QuickBooks Enterprise

Pros

What I liked most about QuickBooks Enterprise is how it handles large amounts of data and keeps everything organized in one place. It makes managing finances, tracking inventory, and running reports much easier, especially for bigger businesses. The customizability of features is also great because you can tailor it to fit your specific needs.

Cons

What I liked least about QuickBooks Enterprise is that it can be a bit complicated to set up and learn, especially if you're not familiar with accounting software. It also tends to be more expensive than other options, so it might not be the best fit for smaller businesses with a tight budget.

Pros

Being able to track the fact who paid and who didn't and track your overall income

Cons

The fact that you have all this data tied up and are forced to pay the monthly fee whatever it is. Hard to switch

Pros

Easy to navigate, this version of QB allows for the use of source deductions for pastors in payroll (QBO does not), online so multiple users can use it,

Cons

They don't have updated options (such as bulk entering multiple receipts/donations at once - for example e-transfers - I get 60 per week and have to enter each one individually). I reached out and that is definitely not something they have or plan to have at this point. They don't release updates for things like payroll until a week or more later than it should be.
They just increased my monthly rate by more than double (55%) without warning. They said the 3 user option we use is no longer available but instead of letting us know that and letting us know we are being grandfathered in at 3 user and the price was "adjusted according to current pricing", we just suddenly get a bill for more than double the amount. That's a huge hit to the budget - especially for a non-profit. They said we could go down to a single user but then we lose the payroll option.
I feel like there is a general lack of concern for their customers and the product usability overall.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

Pros

Reporting capability and user controls, security settings.

Cons

Cost, but still fair compared to comparable products.

Pros

Integrations with any system make using the product seamless

Cons

Customer support doesn’t try very hard to answer the question

Pros

Quick books enterprise has a strong feature set, scalability, and ability to accommodate small businesses with more complex financial needs

Cons

The price is quite reasonable, especially considering the value it offers compared to similar products. While the PC version has some issues, its affordability makes it an appealing choice.

Pros

TONS OF FEATURES!!! From Estimating process, all the way to processing payments, Quickbooks has been our go to for years

Cons

The only thing I don't like about Quickbooks Enterprise, is the huge price increases every year. It does get a bit rough for small businesses after a while

Pros

Quickbook Enterprise was a step up in their versions

Cons

It was a little too basic and we were unable to be as efficient as we wanted to be and include integrations

Pros

Its a very detailed app that keeps our business running.

Cons

Sometimes it can be too detailed and often can have space issues.

Pros

It is useful for time management and payroll.

Cons

Application error happens too often. Tools are limited.

Pros

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).

Cons

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).

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

Pros

I'm consistently impressed by QB Enterprise's interface. It shows you everything you need for the task you're working on and doesn't ask you to learn little tricks added to the system for aesthetic purposes that get in the way of functionality.

Cons

I've found its integration with Microsoft Office to be somewhat unstable. Connecting the software to Outlook for invoicing has not been an easily process even for our IT department, and sometimes it experiences problems exporting reports to Microsoft Excel which require the report to be rerun. But these are minor issues that don't get in the way of my usage of the program.

Pros

User friendly and easy to use at every working level, especially to check the details from top to front level. Its reporting and presentation are excellent.
As its name QuickBooks is very quick to understand.

Cons

Its little to change in style from horizontal to vertical presentation of reports,

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

Pros

It's been a lifesaver for managing my complex business finances. I especially appreciate the advanced inventory tracking, job costing, and customizable reports.

Cons

The steep learning curve and complexity of QuickBooks Enterprise can be a challenge. Especially for users who are new to accounting software, it can take some time to get familiar with all the features and functions.

Pros

The accompanying 3 cool highlights of QuickBooks Venture are invigorating.
Client prepayments: Here we can undoubtedly record and track client prepayments and stores on deals orders. Then consequently apply the installments when deals orders are switched over completely to a receipt.
Thing classification upgrades: we can oversee stock all the more actually with far reaching staggered order. We can now set granular estimating rules by classifications in Cutting edge valuing to assist with working on the primary concern.
Simpler HR organization: Directors get proactive notices that let them know when a profile is deficient, empowering quick development and further developed efficiency.

