report running is little hard to understand. Quick books providing lots of report but for a new person it will take some time to use to it.

Complicated to handle - Not my favorite

I Like tracking inventory, it has great potential, great for keeping track of employees and hours, and good for payroll and handling bank accounts.

Cons

had to hire someone to set it up for the company and explain how the functions work, and still found it difficult.

Easy to use

No

Pros

It is easy to navigate. I like being able to see all of our income and expenses in one location, as well as several different accounts

Customer service is difficult to reach. I would be nice to have a dedicated representative for certain topics

QuickBooks Pro--A Fit for Every Industry

Pros

I have used Quickbooks Pro for over 20 years. This accounting software is designed so that any industry can use it. In addition, Intuit has created specialized software unique to many industries. It is user-friendly and works seamlessly with many other applications. It is the only accounting software that I would recommend as a business teacher, personal user, business owner, and prior software reseller.

Cons

Having a background in accounting, it seemed too easy not using debits and credits. But it was easy to convert!

Dinosaur on its Way to Fossil

Pros

I am hard-pressed to find an enthusiastic pro that I can add here. After years of all the limitations, and looking at other products, can't really praise the beast.

Cons

This software is bloated and uses out of date technology. It's entire substructure is based on Internet Explorer technology. That's right...Internet Explorer. The only real "cloud" solution they offer is to pay (a lot of money) to a third party service to host a remote desktop solution. Companies have been limping along this way for years. Imagine being a Quickbooks consultant to many different clients, all with different databases. Management becomes untenable. Intuit, a giant company with boundless capital continues to build on this ancient technology. It should have started from the ground up to plan for concurrent technologies, but it opted not to do so. Here is an example that happened with our organization. We wanted to move from a local hosted sever instance to a cloud-based version. Quickbooks recommended that we go with Right Networks. Right Networks, but there are major limitations and it adds $4000 a year to the cost of using quickbooks as a solution. But when your controller travels to Equador or Peru, and they need to be able to work, it was our only option. Because Quickbooks has chosen to stick to relic technology, we have this unnecessary added expense. When we moved to the hosted solution, our Enterprise license should have given us Online Backup functionality. However, the hosted instance of Quickbooks kept prompting us to activate online backups. Over and over again. Because, it uses Internet Explorer skinned prompts, it would not allow us to move forward. Quickbooks was not able to assist because it was a hosted solution. At the time of this review, Right Networks was still publishing remote desktop sessions on Windows Server 2008 R2. It is almost 2019. They are using technology that is at least ten years old. Another limitation with Quick Books and Windows Remote Desktop hosted solutions is Microsoft does not allow competing remote disk technology to run on their servers. Some time ago, our company got rid of our file servers and we moved everything to Google Drive (the corporate version). It allows end users to have access to TERABYTES of shared team data without it taking up space on their local workstation. It has turned out to be a beautifully elegant solution. As an event management and production company, our end users are constantly managing receipts. Quickbooks has no way of "browsing" to Google Drive to attach a receipt to a Quickbooks transaction or invoice. And because there is not a true enterprise-class, truly cloud-based offering from Quickbooks, we are not allowed by Microsoft to integrate Google Team Drive into our Quickbooks solution. Effectively, Quickbooks is a true dinosaur well on its way to fossildom. Even outside of our specific "power-user" needs, I have other complaints. The invoice template design functionality is quite literally out of 1992. It is truly an inelegant solution that looks ancient from the moment you open it. Let's say you have 4 accounting assistants producing invoices. If user A created an invoice based on template number 2, then when users C, D and E go to create an invoice, then their template is defaulted to template number 2. This a user-experience headache. Quite often, invoices get generated with the wrong template because of this "feature". If you want to design branded email templates that get generated when sending an invoice, there is no way to customize the email unless you design the email template using Microsoft Outlook. So you are either bound to Microsoft Technologies, with its attendant costs from CALs, Service Licenses etc. Suddenly, owning Quickbooks becomes even more expensive. Because Inuit wants you to use their payment platform (for accepting cards), they do not allow many (if any) 3rd party payment processing platforms such as Authorize.net. Our company has negotiated an aggressive 10 cent per transaction fee with Authorize.net, and Quickbooks can't compete with that, so we cannot even accept payments directly through Quickbooks. If I were a new business looking for an accounting solution, I would tell them to run far away from Quickbooks. It is terribly outdated for a twenty-second century organization.

