Accounting Seed vs. DDMSPLUS

Accounting Seed is a great solution for businesses looking for reliable accounting software. It offers all the features needed and works as expected. In addition, it is not as pricey as many competitors and therefore a great choice. I would recommend it for both startups and established businesses.

it seems to be able to handle multiple locations well. It has a good vpn connection. It makes working at home easy. The problem is it is still run on a dos system. They are removing it slowly, but not all aspects of DDMSPLUS are easy. In my experience, it is hard to get any types of reporting out of that system. For us, AP and payroll are impossible.

• Anyone can recognize donors that are also vendors.
• Extracting general ledger detail is accurate and easy - allowing us to ensure the GL matches revenue detail from donations, box office and education.
• Budgeting is actually pretty nimble now that I am using it more.

• Sometimes when creating a receipt it can't seem to find the company I am searching for in the drop-down, I have to go out to the company and enter from there.
• Some of the accounting reports seem to be limited, though at times this may just be the user! Still learning as I go! But there have been some reports that state I would need to add another partner app to do, which would mean more cost.

• When setting up new accounts that have multiple departments and placing contracts under the account, you should only have to do the master account, and the contracts follow through.
• When setting up contacts under accounts for emails, you have to do each department,, and you have to close out and save before going to the following department, like you can do with adding credit cards.

Accounting Seed was easy to implement and use without third-party service providers' intervention. Furthermore, the vendor forwarded us a copy of articles and documentation on implementation, customization and integration, which made it much easier for us to integrate it with company API and other external programs.

It is a system that can be easily taught. I can hire inside persons and get them up and running really quick. Sales people can go to their customers and get information quickly and easily. It is easy to add inventory to the database and the warehouse learned the system quickly

We seldom have had to use their support but when we have, they have been responsive and actually were able to answer our questions in a simple, nontech language. You don't have to be a programmer to talk to them!

I have never used Xero at my current organization, but I used it at Alliance Data before Implementing Accounting Seed. Xero wasn’t updated much during the years that we were using it. Also, Xero failed to integrate with some of third-party applications that we were using. Finally, Accounting Seed was highly navigable, had clean UI/UX unlike Xero.

• Accounting Seed has been available to use at a reasonable annual cost.
• Installation, setup and integration cost were reasonable.
• Customization is simple so we do it our selves and saved money not using outside consultants

• Things like contracts under the master account only instead of having to carry them through to all departments would be a plus!
