Strengths
- Very strong payroll (Swissdec) at a small price
- Runs offline, very stable, modest system requirements

Points to consider
- Smaller footprint and community in German-speaking Switzerland
- Classic interface, no modern cloud experience
- Module logic: how the parts interact takes some learning
