Unanet AE

Reliable accounting solution for years

Pros

It is very easy to use and implement Unanet in your system. I have enjoyed assessing projects thanks to real-time data provided by the software. This enables me to share a quick report with my clients in order to let them know about the progress of the project and also to inform them that a certain metric is not performing as expected and they need to increase/decrease the budget for that. Unanet has also helped me process my bills much more accurately and manage expenses with strict accounting reviews. In my professional experience, I have tried a variety of project accounting systems, but Unanet outperforms them all in terms of use, adaptability, and customer service.

Cons

Unanet is a complete solution for project management, which includes the excellent accounting features. However, any PM software is incomplete without a purchase feature, which sadly is the case with Unanet.

Strong cloud-based accounting features

Pros

The most appealing feature of Unanet is its cloud-based setup. This reduces the risk of data theft by a huge margin since the security is taken care of by the company itself. If we run into any problems then customer support is just a simple trouble ticket away. It being cloud-based also means that all the data is always up to date no matter who accesses it from which location. It has many integrations and genuinely eliminates the need for switching back and forth between different software for different purposes.

Cons

It is prone to periodic data lags over which we have no control because the program is being run on vendor's servers and not our own. Also, there is a fee if you want the vendor to assist you in setting it up, and you must use your own SMTP server if you wish to send emails. This is the only real problem I have with Unanet. For the price it incurs and for it to genuinely be a service, it should have its own email capacity. Overall, I think its a fantastic SaaS, but you should be aware of its shortcomings before using it.

Editing documents is quick and simple

Pros

Its very easy to import and add documents in Unanet. We are able to add comments to the documents wherever we want and it helps that there is no character limit to that. It has timely updates and works way faster than other software I have tried. It can be customized for catering to the specific needs of all the departments working together. We can also manipulate already present documents to create new slightly modified ones within minutes since it makes accessing and editing the documents so easy because its very user-friendly. Its good value for money considering the number of features it offers.

Cons

Accessing the timesheet is easy for multiple users but problems arise if more than one user is currently entering or modifying the information. Data is completely lost sometimes of at least one of the users upon updating the software. It would be great to have the option of opening multiple sheets with different information at the same time so that we can quickly have a glance at a particular piece of information without losing much time in opening and closing the sheets. Their customer support is great and they respond quickly so Im sure these concerns will be addressed in no time.
