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.

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."
"Gives me the ability to do deep dives into accounting research."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
"The most valuable feature is its decent accounts payable module. It works pretty well."
"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."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"They have, "Let's walk you through it," introductions, to show you how to use it."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"QuickBooks Online has improved my organization by offering a vast array of integrations with other products that allow you to improve process efficiencies while keeping the cost of your ERP or accounting software affordable."
 

Cons

"Saving is complicated. If you forget to save, you lose the information; it's terrible."
"It is not so user-friendly."
"The ability to integrate outside apps is lacking (compared to the online versions) and ability to download bank transactions does not work as well as it should."
"The main issue we are facing is related to licensing and the need to review invoices and product-wise details for international clients."
"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."
"As of right now, you cannot edit secondary lists in a batch feature."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
"The customer response team is slow and sometimes causes the user to have a loss."
"It would be beneficial to enhance inventory and manufacturing features, as it currently depends on third-party applications like Fishbowl Inventory to address these specific needs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"They're trying to catch up with more expensive platforms, so they switched to a subscription model, which makes it even more expensive."
"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."
"It is relatively expensive."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"It is a bit on the high side, but it is affordable."
"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."
