Dana Bakker - PeerSpot reviewer
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 of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"QuickBooks is known for its inventory and manufacturing features, it's a versatile accounting software that covers various aspects of financial management."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"The solution is stable."
"QuickBooks is easy-to-use software."
"QuickBooks Online has improved my organization by offering a vast array of integrations with other products that allow you to improve process efficiencies while keeping the cost of your ERP or accounting software affordable."
"Valuable features include ease of use, compatibility with Windows, and the easily customizable platform."
"The stability is pretty solid."
 

Cons

"The area that I don't use as much is the area about reconciliation with the bank accounts. I do all of that manually. So, the area that they can probably improve upon is just better reconciliation with the bank accounts."
"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."
"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"The reporting in QuickBooks is terrible and there's no flexibility in it. It only has standard reports that you can modify slightly."
"The main issue we are facing is related to licensing and the need to review invoices and product-wise details for international clients."
"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 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 solution is a little bit slow sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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