How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

The financial software with great features

What differentiates Xero from other similar products?
Xero is very easy to navigate and easy to use. Even a non-financial employee can use Xero. The product can integrate seamlessly with a school management system by importing invoices and contacts that are managed in the school management system. Xero has been beneficial because it has allowed me to organize and manage all the financial affairs of the branch I work in without the need for a full time accountant in the branch by allowing me to prepare financial statements, pay invoices and organize dates.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Xero is a really powerful software that eliminated the fear of dealing with bookkeeping and reconciliation and made it quite simple. The accounting process can be effectively handled by anyone, which is quite refreshing. With the software tied to your desired account, you can easily reconcile all incoming and outgoing payments and expenses to a given account. Once set up, you can literally log in right after making a purchase to reconcile your accounts.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The issue of dealing with recurring payments doesn't work as expected, as sometimes you have to do the paperwork manually. Sometimes bank feeds are disconnected for no apparent reason. Could provide graphical charts in addition to numerical reports to make it more visual. There are duplicate reports and the difference is not clear.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Xero is responsive and easy to use for everyone, as it does not require much prior experience. Once connected to the Internet, the user will be able to connect to all his bank accounts, both those through which he wishes to make payments and those to which he wishes to transfer money, and monitor and track them accurately and professionally, as well as track and report on them.

No losses with Xero

What differentiates Xero from other similar products?
We use this software for our company's accounting and bank reconciliation. The software is very easy to use and has nothing to do with other complicated software that has been used in the past. With Xero I can do inventory and invoicing in a few clicks and in a few steps. It is very intuitive and easy to use.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
One feature I like, is that it has mobile access, with the same functions and tools as its web version, so we can perform operations without problems outside the office. Bank reconciliations are done almost automatically, as well as payment collections. The calculation of taxes, expenses and other calculations are done perfectly and without errors.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sometimes it can be a little confusing that the program gives several alternatives to do the same operation. I would also like the system to have an alert to know and know the customers in arrears and late payments, in this way to carry all the information in the same program and not have to access Excel lists for this.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is a software that has allowed us to be much faster and more efficient in the finance department of the company. Our invoices are paid up to date, without delays; the attention given by the support department has always been excellent, answering our doubts, that is why we are satisfied with the service.

- Helps Innovate
