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

"They have, "Let's walk you through it," introductions, to show you how to use it."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"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."
"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."
"Valuable features include ease of use, compatibility with Windows, and the easily customizable platform."
"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."
"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"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."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
"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."
"Regarding improvements or enhancements in QuickBooks, there is limited customization that QuickBooks Online supports regarding reports. It's too rigid for complex financial analysis."
"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 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

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