QuickBooks Desktop – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

I like the ease of being able to have multiple accounts at the touch of your fingertips. It is also pretty easy to set up and maintain.

Nachteile

The cost is high for a small business. And, service has been very difficult at times. I tried to switch to on-line and it was a nightmare and then going back to desk top was also a nightmare. My recommendations is to stick with one and make sure you back up often.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Desktop

It had more features that I needed for my business.

Vorteile

QuickBook Desktop for Mac is the application I used. I like it better than QuickBooks Online, as it has more features and functionality.

Nachteile

The cost has become astronomical, and customer support has become poor in recent years. I've used QB since 1999. The company has changed and has outsourced support. Many times to people with very heavy accents. As a small business owner, my time is valuable, and spending more time asking support personnel to repeat themselves is frustrating and time-consuming. Once, I had to do the math for the customer service rep, who couldn't figure out that I was due some money from a credit card transaction.

Vorteile

QuickBooks Desktop is experienced in financial management

Nachteile

The part of costing and making estimates is challenging.

Vorteile

Ease of use and able to customize to fit our businesses' desires and needs. We can create custom reports, invoices, Chart of accounts to help us to track our business' financial health.

Nachteile

Cost. Since it's a paid software, some of us finds its cost a bit high especially for small businesses and or freelancers with limited budgets

Vorteile

QB Pro is versatile enough to handle all of the different things our business needs to track. We have 3 different jobs within this company that need to be closely tracked.

Nachteile

I do not like that it requires different subscriptions for multiple users. We have 2 subscriptions and when the 3rd person is occasionally in the office, I am not able to use it. Also we had a major glitch in the payroll one week that could not be explained other than I chose not to update, the moment I was asked.

Warum QuickBooks Desktop gewählt wurde

We had no customer support for Sage Business works. If we had a problem, no one was available to help solve it.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Desktop

We do not have reliable internet service in our area and would not be able to fully utilize that product.

Vorteile

This product is so easy to use. It has so many features and makes my job so much easier.

Nachteile

I wish I could take it on the go or use it when I am working from home, but I guess that is what QuickBooks Online is for.

the customer service is almost nonexistent and when you run a report for a certain day, when you come in the next morning and do a deposit, it's stuck on the date you ran the report for the previous day.

Vorteile

Quickbooks is a very user friendly software that not only tracks inventory but tracks orders, user accounts and point of sale. It syncs well from other compatible software and makes accounting fun and easy!

Sometimes the inventory on orders needs to be double checked after syncing from another software over to quickbooks to ensure numbers match

Shift to subscription service, much preferred upgrading QB on an as needed basis.

QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Desktop

I chose QuickBooks Desktop over another software firstly because my client was more familiar with the features. Regarding certain features, the price per quality was better.

It's a bit sluggish to load at times and crashes or freezes occasionally.

QB desktop offers plenty of customization tools to allow you to maximize its features for your business. You can create and save many different custom reports and its ease of use allows you to find discrepancies in your data more efficiently.

QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Desktop

QB desktop was a better fit for our business.

Vorteile

Invoicing, having Quickbooks to keep track of who has paid and who is overdue.

Nachteile

Payroll it’s more expensive than other competitors.

Vorteile

QuickBooks Desktop is easy to learn and to teach others, who have never used it. It integrates with other software, like UPS and credit card processing, so that you don't have to manually post.

Nachteile

We use estimates for our customers. When we are finished, we turn the estimates into invoices, but the estimates don't go away. Have to manually delete the estimates--would like to have these eliminated automatically when invoice is made.

Vorteile

I like that they made entering bills much simpler by adding AI to review each doc before giving it to me.

Nachteile

One thing I don;t like is that the AI they have reviewing each bill will just say 51.2 then the system will read it as 51.02 and not 51.20.

Vorteile

It's intuitive and very comprehensive. User friendly and easily accessible from mobile devices

Nachteile

If you have too many users it becomes pricey, it's more suitable for smaller businesses than for larger ones. We had to switch when we became corporate because Quickbooks was not cost effective for us anymore

Vorteile

reliable and easy accounting software to use

Nachteile

the inventory management portion of the software

NetSuite

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Desktop

simplicity of deployment and cost efficiency at the time

Vorteile

Used to be a good system. However, I believe it will be end of life soon. Inuit pushing users to their Online solution.

Nachteile

Crashed quite a bit when deployed with many users.

Vorteile

I've been using Quickbooks Desktop Mac for more than 20 years. I love it. It's perfect for my small business and the two additional "companies" I've set up for personal and rental property transactions.

Nachteile

No complaints, except now the company, through huge price increases, is forcing everyone into the online version, which will also be unaffordable for my setup. I don't have three "real" companies, but the online version offers no flexibility to address that. I'm actively looking for an alternative.

Vorteile

Love the report centre. It has everything

Nachteile

Takes more time than online version and obviously you need to be where you're desktop is located. Online can be done from anywhere.

Vorteile

The simple and easy to use interface. Everything works so smoothly.

Nachteile

No complaints, this tool has enabled me to run my financial records with ease.

Vorteile

QuickBooks desktop is the most comprehensive accounting software that we’ve ever used for our small business.

Nachteile

The ability to log in remotely. At the very least the ability to review our books remotely.

