Though the solution has great reporting capabilities, search functionality is an area in the product that needs improvement
The search functionality in the solution has shortcomings that can be improved in almost every area of the solution. The improvement of the solution's search functionality, particularly when it comes to the company's expense side where you have a bunch of different invoices from one company, can make it hard for a person to find an invoice that person wants to find because it doesn't necessarily let you filter by a specific amount or by a specific document number. The fact that the product doesn't necessarily allow for filtering is a pain when you want to dive deep into looking for something when you have a lot of invoices. For the size of my organization, QuickBooks is useful for what it does. I don't think any additional features are needed in the solution.

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 is its decent accounts payable module. It works pretty well."
"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 is known for its inventory and manufacturing features, it's a versatile accounting software that covers various aspects of financial management."
"Gives me the ability to do deep dives into accounting research."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"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."
"One of the aspects I appreciate the most is its remarkable user-friendliness."
"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."
"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"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."
"The search functionality in the solution has shortcomings that can be improved in almost every area of the solution."
"As of right now, you cannot edit secondary lists in a batch feature."
"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."
"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 solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"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."
"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 a bit on the high side, but it is affordable."
"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."
"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."
