QuickBooks Enterprise

Vorteile

I just love QuickBooks been using it for years it makes things seamless and it integrates into just about everything.

Nachteile

I wish it could cause a little bit less with features that's needed but overall QuickBooks is a business software and excellent so it's definitely worth the money.

Vorteile

Quickbooks is intuitive and relatively easy to learn, but is still feature rich, allowing one person to wear many hats and carry out the required functions of a small business.

Another big plus is that most accountants know how to use it come tax time (I only need account to do my taxes, I do all of the day to day activity on my own).

Nachteile

Quickbooks keeps trying to "force" you to into a paid subscription model and continued upgrades. The original version I purchased almost 20 years ago would still handle my needs as written back then, but they will "turn off" features to force you to upgrade and each new upgrade trys to squeeze you into a subscription based model, when it is not what I want or my business needs. I paid them once for the software and they should have been enough. I have already had to purchase another 5 versions, not because I wanted new features, to fix a problem or because I had outgrown the original version. Just so they could squeeze more money out of me (I constantly wish I would have start on some other package).

Vorteile

Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise lets you keep your data on-premise, rather than in the cloud where Intuit uses your data for various 'purposes'. Easily customizable - basically a SQL Anywhere database.

Nachteile

Integrating Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is needlessly complex - there are no APIs to use, just the old Quickbooks Web Connector. QBWC uses the outdated XML format to receive and send data - to integrate with another system you either need developer skills to create your own web connector file or use a third-party ETL service that will generate one based on your workflow.

Vorteile

It offers a wide range of tools for invoicing, expense tracking, payroll and reporting.

Nachteile

Quickbooks can be expensive, especially for small business with monthly subscription.

Vorteile

That I can easily capture data for the company. I can easily label invoices and save them. I can easily look for certain invoices when I search them up. QuickBooks can also help with calculating costs faster than having to manually trying to calculate them.

Nachteile

QuickBooks can take quite a while to open up.

Vorteile

Very full featured powerful tool that fulfills need for single source management tool

Nachteile

desktop version can be buggy requiring reinstallation

Vorteile

Nachteile

Can be clunky at times. A lot of program do not sync with quickbooks desktop which can be annoying.

Vorteile

QuickBooks Enterprise stands out for its advanced reporting, scalability, industry-specific features, enhanced security, and robust inventory management. It's great for larger businesses needing complex financial tools and dedicated support.

Nachteile

Some drawbacks of QuickBooks Enterprise include its high cost, complexity, and steep learning curve. It can be overkill for smaller businesses and may require significant time and resources to set up and manage effectively. Additionally, users sometimes report that its user interface can be less intuitive compared to simpler versions.

Vorteile

It is a user friendly way to keep track of financials

Nachteile

It sometimes is hard to navigate when toggling to different areas of the reports

Vorteile

Great support, intuitive web interface and adequate features for running a small business

Since quickbooks ties out to accounting/taxing software - if a mistake is made, there can be catastrophic consequences on the backend if not caught in time.

Tremendous functionality

Nachteile

Sometimes it feels a little clunky, but most of the time this is not an issue.

Vorteile

Having been in an administrative support role for QuickBooks Enterprise desktop for over 10 years the one thing I appreciate is the consistency from release to release which means we do not have to re-train our staff or our [sensitive content hidden] each time a new release comes out. That does not mean that they do not add new features but that they maintain the similar look and feel of previous versions which I like. I also like that they do keep adding industry standard features to their products to stay competitive in the marketplace.

Nachteile

One of the only issues I have is that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to download the latest patches to the server which hosts the file. I think that that process could use some improvement, the in-app upgrade however does work good and usually don't have any issues with the server so I just leave it until they release a major release.

Vorteile

As a 10+yr user, we were ready to pay the three year price today which apparently is $1.3K/yr now, technically $3.9K/3yrs (assuming they don't rasie the price again) for their new subscription model since they're refusing to offer even the most basic technical updates or even access to the downloaded desktop software after "subscription" ends.

Nachteile

The price is up from $549 just over three years ago, effectively raising the price 609%. This could easily be seen as profiteering and hopefully Intuit QuickBooks is faced with a large enough class action lawsuit to bring the executives back down to earth. The most unfortunate part for Intuit QuickBooks is that once clients leave it will be near impossible to bring them back. Based on the feedback I've been reading, this could be a real lesson for the price elasticity of demand, it's tempting to short the stock.

