What differentiates Xero from other similar products?

It is a tool that in companies fulfills financial control functions in companies, it works quite well if what you are looking for is to control and have organized two payments and invoicing in real time, it is a tool mostly used by accountants but I could say that it is quite versatile

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like it because it is a good accounting system but at the same time it is quite functional when this type of system is required for calculations in general, for accounting professionals it is quite good but for those in sales who manage payment or banking processes it is very good

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is a tool that does not only focus on a single type of industry, it can be used without problem if you are in administrative or accounting positions, so I have no problems

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is a tool that allows the actions within it to be quite easy to understand, I have no complaints about this tool and on the contrary it has worked for me quite a lot
