Assyr Carvalho Junior Carvalho Junior - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Manages core bookkeeping needs effectively but leaves room for better financial reporting customization
QuickBooks is easy to use. The bank reconciliations are easy to use. Reports, everything is easy. I prefer QuickBooks for small companies. The main benefits that QuickBooks brings to the table is that it is easy to use because a normal person can also do accounting, bookkeeping, and everything. QuickBooks is the best one, and on a scale of one to ten, I would rate QuickBooks as a product and as a solution at ten. QuickBooks' reporting capabilities have helped my strategic decision-making because it still provides the basic information, usually such as account transactions, general ledger, and accounts receivable and payables. I would still suggest QuickBooks for reporting purposes. We can send the documents to clients for review and for signing purposes as well.

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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from its reporting capabilities."
"This solution allows us to outline exactly what data, financial statements, inventory, job costing/budgeting, AP/AR, wage and hour, tax planning/forecasting, or information needed to allow owners and management to make educated business decisions regarding efficient and effective management of business operations, cash management, marketing/sales force management, asset purchases, etc."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of QuickBooks Desktop is its ability to import into QuickBooks Online files easily."
"QuickBooks is easy to use because a normal person can also do accounting, bookkeeping, and everything."
"It gave me excellent tracking of my finances."
"Without QB, we would be a much smaller business."
"The main benefits I have seen from QuickBooks are that it helps our partners do their business impactfully with the help of QuickBooks Online."
 

Cons

"It is not so user-friendly."
"Saving is complicated. If you forget to save, you lose the information; it's terrible."
"The reporting in QuickBooks is terrible and there's no flexibility in it. It only has standard reports that you can modify slightly."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
"You just need to jump through more hoops than is probably necessary to make it happen, but it's a pretty solid product."
"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."
"The pricing of QuickBooks should be more budget-friendly."
"We would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"While the data protection is commendable, there is room for improvement in the dashboard."
"The search functionality in the solution has shortcomings that can be improved in almost every area of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is considered reasonable and reflects the value provided, falling neither in the extremely expensive nor very cheap category."
"The tool's pricing is extremely reasonable."