Warum QuickBooks Enterprise gewählt wurde

Price

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Enterprise

Features and training for a good price.

Vorteile

App che è affidata a persone esperte e software impeccabili, utile per monitorare e utilizzare dati importanti e sensibili senza alcuna autorizzazione

Nachteile

Nessuno, è molto pratica, forse aggiungerei la personalizzazione dell'app

Vorteile

Desktop allows you to do so many thing with a large company that is easier that online. The Reports are great as well.

Nachteile

when there are more than a couple people using the program at the same time it can get confusing as to who has the most up to date copy. Also working from home becomes more difficult.

Vorteile

I really like the fact that the software can keep track of deposits easily, can keep track of employees as well as track sales and purchases with great ease.

Nachteile

I think that notices need to be sent whenever there is a change, sometimes the software can be somewhat slow and the customer service could be improved in terms of finding the right person to speak with to solve technical issues or answer questions.

Vorteile

Has some good standard features we use daily

Nachteile

Could use better integration of other software platforms driven to professional use

Vorteile

Ease of data entry, creating reports, and tracking expenses.

Nachteile

It served my purposes in all areas meaning you can always find your bottom line numbers.

Vorteile

The way QB lets you drill down. Great flow of how the system works.

Nachteile

Customer service. We want to talk to someone that is local that we can communicate with. Understands our product and resolve issues.

Vorteile

Allows you to run more than one company file without crashing.

Nachteile

I sometime face limitations when it comes to file sizes and transactions.

Vorteile

Quickbook is a powerful and intuitive tool. I has been a very useful tool for our bookeeping and billing purposes. The support team is also very responsive.

Nachteile

Setting up a multicurrency account is not as easy once you already set up a local currency account. Although you can still send invoices internationally, your will have to bill your clients using your account's currency.

Vorteile

The software allows for a centralized database that multiple users can work in simultaneously and allows for everything from bookkeeping to ticketing and payment system integration.

Nachteile

Just a pet peeve as an admin, sometimes updates can be a little quirky and require all users to be updated at once.

Vorteile

Banking features. I loved that they were detailed and available. Very complicated to learn but once learned very useful

Nachteile

The whole program took time to learn and become familiar. Longer than I would have thought.

Vorteile

I like that QB is easy to use and that I can connect mostly all of my accounts to it. However, I was unable to connect my Home Depot credit card for some reason. I have used QB to prepare a profit and loss statement for my accountant. I have painstakingly used this software. I have used it almost on a daily basis, as it helps to give me a clear financial picture of my small business. I can't see myself managing my e-commerce business any other way, since I have many transactions.

Nachteile

The fact that I cannot group tag transactions. In a business like mine that has thousands of transactions throughout the year, the biggest gripe I have with QB is that I cannot batch select and change the tags. The tags are so important, especially if running multiple businesses, which I was. Since then, I have closed two of those businesses for the very reason that I cannot properly manage it all with one quickbooks account. I thought it would be easy to tag things, however, it truly sucks to have to go one by one. Also, I dislike the "rules" it auto creates because for any new transaction type, it pops up and really slowed me down when I was already having trouble with my tagging and categorizing.

QB is simply the most comprehensive and overall the easiest product to use to account for my small business. I didn't like the other options that I explored and felt that for the money, it was a good way to do all of my business and personal accounting.

Vorteile

The product is easy to use. I have used this software for 20 years, and even when I have upgraded, even though the appearance may be different, you basically can start working right away and work through the changes in the upgrades. I like the fact that any report that you need, you can email it to yourself without having to print it. You can also convert to an excel version.

Nachteile

I really haven't had any issues to complain about with this software. I use 2 different company files within the software and have no issues.

Vorteile

This software is very user friendly. Getting to individual accounts is easy and straight forward. The importing of bank records saves me a ton of time doing payroll and reimbursements each month. I can track all of the owner's businesses in one place without paying extra per company added.

