What Wave customer have to say
Alternative to Wave high level comparison
| High Level – Issues with Wave | |
|---|---|
| Wave makes money from selling adverts, that’s your private company data. |  |
| Wave is 8 times slower than Bullet for every 1 Wave invoice you’ll have 8 completed in Bullet. 1 hour in Bullet is 8 in Wave. | |
| Wave is over designed, which is probably why it takes 8-10 seconds to open each page. | |
| No workflows, wave doesn’t have the accounting logic built into it’s workflows leaving a risk for errors. | |
