The software you need when opening a small business
Comments: For those opening a small business, how to process payments is one of the key questions that need a solution and with this you have the ability to get paid from your customer.
Pros:
The easy functionality and all the different features that I didn't think about that would be there to help get a company going
Cons:
The time it takes to put in all information
Quickbooks Point of Sale a breeze for users
Comments: Overall, we have been very happy with our Quickbooks Point of Sale experience and receive very few user complaints about the system.
Pros:
The POS interface is very user-friendly, something that is important when you have users who are not computer savvy. The ability to run either a single register or multiple in a networked environment was essential for our needs. The pre-built reports are very good and offer the ability to filter/search when needed.
Cons:
We run the on-prem version as their cloud-based version does not offer all the features we need. Because of this, user management within the system is difficult if you are managing multiple locations. POS clients will sometimes have trouble seeing the POS server, resulting in us having to write batch files that allow the end-users to restart the POS server services when needed.
Alternatives Considered:
Quickbooks POS
Comments: Our overall experience since using POS 19.0 has been BAD.
Pros:
The system is fairly easy to use and generally intuitive.
Cons:
Since they did the upgrade to 19.0 they removed the multiple email options. We have used Quickbooks POS for over 12 years and it worked well. There were a few minor things we had to work around, but that was okay and it served our company well. Since upgrading to 19.0 we have had nothing but problems. Feature were taken away, the screens freeze, it locks up our computers, etc. Then there is the service issue - it will shut down my entire POS system so I'll have customer calling or waiting and not POS, can't process credit cards, ets. You call for service and it 15 minutes or more to get assistance. You go online for "faster service" and get a technician that can't help. HORRIBLE customer service. Once in a while you'll get a good technician who is knowledgeable, but that is very rare.
Alternatives Considered:
Great point of sale program!
Pros:
I love how easy QuickBooks makes their point of sale program to use. I never had any issues using the program and it could do more than I even neededed!
Cons:
There is nothing I just like about QuickBooks point of sale.
