Provides timely financial insights and supports growth with some room to streamline complexity
We find QuickBooks' budget generation feature valuable but haven't really utilized that as much as we'd want to. It's something that we plan on utilizing next year. It helps save money and time, though I can't speak to specific amounts as I would be really guessing. We use the on-premise version of QuickBooks. We have utilized the third-party application synchronization. An example of a third party that QuickBooks integrates well with is Avalara AvaTax. On a scale of 1-10, I rate QuickBooks a 7.

Solution for quoting customers, but could be faster
We use this solution internally mostly for quoting for customers. There are over 10,000 employees in my organization.  There are other modules that we use to do everything, like SteelBrick, but the UI is clunky. It could be the way the solution was implemented. The solution is a little bit slow…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Valuable features include ease of use, compatibility with Windows, and the easily customizable platform."
"QuickBooks is very reliable and stable; being cloud-based allows me to access it from anywhere, and it is very useful."
"QuickBooks is easy to use because a normal person can also do accounting, bookkeeping, and everything."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"The most valuable feature is its decent accounts payable module. It works pretty well."
"The main benefits I have seen from QuickBooks are that it helps our partners do their business impactfully with the help of QuickBooks Online."
"The solution is stable."
"This solution allows us to outline exactly what data, financial statements, inventory, job costing/budgeting, AP/AR, wage and hour, tax planning/forecasting, or information needed to allow owners and management to make educated business decisions regarding efficient and effective management of business operations, cash management, marketing/sales force management, asset purchases, etc."
"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"The ability to integrate outside apps is lacking (compared to the online versions) and ability to download bank transactions does not work as well as it should."
"The only concern that I've always had, and it's been a consistent issue that I've heard from others, which is when a file is exported from QuickBooks Desktop and imported into QuickBooks Online, there are accounts that are inactivated or deleted and duplicated. I don't know if it's a bug in the system or what it is, but there's the chart of accounts and the issue is always in the chart of accounts."
"The search functionality in the solution has shortcomings that can be improved in almost every area of the solution."
"Yes, it crashes from time to time. The online version has a lot of bugs, but it is never bad enough to hamper production."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"We would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"The customer response team is slow and sometimes causes the user to have a loss."
"The reporting in QuickBooks is terrible and there's no flexibility in it. It only has standard reports that you can modify slightly."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a bit on the high side, but it is affordable."
"They're trying to catch up with more expensive platforms, so they switched to a subscription model, which makes it even more expensive."
"Regarding pricing, QuickBooks needs to make its point-of-sale system more affordable to onboard more small businesses. Many retail stores need a retail ERP, and QuickBooks POS is a good option. The pricing is a barrier for some businesses. If QuickBooks offered a more affordable package, it would be easier for businesses to choose QuickBooks POS and get the benefits of a retail ERP. It also gives you discounts."
"When I first started, the only other options were the very expensive programs. QuickBooks Desktop you can find anywhere between $200 and $300 on Amazon or Costco."
"QuickBooks is an amazingly priced solution since it's a very cheap product, making it so good for small organizations since you can get a lot out of it without paying a large amount."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"The price point is higher because you are paying for a whole year in advance. They recently moved to subscription pricing."
"It is relatively expensive."
