QuickBooks Desktop

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

Enterprise has the option to do inventory management.

Pros

I like how QuickBooks allows me to open a new company profile for practice without interfering with my business data. I also like how this system allows me to extract files to MS Excel files.

Cons

Whilst QuickBooks is easy to use and operate, it requires intensive training and diligence to avoid interfering with the hygiene of stored data.

Pros

Advanced Inventory Management: QuickBooks Enterprise includes advanced inventory management features, such as barcode scanning, serial number tracking, and FIFO costing. These tools help businesses efficiently track and manage their inventory, reducing errors and improving accuracy.

Cons

Cost: QuickBooks Enterprise is more costly compared to other QuickBooks versions. The software requires an annual subscription and the price increases based on the number of users and additional features needed. This cost can be a barrier for small businesses with limited budgets.
Complexity: QuickBooks Enterprise is a robust software with advanced features, which can make it more complex and overwhelming for users who are not familiar with accounting software. Some users find the learning curve to be steeper compared to other QuickBooks versions.

Pros

I like most the comprehensive financial administration highlights, including progressed detailing, adjustable invoicing, and vigorous client the executives apparatuses, which upgrade precision and effectiveness for business tasks.

Cons

The least liked part of QuickBooks Enterprise is its greater expense contrasted with different choices, which might be a boundary for more modest organizations, and the intricacy of a few high level elements.

Pros

I like that it integrates with 3rd party software easily

Cons

I dislike that I cannot pull a balance sheet report by class. I use the class function for fund reporting and if I receive funds into the P&L they will sit there unused if they are for capital items.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

The capability to create an infinite number of projects.

Pros

Pros:
User-friendly interface
Robust financial management and reporting
Customization options tailored to organizational needs
Integration with other tools

Cons

We don't currently have any cons. We will soon begin using an integration with our CRM, and we hope it will be even more efficient!

Pros

The absolute only good thing I can say about Quickbooks Enterprise is that it is easy to use.

Cons

It is buggy, it is expensive, it gets more expensive every year, and Intuit support is terrible.

Pros

Very user friendly and the fact that you are able to provide multi-company combined financials easily.

Cons

I don't like how you are able to delete entries so easily.

Pros

Actually when I started using QuickBooks Enterprise’s this in my previous organisation, it was new for me but somehow I was able to manage it why I like this because of its advanced features like inventory management, customizable reports, and the ability to handle large data.

Cons

I think it can be a bit overwhelming for new users, and the cost is also quite high as compared to other accounting software.

Pros

Excellent for running your own business and working with payroll. Invoicing is a breeze. Reports run great. The inventory management is better than I imagined.

Cons

I can't think of anything off the top of my head. Sometimes if you don't keep up with it, things can get a little overwhelming. Maybe just needs to working with as far as layout of the software goes?

Pros

Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is good, there is no doubt about that. It is relatively straightforward to use and maintain. It has a lot of functionality and features that are very beneficial.

Cons

Where do I start? One of the issues that we encounter is every time there is an update, it seems to break the Database Manger. We looked at switching to Quickbooks Online Advanced to make things easier, but it is VERY lacking in comparison. QB Desktop Enterprise, in most cases, is hosted locally. This leads to issues with server and maintenance. The features are very antiquated compared to other online options that are currently available.

Pros

As my company is an accounting firm, I deal with quickbook from time to time. What I liked most about QuickBooks Enterprise is its affordability for our clients compared to other accounting software options. This makes it a cost-effective solution for our clients looking to manage their finances without breaking the bank. Also, QuickBooks Enterprise has an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, making it accessible even for users with limited accounting experience.

Cons

The software lacks robust options for designing and customizing reports to suit specific business needs.
It falls short when it comes to advanced analytical features, making it less effective for in-depth financial analysis and decision-making.

Pros

It work well for my small business platform.mobile application is also nice of this platform

Cons

It's not quick and take time for getting out once you get in, it is not for a large business

Pros

software designed to help you manage your accounting and business needs efficiently and with ease

Cons

"Transitioning from the online version to the desktop version can be challenging. Additionally, the lack of automatic data backup poses a risk of potential data loss."
"Overall, I find the software to be comprehensive and well-equipped, with no significant features missing or aspects I dislike."

Pros

Its very indepth, and precise. And a great value for the money it costs. A definite steal for a small business owner.

Cons

If you have never used it before, it can be a little overwhelming.

Pros

Ease of use
Convenient data entry
Selfexplantory

Cons

Lack of reports outside of accounting
Limit of allowed users

Pros

Their system is very easy to understand. What I like best is that their reports are quite comprehensive; you can create all kinds of reports and find all information very clearly.