Cons

Despite the fact that Quickbooks is a main ERP on the lookout, I tracked down following not many drawbacks to the product.
Far less computerization apparatuses than cloud bookkeeping programming like Oracle Fusion or net suite.
Reports could be more straightforward to channel and sort.
Receipt structures could be more adaptable.
Matching up credits in Cover Bills can be testing, particularly on the off chance that you commit an error.

Pros

i really liked Quick books because it has easy access to my own business was online and i got to try it for free before i invested on it

Cons

The tax deductions were hard at first , not so easy and still had to pay a certain fee no matter what my bottom line was

Pros

This is not a bad program for smaller companies. This is decent for under 10 employees and smaller SKU quantities. Easy to learn and manage for new users. Would be good for most small service companies.

Cons

Constant crashing and spending hours on the phone with support. Self "corrupting" company files are the worst. Not an issue with a real ERP system. The accounting basically eventually becomes un-trustable because as you enter data, random stuff corrupts and you cannot fix it without paying a professional to rebuild your entire company file. Awful.

Pros

Robust and powerful accounting software capable of recording everything needed.

Cons

Reporting can get complicated and not all data points can be filtered for. Also when running in multi-user, there is certianly a need to be careful of the capabilities of anyone allowed to make changes in the books. Granular user controls are ok but take someone very familiar with QB to be confident they are applied in the desired manner. The software can run slowly at times.

Pros

The features of QuickBooks Enterprise have been brilliant.
It is a top and collaborative solution.

Cons

I do not dislike QuickBooks Enterprise at all.
QuickBooks Enterprise is amazing.

Pros

QuickBooks Enterprise is a feature-rich, powerful accounting solution designed for businesses that need more than basic financial management. Its scalability, customizable reports, and integration options make it a great choice for growing companies looking to optimize financial operations.

Cons

While QuickBooks Enterprise is powerful, it comes with a significant cost and complexity. It may be overwhelming for small businesses, and the lack of advanced automation and mobile functionality may leave some users wanting more. Nonetheless, for larger businesses with in-house accounting expertise, the software's comprehensive capabilities can still be a good investment.

Pros

QuickBooks Enterprise is packed with advanced features designed to meet the needs of medium to large-sized businesses. It offers everything from inventory management and advanced reporting to industry-specific tools that are hard to find in other accounting software. For businesses with complex accounting needs, this is a comprehensive solution.

Cons

One of the biggest drawbacks is the cost. Quikbooks Enterprise is significantly more expensive than other versions of QuickBooks and other accounting software.

Pros

Easy to navigate, even for beginners. It offers Powerful reporting tools and integrates smoothly with third-party apps, saving time.

Cons

The pricing can be high for smaller businesses, and the advance features have a bit of a learning curve.

Pros

I like that it is super easy to integrate with a lot of other invoicing elements. It had great tech support, great documentation, and great online help. Great marketing for a wide range of industries. Intuit's QuickBooks is a great accounting solution for small businesses because it is easy to use and offers good support. It optimizes the supply chain, is very flexible and organized so that you can manage it and effectively monitor progress

Cons

Software update process and stability is not good enough. Sometimes files are corrupted and need to be repaired. Making mistakes and trying to fix them can be painful. Some objects have multiple debug operations. Sometimes the software crashes and I have to restart it to get it working again. It's quite annoying. If used only in simple applications, the cost can be prohibitive. The software can do much more than a user can realize.

Pros

Each and every feature is quite easy to use and overall its very intuitive. Adding Vendors, Customers, Bills, recording journal entries is quite easy. Anyone using QB for the first time can easily work through and understand the features by themselves.

Cons

Quickbooks takes a bit longer to open. Nothing else in terms of the QB's features which require any improvement.

Pros

One of the standout features of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is its robustness in handling complex accounting needs, including advanced inventory management, customizable reporting, and support for multiple users. Additionally, its scalability makes it suitable for growing businesses with expanding requirements.

