Hi to everybody.
As I have not found any similar threads about variations of accounting software, I decided to make a new one. So, let it be the first my post on this forum, but not the last

The goal of this topic is comparing of different software, that helps you to run your business. I think, it will be right to start from what I use...

1. Pastel Accounting (link: http://www.pastel.co.za/)
As I have noticed, it's the most popular software among South-African businessmen.
But for me, it has some minuses, especially after I has to reinstall the whole OS and then get lot's of errors when try to restart my server (I had my server right on my PC, so after reinstalling OS I had to reinstall all software).
So, after this crash, I start to thinking, is there other solutions in accounting software?

2. My mentor from Ukraine has recommended me to try this: Rise SA Business Solutions (link: http://risebiz.co.za/Applications/downloads.php)
The first, that I liked as soon as I saw it - the familiar to me, "1C" interface.
I am also from Ukraine, and I just think of starting business in Pretoria, so I also need to learn all about available accounting software. I am used to "1C" software, which is the most popular in our country. And for me it causes a much less problems and errors, that "Pastel". So, I even interested, would it be somehow useful to others.

On this time, it's all software I know about. So, it would be pleasant, if somebody write another solutions, that can come in handy.