Cons

However, their customer service was not as impressive. Whenever I encountered a problem, there was no one to speak to directly; I could only reach out via email, which wasn't very helpful. Additionally, I faced another issue: I initially had only 10 users but needed to add more. The only available option was to add another 20 users, which ended up being quite pricey since there was no way to add just another 10.

Pros

its perfect for small busines that do not have acess to internet. It lets count and make records in the deskop instend on online cluds. It does have the option to update to clouds tho.

Cons

it toke me a wile to know this sofware existed.

Pros

It's simple to always have the most recent edition and required updates with QB's online version. The file sharing features are just what the accountant needs to exchange data without any hassles and to maintain your books and file your taxes. If necessary, quickbook loan funding is easily accessible and QB payroll is accessible via the software. Access at any time and from any location is advantageous.

Cons

It can be unreliable, particularly if you choose not to use the automations. When you mark these "tasks" as completed, it tells you that there is no task because, for example, it keeps telling you that you haven't completed the AI payroll and tax payments. The inability to use automated payroll or taxes if you pay overtime makes this a frustrating situation with little way to get around it. They try to force you to use these automations, but problems like these stop them and make it impossible for you to verify that all the numbers are entered accurately. Furthermore, Quickbooks attempts to steer you toward chatbots and AI-assisted responses even when they are unable to provide you with solutions.

Pros

The feature that I liked the most about QuickBooks Enterprise was the ability to use more than one option to access clients information. You could access clients information from more than one area of your dashboard.

Cons

My last client was a CPA firm . As I was working on my client's software I noticed that they were bookkeeping for other companies and they had made quite a few mistakes on the categorization parts. It took a lot of time to recategorize and fix the mistakes that they often made. I would give the categorization features a 3.5 star rating at best. I think that an AI component would be very helpful in this area.

Pros

QuickBooks Enterprise is a powerhouse for managing finances. Customization and scalability are top-notch, and the reporting tools are a dream for decision-making. The support team is reliable, which is a relief.

Cons

It’s not for the faint of heart. The interface is overwhelming, and the learning curve is steep. Also, the cost can be a barrier for small businesses, especially when you don’t need all the bells and whistles.

Pros

QuickBooks Enterprise is a robust accounting solution ideal for medium to large businesses. It offers advanced reporting, scalability, industry-specific tools, enhanced inventory management, detailed user permissions, and seamless integration with other business systems. These features make it a powerful choice for organizations with complex financial needs.

Cons

The downsides of QuickBooks Enterprise include its high cost, steep learning curve due to complexity, limited multi-currency support, potential performance issues with large data, and the lack of a true cloud-based version, which can limit accessibility.

Pros

Being able to have multiple people make entries in different asset classes at the same time and not lose any data

Cons

A little bit slow at times sometimes problems logging onto system

Pros

User friendly design that is easy to learn and navigate, great for invoicing people as well as paying invoices, good organization of invoices and payments.

Cons

No recourse through customer service. Data is held hostage as leverage for stopping cancellation of unauthorized charges, ie: sure you can cancel but we're not sure what will happen to your data.

Pros

mobile friendly, can update account while on the move

Cons

It discounect with my shopify account every few month and I have to sync it again. It also wont let me connect with my bank. so have to manually uploan statement in CSV file

Pros

Good full-service account and finance platform.

Cons

Pricing is starting to get too high for the value.

SAP was too expensive and more complicated to deploy.

Pros

Quickbooks is very user friendly. It was very easy to learn and works well for the construction industry. I especially like how the home screen is set up. It's basically a bunch of quick steps.

Cons

There are some restrictions with reports. It's like it can't grab information from two different sections of Quickbooks and put it on one report.

Pros

QB is so easy to use and easy to learn! We lean on it for our invoicing , AR, tax processed, and time tracking.

Not a thing. QB has been top notch and we rely
On it for everything.

Easy to navigate with basic concepts and procedures.

To many updates were discouraging. Sometimes ling delays also.

I consider fresh books . Who are in this startup.

Pros

Best QuickBooks ever, many capabilities, user friendly

Cons

User friendly, new features, easy browsing

Pros

General functionality. Most people are familiar with QuickBooks so it's easy to share information, when needed.

Cons

My understanding is that Intuit is planning to discontinue all desktop versions of QuickBooks and switch to online only. I've tried QuickBooks Online and do not like it. Having used QuickBooks/Quicken since the 1980s, with numerous companies, I sincerely hope Intuit reconsiders this action, as it would be tragic and cause me to look elsewhere for accounting software.

