CONS OF USING TALLY
CONS OF USING TALLY
Not User-Friendly: Tally
fails to be an user friendly software. It does not help you use it with ease.
It is of course a simple software but not everyone can grasp the knowledge of
accounting soon after installing. Hence it fails to guide its users in a simple
way on how to use it when you do not know have much knowledge about accounting.

Single window software: It does not allow to open the same transaction
screen from multiple computers. Therefore it becomes time consuming unlike
other software that allows you to work on more than one ledger at a time. Tally
allows only one ledger at a time which makes it difficult for the user to view other
things in it at once.
No Useful Upgrades: They
have brought out new versions of Tally but the improvement has been bare
minimum. There was Tally 4.5 and till Tally 9 ERP but the difference
is hardly noticeable. And in case you have got yourself the old Tally
then you cannot improve it with new features that the latest version has, which
is one of the biggest drawbacks of this software. You are stuck with one kind
of tally as the developers does not care to check on the old existing Tally
that are still being used. However they have now made it possible to move from
7.2 to 9 and it is a good start.
Is not ideal for Multi-branch: In case you have multiple branches, Tally becomes way too
expensive to run. You will have to invest in Servers and LAN bundled with
Tally.net. Further more the sync is not real-time. It needs manual sync and the
data is not updated if the accountant is not available in any of the branches
to sync manually.
Not Flexible: The default setting button is not provided.
In case you want to change the setting after the configuration settings are
done. You have to restart and delete all the ledgers and start again from the
beginning. Once you have created the journal voucher it is not possible to
make changes in it. In Tally ERP once you have set the level of the items
in the inventory you cannot set the level once again after the reorder.
This makes it very rigid and difficult to use.
No Central Support: The
support system of this software is still lagging behind and that makes it difficult
for the users to find support when there is any issue with the software. It
makes the users find even more difficult in operating it as there are no good
supports from the other side to help them out with the training on how to use
it.
Low Security: You
have to be very careful with the password as well. Once you lose or forget the
user password the retrieving of data is very difficult and quite time
consuming. Also there is a alarming possibility of losing the data in case of a
virus or hard disk crash.
No Customization: Customization is very limited. When they customize
their product for you, you do not get the complete package and it makes it even
more difficult for you to work with as you pay the price but then you have to
settle for minimum. http://www.starisales.com/Account
Bad Integration of Invoicing Modules: Tally does not have any modules that you can call as an
extra feature that results automatically when using a feature that already
exists independently. So it does not provide account payable, receivable, etc;
unlike quick book and other software.
Risk of Data Loss and intrusion: As it is an offline software therefore it has no backup
in case your system crash or some mishap takes place. Therefore you have to
separately back up your data which gives birth to extra work.
