The robustness of this software is pretty good.
It does seem to be pieced together. Also if a client has an issue, it can be hard to troubleshoot.
It does help with accounting and difficult scenarios like inventory management, but it can be very tricky. One wrong move and you have to restart the whole process over.
Easy to use w/workflow bank account and wholesale purposes
Was a learn curve for many solute. requrts workflow basics.
Sales and workflow and wholesale record keep for bank
Quickbooks has been able to accommodate all my needs thus far. It is great for a smaller company but would have it's limitations as you expand.
Not easy to navigate. I feel there are many functions available that i'm not even aware of because my options are not well advertised
Invoice entry and payments are extremely easy to use and self explanatory. The vendor section is well organized and easy to navigate. The sales tax functions are great and come in handy but are lacking in direction with little help from the support team.
The budget reports are helpful in monitoring spending
Details can be difficult and quick books can be finnicky with certain functions. Mistakes are hard to fix.
This product helps our business monitor finances effectively.
Easy to navigate and use, very easy to generate financials and trial balance to submit to management or outside tax accountant.
There is a lot to be desired. For reconciliation it is too easy to accidentally click a button and mess up the whole reconciliation for bank accounts with lots of transactions.
We have used quickbooks to input all data to generate financials for management. It has helped us to be be acquired by another company.
The simplicity and ease of basic functions.
There is no appropriate web interface for our purposes
Basic billing and payables, payroll, and reporting
It's easy to enter invoices and track payments.
Combining reports from other companies takes a long time. Some glitches when printing checks.
Accounting for several companies. Running reports.
Importing transactions through the Online Banking feature and easily matching them to QB transactions. Messaging is another great feature. Reports can be exported into Excel fairly easily, and invoices can be sent via Outlook with one click.
Software is slow overall, and crashes maybe twice a month. While there is a lot of potential for customization, this takes time and is not very user-friendly from a setup perspective. Lots of potential for other users to edit something incorrectly or erroneously. Notes are disconnected (transaction vs profile), and none of the reports seem to work perfectly on the first try. Additionally, custom reports are quite tricky to create.
QuickBooks Desktop allows us to have a complete, multi-user process for purchases. We have a central item list, which is always current. Reconciliations take no time at all, as long as we keep up on our online banking transaction matching.
Easy to use and integrates with a lot of point of sale solutions. It also is very easy to setup accounts and sub accounts when configuring the chart of accounts for your business. Integration with online bank feeds is helpful, though it still has plenty of error messages even when it is working correctly.
Combining reports from multiple companies is very difficult and slow. It still has many bugs that can cause random error messages to occur.
It allows us to review and reconcile activity at our shops and create financial statements
Excellent support. They will help you deploy it.
The price. I helped purchase this for another company who only needed to add more than 5 users, mainly to create estimates and control inventory. They didn't need all of the other options. Luckily, it was a large enough company so they could absorb the cost.
Inventory, payroll, estimates, invoicing.
It’s easy to learn to use and very user friendly
Some processes could be improved for specific tasks with AR
Helps process AP and AR and reporting
The cost is reasonable and there are various levels of support based on your company needs. It is fairly user friendly and works well for multiple users who need access to the same data.
I find it difficult to get some of the reports I would like to see without multiple steps rather than direct access
We use quick books for all of our accounting needs both payables, receivables as well as payroll.
I like the Flexible options within the application. We've been able to set it up to provide the functionality we require to accurately input and track orders and sales. It generates important reports, allows controlled access as well as multiple users. We can also access multiple companies, handy for tracking inter-company transactions. Finally, it will grow with us. We don't see a near term need to move to a more expensive platform.
The graphics make for a slow response time. Because of this, we've only moved 2 of our 4 companies onto this platform. We've remained on Quickbooks Pro multi-user for the other 2 companies.
It helps us track inventory, invoicing and purchases.
It is very cost effective for us as a nonprofit.
It is very hard effectively manage a large number of funds.
