The application is relatively simple from installation to go live. Unit4 is robust in its capabilities for managing international financials, but you don't have to be a technical wizard to get valuable usage from the software. Unit4 also allows customizations, permitting the customer to build their application from the ground up tailored-made for their needs. Unit4 is a great product in terms of cost and functionality.

What's odd is that the pros of Unit4 could also be considered some of its biggest cons. As I previously mentioned, Unit4 allows a great deal of customization and flexibility in terms of installation, and individual customer builds. This flexibility also poses a threat for new customers to get lost in the weeds and venture too deeply into product customization (leaving them vulnerable to process breaks with standard software updates).

There can be significant setup required initially, but once you are over that major hurdle, creating additional masters is made much less tedious as existing companies and/or subsets of company masters can be copied and modified with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you attend Unit4's Financial Administrator course you get a good understanding of different CODA modules and how to use it for all your company's needs (raising POs, posting documents, matching POs against invoices, setting up the company's financial structure, creating and running reports). I like the fact that once you gain an understanding around how the Masters, Selectors, Presenters, Reports work you can go and tailor everything according to your needs - you don't need developers support (unless you are after Bespoke functionality which is not part of Core CODA.

It would be useful to have access to more business cases around how different CODA modules have been put at work by various companies.
