"Don't look under this rock, it will bite you in the end."

0/5

What do you like best about Maxio?

So far, there is nothing positive I can say about Maxio. And this is 2 years+ as a customer. Why I am still a customer, you may ask? A lot of resources went into the implementation and integration so leaving and turning on a new service isn't just something that happens overnight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maxio?

So far, pretty much everything. My team and I are daily users. The product is unreliable. There are daily miscues with invoicing, there are daily posting errors to QBO. The features don't perform as expected i.e. we have had a fair amount of issue with multi-frequency billing and client onboarding. The support is non-existent (not dramatizing this). And if you are lucky enough to get someone they "send it to a Senior Product Manager" who never does anything nor gets back to you. I now have 4-6 tickets for basic issues / bugs that are going on 6 months old.

GO ELSEWHERE, for your sake! We waste countless hours chasing our tails with Maxio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5

What do you like best about Maxio?

I really enjoy how user-friendly and intuitive the platform is to locate insights about customer information and their billing. I use it pretty frequently, and would feel very comfortable onboarding a new team member to it.

Whenever I have questions or need additional support, I've been super impressed with the Maxio Customer Support team. They respond quickly and thoroughly and are always on-hand for additional follow-up questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maxio?

It would be helpful if it was easier to edit/review the emails sent to customers through the Maxio platform. They seem to be harder to edit in the platform than on other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Automation for SaaS Invoicing and RevRec"

4/5

What do you like best about Maxio?

Powerful tool to automate both invoicing and RevRec for SaaS subscriptions. Once you get the hang of the interface and have a good implementation to fit your business and products, great tool. Quality customer support. Good integration with Stripe for payment application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maxio?

Sometimes too complicated for intended use (ex - a simple JE would fix this but not allowed given the integrity of the transaction versus revenue and invoicing). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're glad to hear that you find Maxio to be a powerful tool for automating invoicing and revenue recognition for SaaS subscriptions.

"User-Friendly Interface, But Invoicing Needs Improvement"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Maxio?

Easy to navigate, located, and review invoices. I have used Maxio as a support team member and a CSM and found it completely adequate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Maxio?

Lack of itemized invoice in the way our company uses the platform. I am lead to believe that although we can export this data it is difficult (and maybe not possible) to have it customer facing in monthly invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Maxio solving and how is that benefiting you?

All of our customers are billed monthly (a small amount quarterly) through Maxio. Maxio does well charging a range of different plan types our company offers. We have subscription, percentage based, hybrid, and special rules (ex. $100 subscription unless fees are higher or vise versa) and Maxio helps support all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
