Intuitive, accessible through online, and well-known
The internet version is less user-friendly than the desktop version. The desktop version is their flagship, whereas the online version is considerably different, requiring all new learning. Despite its flaws, it is the best accounting software to use. I would like to see them take the desktop version and put it in the cloud, from which you can access it. However, because they have it drastically different, knowing how QuickBooks online works is an entirely new learning experience. That is the most serious issue. It's the equivalent of having to learn two programs. If they took their flagship desktop version which is awesome, and put that on the cloud and eliminated what is now known as QBO, that would be a wonderful thing. The desktop version is intuitive and makes sense. The users that only know QBO would also easily adapt to the desktop version. I don't know why they went in such a drastic direction with QBO.
