Integrates seamlessly, is simple to install, and has responsive internal technical support
It comes in three sizes: small, medium, and large. There is no problem with scalability or thresholds. It holds up. We have slightly more than 3,000 users globally. The users are everywhere spanning from sales, product development, cost management, professional services, support, and value management are all covered. In my opinion, it's a 100% uptake. There is no second solution. If you don't utilize it you can't do your job.

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

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface, which is extremely simple and very modern compared to other similar software available."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the user interface, which is extremely simple and very modern compared to other similar software available."
"The main benefits I have seen from QuickBooks are that it helps our partners do their business impactfully with the help of QuickBooks Online."
"they even thought about different industries, so that if you're in a service industry, if you're in a retail industry, or you're in construction, they have set up some of the initial out-of-the-box setups, so that you have something that looks kind of like your industry. So for me, I'm an accountant consulting. I do not need an Account called "Dental Equipment." It's flexible to fit your industry."
"Valuable features include ease of use, compatibility with Windows, and the easily customizable platform."
"Gives me the ability to do deep dives into accounting research."
"For most small businesses, QuickBooks Desktop is the best solution."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"They have, "Let's walk you through it," introductions, to show you how to use it."
"QuickBooks is known for its inventory and manufacturing features, it's a versatile accounting software that covers various aspects of financial management."
 

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"As of right now, you cannot edit secondary lists in a batch feature."
"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once. For example, I owe company "A" $100, so company "A" is Accounts Payable, and I just want to list it one by one by one. If I want to add more companies, say, company "B" with $200, I can't list Accounts Payable in that entry. I would have to just say, company "A", $100, company "B", $200, Accounts Payable, $300." That's a shortcoming of it."
"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."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once."
"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."
"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 customer response team is slow and sometimes causes the user to have a loss."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"They're trying to catch up with more expensive platforms, so they switched to a subscription model, which makes it even more expensive."
"The price point is higher because you are paying for a whole year in advance. They recently moved to subscription pricing."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"It is relatively expensive."
"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."
"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 a bit on the high side, but it is affordable."
