Aplos Reviews

“My review . .

Pros

The software is comprehensive and easy to follow. However, it may not be as direct for those without an advanced accounting background.

Cons

Currently, I have no cons or specific aspects I like least.

“New to Fund Accounting

Pros

I really like how direct the Reconciliation process is it's easy to understand and works perfectly. The support provided by Aplos is invaluable. As someone new to Fund Accounting, with no prior experience, I've been with Aplos for over a year and they've always been willing to help me understand and rectify any misunderstandings.

Cons

I find it inconvenient that I can't easily find a vendor to enter a new A/P entry and have to scroll through pages. A simple search function would be more efficient. Additionally, the reporting process feels confusing and non-intuitive at times, requiring several unclear steps to generate the desired report. Moreover, I believe the monthly price should include a second user for dual control purposes, like bank reconciliations.

“Great software for non-profits

Pros

Aplos offers many useful features that support daily operations, events, and donor management for non-profits.

Cons

There's a need for a better sign-up process to recruit and track volunteers effectively.

“Aplos is great

Pros

The ease of use is exceptional, and the support is always timely.

Cons

Unlike QuickBooks, Aplos doesn't allow setting up vendors with specific account numbers, which is a limitation.

“Best Fund Accounting Software for Small Non-Profit Organization

Pros

Setting up and using Aplos is direct. It's easy to train new bookkeepers, and it seamlessly processes online donations. Our clients like the reporting provided by Aplos, and transferring data from QuickBooks was a breeze.

Cons

It's essential for Aplos to expand its app integration capabilities.

“Intuitive Software and great support

Pros

When I took over as treasurer, our use of the software was inefficient, and we weren't utilizing its functionalities effectively. Working with the Aplos team, I was able to articulate our needs, and they translated them into practical features. In a short time, I set up funds and tracked finances more effectively, providing a clearer picture of our financial health.

Cons

I wasn't involved during implementation, so I can't determine if issues stemmed from Aplos or our team. Now that I understand the software, careful planning of its applications is crucial.

“Aplos Review

Pros

Easy to navigate and set up, Aplos offers essential project management and budgeting tools crucial for my office. It's an all-in-one solution that meets all our accounting needs in one place.

Cons

The software lacks social media management and doesn't integrate well with some of our fundraising tools.

“The Aplos Advantage

Pros

I like that this software is cloud-based, ensuring all entries are automatically saved and easily corrected or deleted. Its cloud accessibility allows me to access it from anywhere.

Cons

Instead of using technical accounting terms, Aplos employs simpler language and methods. It all makes sense, although it took some time to get used to terms like tags and purposes.

“Very Difficult and Complicated, With Poor Tech Support

Pros

Aplos shows great potential for non-profits compared to QuickBooks.

Cons

The bank integration in Aplos has been problematic for me. Unlike QuickBooks for nonprofits, where integration works smoothly, what appears in Aplos often doesn't match the bank records. Tech support responds quickly, but the solutions offered haven't resolved the issue, leaving me uncertain. I may revert to QuickBooks, which, once you grasp the business terminology, is direct and more reliable.

“(Customer Serice) - Thank You!

Pros

The features and usability of Aplos have been instrumental in managing our church's accounts, although I'm still learning.

Cons

I'm still learning how to maximize the software's features. As I become more familiar with it, I'll share any ideas or insights that may arise.

“GREAT Software

Pros

I like that it's tailored specifically for nonprofit organizations.

Cons

The knowledge base could benefit from better word recognition capabilities.

“Great for Church Finances

Pros

The updated dashboard and the graphical representation of finances are fantastic features that I love.

Cons

Transferring information from our previous system to Aplos did take a considerable amount of time. After four months, we were finally ready to start using the program.

“Great for church finances and more

Pros

Transitioning from paper to online accounting with Aplos was seamless. It's effortless to enter data, generate reports, manage contributions, and track church membership.

Cons

Users with limited computer experience might find it a bit challenging, although this is typical for any online accounting system.

“Aplos system user rating review

Pros

The support team is responsive and provides immediate assistance, which is invaluable.

Cons

Aplos lacks direct GL posting entry for online donation transactions via credit card charges.

“Good but would like a few features

Pros

It's direct to use and grasp. Budgeting proved to be highly beneficial, and transferring funds between different accounts was effortless.

Cons

There aren't different user profiles to aid in internal controls. As the accountant, my responsibility was bank reconciliations to verify the treasurer, yet I could also make entries.

“easy and fast reporting

Pros

What stands out most about this software is its intuitive design, ease of navigation, appealing visual layout, and accessibility.

Cons

One thing I wish this software had is an option or settings feature, like a checklist, that prompts users for all necessary nonprofit tasks.

“Takes care of the business I care most about.

Pros

I like its cloud-based nature, allowing me to access it from anywhere. Moreover, it's more cost-effective compared to other alternatives.

Cons

I wish the reports were more comprehensive and better organized.

“The best way to receive donations.

Pros

It's ideal for international fundraising easy to navigate, affordable, with strong customer support and reliable performance.

Cons

I haven't encountered any drawbacks. My experience with Aplos has been entirely positive.

“Expensive for a non-profit

Pros

It offers numerous features, perhaps more than we'll ever need. The sales team was helpful, and it seems capable of meeting all our nonprofit's requirements and more.

Cons

It's quite expensive for a nonprofit organization. Most accounting options for nonprofits are costly. I believe there should be more affordable products/services tailored for 501(c)3 organizations like ours.

“Accounting for any Church

Pros

I'm impressed by how user-friendly the interface is and how easily I can navigate through it.

Cons

I wish the graphs on the software's dashboard came with more extensive customization options.
