Considered Both Products
Yooz
Chose Yooz
PDF is too much slow in OCR reading, comparing to Yooz. you can't compare it even.
Chose Yooz
Chrome River is slow and full of inconsistencies. Capturing invoices is confusing, as you have to assign approvers and coding at that time. No time to save it and research those details. It has multiple screens labeled inbox but are for different stages in the approval process …
Chose Yooz
it better with uploading invoice and easier to use and very assessable and easy to learn and has a lot of verification so errors on payments are avoided and also used to know which invoice is late and needs to be paid and coded
Chose Yooz
I did not choose yooz myself as it was a company decision
Chose Yooz
They are all different for each other. In our scenario, since we do not use QuickBooks as our software system, Yooz works better with integration to Sage Intacct
Chose Yooz
Yooz is much more user friendly and provides more features
Chose Yooz
We looked at other products when we chose Yooz and all were comparable, the key focus was that Yooz integrated with our ERP
Chose Yooz
Yooz has better accuracy and it is more automated to do tasks itself.
Chose Yooz
We used POs or excel sheets you had to manually enter and scan in invoices so it was definitely a pain and super time consuming.
Chose Yooz
We liked Yooz better and it was competitive on the monthly payment basis
Chose Yooz
Our corporate team chose the switch - I see why the change and it is beneficial, however, not very time saving!
Chose Yooz
Have not used other products in the past. This one is great! Don't plan on changing !
Chose Yooz
Yooz is more simple to use but doesn't have as many features.
Chose Yooz
Yooz comes close to Coupa, but Coupa is much more robust and can handle much larger batches of information.

Yooz performed well against Bank of America's Checkbook product, because it was more efficient.
Chose Yooz
Selected Yooz because of the dynamic workflow ability.
Chose Yooz
Deltek Maconomy, Citrix Endpoint Management and KlearStack
Zoho Books
Chose Zoho Books
Affordability better, online access better, automations better, integration with our CRM and inventory better, customizability better
Chose Zoho Books
Zoho Books has a much simpler GUI and the reason we selected Zoho is because of the integration of Zoho Books across other applications and especially into Zoho products. One of the other reasons is the time log feature we can easily pair up with a client service ticket to show …
Chose Zoho Books
equally comparable to other payment processing made online, the benefit of using Zoho is that it has so many other apps and tools that are easily integrated like Zoho Sign, e.g. for sending out quotes etc. but also can be connected via an API to many other commercial platforms …
Chose Zoho Books
Much simpler than QuickBooks Desktop. For our needs, the pricing for Zoho Books when bought through a Zoho One subscription was a much better value. Our outside Audit firm was also able to follow Zoho Books much easier than our previous records.
Chose Zoho Books
I found Zoho Books to be more intuitive and user friendly. I also appreciated that it is cloud based, unlike the versions of QB I had used in the past. So our team was able to work remotely when needed, which was especially helpful during a pandemic.
Chose Zoho Books
We had a lot of problems with Exact Online, support-wise and price-wise. So Zoho Books wins on every point there. While Exact offers way more options, it tends to be really slow... and complex. Again Zoho Books wins.

If you want an easy-to-use tool and not pay a lot of money, …
Chose Zoho Books
Zoho Books is significantly inferior to the competition. The listings offered here would not allow me to choose QB or MYOB.
Chose Zoho Books
I believe it is way easier to use, has more robust features, seamless integration with other Zoho apps like CRM, Projects, etc. is super useful and has saved a lot of time. Streamlining this process has been easy, and the end result is better reporting, improved decision making …
Chose Zoho Books
  • QuickBooks Online is much harder to use than Zoho Books. We found that Zoho Books was easy to train staff, and the online help is excellent.
  • Qickbooks Desktop is endlessly buggy, requiring frequent IT support calls and a dedicated server for multi-user access.
  • Online payments for …
Chose Zoho Books
Cloud vs. desktop, this and the fact that Zoho Books syncs with our other Zoho apps were the most pressing reasons for switching to Zoho Books. As mentioned previously, we consider our accounting software to be an integral part of doing business efficiently, and we can now do …
Chose Zoho Books
Easier to integrate with other Zoho apps. It’s also customized for mobile use making it easy to use wherever I am. I can get real-time updates on payments while in the field via the mobile app. The software is customizable and adaptable so I can easily make it fit various …
Chose Zoho Books
[QuickBooks and Zoho] are very comparable until you open your wallet. While they are both neck-and-neck with one another in features, QuickBooks does have the integration advantage. There are many more platforms that integrate with QB than Zoho Books. But Zoho has so many …
Chose Zoho Books
The very easy to read dashboard, the clear categorization, the customization features, the easy learning curve and the seamless integration with other Zoho products (that we use a lot and frequently) are for our company the reasons why we favored Zoho books over other …
Chose Zoho Books
I love the price/quality ratio of Zoho Books, and it's an awesome application to handle all your accounting, inventory, and buying processes. It's simple to use so the company doesn't have to spend too much time and money on training new employees.

