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

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"QuickBooks is very reliable and stable; being cloud-based allows me to access it from anywhere, and it is very useful."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"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."
"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."
"One of the aspects I appreciate the most is its remarkable user-friendliness."
"QuickBooks is easy-to-use software."
"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"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."
"The main issue we are facing is related to licensing and the need to review invoices and product-wise details for international clients."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"As of right now, you cannot edit secondary lists in a batch feature."
"The reporting in QuickBooks is terrible and there's no flexibility in it. It only has standard reports that you can modify slightly."
"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."
"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"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 solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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