Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Cougar Mountain Software's newer Denali product is leaving users deeply dissatisfied despite strong support staff.
Both reviewers upgraded from the older CMS Pro version and encountered significant programming errors that undermined core functionality. Users report the software has corrupted financial reports and generated inaccurate P&L and balance sheet data—critical failures for accounting software. The reporting capabilities are weak, and the interface demands technical expertise beyond what typical users should need. One reviewer noted the payroll integration is inadequate, with promised improvements still pending.
The company's support team consistently receives praise for being responsive and helpful, but reviewers express frustration that they shouldn't need frequent support calls to fix basic bugs. Multiple service pack releases suggest ongoing stability issues rather than a polished release. Both users preferred the earlier CMS Pro version, indicating a step backward rather than forward with the upgrade path.

CMS Pro was pretty good but we were encouraged to step-up to Denali. We did and have regretted it ever since. It s riddled with programming errors that you find after it has trashed your P and L and Balance sheet. The reports are inadequate and you have t be a CPA and programmer to navigate it. Sales and service people are good to work with which is nice but I would rather have a competent program.

Previously used their CMS Pro software and loved it, the new version (Denali), not so much. The software has multiple issues most of which are programming errors that they fix with multiple service packs. The good thing is that the support people are pretty good to deal with...the bad is you will have to deal with them. The current program does not have a good payroll interface. I understand a payroll solution is in the works.
