## Reviews

### "Activity HD" — 5.0/5

> **Barbara** | *5 October 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We are a healthcare facility that uses Electronic Medical Records and Practice Management Software.  Activity HD imports data from our EMR software into our accounting program in seconds every month.  There is nothing I have needed that it does not do, and dozens of things it does that never dreamed a software could do\!  I have worked 45 years in the accounting field and used many different accounting softwares, but this is by far the best ever in every way. There is nothing I have needed that it can not do.
> 
> **Cons**: The things that make it so great and so flexible are also the things that make learning it different from other software.  If you expect the same "old software" this is not for you.  Because of this, the first couple of weeks it was a little overwhelming but now looking back I can't remember why.  Twenty-one months into it's use, I have absolutely no regrets about our choice.
> 
> Reconciling a 50 page bank statement used to take days - now it can be done in an hour.  We write a minimum of 200 checks a month to one time vendors every month.  This used to take 1 1/2 days a month, now it takes literally five minutes (less if my printer was faster). These are the most professional people I have ever worked with.  They are always accessible.  They do what the say.  They deliver what they promise and more. They took the time to learn my business needs and suggest ways the software can work for us that I never even dreamed could be possible.  Activity HD is like a living, breathing thing that changes and grows to meet changing needs.  I have never felt "locked in" to a product that is not flexible and can't keep up. This have been, and continues to be, a great experience. The entire support team has a background in accounting and understand.  There are no support levels - you get a "Level 3" every time any one them pick up the phone.  The implementation experts are just that - experts.  They prepare you and stick with you until they decide it time to be turned over to support.  I highly recommend Activity HD and nQativ to anyone.

### "Excellent for company with complex needs" — 5.0/5

> **Clair** | *12 December 2024* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Extremely customizable product and exceptional customer service team. Personalized service, truly helpful and thoughtful people on their team. If they don't know how to fix something, they will work to figure it out.
> 
> **Cons**: The product is not as snazzy looking as some other platforms, but the functionality makes up for that. Sometimes the process to gather or report information can be a little clunky, but once you learn some basic rules it becomes more intuitive.
> 
> Great\! We are an opera company with two different union relationships and a ton of complicated pay codes and segments. Activity HD has been perfect for our needs.

### "Customer Support is outstanding" — 3.0/5

> **Rizzalie** | *11 January 2017*
> 
> Customer support is outstanding, however, there are a lot of features that is not possible in the system especially integration. There is other software who does better which is cheaper.

### "ActivityHD Ranks Among the Best\!" — 5.0/5

> **Kevin** | *12 December 2024* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like the availability and promptness of the support that is offered.  Anytime we have an issue I can always depend on it being resolved quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: My biggest issue with ActivityHD is that I am constantly getting disconnected.  I don't know if that is an issue with our local servers or an issue with ActivityHD.  But it is very frustrating when you are in the middle of something and you get disconnected from the program.
> 
> My overall experience with ActivityHD has been positive.  I have used various programs throughout my career including SAP, IFS, \&amp; JDEdwards.  I would rank ActivityHD up there with them all for functionality and in some areas it is superior.

### "Payroll Administrator" — 5.0/5

> **Cindy** | *12 December 2024* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Strong supporting Team.  The software is easy to navigate when you understand it.
> 
> **Cons**: The configuration behind the scenes can be difficult to understand and I hope to gain more knowledge to decode it.
> 
> Great relationship with the software and the team.
