It's also leaves a good trail to see when bills were created, who by, if anything has been changed and when. It gets regularly updated and easy to link up bank feeds > > **Cons**: It's a little bit pricey, and the payroll software (paid extra) isn't as good as other payroll software > > Definitely recommend, so easy to use for bookkeeping needs. Clearly laid out and good to use for multiple users on the same accounts ----- ### "Great product, even if a little on the pricey side" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 March 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy invoice creation and invoice. Clear and customisable dashboard. And good customer support with fast response times. > > **Cons**: It's a little on the more expensive side requiring a more advanced plan for more features like unlimited invoices ----- ### "Good payroll software" — 5.0/5 > **Nina** | *12 March 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use it from a payroll perspective but I know it has lost of other functionality. It is very easy to use from adding employee data to running reports. > > **Cons**: I think the holiday tool could be better. It isn't easy to calculate holiday in the same way as HR software. > > I am very happy with Xero, it is simple to use and very user friendly. The dashboard is very intuitive and I have never have any issues. ----- ### "Xero: user-friendly and a great tool all round" — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *20 June 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The option to tailor the system exactly to the needs of our team, the clear and well laid out user interface and the direct connection with the bank accounts, making reconciliations quick and easy. Minimal training was required to get people to the standard needed for basic day to day tasks. > > **Cons**: Nothing to note\! All team members are very happy with this system and are really comfortable using it. > > The transition was smooth from our former system and has been very straight forward since we started using it. ----- ### "Limited capability" — 2.0/5 > **Paul** | *25 June 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good for small businesses. Simple to use any can be used on any device. Modern interface and great reporting. Just wish it could do a little more. > > **Cons**: However, if you have to manage sales orders you need additional software as you can only raise quotes then invoices. This then creates a whole load of integration issues. The support is not there with either the other supplier who blames Xero or Xero who blame the 3rd party supplier. A minefield. > > I really like it however not being able to manage sales orders is a huge issue for my business. You would think this would be a simple fix that would significantly increase the penetration of the product as its the way forward. ----- Page: 1 / 132\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/169561/xero?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/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