Cons

its steep learning curve for new users, limited cloud functionality compared to online versions, and the need for regular updates and maintenance.

Pros

Its a great solution for accounting business and it also have a easy to use for user making it a powerful software to be use by everyone

Cons

Even with all the cons this software is a bit to expensive for small businesses that just started making it not affordable .

Pros

QuickBooks is easy to use, has comprehensive features, it also has cloud-based accessibility where you can access your financial data. It also excels in automating mundane accounting tasks like invoicing, etc. QuickBooks also has powerful reporting tools and an excellent customer support.

Cons

Its probably the pricing structure that offers an array of pricing options. Some users may find the monthly fee relatively high, especially for more advanced plans. Another is limited customization for reporting.

Pros

QuickBooks is known for being intuitive for a reason - it's checkbook style interface makes the user feel comfortable and familiar with the transaction process. In addition, the ability to edit previously entered transactions (with some limitations) gives the user confidence that they are not risking making an irreversible entry or at least a complex un-winding process.
The reporting function supplies almost any type of report you can think of with the ability to customize the "out-of-the-box" reports. Comparative financials for year-to-date are easily done (something that NetSuite doesn't do without manipulating the report date ranges manually).
The subscription costs are by seat and represent one of the best values in the accounting software universe.

Cons

My biggest problem with QuickBooks in the inability to separate the receipt and billing of inventory. One replaces the other depending on the order of events. So if you want to keep your AP aging true, then you are either going to need to change your date of receipt from the actual to the billing date which can create problems when reconciling inventory, or you will need to manually change the due date.
If you are dealing with multiple related entities (subsidiaries, companies, etc.) and you want financials to be specific to that entity you will most likely need to use separate company files. The user is limited to having two company files open simultaneously and any inter-company transactions will need to be duplicated in both company files.

Pros

Reliability, Scalability for Small Businesses, Intuitive QuickBooks feel that we all know and love plus a plethora of resources available for help and training. In addition, QuickBooks runs off a SQL server.

Cons

It does take some time to open and close files. Having multiple companies can be cumbersome, but utilizing integrating tools can keep you from opening files for medial tasks.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

Pros

QuickBooks enterprise has a robust feature set and is flexible in how it can be configured to meet industry specific needs.

Cons

In general the processing speed to run reports is quite slow compared to when working with web based ERP systems. This is especially an issue when data files are stored on a server and when the file size gets large.

Pros

I use the Manufacturing edition. The inventory management features are fairly easy to use and understand. Reporting is straight forward with summary and detailed financials.

Cons

Loss of functionality. First thing they took away was the loan manager. Next was interfacing with with my bank directly for bill pay. Instead they added a third party Melio to administer the bill pay through either paper checks or ACH transfers. ACH transfers work relatively well except for the occasional cancelled payment without explanation. Checks can only be written for one invoice and each check costs $1.50. So, for example, if I have a vendor with net 10th terms and 5 invoices from that vendor over a month's time, then Melio can only write 5 checks all to be delivered on the 10th at a cost of $1.50 per check. They also take my money 10 days before the payment is made effectively floating my cash for 10 days. I know these are complaints about Melio but Intuit made the decision to bring them in and it has been a disaster for me. Quickbooks could care less.

Pros

One of the standout features of QuickBooks Enterprise is its scalability. It offers advanced inventory management, customizable reporting, and multi-user support, which are particularly useful for growing businesses. The software also provides robust integration options with other tools and systems, enhancing its versatility for complex business needs.

Cons

The most challenging aspect of QuickBooks Enterprise can be its complexity and cost. The software has a steep learning curve and might be expensive for smaller businesses, especially when considering additional costs for advanced features and support.

Pros

I like most the ability to track inventory.

Cons

I do NOT like the online version. We lost so many functions and workflow process when we went to the "limited" online version from the desktop.

Pros

Quickbooks Enterprise worked well for our company for a while, tracking equipment repairs, inventory of parts and accounting.

