Account Manager at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Director, Administration at a retailer with 11-50 employees
Provides timely financial insights and supports growth with some room to streamline complexity
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 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 the solution stems from its reporting capabilities."
"Without QB, we would be a much smaller business."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"They have, "Let's walk you through it," introductions, to show you how to use it."
"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."
"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."
"It is user-friendly, making it accessible for business owners who often handle their own bookkeeping."
"QuickBooks is easy to use because a normal person can also do accounting, bookkeeping, and everything."
 

Cons

"Pricing and partner support could be improved."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing of QuickBooks should be more budget-friendly."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"According to what I've heard and understood, it's on the pricey side."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"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."
"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."
"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 tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
"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."
