Assyr Carvalho Junior Carvalho Junior - PeerSpot reviewer
Solutions Architect Leader at e-Core
Easy to set up with good availability but is not user-friendly
I'm a customer and an end-user. I'd advise new users to be patient to save the information before they exit from a page or anything as you can lose all information. Saving is complicated. There are two buttons on the final of the page. One button is Save, and the other is Complete Information or something. If you forget to save, you lose the formation. It's terrible. I would rate the solution a six out of ten.
Sushil Bhau - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Lead at Avalara
Has enabled smooth cloud integration for tax calculation and improved collaboration across teams
Regarding improvements or enhancements in QuickBooks, there is limited customization that QuickBooks Online supports regarding reports. It's too rigid for complex financial analysis. Data visualization needs improvement, particularly in the dashboard and live monitoring tools. Multi-entity and multi-currency reporting can be cumbersome without a third-party tool. Users experience syncing errors or duplicate transactions with bank feed accuracy. Workflow automation in QuickBooks Online could expand beyond rules for transactions, such as automation approval and recurring journal entries; these are opportunities for improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is pretty stable and reliable."
"The solution has good availability."
"QuickBooks is easy-to-use software."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"QuickBooks is very reliable and stable; being cloud-based allows me to access it from anywhere, and it is very useful."
"Gives me the ability to do deep dives into accounting research."
"Valuable features include ease of use, compatibility with Windows, and the easily customizable platform."
"The most valuable feature is its decent accounts payable module. It works pretty well."
"The solution is stable."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
 

Cons

"Saving is complicated. If you forget to save, you lose the information; it's terrible."
"It is not so user-friendly."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"The reporting in QuickBooks is terrible and there's no flexibility in it. It only has standard reports that you can modify slightly."
"The only concern that I've always had, and it's been a consistent issue that I've heard from others, which is when a file is exported from QuickBooks Desktop and imported into QuickBooks Online, there are accounts that are inactivated or deleted and duplicated. I don't know if it's a bug in the system or what it is, but there's the chart of accounts and the issue is always in the chart of accounts."
"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."
"Yes, it crashes from time to time. The online version has a lot of bugs, but it is never bad enough to hamper production."
"The main issue we are facing is related to licensing and the need to review invoices and product-wise details for international clients."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is relatively expensive."
"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."
"It is a bit on the high side, but it is affordable."
"The price point is higher because you are paying for a whole year in advance. They recently moved to subscription pricing."
"QuickBooks is an amazingly priced solution since it's a very cheap product, making it so good for small organizations since you can get a lot out of it without paying a large amount."
"They're trying to catch up with more expensive platforms, so they switched to a subscription model, which makes it even more expensive."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"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."