Vorteile

Perfect software for a small company looking to keep things organized.

Nachteile

Limitations without purchasing additional features or upgraded service plans. Feature locked behind paywalls. Cost per user for a file and software that is locally hosted seems a bit absurd and data access being limited after your subscription is horrendous. Customer service is non-existent.

Vorteile

I like the fact that we can customize the the reports in QuickBooks as per our needs and it is even easy to do it.

Nachteile

Our main issues with QuickBooks desktop was storage. We constantly faced data storage issues leading to slow down of the system

Vorteile

The features in a software as opposed to QBO are unmatched! It's easy to move around the software & enter data, create invoices, pay bills & create reports. I LOVE the desktop version as it allows the user to quickly perform tasks.

Nachteile

I do NOT like that the software changed the 1099 prep feature to an interview process. I know what I need to do & the original feature was quicker, cleaner and easier to use.

Vorteile

The QuickBooks desktop has an east to use user interface. It is easy to use a to teach a new user . Learning new features is easy to accomplish.

Nachteile

I least like the menu, it can be tricky to find what you were looking for exactly.

Vorteile

Ubiquitous. Streamlines efficiency in use with multiple clients.

Nachteile

Price has become exorbitant, and required annual renewals. Support is extremely difficult to get.

Vorteile

QuickBooks is very easy to use. You can actually design it for your own company.

Nachteile

I didnt have any issues with QuickBooks I love this program.

Vorteile

The ease of creating invoices for our business and the user friendly features.

Nachteile

Have not had anything I do not like about QuickBooks

Vorteile

Much cheaper than the monthly online subscription, and was able to teach myself most of the functions necessary to do my own bookkeeping

Nachteile

No automatic back up like using the online version. A little confusing about where payments received or statement/receipts go to "unapplied funds" but then you have to select each payment in deposits. Balancing each account is not intuitive like in online version. If you don't create back up file, and have data loss (happened to me) it's a pain to recreate everything for a year. Also, if you run a mobile business like mine, you have to manually enter receipts and invoices.

Vorteile

It covers almost any scenario you can imagine.

Nachteile

I have used the software for 20+ years now. From the beginning, it has been great bookkeeping software. I also use the payroll portion. Quickbooks has become extremely expensive over the last few years. If you are just getting started, I would highly recommend you find a less expensive bookkeeping software.

Vorteile

It’s easy to use. I’m familiar with it and I can zip through my days.

Nachteile

I’m not familiar with some of the online features

Vorteile

I find it easy to use once you know what you've used a feature a few times.

Nachteile

Asking me to sign in to my Intuit account periodically. Also heard they are phasing it out. I don't want it in the cloud.

Vorteile

Best software for small business.
Very user-friendly and minimal errors.

Nachteile

No controls or segregation of duties at all which might be a good thing in small businesses but bad for mid-size

Vorteile

I love that I can run as many companies as I want under the same desktop subscription. The price is good, and the user interface is crisp & clean, unlike some online software I have used.

Nachteile

It's less efficient / automated to collaborate on a company file with Desktop Pro, than online accounting software.

Vorteile

Ease of use. The tabs are very logical to use and find how to do anything.

Nachteile

That the software is being phased out to be replaced by QB online.

Vorteile

Intuitive multifunction interface and ease of use

Nachteile

occasional crashes require reinstalling software

Vorteile

Local setup and much secure. For a small team this is a great setup. Especially for us, as we wanted to integrate with our CRM software.

How intricately you can code items in different accounts

Nachteile

Sometimes experience glitch issues with payroll section also experience delays in processing sometimes which can be confusing.

No option to make mass changes, instead of one by one.

Vorteile

Quickbooks Desktop is easy to use. I like the workflow home page on the program. I was able to quickly work through accounting and invoicing.

Desktop is discontinuing so many features, which is very frustrating. I was constantly getting logged off all the time. It was also very hard to only be able to access the program from my office computer.

Vorteile

It was very convenient being able to use multiple business on the same software.

Nachteile

The set up was confusing and hard to customize for beginners.

Vorteile

Not friendly . Always issues continuous rebooting . Issues with updates . Spent hours over the years on the phone sorting out issues

Nachteile

I used quick books desktop for 14 years . Sold out business , and the way I could it to finish year end was to pay them $160/ month . They would not even let me disable the payroll section , even when not needing it anymore . They shut you down immediately and you cannot even go back to review anything you need from the prior 14 years .
They will take your money no problem

Vorteile

very easy to use with a good layout that made finding what you needed easy

Nachteile

After some updates things got moved around which made it difficult to find things. There also is less compatibility with other software's when compared to Quickbooks Online

QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu QuickBooks Desktop

Because I had been using it for years prior and was familiar with the layout and knew how it functioned. it's also very easy for first time users

Vorteile

Simple program to use. Reports are good

Nachteile

I haven't found any cons for our type of business

Vorteile

Most existing accounting pros know this software well enough to jump into a client copy or backup copy to send back to the client etc. For years, this has been the value play in accounting software due to being able to host multiple companies under one subscription. Features are plentiful, more than you'll probably need unless you're running a large operation with many accounting staff.

Nachteile

Lack of cloud based development environment is the number one con for QuickBooks Desktop Pro. It seems like much more (friendly) integration is available through QuickBooks Online
