Feedback on analytics and new homepage design
Change is good so long as it improves the users experience. I have had a reasonable look at the new analytics, it's not something I am likely to use as it's a bit overwhelming for anyone who doesn't know how to use the ratio's etc. I personally prefer to use reports to compile relative data - as this gives me a deeper insight into what is included in these ratio's. Analytics is very slow. The user needs more control over the forecasting - I felt the results from the trial I had completed didn't return a reasonable forecast.I am sure in time, I will get used to the new design, however at first glance, it's very noisy! Without drilling deeper, it's really difficult to give this appropriate feedback - time will tell, but I hope we haven't lost functionality without first consulting with the community who pay for and use Xero.

I agree with Kamahl Fox on this - far too noisy and not at all useful for a small business with low transactional volume. Also completely inappropriate for the many employees who are only using Xero for one or two specific roles. For example,someone who simply processes invoicing (those that haven't changed vocations since that changed) and bank reconciliations is going to be totally overwhelmed with the barrage of irrelevant boxes full of text and diagrams.
It seems that the concepts for these 'upgrades' are coming from people who don't actually use the software in a day-to-day functional manner. More likely the ideas come from accountants or financial planners who are only interested in the overview of historical transactions.
Feels like an attempt to justify the inflated price structure and make things look like we're getting more than we actually are.
