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."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is its decent accounts payable module. It works pretty well."
"Paperless record keeping has made accounting between various store branches easy, and has made it easy to track cash flow and all transactions, which allows for quick determination of profit or loss."
"QuickBooks is very reliable and stable; being cloud-based allows me to access it from anywhere, and it is very useful."
"For most small businesses, QuickBooks Desktop is the best solution."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"One of the aspects I appreciate the most is its remarkable user-friendliness."
"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"Regarding improvements or enhancements in QuickBooks, there is limited customization that QuickBooks Online supports regarding reports. It's too rigid for complex financial analysis."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
"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 main issue we are facing is related to licensing and the need to review invoices and product-wise details for international clients."
"We would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once. For example, I owe company "A" $100, so company "A" is Accounts Payable, and I just want to list it one by one by one. If I want to add more companies, say, company "B" with $200, I can't list Accounts Payable in that entry. I would have to just say, company "A", $100, company "B", $200, Accounts Payable, $300." That's a shortcoming of it."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"Yes, it crashes from time to time. The online version has a lot of bugs, but it is never bad enough to hamper production."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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