Pros

If your business is not very complicated, this tool works wall and is fairly easy to sue and integrates well with other systems, like an AP such as Bill.

Cons

it is limited in its scope so if yo do have highly complex accounting needs, this system may not be right for you.

Pros

The fact that you can account for all your multiple projects and your profits. And also been able to know everything that is going on in your business by using the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

Cons

Having the fact that it will be challenging in managing all the multiple project at once and at the same time.

Pros

It integrates seamlessly with other platforms like QuickBooks Payroll to easily streamline. It has the ability to scale with companies and allows up to 30 licenses available to be used! It also has very sophisticated role-based security that allows administrators to feel confident that confidential financial information is only seen by the proper people!

Cons

It is a much higher cost and learning curve than other QuickBook solutions, but also much more sophisticated. We thought it would be the same, and it caused some headaches at integration and in the early days, so be prepared for that if you have experience with other QuickBook solutions!

Pros

Today, Nothing! I am fed up with wasting time on a problem they could have easily fixed.

Cons

They have been made aware by numerous customers that after the upgrade to 2023 software we are no longer able to send statements. They stated they "turned off" the customer sort function, so you can no longer choose to generate statements for only customers with a balance. It will generate a statement for EVERY single customer you have, IF you have less than 4500, EVERY time. If , like us, you have been with them for years and years and have more than 4500 customers it just creates an error message and will do nothing. The only option is to scroll through all you thousands of customers and individually select the ones you want to send statements to. It takes a few hours!! It is a simple sort function, that used to take 1 minute for the software to perform. They have been aware of the problem since April of 2023 and have done nothing. They did not fix it in the 2024 Edition either. Customer support just wastes several hours of your time trying things that don't work, and then they "create a support ticket" for you. Mine was created in May of 2023, and still nothing has been done. We pay extra to have Enterprise because we have a huge customer base and so we are forced to purchase Enterprise instead of the cheaper versions, but then they have a glitch that makes a VERY BASIC function, sending out monthly statements, not work. We are tired of waiting for them to fix this and are looking to switch to a different software. It is very frustrating that after being a customer for years and years to have to change accounting programs.

Pros

It's a commonly-known app that people are often familiar with from using on their own finances.

Cons

Archaic interface for updates, multiuser mode difficulties, limits of troubleshooting tools when things go wrong.

Pros

Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise lets you keep your data on-premise, rather than in the cloud where Intuit uses your data for various 'purposes'. Easily customizable - basically a SQL Anywhere database.

Cons

Integrating Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is needlessly complex - there are no APIs to use, just the old Quickbooks Web Connector. QBWC uses the outdated XML format to receive and send data - to integrate with another system you either need developer skills to create your own web connector file or use a third-party ETL service that will generate one based on your workflow.

Pros

It offers a wide range of tools for invoicing, expense tracking, payroll and reporting.

Cons

Quickbooks can be expensive, especially for small business with monthly subscription.

Pros

Scalability and Capacity, Advanced Reporting, Industry-Specific Features, Integrations and Add-ons, User Permissions and Roles are some of the features make QuickBooks Enterprise a strong fit for businesses looking to grow while keeping finances tightly organized and accessible.

Cons

The vast number of features and customization options can be overwhelming for beginners, Enterprise doesn’t always offer as smooth or comprehensive integrations as fully cloud-based software, it is one of the pricier QuickBooks options, with a subscription model.

Pros

Integration with Third-Party Apps
The software integrates seamlessly with a wide range of third-party applications, from payment processors to CRM tools, expanding its functionality and allowing businesses to streamline their operations across various platforms.

Cons

Complexity and Learning Curve
QuickBooks Enterprise has a steeper learning curve compared to other QuickBooks products. The advanced features and customization options can be overwhelming for new users or small businesses without dedicated accounting staff. It can take time to fully grasp its capabilities and navigate the software efficiently.

Pros

It's so easy to work on QuickBooks. I can write all of my checks, which is so easy to print.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like. I use it daily for our business.

Pros

Easy to scan receipts. Easy to learn system. Certifications available. QuickBooks tools increased and promoted necessary financial tracking. Loved it.

Cons

Price. I wish there was a free option but other than that I didn't really encounter cons with QuickBooks.

Pros

1. Better reporting.
2. Multiple Companies open at the same time.

Cons

1. Cost. Upfront is very expensive.
2. Uses a lot of system resources.

Easy to use, and the modules, such as payroll, are incredibly helpful and time-saving.
