Opiniones de Aqilla

Powerful, quick and easy to use Accounting Software

Comentarios: My general experience with Aqilla has been good. Having never used the software before I have been pleasantly surprised how easy it is to use and how powerful it can be to produce financial reports on demand

Puntos a favor:

Aqilla has been very easy to use since I started using it in June 2019, with minimal training. I really like the fact that you can tailor your own reports on Aqilla so can tailor the reporting to your needs.

Contras:

I find it slightly confusing how to limit or add permission for users on various areas of the software

My Review of the Aqilla Accounting Package

Comentarios: There is a lot more to this package which I have not had chance to explore - my experience so far has been frustrating at times when I know I should be able to do things but have trouble to find out how, but on the whole Aqilla seems to be good value for money.

Puntos a favor:

It looks good on screen The easy ability to download information onto excel The ability to open up a second screen

Contras:

The top tab names, I find I regularly go into the wrong location for items. The help button, it has never brought up the problems I am trying to sort, seems to pick just the first word and give all items with that one word Changing Rough Posted documents to 'Posted', the system does not post into the period the document is already allocated to automatically, with several periods involved you have to Post month by month. Not being able to see the currency value total if more than 1 page, have to download an Excel report for the information.

Generally okay

Comentarios: Overall the relationship is better than what I found when I joined the company - the support desk and consultants are very helpful and try their best to answer our queries

Puntos a favor:

ability to extract reports quickly using Aqilla and Sharperlight

Contras:

the issues faced in our first year of implementation relating to transactions and effect - sometimes seems too complex

Easy in Easy out

Comentarios: Full accounting of Sales, Purchase & General Ledgers, through to Monthly Management accounts.
Budgeting and Trend analysis.
KPI's and ad-hoc queries and investigations.

Puntos a favor:

Ease of duplicating repetitive transaction saving time and potential keying errors. Integration with Sharperlight making data import/export a breeze. Continuous product enhancements keeping it current and improving the finance process.

Contras:

Some features are only progressed through Consultant intervention - as an IT savvy user I'd like to be able to do more.

Good for the right size/type of business

Comentarios: Good value for a basic reporting tool with integrated AP and expenses which would be perfect for a relatively stable group structure

Puntos a favor:

Good value for money Continuing to innovate Reasonable base funcationality on all the things will need

Contras:

Doesn't feel 'consumer grade' around expenses Approval hierarchy/workflow is a work round and not robust

General review

Puntos a favor:

The reporting functionality of Aqilla is brilliant , shaperlight provide a quick real time data ,which can be populated on excel for finance & non-finance users.

Contras:

I would personally like an additional feature, such as notifying customer of outstanding invoices due automatically.

Aqilla review

Comentarios: The flexibility of Aqilla with regards to report building gives the user freedom to customize it according to his needs. But It seems that information about how to use it is not clearly available. For example, if you try to get information on Aqilla website, it looks very messy and unhelpful.

Puntos a favor:

What I like the most about Aqilla is that it is cloud based.

Contras:

I do not like when it performs slower then normal , this normally happens when many users are accessing it.

A little complex but usable

Comentarios: Good for simple tasks, puchase orders etc but having to have so much information before you can submit anything is frustrating

Puntos a favor:

I like the fact that you can keep your documents tidy and all in one place

Contras:

The whole user interface just feels a little bit clunky to me

Aqilla is user friendly

Comentarios: my overall experience is very good

Puntos a favor:

The software is easy to use anywhere and at anytime. I like the option that you can upload documents , it makes preparing for audit easier. the system is easier to train to new users

Contras:

There is a room for improvement on the reporting are of the system.

All in one solution for financial data

Puntos a favor:

Aqilla has great features to manage and access to the financial data in the cloud.

Contras:

As a developer I had a little bit difficulty with getting used to the system at the beginning.

Good for companies with complex charts of account

Comentarios: Generally, the software works very well.

Puntos a favor:

It works very well with the way our Charity is set up, in that it provides the several categories for the various ways in which the financial records need to be reported.

Contras:

I've only used Aqilla for about two months, so my perspective is really from a new user who hasn't yet come to grips with all the features of the software. Therefore my comments are in comparison to other accounting software I've used. It would be great if Aqilla used obvious names for obvious things. For instance, 1) an invoice number in Aqilla is called "Originator Reference" rather than just Invoice number as in other software. 2) Supplier code is a short form of a full supplier name and makes me wonder why it was included. Why not just have one tab for "Supplier"? 3) What is the use for the Memorised tab?

Aqilla

Puntos a favor:

Facilitates electronic document archiving.

Contras:

Don't fully understand how it works ''under the bonnet' - hence a danger of creating erroneous transactions.

Well designed with a lot of great features for ease of use and analysis.

Comentarios: Flexibility. Ease of use. Analysis. Management Information.

Puntos a favor:

Well designed - it is consistent throughout. Easy to use - the document-centric approach is easy to understand. Plenty of useful features, especially the user-defined attributes to analyze your accounting data. Goes well beyond just keeping the books. The people on the support hotline are helpful and knowledgeable. The "pay per user" monthly subscription model is great value for money.Everything is designed to make the job easier and the data accessible.

Its easy to work with for a small business

Comentarios: Able to do things quickly. No delay. Don't think I could do without it now.

Puntos a favor:

Anyone could use it easily, Not only accountants but any member of staff. It has help options and the support team are just a phone call away.

Contras:

So many features, you may not know existed and you're not making use of it. I found out the other day that I could be using widgets to remind me when to do stuff which is quite handy.

Not Very Easy to Use

Comentarios: We use Aqilla to authorize expenses. I do not have to use very often, but have accesses as both a user and an authoriser for the people I manage. Confirming expenses is easier than submitting them.

Puntos a favor:

Any actions added are delivered directly to administrators, so they are acted on quickly.

Contras:

Not very easy to use for the first few times. The format can be confusing, for example if you need to set up multiple expense claims in a month.
