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

"There are valuable security features including software access security (login password), data backup (getting all transactions and data from the previous bookkeeper), and an audit trail that is available when changes are questioned."
"Without QB, we would be a much smaller business."
"One of the aspects I appreciate the most is its remarkable user-friendliness."
"QuickBooks Desktop is the perfect software program for a startup company to begin keeping track of its accounts, to work with banks, and to present financials to its CPAs so that they can get their taxes done."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."

"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"The solution's import function can be quite complex and not as smooth. Importing data is a more complex process compared to the straightforward export feature."
"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."
"I would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"As of right now, you cannot edit secondary lists in a batch feature."
"Regarding improvements or enhancements in QuickBooks, there is limited customization that QuickBooks Online supports regarding reports. It's too rigid for complex financial analysis."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"The main issue we are facing is related to licensing and the need to review invoices and product-wise details for international clients."
"The search functionality in the solution has shortcomings that can be improved in almost every area of the solution."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
"The solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"It is relatively expensive."
"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."
