We have had to keep Quickbooks
After a several month long decision process we felt confident moving forward with Palladium but once we went live with the system, we felt everything we had been promised was a lie. We have had to keep Quickbooks because the accounting module could only meet half of our financial needs. On the distribution side, tasks that use to be done by the press of a button, now take 3-4 steps. We are disappointed and looking to move off the system as soon as possible.
Palladium contains errors within itself
Palladium is a truly full ERP that contains all the needed modules even if it gives false results occassionally. I just wish those in charge could solve the problems when contacted. They never do.
Pros
It has all modules needed for most businesses as part of its core.
Cons
It contains errors within itself. E.g. My Stock Count, Inventory by Location report and Inventory Quantity reports all give different results for the same day. There are several other errors within the system that one only discovers after basing heavy decisions on it.
You purchase Palladium Accounting but from there you are on your own
Basic accounting requirements are not available such as notes to debtor accounts, debtor statements that do not balance, etc. The support team is unable to attend to queries and always has to come back to you with a solution which they never do. Palladium support has a ‘no care’ attitude and there is no escalation options. You purchase Palladium Accounting but from there you are on your own. Palladium Accounting is not a software that is recommended.
Pros
Once we can get support and a team that actually knows their software and how to deal with customer queries, it would a pleasant surprise. Although Palladium Accounting is functional it is not without short comings, but the unwillingness to attend to these short comings is completely unprofessional.
Cons
Details of transactions are not available on the general ledger - just Palladium reference numbers are displayed. The customer statements are incorrect and these can not be sent to customers. Collection notes can't be displayed in a report. The information extracted in reports are insufficient and too limited for management purposes. The cost matrix just displays totals against a line item which means nothing when sitting in a management meeting. The debtors age analysis is incorrect due to sales orders. Not able to capture management notes and extract into reports. Not a popular software and therefore no integration with other applications such as Dext, AutoEntry, T-sheets, etc. which causes unnecessary manual input and time delays. Account sets and journals sets are complex and difficult to reconcile. Complex accrual system (GRV's) and causes the Cost of Sale accounts to be messy.