Nachteile

We opted for this version because of the PO tracking. The problem is, the PO's are not created by us. They are created by our customers so we can't actually use that part of the software that we paid for. I can still run reports and track project time and expenses, but I can't track a PO given to us and how much left to be billed. I still have to do that manually. It also doesn't integrate with T-sheets without renaming projects on one platform or the other. One is for my engineers, the other is for our customers tracking. The two do not use the same formatting.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Enterprise

The owner of the company opted for Enterprise because of the PO tracking ability and being able to track multiple companies in one piece of software instead of paying per company like QB online. However, the tracking is for PO's we create and that is not how our company works. The PO's are given to us by our customers. Pro would have fulfilled our needs in this case.

Vorteile

Quickbooks is really user friendly for the small business owner once it's up and running. It does a great job of integrating the core financial functions that all small businesses have, and really helps to streamline tax liabilities into an understandable and manageable format. The reporting features are simple and easy to use. I love that it has apps that integrate into it that can better cover the areas that Quickbooks doesn't rally cover, such as benchmarking.

Nachteile

There are a whole host of Quickbooks products that are good individually and that we either use currently or have used in the past (QB payroll , Full Service Intuit Payroll, Quickbooks Online, Quickbooks Self-Employed). One would think that by all being Quickbook products, that they would integrate well with one another and that data could be easily transferred from one product to another...definitely NOT the case. I've spent countless excruciating weeks trying to get my data transferred from QB desktop to QB online, and for another business from QB online to QB Desktop. Quickbooks Payroll and Intuit Payroll don't transfer over easily either. There is no way to migrate data between Self-Employed and the next level of QB. It's a bit mind-numbing. On some of the products, they promise support in migrating data, but in our experiences over the years, support is rarely able to actually fix the problems and will often tell you they will call you back after being on the phone for long periods of time, but then won't tell you when they'll call and if you miss the call, they will mark your case as resolved. Despite their clear and present flaws, I continue to use them, as the products themselves serve the needs of small businesses well - but I dread any time that I need to make a change in a Quickbooks product, as it's always significantly more difficult that it should be.

Vorteile

Not only does quickbooks make bookkeeping seem accessible to anyone with the slightest grasp of numbers, the apps make it easy to keep books up to date on the road.

It is only as useful as the the effort you put into the software. It's not exactly intuitive, but there are many resources to support you as you learn.

It's very easy to find a Quickbooks bookkeeper to work with that can support your business if it's not your speciality while making the transactions easy for both parties.

Specialty apps can add to the functionality of Quickbooks increasing the power of this software.

Nachteile

Because the detail pulled from the bank can sometimes be quite homogeneous, QBO will try to categorize "Wire" transactions or "checks" to the latest transaction payee. Creating rules to ignore the transactions is tedious and can be confusing to new users of the software that may not realize that its matching to previous transactions.

The new model of "tiering" users and how many functions they access seems a bit suspect to me, but so far, we have not reached any limits so I don't know how this will impact us, if at all.

Vorteile

MILEAGE TRACKING!!!
The software tracks your trips and you later pick business or personal for each trip. It shows you the address for both origina & destination, as well as time of day, which makes it easy to figure out what the trip was for. QB keeps an updated tally of your mileage deduction for tax purposes.

EASY CATEGORIZATION OF EXPENSES:
Automatically populates transactions from your bank AND credit card accountant into the ledger, so all you need to do is select which expense category it belongs t! Qb will ask if you want to set up a “rule” so that all transactions from AT&T (let’s say) are automatically categorized into utilities when they are imported from your financial institution.

INVOICES
Create a template and you can duplicate it later when billing the same person/business. You can easily send the invoice from the QB platform and what the client get s is a really professional, polished email with the invoice in the body of the email, and he receiver can download a pdf if they choose. QB keeps track of paid and unpaid invoices, making it easy to see who you need to follow up with for payment.

TAXES:
For tax purposes, the reports QB does make saving and tallying receipts a *ridiculous* practice. There is NO reason to ever do your books on excel. Too many mistakes when things are done manually. And it requires SO much time to input amounts, categories, etc. This is all done for you in a fraction of the time using QB Self-Employed.

Nachteile

CHART OF ACCOUNTS:
I switched which credit card I use as my business card and want to stop automatically importing transactions from the old credit card (which I am now using for personal expenses). You can’t turn off imports for a particular account without losing all former transactions associated with that card/account. This completely changes the Profit and Loss reports. I had to call customer service and they had to do a whole delete thing where now all transactions from deleted accounts are called “cash,” which is misleading and unclear.

