The app for the phone does not function properly. > > I think are betterapps out there more useful and with better organize ----- ### "Solid product, probably right for most instances" — 4.0/5 > **Steven** | *31 August 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The integration with quickbooks is seamless. > > **Cons**: The interface can be very sluggish sometimes > > This is critical for what we do and it saves me a ton of time ----- ### "Review" — 3.0/5 > **Derek** | *2 November 2020* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Like that it is integrated with quickbooks. Is the central nervous system for our company. Easy to use on the browser. > > **Cons**: A couple of issues to comment on. First, the mobile app has gone down in quality over the years. With each release of a new iOS for the iPhone, the app becomes less and less useful. There are scroll bars everywhere...the pages are not displaying correctly, etc. I find myself having to wait to do things in the browser which defeats the purpose of having a mobile app here. Investment is needed here. Second would be performance. Saves are very slow for example. Data syncs stall...and if you are after hours for support, you are out of luck until the next business day. This is especially troublesome for folks that do the books on the weekend. 3rd is reporting. The reporting tool is inflexible. Custom reports often time out with cryptic errors. Would love to get access to the data to be able to built pivot tables or just spreadsheets to review our business. 4th feature requests seem to go into a black hole. I, personally, have stopped entering them as no action was taken on them. > > Overall, I am happy enough with the tool...however it has the potential to be so much more powerful for us. It is fine for now, but as we grow, we may look at other solutions...especially relating to reporting and analysis... ----- ### "Parish Ekos Review" — 4.0/5 > **Carli** | *16 August 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The implementation of Ekos was easy and seamless. I wish there had been further support on the integration with QuickBooks. We mostly use Ekos for inventory management, production planning, invoicing, and reporting. We could not operate easily without Ekos. I appreciate how Ekos continues to improve and evolve. > > **Cons**: I find the connection between items in Ekos and Quickbooks can sometimes be faulty, but that includes human error. ----- ### "Ekos Review 2023" — 4.0/5 > **Cameron** | *31 August 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to see the floor plan of my workplace > > **Cons**: Mobile application is somewhat buggy and is considerably slower ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/105330/ekos?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/105330/ekos) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
