Considered Both Products
MYOB
Chose MYOB
I selected MYOB because most of our clients are using this tool, this is the most convenient accounting software for them that's why we adopted MYOB app and MYOB website. We also covered a training for our clients to make them see that this accounting tool is easily to use.
Chose MYOB
I found Xero just a little to plain for my liking, I went with MYOB for my second business as it was easier to do this, and I already knew how it all worked. Xero does have a few features that are pretty good, but overall I think MYOB is a better product.
Chose MYOB
better than Xero in several ways. Easy to use (if you can get it working by yourself without any support)
Chose MYOB
I did a trial run on Xero I had trouble finding how to set up things, the customer support was terrible. The support you get from MYOB when you need it is really good.
Chose MYOB
the feature, reporting are much better than saasu. from developer's perspective, MYOB also allows us to pull the data a lot. Unlike Saasu where it limits the users to retrieve data on daily basis. There is a cost to use MYOB, but definitely worth it.
Chose MYOB
We use deputy for timesheets, and it is much better than MYOB
Chose MYOB
Some of my clients switched to Xero as they were using MYOB ACE payroll before but ACE payroll is a workstation based application which is not supported on Microsoft Server 2016 or Microsoft Server 2019. The only upgrade was the essentials and essentials plus but it was …
Chose MYOB
Better platform, similar pricing, and much better customer communications and service.
Chose MYOB
Not even close. Though I will say MYOB had a budget module where Zoho Books doesn't which is one thing severely lacking in Zoho Books. On the other hand, Zoho Books allows for payment processing integration without trying to get a cut from the process whereas MYOB allowed for …
Chose MYOB
MYOB is not a very good program (technically speaking), is far too slow and cumbersome, has hardly changed in 20 years, is not well supported and is far too expensive for what it is - don't buy it or use it - it is a waste of time and money and will let you down.
Chose MYOB
It was selected only because it works with MAC. I prefer Thomson Reuter softwares. Software like QuickBooks and MYOB allows uneducated clients to manipulate their numbers when they shouldn't. This makes more work for everyone.
Chose MYOB
MYOB may have other options that are cloud based and better for business as they make simple, easy to use software. We used the database version locally on our machines and it was difficult for our sales and accounting as only one person can edit at any given time.
Workday Financial Management
Chose Workday Financial Management
We are still using Applied Epic for our end AMS system to record client and policy info for our agencies. Workday is a great add on tool we use for our consolidated financials.
Chose Workday Financial Management
More features at a better cost.
Chose Workday Financial Management
Workday Financial Management provides a seamless experience to access your required documents or review your pay history. Everything can be done in one place. It true is the one stop shop for digital HR hub to open up self serve to employees. Workday Financial Management has …
Chose Workday Financial Management
Despite AirTable also being easier to use one thing that differentiates and put forth Workday Financial Management tool above is it's key features and better suited functionality for handling confidential data. The other positive note where Workday Financial Management performs …
Chose Workday Financial Management
I have much less experience working with Salesforce finicial application. but as per my knowledge it also provides reboust features and one of the top competitor of its. Workday Financial Management need to improve more and more to sustain.
Chose Workday Financial Management
WFM is integrated with SSO, while others are not fully integrated. SAP Concur was used mostly for expense report management, while Deltek Costpoint was used for project time and cost management. Deltek was not very user-friendly, unreliable, and expensive for what it handled.
Chose Workday Financial Management
Workday is far superior to UKG. UKG felt cumbersome while being used, whereas Workday felt easy and intuitive. Workday allows for an easier flow of completing numerous everyday functions. I aim to integrate it into as many of my daily work routines as I can, reducing the time …
Chose Workday Financial Management

