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.

We find QuickBooks' budget generation feature valuable but haven't really utilized that as much as we'd want to. It's something that we plan on utilizing next year. It helps save money and time, though I can't speak to specific amounts as I would be really guessing. We use the on-premise version of QuickBooks. We have utilized the third-party application synchronization. An example of a third party that QuickBooks integrates well with is Avalara AvaTax. On a scale of 1-10, I rate QuickBooks a 7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has good availability."
"It is pretty stable and reliable."
"Without QB, we would be a much smaller business."
"Gives me the ability to do deep dives into accounting research."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"The solution is stable."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"QuickBooks Desktop is the perfect software program for a startup company to begin keeping track of its accounts, to work with banks, and to present financials to its CPAs so that they can get their taxes done."
 

Cons

"It is not so user-friendly."
"Saving is complicated. If you forget to save, you lose the information; it's terrible."
"The solution's import function can be quite complex and not as smooth. Importing data is a more complex process compared to the straightforward export feature."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
"We would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"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."
"The area that I don't use as much is the area about reconciliation with the bank accounts. I do all of that manually. So, the area that they can probably improve upon is just better reconciliation with the bank accounts."
"The customer response team is slow and sometimes causes the user to have a loss."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"The price point is higher because you are paying for a whole year in advance. They recently moved to subscription pricing."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"It is relatively expensive."