Having a all in one Finance and accounting solution.
For a person not particularly well versed in accounting the software is fairly straight forward. The software well organizes the information you give in a user-friendly fashion.
For two years I worked in an engineering company's accounting office where QuickBooks was used to maintain records. As an accounting staff I was responsible for producing reports, making journal entries, entering new clients, updating records, and occasionally producing financial statements. My experience is this: for a person not particularly well versed in accounting the software is fairly straight forward (as stated above). However, for an accountant the software limits the ability to customize. As well in my experience, there were 1 too many times the software had glitches and we had to contact the customer service line to get assistance and correct a problem. Specifically, there was 1 day where I got into work and didn't have access to the software for 4 hours which is a major inefficiency in an accounting department.
I am reading this as "what did you use the software for, and did it help you?" In my use, the business used QuickBooks to solve the issue of organizing clientele records, invoice/accounts payable records, projects, employee time cards, reports. The benefits were many - the software did what we needed it to do. In retrospect, I wish it did more than just that. But the software does exactly what it says it will do for your business.
We have used Quickbooks daily for years, and is very easy to use. Love all the different features it offers. We also do our payroll through quickbooks, and love the quicker direct deposits that quickbooks offers, unlike other payroll programs
It's always challenging find the correct report that I want, but creating your own reports has proven to be fairly easy to do, so theres that. Our biggest dislike now, is that they've gone to yearly subscription only when you purchase the desktop version. What used to be very budget friendly for small start up businesses, not so much anymore.
So far the only issue we've encountered was with our payroll services, somehow our company file got corrupted and it wouldn't send direct deposits, quickbooks helped us work through fixing the problem so we could process our payroll and send the direct deposits
It does do bookkeeping well. At least thats what the accountants tell me. It is a proven product with a solid set of accounting and bookkeeping features. It does fund-based accounting which is essential to our business.
It is not a product that integrates with anything else. Reporting is very limited. It only runs on Windows. There is not a cloud version (you can host Windows in a cloud environment and run QuickBooks on the virtual machine, but thats a lot more expensive and complicated than cloud-based software as service. Perhaps most of all...Intuit. They are just not a great software company. Several bad updates and of course some real screw-ups over the years
Our critical accounting is done using QuickBooks. It does accurately get the job done. We can get basic reports. But beyond the essentials, we have not had many benefits.
According to softwareconnect.com, QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions offers the most comprehensive business management tools for growing businesses with up to 30 simultaneous users. Enterprise Solutions allows you to customize any of the 120+ built-in Reports and forms to look the way you want. My business uses Quickbooks everyday and it has been easy for us to navigate through.
I dislike the online help and agents we come into contact with, it seems like they are always unsure what the solution is and just tell us things we already know. It has happened once or twice where we will be in the program and it will just automatically shut down. We are not sure why this is. But for the most part, it is a good Enterprise and has served us good in the long run.
Not much. It's easy to navigate.
Quickbooks is a very useful tool for performing accounting/financial functions for a small to midsize accounting department. It is useful in creating ledger enteries, examining transactions, and assisting with month-end close.
Quickbooks is not as functional for larger accounting departments and becomes less useful as the scale of the accounting tasks increases. Higher volume requires a more substantive ERP system.
Quickbooks was used to perform daily accounting functions and processes within the accounting department. It was also used for financial tasks. It was beneficial in centralizing account information and managing ledger accounts.
Quickbooks user interface is very clean and easy to use. All basic accounting features are laid out and can be accessed easily. One of the best features is that due to the popularity of Quickbooks, there are a ton software and programs that can be synced to it. Importing CSV files to record large amounts of data is easy to do.
The ability to access prior records and edit it is bad for proper internal control. Quickbooks can become "buggy" at times which makes it very frustrating during the month-end close period.
We use Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise for our basic accounting needs. It's easy to use and the ability to sync with multiple outside programs helps save us a bunch of time.
