Recording transactions is straightforward, and keeping bank activity up to date is simple. > > **Cons**: It does not offer good value for money compared with competitor products, and customer support is not available by telephone. As a partner, commission opportunities are limited, and payments are taken by direct debit. > > I’m generally happy with Xero. It’s very easy to use and integrates well with other products, though often at an additional cost. Its reporting features are somewhat limited, but they’re sufficient for what I need. ----- ### "Its nice that Xero does work & doesn't crash" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *7 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Xero's multi-entities didnt completely freeze my computer (which I thought was going to happen) when we finally got access to them. And the AI bill upload is meh, I suppose. It works occasionally and I get to not spend as much time uploading bills. We are able to track purchases by departments without having to create 1000s of user logins for each account so that is good. > > **Cons**: I think the pricing is high, other than that everything is good about Xero. So no complaints.. from my side. > > Its great to see that with this new version of Xero there isn't a need for us to manually type out every Accounts Receivable document as you can simply use a journal entry. This will probably eliminate some of the arguments between Sales Team \& Finance Teams since it ties directly into Salesforce. Overall, I'm glad its been able to handle our international entity access without freezing up the server. However, I still think the fixed assets are clunky... but hey at least the core accounting functionality works. ----- ### "Xero is complex" — 3.0/5 > **Sharon** | *3 April 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: There is a lot of customer support available however its not instant and when your completing your account's you need an immediatre response not a call back > > **Cons**: Its complicated to use and no-one explained you need multiple apps to upload your receipts and bills and pages of uploads banking invoices . I have found it very complex and frustrating > > It was a cheaper option than other software however i wish i hsd looked further into before signing up . Other business had advised me it was eady to use howrver it has took me so much more time thsn a basic spreadsheet and i just cant get away with it . I have had nunerous times onto customer support screen sharing and an onboarding session and still do not like this ----- ### "Simple and Efficient Cloud Accounting" — 5.0/5 > **Nikki** | *27 April 2026* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Xero is its clean, easy-to-use interface and automation features, especially bank reconciliation and invoicing, which save time and make managing finances much more straightforward. > > **Cons**: What I liked least about Xero is that customer support can be slow and limited, and some advanced features like reporting, payroll, and customization feel less flexible or harder to use than expected. > > My overall experience with Xero has been positive. It’s an easy-to-use platform that simplifies accounting tasks like invoicing, bank reconciliation, and expense tracking with strong automation features. It’s especially helpful for keeping finances organized in one place. However, some advanced reporting and customization features can feel limited, and support isn’t always fast, but overall it’s a reliable and efficient accounting tool. ----- ### "Easy even for the newbies\!" — 5.0/5 > **Laura** | *3 June 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to navigate, as someone new to accounts spaces I find it very intuitive and user friendly. I especially love that the home page is customisable so I can change it to only see the accounts I need. Invoicing is a breeze, with option to import invoices straight from emails and copy previous invoices it saves so much time\! The reporting area can feel intimidating to begin with, but once I favourited the ones I need I now find it very straightforward. > > **Cons**: There have been some occasional reliability issues, with updates sometimes taking a day or two after the incident to be communicated by their support team. ----- Page: 1 / 134\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/169561/xero?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/169561/xero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