Chose Workday Financial Management
Workday Financial Management absolutely blows them out of the water. Hands down is the best choice. It’s the clear winner for all teams using it. It can change your employees lives and day to day software challenges to speed up and develop reports needed across departments.
Chose Workday Financial Management
The processing power of Workday Financial Management we much better. The other systems didn't run as fast when trying to look at the financials or running any of the various reports that we would need. It also has a cleaner view when looking at the details.
Chose Workday Financial Management
The application data of users in the case of PeopleSoft is stored in its proprietary data storage, whereas Workday Financial Management connects to outside databases to create analytics reports. Therefore, this option uplifts the need to use Workday Financial Management as an …
Chose Workday Financial Management
We went from PeopleSoft to Workday because of the efficiency and ease of use. There were a lot of limitations in PeopleSoft, just in simple things like character limits on fields that did not allow us to be as detailed. Workday Financial Management/Revenue Management has very …
Chose Workday Financial Management
The costs to implement Hyperion were astronomical comparted to Workday. Furthermore, the implementation timeline was probably a third of what we would have been looking at had we gone with Hyperion. Simply put, we got somewhere in the neighborhood of 90% of what we needed for …
Chose Workday Financial Management
  • It is a simple and intuitive solution that can be customized for your specific needs.
  • It unifies HR and finance, giving you predictive analytics, real-time insights, and global visibility.
  • It offers a single version of the tool to meet the requirements of diverse companies.
Chose Workday Financial Management
Stacking up it was a faster and more inexpensive implementation. Granted it was still early in the system development years, but the results and the five years of using it speak for themselves. Cloud we wanted, comprehensive financials was a core functional requirement and …
Chose Workday Financial Management
I miss using Workday Financial Managment, and if I moved departments or took on more responsibilities with the financials I would definitely recommend it!

For a smaller business who isn't interested in having more than one user I think MYOB can serve them well. But if they want multiple users or are using virtual assistants there are better cloud based apps that are much more affordable and have far greater enhancements as well as integrations

Our primary model for budgeting revenue is centered on patient counts. Missed assumptions early in the year result in massive ramifications over the balance of the year. Workday formulas allowed us to write formulas to project the recovery of such shortfalls over a variable length of time, resulting in realistic projections for overcoming said shortfalls.

Pros
  • MYOB is very easy to navigate and find the correct information.
  • The Help section was very straight forward and very easy to learn.
  • MYOB was a great accounting tool for our business as it provided the accountant, sales, etc all of the information they need all in one place.

  • We specically wanted a cloud financial management system that we could use in China and communicate reports to the headquarters organization and roll-up reporting. It performs well.
  • It was reasonably priced since we are not a for-profit company and need the Workday flexibility for finance and accounting operations. Most of our requirements are met with this one system.
  • The system worked efficiently with the additional security we built on to keep confidential. Many reports are ready off-the-shelf or easy to develop, which is a strength.

  • The automatic save function isn't always active for the cloud version. I'm not sure if it is a glitch or a settings issue.
  • There are some limitations to customizations.
  • Updates don't go through properly on the system, leading to downtime issues.

Workday Financial Management is an easy to use, productive software suite that really brings all departments together and improved workplace efficiency. Before we began using the software, much info was partitioned in random places that were not clearly labeled or accessible to all shareholders. We are very pleased with Workday Financial Management.

MYOB accounting software basically works but looks and functions like 1998. Unfortunately their Antipiracy licensing system is absolutely TERRIBLE and verging on nearly criminal, scam! You must CONFIRM each and every data file and when it doesnt work you have to PAY THEM to fix their own file protection issues. If you dont pay them, they hold your data hostage as your company accounting information file becomes READ ONLY. Permantly, unless you pay them. This is a total extortion SCAM. I cannot believe a company can operate this way. With a lot of better product available... i dont imagine MYOB is going to survive much longer.

The application data of users in the case of PeopleSoft is stored in its proprietary data storage, whereas Workday Financial Management connects to outside databases to create analytics reports. Therefore, this option uplifts the need to use Workday Financial Management as an interactive tool of business intelligence. The release model of Workday Financial Management is ahead of Oracle because it has a continual announcement of more functionality that is a very attractive incentive for our project management team for improving and developing the ongoing operational streams.

  • Workday has helped my employer save money over the past couple of year by tracking time of employees and how long were days looking like.
  • It has enables us to make better decisions by hiring more people instead of paying overtime to those who already work in order to have the right work/leisure balance
  • The platform has also helped us to redesign our policies after seeing when employees were clocking in and clocking out and track people who were showing up late for work
