Usability: Consider the ease of use for you and your staff to efficiently operate the software.

Integration and collaboration: Ensure the software syncs with existing or planned systems and allows easy sharing of details and reports with your accountant or bookkeeper.

Customer support: Look for adequate resources, such as how-to articles, a knowledge base, live customer support, and community forums .
