoicing is free on every tier, with no limit on the number of quotes and invoices, plus e-invoicing through Tiime's registered platform.
• The business's accountant can see its data for free, and around 2,000 accounting firms are reported as partners.
• Bank sync categorises transactions automatically, and receipts can be captured by phone, which cuts pre-accounting work.
• Paid plans come with a 60-day trial, and the entry plan costs 9.99 euros a month.
• Users rate it highly, with about 4.8 out of 5 on Google and Trustpilot.

Cons

• Tiime only does pre-accounting. The full ledger and the tax return package are left to an accountant using Tiime's separate production tool.
• The business account cannot send transfers outside the euro zone and offers no overdraft.
• Reviewers say modules cannot be bought on their own, and the free plan is fairly limited for running a business.
• Users have reported occasional bugs, including after one update on Mac.
• It is aimed at the French market and at companies with up to 20 employees. Larger firms must request a quote.
