"One Stop Accounting"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

In construction, capturing data from the field to the office is vital. With the Payroll module integrating with Procore and the HR module tracking all personnel items (i.e. training, drug screen results, injuries etc) we can truly pull any report or information with a few key strokes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

When using Manual Credit Card Payment Entry, the system automatically takes any discount indicated even if I'm paying after the due date and the discount is not valid. I have to manually enter a zero, and then re-enter the total invoice amount to get it fully paid. This is time consuming when paying many invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Full Spectrum"
4/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

I moved to Spectrum from Timberline, and from an accounting point of view, the difference is leaps and bounds. There are certain things that are more constraining in Spectrum than in Timberline, but overall I would prefer a more rigid program that actually works like it's supposed to, as opposed to a program that frequently decides that it doesn't NEED to post things properly to the GL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

I dislike that I have to exit completely out of an invoice entry function if I have made an error with the vendor or invoice number (something that is extremely easy to do when you are processing higher volumes). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good construction based accounting software"
4/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

I appreciate how the software is constantly being improved upon and that the developers take into consideration the feed back of the users. I have had a great relationship with the sales people and they are quick to respond with any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

The program has a steep learning curve, it at times doesn't seem to be that intuitive and until you have learnt the unique quirks of the program it can be difficult to get the information you wanted. I have not been overly impressed with the training at times as it seems like they are just reading from a tutorial and not actually well versed in the programs usage. I have had better success using the tutorials myself and not bothering with the actual training,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful software package"
5/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

The software is user friendly. There are help menus if you're unsure how to enter something or which report options to select. One of the nice features is the ability to save your selections so you don't have to remember the details of each report you run. Get the report the way you want, set the defaults and move on. The program is constantly updated. Not just with the latest tax tables, but with additional features. Document imaging is worth it's weight in gold. We hardly print any reports. They're all archived in the system. Very handy for someone like myself who works from home at odd hours! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

My only dislike is that the program can get pricey. There's a certain fee for the core module and additional fees for other modules that are quite necessary to efficiently operate the business. Then there are additional modules that aren't necessary, but definitely cost or time-saving that work well with the core modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Accounting Construction Software"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Spectrum?

Great software for analyzing data and trends while still being pretty easy to use. The ability to create custom infolink reports enable you to create virtually report using the data you have in Spectrum that will auto refresh with just one click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

I wish there was a way to sort the canned Spectrum reports a bit easier. I am quite comfortable using infolink, so it is easy for me to create a quick variation of the Spectrum reports, formatted the way I want it to look. But unless you have knowledge of infolink, there is no way to easily rearrange Spectrum reports to show the data in the way you want it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spectrum?

The web-based application that allows you to have multiple tabs open. Very helpful when in the middle of a process and someone has a question you don't have to get out of your work. User friendly and has the ability for our IT group to write and implement specific reports for our organization using crystal reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spectrum?

The lack of a good quality project management module without having to use an outside source. Some of the aspects do not work in Chrome or vice versa in Explorer. Other than that, no complaints! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