Chose Zoho Books
Zoho Books was an easy choice for us because of the features and smaller learning curve. Most of our staff have been able to come in and learn how to use it within hours versus the days it used to take to learn QuickBooks. Also being online, we are able to have real-time stats …
Chose Zoho Books
Quickbooks is the standard. ZOHO Books will give it a run for its money. Your accountant may not like the fact that you switch over to Zoho Books, but since it's completely web-based, you are able to give them access to your account easily.
Chose Zoho Books
The main difference here was the time tracking functionality that goes to a project specific nature. We do multiple projects with the same client and need to be able to split our time amongst those different projects for the purpose of reporting and invoicing.
Chose Zoho Books
Zoho Books is plain clunky. It does integrate with their CRM and other apps and that was why I had been attracted to it. But if you are in Australia, be very careful if you are moving from Zoho invoices. You won't get transferred data to the Australian platform and you will …
Chose Zoho Books
In comparison, Zoho is about the same price but comes with a lot more customizable fields. There are other solutions that feed right in and make it so there is only one place you need to go to get a full picture of your business and what you need to do to keep it running …
Chose Zoho Books
One of the best business decisions we have made in our company is getting Zoho Books. Customer service is really really fast. If you have a problem or questions they will get to you within minutes and they are constantly improving the application and listening to our feedback …
Chose Zoho Books
It's cloud based and AccountEdge wasn't at the time we needed it, a cloud based app. Zoho Books updates come automatically which makes it real convenient. Pricing was comparable and with AccountEdge it seems we were having frequent networking issues when being used by …
Chose Zoho Books
We made the switch from Quickbooks to ZohoBooks because of the CRM integration. Though Zoho Books has proven to be less hectic and less of a search when it comes to finding the needed features. In other words, its very user friendly! Everything is set up in a very simple, easy …
Chose Zoho Books
I selected Zoho Books initially for the best price, it offered and thereafter I became a fan of using the software and It was a nice experience using it overall, I even recommended at times in the place of Tally ERP 9. The more once used, the more it can be recommended to …
Chose Zoho Books
Would rank Zoho Books high up there among the options in the market. It has a wide feature base, smooth interface and comes highly trusted and reviewed.

Likelihood to Recommend
when you have put the amount in, and the amount does not match the invoice yooz sends an alert to indicate that there is a missing amount that you have not added, and it also helps to let you know when some invoice amounts are more than the usual get for that vendor so you can take note

Zoho Books is good for a company or organization that wants to keep track of invoices, payments, and cash flow. If you do not have a full-time accountant in your organization, it can work well as whenever you hire one or have someone check your books, the information they need will be there, provided it has been entered into Zoho Books. It works as a one-man operation or a small team. For larger teams, it would depend on how much information needs to be input on a daily basis.

Pros
  • Strong integtation with Intacct (our GL)
  • Strong OCR capabilities that capture the key information of an invoice with accuracy
  • Very responsive Support Team if we encounter a problem or have a question.

  • The projects feature is what we use a lot it helps setting up projects as well as tracking expenses and bills for the whole project. The budgeting feature is very developed, allowing you to budget by total project cost, total project hours, hours per task, or hours per staff.
  • Customer Estimates and Invoices are very easy to setup and send directly from the app (it also has a very nice and customizable reminder option).
  • Stock and pricing listings is very intuitive and easy and makes it a very helpful and time saving feature.
  • Bank reconciliation and Financial reporting are very developed and make it easy to share information with bookeepers and accounting specialists.

Cons
  • when exporting we have to change the total column's to numbers or it will export with the incorrect totals.
  • Yooz needs to not allow itself to add a line to the total and change what you are posting. instead it needs to freeze you from moving on.

  • Printing checks - they only offer one vendor and they are expensive compared to QuickBook alternatives.
  • Their interface for bids - retainers and applying them against income could be improved, but once you know how it's easy.
  • Their recurring fees don't seem to always work the way I'd want. But overall they work.

Usability
Usability of Yooz is close to 10, solves the issue that many companies have and serve to its purpose. The platform is simple, but well design and it is always improving. Since we started using it almost 8 months ago, the invoicing process of our company enhanced sharply. But there is also room for improvement that is why a 9/10

Customization is the biggest struggle for us and most of the time we need to involve a tech person. The chat support is a great feature and very helpful. It would be great to be able to customize and create invoices and correspondence (templates) such are reminders in multiple languages within one organization. The currency (USD) would be the same. We have clients in different countries that don't speak English but pay in USD.

The support team feels very disjointed. We have filtered through a number of "lead" contacts and are frequently spammed by other Zoho members. Once getting an appropriate support contact on the phone - the team is very helpful, it just takes a lot of hoop jumping to get there. We actually unsubscribed from their support package as we were not getting the value we were looking for.

Chrome River is slow and full of inconsistencies. Capturing invoices is confusing, as you have to assign approvers and coding at that time. No time to save it and research those details. It has multiple screens labeled inbox but are for different stages in the approval process that aren't specified unless you go into the invoice and review. When you go to exit the invoice, it takes you back to the main menu instead of the inbox you were currently working in. It is live, but the updates are every 10-15 minutes as opposed to immediately.

Return on Investment
  • Yooz helped us process thousands of invoices in a more efficient manner than our previous process called Checkbook with Bank of America.
  • Yooz allowed for a more efficient invoice approval process than the previous systems that were used. If the invoices were three way matched, they would be processed quicker.
  • Yooz made the integration of the invoice and credit memo process into NetSuite more efficient than the previous software, however, there some limitations with Yooz because it did allow for duplicate invoices to be processed, and that was a big issue.

  • I was able to cut my costs for a more complete and easy to use tool.
  • Many transactions, and accounting tasks on 1 platform, reduction in time by a lot.
  • Clients can pay without leaving your website (less drop-off, better conversions).