INCOME:
There is only one income category to choose from. I have to classes of self-employed work I do that uses the same bank account and credit card. I’d like a way to assign Income A and Income B, so that when I look at my Profit & Loss reports, I can see at a glance how much I earned from type A kind of work and how much I earned from Type B.

EXPENSE CATEGORIES
There is no way to add or change the provided categories. I understand QuickBooks does this so that each category that is offered is automatically associated with a particular tax deduction item approved by the IRS, but it would be nice to be able to add a category that suits my business and select the associated IRS deduction category when setting it up.

INVOICES
You can’t make up your own invoice numbers. I would like use the same first 2 numbers or even letters for each client I invoice, but you can’t. You have to use QB’s automatic numbering system.

Vorteile

Many years ago and before Quickbooks was around I had to take an accounting class so I could learn the old school way of balancing the books for my one woman small business at the time. Thank goodness those days are over! Quickbooks has made it so that you don't need to know a thing about the technical side of accounting to be able to keep accurate accounts for your small business. I did hire a bookeeper to setup my accounts which is highly recommended but beyond that once I learned to use the software (which has been very easy and user friendly) I have been able to take over my record keeping on my own. Another thing that I think makes QB great is that many bookkeepers know how to use it so if I do eventually hire someone to help with my books I won't have to worry about them not knowing how to use it. I also really love in the online version how all my bank transactions automatically populate into the account--oh this is such a headache relief! I really hated doing that manually when I had the desktop version. This definitely saves time and hassle!

Nachteile

I used to use Quickbooks desktop edition and then about a year ago I switched to the online version. One thing I did not like about the desktop version was that after my version had been updated by a new one I was not longer able to send invoices via email. This pretty much forced me to upgrade to the new version even though I was quite happy using the version I was already using. Also I found the transition to the online version to be a little bit disorienting. The look and feel of the online version is not quite the same as what I was used to in desktop and I have had a bit more difficulty finding my way around. I was also very disappointed to learn that my online QB data does not automatically transfer into TurboTax--an issue that I did not have with the desktop version where it automatically uploaded into TurboTax. While it's not a huge hassle to manually enter the info, it is still extra work that would rather not have to do.

Vorteile

Once I got the hang of QuickBooks, it was very useful. In general I like it and it makes accounting relatively easy. One caveat is that I am an attorney and I have to do relatively complicated trust accounting in QuickBooks. I found it extremely difficult to figure out how to properly set things up initially to do all of this correctly in QuickBooks. I would say it was the single thing that caused me the most stress in the first two years of my law firm. However, with the help of a couple of third-party books, and some online guides from third parties, I finally was able to figure out how to set things up properly, and once I did that things ran pretty smoothly. I still have my own little "guides" that I have written for myself to remind me of all the steps to do different tasks - but even having to follow those guides, QuickBooks is reliable and quick. I really like how quick and easy reconciliation is. As an attorney I am retired to do reconciliation for the trust accounting - with QB it is so easy that I generally do reconciliation once a week as opposed to once a month, and this really gives me the peace of mind to know that everything lines up. I do like, in reconciliation, that QB is able to almost always accurately tag items to their appropriate transactions/accounts so that I just have to click that it is correct. I am able to set up QB to automatically download backups of my company file to cloud backups like OneDrive and DropBox, which is great.

Nachteile

QB occasionally tags things wrong in reconciliation - for example I have a trust account where client funds are held before they are earned and a separate business savings account, and they both earn interest. When I earn interest on both accounts, however, QB consistently tags them both as interest on my trust account, which is incorrect. Also, QB does not allow for more complicated splitting of transactions. I have a third party payment processor (LawPay) and on one occasion I received funds from a client and processed a partial refund to a client on the same day. In my trust account, however, this only processes as a net deposit. There is no way in QB to split this transaction into both a partial refund to one client and a payment from another client, so when I do reconciliation this transaction consistently pops up (it has been doing this for over a year), so in EVERY reconciliation I have to just ignore it. This is annoying. Also, QB online does not have all the functionality I need for law firm trust accounting, so I had no choice but to go with the desktop version. I would have liked to have had the option of using the cloud version so that I could more easily use the software on my desktop and also on my laptop while traveling. Instead, I can install the software on my desktop and my laptop, but I can't really use the software on my laptop and have it sync - rather my laptop is useful if I need to recover my file and then switch to using my laptop only.
