### "Highly Recommend\!" — 5.0/5

> **Taylor** | *10 February 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The activity log is very helpful to help keep up with payments. Some customers get behind or pay ahead and pay different amounts than the bill so being able to see that activity helps me make sure their account is correct. I also like that when customers pay online through GovPortal it transfers over to Rural Billing. This has been super helpful so I don't miss customer payments.
> 
> **Cons**: So far I have not come across anything I have had problems with.
> 
> Since I took over our sewer department, I have had to learn how to use this software and it has been super easy and I haven't had much problem with figuring it out. My hard drive recently crashed and customer support was able to help me get back on track and it took no time\!

### "I have had a good experience with the software." — 4.0/5

> **Stephen** | *4 January 2016*

> Most features are good but there are a couple that could be somewhat different. Meter changes and readings are a big concern here. Changing out meters and entering new readings are impossible if we are reading to do billing.
