MYOB Anmeldelser 397

MYOB solo... dont get yourself caught. $10 for first year then $100 for year 2, fail to cancel less than 10 days out and your stuck for another year. So easy to sign up, very hard to cancel. Typical of those cheap entry deals.

I have ceased my business but still needed MYOB only to receive payments for a few outstanding invoices. After a few months of keeping my account like this, paying $150 every month felt extremely wasteful.

I requested to downgrade to MYOB Lite and was told the downgrade was done and that the migration team would contact me. I was also clearly reassured that I would not be charged $150 again.

I followed the migration team’s instructions to back up my MYOB file, only to be told later that my file was too large and that the allowed backup size was unrealistically small. This was never explained upfront.

As a result, I ended up being charged for BOTH plans. I submitted complaints through MYOB’s online system but never received a response.

Then I was charged again for BOTH plans.

This feels like a complete trap. If you try to downgrade, you end up paying double. There is no proper support and no accountability.

I will never use MYOB again and will never recommend it to anyone. No surprise that MYOB is losing customers to Xero.

It took me an hour on hold as now all their call centers are offshore, got transferred 4 times because no one seemed to know what was going on! Then found out the cost of the product I was looking at was increasing next month and to swap products by system would be down for a week...this company is useless

Absolutely terrible customer service

MYOB is an absolute SHAM product, the worst customer service that is only available in another foreign country. they should NOT be allowed to conduct business.

Pity there isn't an option for zero stars. For four weeks I have persisted on trying to use MYOB. its not that the product is terrible, but rather when something goes wrong (and it frequently does) then to reach their support you will be stuck on hold for at least 3 hours. They might be able to help you, but more likely they will transfer you through at least 4 different departments and finally they say they will organise someone to call you back within 3-4 business days. To bad if there is a problem on a Thursday or Friday. Their biggest hurdle is there software is locked down from sending out multiple invoices. On your first day you will be allowed to send 2 invoices and then you will need to contact support to have them raise the limit. A month later you can send 10 invoices a day. Then you will need to call support again. This product is probably the reason many small businesses have failed. Avoid it like the plague. Xero, Odoo or quickbooks are probably far better options. Even if your accountant recommends it, avoid it like the plague.

Very bad software and a greedy company.

Used MYOB for about 8 years, their software is very unintuitive and hard to use, despite multiple big updates. Had many instances of technical errors, which caused data loss and a lot of our manual labour to fix the problems. No compensation, no recourse.

Furthermore, we have migrated to Xero and stopped using their software for a few months. They refused to refund the monthly fee, which was directly debited from our bank account, saying that it's our responsibility to stop the plan from renewing. But we've completely stopped using MYOB during these months. Once your money is in their pocket, you will never get it back, no matter how bad their service and product is.

Software has many limiation, they just attract you signed up free trial, when you want to cancel, they taking time accept request wait until finish 14days. After that answer like you have requested after 14days so refund possible.

Trying to cancel a subscription is extremely difficult.
I signed up for a MYOB Business Lite subscription on a weekend (31/01) and called the following Monday to cancel as the product I paid for was not suitable for my business without outlaying more money to upgrade. You cannot cancel online and are forced to contact them by phone, only to spend a good 20mins on hold before someone answers. The person I spoke with advised me that my account would be cancelled and I would receive an email from the billing team confirming a refund. Despite this, my credit card was still charged six days later. Called again today 10/02 only to be told that there was no reference to my call on the 02/02 and my subscription was active until 31/12 and if I wanted a refund I needed to do it via the website. This information was not provided to me on my first call. When you do log a support request, there is no record of it, no email, nothing, so you will be lucky to get any kind of response.

I have been trying to change the administrator of my companies for weeks. Each time I send an email to support, I receive no reply and then a few days later an email saying 'case was closed on your request'. Very frustrating since I can't even cancel the subscription or anything without changing the administrator.

Currently trying to cancel my subscription and been on the call for 15 minutes so far. For such a simple thing I have been asked so many questions as to why I want to cancel and have said "please just cancel my subscription" at least 12 times. Now put on hold for 8 minutes while they process it. Why is there no function online in my account to cancel? This function exists with any streaming service or many other companies that literally have millions of customers? Very easy to take your money but not so easy to stop it!!

