Hello,
I use AR19.12 - have been using MYOB ever since Version 3. I like it - it's pretty good but not perfect. One thing I do like about it - it's fast. I don't waste time sitting in front of the computer waiting for transactions to process or screens to refresh.
I can't say the same for AR2016.2 or any of its predecessors. I really want to switch from AR19.12 to AR2016.2 in order to take advantage of some of the great features that AR19 does not have.
But ... AR2016.2 is so, so slow. It takes almost a minute to refresh the To-Do List every time you use it. There is so much wasted screen real estate, such that columns are much narrower that you would want them to be. I have listed a bunch of other issues in previous posts and directly with MYOB staff.
In fact I have brought all these things to the attention of MYOB many times since November 2011 when the AR2011.1 (the first of this SQL version) of this software was released.
Yet despite promises to fix the issues, here we are 5 1/2 years later and I am not seeing much improvement.
We all pay a lot of money for this essential business software, but I don't feel like I'm getting much in return. The "flagship" program AR2016.2 is still unusable in our business because it is so very slow, so I'm not getting any value there. AR19.12 works great, but the only value value I get from my annual subsription is a compliance update. I don't see that that's worth $1,200 per year.
Can someone at MYOB please contact me by email (I am currently overseas)? I emailed Clinton (the most recent person I have discussed this with) about a week ago, but so far I have not received a response.
Thank you,
Ray
