Dext Reviews & Product Details

I find Dext significantly reduces processing time with its automation, which contributes heavily to accuracy and efficiency. The system's learning capability makes adapting to each client's needs intuitive and easy. I appreciate that Dext learns from client usage and suggests common items, enhancing our workflow. The direct integration with Xero is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that certain features can trip over themselves, especially since VAT rules can be edited in a few places, and without a keen eye, time can be wasted with workarounds rather than digging into where the problem may lie deeper within client settings. Also, we have found the line extraction being utilized by clients when an accountancy practice pays for the subscription to be an odd quirk. I think line extraction limits should be controlled by the practice for individual clients to ensure limits aren't breached and costs aren't incurred unexpectedly.

Dext has completely transformed how we handle bookkeeping for our clients. The automated data extraction is brilliant – it accurately pulls out supplier, date, amount and VAT details from receipts and invoices, cutting down data entry significantly. The mobile app makes it incredibly easy for clients to snap and submit receipts on the go, so we're no longer chasing paperwork at month-end. Integration with Xero/QuickBooks is seamless, and items sync across almost instantly once approved. The line-item extraction and supplier memory also get smarter over time, saving even more manual checking. Overall, it's saved our team hours every week and made the whole process far more accurate and less stressful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The OCR occasionally misreads figures on poor-quality or handwritten receipts, so a manual double-check is still needed now and then. Categorisation rules can also take a bit of trial and error to set up properly for each client, and editing them in bulk isn't always straightforward. Support response times have been a bit slower than we'd like when we've hit an issue that needs troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Dext to manage and collect receipts and invoices, which is essential for both self-employed and limited companies. It provides an easy-to-use platform that helps in correctly claiming VAT. The AI information-gathering features save me time in everyday bookkeeping tasks and help me stay up to date. The platform is easy to manage for younger, tech-savvy self-employed customers due to its features compatible with Making Tax Digital (MTD). I particularly like the autofill features, autopublishing, and the receipt request feature on Xero. These save me a lot of time by eliminating the need to manually fill out emails for specific invoices, and they easily highlight missing information so I can focus on what's important, avoiding the 'faffy stuff'. The initial setup was really easy for me as Gen Z, and I find Dext very useful, with no other software solution currently matching it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a couple of features in Dext that don't work as well as I'd hoped, like the cost connections. I've spoken to Dext and the issues aren't on their side, but these were a bit of a selling point for my clients, and they don't work. The new two-factor authentication and the different country login process mean that for most, we can't even log in, and for others, they require weekly codes to be entered. I was hoping to set them up and forget about them, getting the invoices as they were raised without having to poke my clients, which isn't possible and is a big shame. I have to rely on them sending them when they receive them. I tried to set up auto-forwarding on emails to fix this, but mail needs to be running when the email is received, which also doesn't work. Additionally, I want to have multiple rules for one contact, and the AI tool was really hard to use as it's text format rather than if X then do Y. The initial setup was easy for me as Gen Z, but my older colleagues found it really hard to pick up and use; it wasn't logical to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the simplicity of Dext, both for myself and my clients. Its ease of use ensures that clients engage with it rather than avoiding it, which saves me time and reduces paperwork. It captures a lot of important details, helping us maintain complete records for bookkeeping and year-end financial reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that Dext could improve on supplier name pulling and recognizing when there's more than one bill in an upload. It's also not always able to extrapolate the information detailing what the bill is for, and sometimes doesn't capture if a bill is not addressed to the name of the client. I think more AI capabilities would really help with these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ability to make things more efficient using technology. Dext allows us to have more real-time bookkeeping and ensures that the information is always up to date. It's also great for enabling our staff to easily manage purchases by just taking a picture, eliminating the hassle of paper receipts. Moreover, the technology Dext uses makes our life as bookkeepers so much better by not missing data and making it easy for clients to get their information to us. I appreciate that Dext is on the cutting edge, always up to date, and pushing further into the future. It's what I recommend to my clients as the best money they’ll spend every month for their accounting needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything about DEXT- It's our go to OCR software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It makes purchase and sale invoice extraction very easy. It cuts down the time needed to upload records and you dont have to lose any details. The interface is very easy to navigate and everything is layed out in a way that makes sense. Mainly use it as an intergration to xero but have used it for QBO and Sage and it works well! The AI assist is a great feature and i have helped a client set it up and its cut their bookeeping time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't realy anything i dislike really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a bookkeeper, I love working with Dext because it makes capturing, organizing, and processing receipts and invoices so much easier. It saves me time, reduces manual data entry, and helps keep my clients’ financial records accurate and up to date while being a very user-friendly platform that is easy to onboard clients with Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there were features that felt like they were missing (i.e. custom flag colours/labels), however within time/submitting feature requests in Dext many if not all of the desired features myself and my fellow bookeeping team members submitted requests for have since been added into the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Dext is how easily it captures receipts and invoices, extracts the information, and syncs everything with QuickBooks. It saves time, reduces manual data entry, and keeps supporting documents organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dext can sometimes extract transaction details incorrectly, so the information still needs to be reviewed before publishing. It can also be difficult to identify duplicate documents, and the subscription cost may be high for smaller businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dext is a feature-rich product compared with other products of its kind. The user interface is easy to navigate, and the bulk feature is very handy. The integration with banks and accounting software makes it seamless to get data into it.

I find the quality of the scans, and the way it reads tax rates, values, and other pertinent information, to be class-leading; it consistently outperforms others. The pricing structure is tiered and, in my experience, I pass it on to clients and they are more than happy to pay for it, as they much prefer it to the alternatives.

I have used Dext for six years now, and each account manager I have worked with has been very hands-on and has helped me out when required. Whether that’s at shows or on a call, the support is always there. Recently, we’ve been very impressed with the new AI feature, and it has made over 1,000 suggestions to our client base, of which over 900 have been implemented.

I’m finding Dext Solo a little clunky at the moment, so I’ll need to go through another session to understand how to get the best out of it and how my clients use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've found Dext to be a valuable addition to our bookkeeping processes. The receipt capture is straightforward and easy for clients to use, whether uploading via the mobile app, email or desktop, and the data extraction is generally accurate, saving a significant amount of manual data entry.

The onboarding process is simple and intuitive, making it quick to get both staff and clients up and running. The integration with accounting software also works well, helping to keep records up to date and reducing the amount of paperwork clients need to retain.

In terms of performance, Dext is generally reliable and processes documents quickly, although there can occasionally be delays during busier periods. The main downside is the pricing, which we find is on the high side; however that being said we find Dext Solo pricing to be very competitve.

Overall, Dext is an easy-to-use, efficient platform that has improved our bookkeeping workflows and made receipt management much simpler for both our team and our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main area we feel could be improved is the pricing structure, which can become quite expensive as the number of clients or users increases.While the data extraction is generally very good, there are occasions where supplier details or VAT information require manual correction.