The representative that looked after me was excellent, she was professional and easy to follow and had my case in hand of helping me with migrating of an existing MYOB account to another.
A tremendous help as there had been a few glitches prior to her picking up my case

Absolute useless support, terrible API functionality & scummy cancellation tactics.

MYOB has some of the worst support I’ve dealt with. Response times are terrible, issues rarely get resolved properly, and you’re bounced around without anyone taking ownership.

The API functionality is extremely limited for a product at this price point, basic things you’d expect to automate are either impossible or half-baked, which makes it painful to integrate with modern tools.

On top of that, the cancellation process is downright scummy. You’re forced to call to cancel, then sit on hold for 20+ minutes just to get out. No simple online cancellation, clearly by design.

Would not recommend if you value your time, decent support, or proper automation.

I found MYOB to be intuitive and easy to use. The platform itself works well and is user-friendly for day-to-day accounting tasks.

However, the cancellation process is extremely frustrating. My subscription was quickly and easily created online, yet I was informed I must call to cancel. This creates an unnecessary barrier to cancellation and is inconsistent with the way the service was set up. After cancellation via phone, I then had to log a support ticket to request a refund. Absolute joke!

A product that is simple to sign up for should be just as simple to cancel and request a refund. While the software is good, the cancellation process significantly detracts from the overall experience.

The software is ok - I was a light user your mileage may vary. Cancellation experience is terrible, clicking the cancellation button opens a dialogue window asking you to call - only open mon-friday 9am-5pm competitiors allow online cancellation as with most SaaS products - they claim it is for security reasons whn clearly just a retention tactic. Attempted to cancel on Friday expecting it to be an online experience mindful that my billing period fell due on Sunday unfortunately this happened after 5pm Melbourne time so was unable to complete. Called first thing Monday morning was on hold for 10m plus before getting a call back option, call back came explained i wanted to cancel was transferred to collections informed i had to pay the outstanding monthly invoice that had fallen due on Sunday, i argued that i wanted this month refunding given circumstances was told it had to be paid i agreed but said i would like to escalate this was told not possible and to ask cancellations. The chap said he could transfer me to cancellations would i be happy with a 10 minute wait was transferred held for approx 7minutes and phone line went dead so have to jump on the hampster wheel again. Given this process is purely a desperate attempt to retain customers through lower price offers at cancellation (this was admitted as much by the person in collections) i would never use this company again. Use Xero better produxt online 24/7 cancellation.

Have been a MYOB user for many years using different packages, I'm now using Essentials which morphed into Business, I am unable to post a credit not matter which way I try. MYOB has admitted there is a software problem. I'm still being charged for a program I cant use to complete transaction allocations and now I've been sent a email stating fees are going up. I've spent days trying to reconcile accounts and the offshore help team have no clue. Wouldn't recommend MYOB to my clients.

Tech support, appalling. Hours on the phone to be put on hold, spoken to, put on hold - again and again

Apparent "experts" can't guide to the basics (setting up proforma greeting). Don't get me started on the rest of lacking support.

Paul should be embarrassed running a sub par system whereby online support recommend an accountant - to 3 qualified accountants.

Embarrassing

Trying to cancel a MYOB subscription is near impossible. Originally canceles via their website but that faiped upon more charges being made we contacted MYOB which after a long wait on hold to speak to someone we were then made to frel like we were liars and told they would investigate only to be told via email no cancellation was recieved and they would only recognise the cacellation being madd from that date on contact meaning we will be charged again. Try to call again to confirm all accounts cancelled only be on hold for ovwr 40 minutes. Atrocious customer service and not the best on the market thats fir sure, obviously just trying to get as money as they can for their crappy software. Use another service if you can we had to use it due to our accountant unfortunately.

set up a trial. Wouldn't access anything. 6 different places to log in an nowhere could i set up the bookkeeping or link bank accounts. Also didn't even set up my business as yet but it allocated me some crap company called FLOWERS INCORPORATED. WTF. What a joke. Back to Xero.

Reasonable software, disgusting customer service. You pick a product they overcharge you and even when you have a screenshot of the original offer they make all excuses under the sun not to honor it. I have so far had 7 different excuses but NONE OF THEM ARE SUFFICIENT yet im still out of pocket. If they don't sort in next week I'll be canceling and going with Xero
Update... have already emailed suggested email, heard nothing, nothing solved.
