Worth the price tag

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I started out learning QuickBooks on the desktop version for a previous job, and the software has come a long, long way since then. The online version is well organized, easy to use, and in the three years I've been using it I've never run into a single glitch.

Pros:

QuickBooks online gives me one place to track everything related to money for my small business: income, expenses, taxes, and payroll. It's easy to set up and use, and I like knowing that even when I'm not paying as much attention to some of the bookkeeping as I should, it's still being tracked for when I have time to get to it.

Cons:

It's a little pricey and the help/FAQs aren't always that helpful, but those quibbles are greatly outweighed by how easy and useful it is.

Great Value for the Price

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: Overall, my company has been happy with our switch to QuickBooks. We previously used Netsuite for our accounting software, but the subscription fees were outrageous and the features were difficult to manage and execute. QuickBooks offers what we need for a very reasonable price on a user-friendly format. I would definitely recommend this to small businesses who do not need a lot of advanced functionality.

Pros:

The QuickBooks software is very affordable with lots of good out-of-box features. AR and AP functions are very easy to use for novice users of the software. There are a lot of templated reports that are very helpful for weekly and monthly accounting tasks (Payroll, Vendor Payments, Sales, etc.). The software also allows you to add on a variety of additional features through plug-ins, which you can access for a nominal monthly fee. For example, the BIll.com integration is excellent for paying your vendors online, eliminating the need for mailing out checks each month.

Cons:

The biggest issue with QuickBooks is their customer service department. Whenever we have issues that cannot be resolved by an internal administrator, it takes days and sometimes weeks before an Intuit rep returns our messages. We've been using the software a little over a year and have already been passed around to several different account reps. At one point, their response time was so poor I had to request a different rep. The other thing I find cumbersome with the software is the sales reporting. While the templates are helpful, I often end up with a lot of superfluous information, and the reports are not very malleable, even once exported to Xcel. This is an area I feel could be greatly improved with minimal effort from Intuit.

Quickbooks or the other guys

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: The product itself is fine and I do not have many complaints about it. They are just the only PC software that I have every purchased, who will create an upgrade/fix or purposely turn off a feature, just so I will have to make a purchase of the "new" version from them (I never have to pay to upgrade Excel, Word or any of my other day-to-day software purchases). back when I first loaded Quickbooks I had a few version of Microsofts small business package. Because Quickbooks was well established I passed on the free version and made a purchase of Quickbooks. That free version has become D365. My thought now is what else was out there for a small business that I just passed on. In short, Quickbooks can do everything that they advertise and they do it well and at a fair price. However, once you get started with them, because the "forced upgrades" are always cheaper/easier than starting over, your first purchase of Quickbooks will not be your last (if you look online there are always people selling an older version of Quickbooks. It is because every couple of years they need to do the upgrade and no longer need the older version). Just keep that part in mind as you make your small business software decision. If you are comfortable with that and always want to have the latest and greatest then QuickBooks in the software package for you (it really is good). But if you are cheap like me and do not mind using an older version of a product, then you might want to explore what some of your other options might be.

Pros:

Quickbooks is intuitive and relatively easy to learn, but is still feature rich, allowing one person to wear many hats and carry out the required functions of a small business. Another big plus is that most accountants know how to use it come tax time (I only need account to do my taxes, I do all of the day to day activity on my own).

Cons:

Quickbooks keeps trying to "force" you to into a paid subscription model and continued upgrades. The original version I purchased almost 20 years ago would still handle my needs as written back then, but they will "turn off" features to force you to upgrade and each new upgrade trys to squeeze you into a subscription based model, when it is not what I want or my business needs. I paid them once for the software and they should have been enough. I have already had to purchase another 5 versions, not because I wanted new features, to fix a problem or because I had outgrown the original version. Just so they could squeeze more money out of me (I constantly wish I would have start on some other package).

Works well if you you don't have too large of a dataset.

3.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: Before our company grew, Quickbooks Enterprise worked well for us with only minor inconveniences. But as our number of orders grew, it was wasting our time waiting for it to catch up with each change we'd make in an order.

Pros:

Quickbooks Enterprise worked well for our company for a while, tracking equipment repairs, inventory of parts and accounting.

Cons:

When we had larger numbers of orders in the system, Quickbooks Enterprise slowed down excruciatingly. We would have to wait for the system to update with every change to a new screen and it was wasting productivity time. We also had issues with the order numbers from estimate, to service order, to invoice changing each time, and it confused our customers.