Cons

When we had larger numbers of orders in the system, Quickbooks Enterprise slowed down excruciatingly. We would have to wait for the system to update with every change to a new screen and it was wasting productivity time. We also had issues with the order numbers from estimate, to service order, to invoice changing each time, and it confused our customers.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Enterprise

Pros

QB Enterprise is a great software for accounting and bookeeping of a growing startup. It has all the capabilities to service SME sector.

Cons

The pricing could be a little on the lighter side compared to other Accounting software.Client information header can be more exhaustive.

Pros

To my understanding, QuickBooks Enterprise was the best at handling the complicated finances of a business. Most of the enhanced features like reporting, the workflow, integration features were truly a boon to our accounting. Scalability and support for more significant enterprises set it apart from other alternatives for processing complex financial informationchaft.

Cons

I least appreciated QuickBooks Enterprise because of its complicated interface and its difficultly to learn. There are many additional features and configuration details that maybe confusing to a user especially when he is using this application for the first time and therefore the time taken to settle down to using this application can take a lot of time and may demoralize the user. Further, there is the issue of user-interface design because the software can be complex and some of the buttons are closely packed hence not easy to identify.

Pros

QuickBooks Enterprise centralises financial management for all departments, from research labs to student organisations, creating a unified system that simplifies auditing and reporting. The platform is scalable, adjusting to changes in grant funding and student enrollment throughout the academic year. Moreover, it offers advanced tracking that provides new insights into how resources are allocated, which could lead to competition between departments over funding.

Cons

It may sometime have difficulty handling the complex financial setups, like managing endowments or allocating specialised research funds.

Pros

High level Stock Administration: QuickBooks Venture incorporates progressed stock administration highlights, for example, standardized identification examining, chronic number following, and FIFO costing. These instruments assist businesses with effectively following and deal with their stock, diminishing blunders and further developing exactness.

Cons

QuickBooks Endeavor is more expensive contrasted with other QuickBooks forms. The product requires a yearly membership and the cost increments in light of the quantity of clients and extra highlights required. This cost can be a boundary for independent companies with restricted financial plans.
Intricacy: QuickBooks Endeavor is a strong programming with cutting edge highlights, which can make it more intricate and overpowering for clients who are curious about bookkeeping programming. A few clients view the expectation to learn and adapt as more extreme contrasted with other QuickBooks variants.

Pros

I love that QuickBooks is incredibly easy to use, even for someone who isn’t a finance expert. The mobile features are a game-changer, allowing me to manage my business finances on the go. It simplifies bookkeeping tasks and makes owning a business less stressful. Plus, it reduces the need to hire an expensive bookkeeper by giving me the tools I need to stay organized and in control. It’s an all-in-one solution that saves time and money!

Cons

I didn’t like that it took forever to fix a broken feature for adding an accountant. It was frustrating to deal with such a critical issue, especially when time is of the essence for managing finances. This delay impacted the efficiency I’ve come to expect from the platform. I hope QuickBooks improves its response time for addressing technical issues like this in the future.

Pros

For the most part, it is pretty straightforward. QuickBooks is one of the most widely-used software, and it gives the option for an accountant to collaborate with you, making end-of-year, quarterly, etc. tax preparation more simple. It does take a little bit of research and practice to get used to, but it isn't much of a challenge. One could reasonably and comprehensively run a small business just using Quickbooks, which makes it a pretty valuable software.

Cons

It can be glitchy, and especially so if you don't want to use the automations. For instance, if you don't use the AI tax and payroll payments, it is constantly telling you that you haven't accomplished these 'tasks,' and when they are marked complete, it informs you that there is no task. If you pay overtime, you can't use the automated payroll or taxes, so there isn't much of a way to get around this, and it's frustrating. They try to push you towards these automations, but issues like these prevent it and don't allow you to double-check to make sure all of the numbers are in correctly. Additionally, Quickbooks tries to push you towards AI-assisted answers and chatbots, even when they cannot offer you solutions. Sometimes Quickbooks reps can be helpful and sometimes not at all.
