## Reviews

### "Best Accounting Software for Business" — 5.0/5

> **Anuj** | *20 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Busy is super easy to operate as it does not require any special course or training before using it. busy comes with tons of features like billing and invoice creation which other accounting software doesn't have. i can easily operate it, maintain ledger and accounts. busy made my work easy in daily life official work. financial statements, account statements , sales report and summary all are available here.
> 
> **Cons**: The only i did not like is that i paid for whole software and  i cannot use it without hardware key and it is difficult to operate your old data once you upgrade to next version. you would need assistance from customer support to do so.
> 
> my overall experience with busy is great, i am using this software from past 6+year and it made my life easy in accounts. previously i was using tally prime which quite difficult to operate and no fresh user can use it but here it so easy to operate for fresh and new users too. Invoice creation was so time consuming work by doing manually but in busy software it so steady and quick

> **Diptanshu** | *6 December 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good software for daily accounting and inventory management usage
> 
> **Cons**: Customer Support. The staffs are not trained properly in Tier 1 and they always goof up with the system. Without our permission they click here and there on Anydesk and ruin the settings. Then once you escalate the senior team sorts out the issue/
> 
> Okish. Its ok to use on a daily basis for our work.
