Has enabled smooth cloud integration for tax calculation and improved collaboration across teams
Regarding improvements or enhancements in QuickBooks, there is limited customization that QuickBooks Online supports regarding reports. It's too rigid for complex financial analysis. Data visualization needs improvement, particularly in the dashboard and live monitoring tools. Multi-entity and multi-currency reporting can be cumbersome without a third-party tool. Users experience syncing errors or duplicate transactions with bank feed accuracy. Workflow automation in QuickBooks Online could expand beyond rules for transactions, such as automation approval and recurring journal entries; these are opportunities for improvement.

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

"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"Without QB, we would be a much smaller business."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
"The most valuable feature is its decent accounts payable module. It works pretty well."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its reporting capabilities."
"they even thought about different industries, so that if you're in a service industry, if you're in a retail industry, or you're in construction, they have set up some of the initial out-of-the-box setups, so that you have something that looks kind of like your industry. So for me, I'm an accountant consulting. I do not need an Account called "Dental Equipment." It's flexible to fit your industry."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"For most small businesses, QuickBooks Desktop is the best solution."
"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"In terms of expansion, we stopped using QuickBooks POS at some point because you can’t scale. We couldn’t scale to more than 32 locations when the business grew. The scalability, support and price could be improved."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"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."
"We would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price point is higher because you are paying for a whole year in advance. They recently moved to subscription pricing."
"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."
"They're trying to catch up with more expensive platforms, so they switched to a subscription model, which makes it even more expensive."
"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."
"It is a bit on the high side, but it is affordable."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
