Easy way integrate Email Accounting Software

The integration of openathense was seamless, it works well for us because we use ADFS as our auth provider instead of relying upon third party software which made things even easier! There are some features that would be better if they were available in certain browsers (Safari being one). It's not perfect but I don't think there will ever really by an end all answer here either - every organisation has different needs so having something like this out there makes sense from my perspective at…

Pros
  • Simple signup process
  • Easy management interface.
  • Integration is easy via REST API or SOAP service endpoints
Cons
  • User experience improvements
  • Mobile app

Integration with legacy ticketing system

I like that it integrates very well into our existing infrastructure, so there are few customizations needed for other applications as opposed to having an entirely new one built from scratch which would be more costly in time & money. The support team can take some getting used too - we had issues when trying out something simple at first but then were unable to resolve them after calling (which doesn't help). Also their implementation of SSO was not working properly until they made changes…

Pros
  • Very user friendly interface intuitive layout; also responsive technical staff who respond quickly whenever need arises.
  • Great customer service provided via email communication directly within system itself where issue(s) may occur rather than going back thru ticket queues only upon request
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Great User Management & Security Features for the Enterprise

In general, I like that it integrates seamlessly into our Active Directory so we don't have many issues logging in as an application user vs having them log out of their AD account for each app they use (Eg., Salesforce). Also has great reporting capabilities through Excel/PowerBI which allows us easy access by multiple people within my team without requiring additional software installs. Some features are lacking such as more robust security settings options but most can be configured fairly

Pros
  • Security measures help keep data protected if necessary; however configuration still needs minor adjustments across systems before fully working.
  • User friendly interface helps new staff members find ways around quickly even when there's been no previous guidance or information given regarding how specific tools function exactly
Cons
  • There are troubles

This is THE open source alternative to any commercial solution

The features are very flexible, it can be used for all kinds of projects (internal / external). It's easy enough that even users without technical expertise in IT systems could use this software effectively! We have been using OA since 2015 - we were looking at other alternatives but found no solutions as good nor simple than ours yet complex ones would cost much more money so our choice was clear from day one :O) Our experience has shown us how great they support their customers! They provide

Pros
  • High quality user interface
  • Easy to install + maintain
  • Very stable environment with many updates every year.
  • Great documentation available online :)
Cons
  • I don't really have any dislikes about this, everything is just fine