Great Small Business option

I have used QB for almost 20 years and love the program.

Pros

This is very user friendly. It is easy to correct mistakes, but also gives you the option to lock out the previous year so changes do not get entered accidentally.

Cons

I have had problems with the send accountants copy to accountant option.
Some reports I have to send to excel and manipulate to get what I want. However this can be a pro also.

its a remarkable software that makes accounting easy.

Add more training videos

Pros

It has online functionalities one can work from anywhere with internet access.Bookkeepers can assist clients on remote easily.

Cons

The dashboard isn't so nice.Compared to other online software quick books still has its old school look.

Quick books pro

Pros

it easy to use and run reports, easy to use on your mobile phone send invoices for fast payment. easy to read P & L

Cons

nothing is perfect , it easy to use and run reports and delete transactions but yet keep track of them

QuickBooks is for the person who needs everything

I use QuickBooks Pro because I keep books for the local chamber of commerce. I have to have my own copy to be able to use it on two computers.

Pros

I'm able to share my information with accountants because this is the most widespread accounting package in use I guess.
There are plenty of options available for you to use.

Cons

The products do not allow a person to input or output the data easily, if at all. In order to use the data in another accounting program it is complicated.
The cost of startup and updates is too high.

OK for small business, but forget it for mid-large companies

Do your due diligence before committing to an accounting system. Once you start, it is hard to go to something else.

Pros

Pretty easy to set up and use. Relatively low price for desktop version. Supports most business functions. Specific versions for each country.

Cons

Allows users to perform operations that should not be permitted in an accounting system. Inventory system is cumbersome. Technical support is poor and expensive. Desktop version demands re-purchase every few years to keep functionality.

A Strong Accounting Software

Pros

This is a strong accounting software that offers a number of advanced features with multiple reports available.

Cons

This software can be tricky to learn which can make it hard to use for people that do not have the time to learn it.

Accounting solutions

I bought this package before

Pros

Invoice and quotation are easily done once you complete with your data input. Once you fiqure it out, it even helps with income statement.

Cons

It takes time to fiqure functions out. Its having unique icons and how it execute functions. I struggled to get going

Quick Books Advocate

Pros

After using a couple programs such as Peachtree, we switched to Quick Books. It had made a world of difference in our accounting records. It is so much easier to customize with our accounts and print monthly reports.

Cons

Software up dates can be somewhat pricey, especially for a non-profit organization such as ours. Luckliy they usually are only one a year so it is placed in our yearly budget.

Not very efficient

They really need to have videos for each segment. Online help is not very helpful.

Pros

they do have a sufficient amount of reports to choose from. The general ledger is easy to read. The graphics are good.

Cons

Over all, the program is not very user friendly to get started. I became very frustrated trying to get reports from multiple accounts with specific draw downs.

Very powerful tool.

Pros

There is a lot you can do with Quick Books and for the most part it is pretty straight forward. I would recommend getting some training if you’ve never used it before.

Cons

Some of it is difficult to the hang of. I don’t think it’s a program you want to tackle with no training. There is so you can do but you have to make sure everything is input correctly from the beginning.

Best software to run your small business accounting

Pros

I use this in my business to help me know where my finances are on a daily basis. You can pull reports in seconds, to see your numbers.

Cons

The cons to this software are that you have to pay for the new software each year as they release the updated software.

Exceptional report writing

I find the program very flexible and lets the user work without needless complications. There are plenty of QB Advisers both online and in person to assist you.

Pros

I like the ability to save and customize reports as well as the ability to add accounts on the fly. Saving your reports is terrific. The downloads to Excel are very helpful for analysis. If someone gives me a mess on excel, I will quickly load into QB Pro and straighten out.

Cons

It is very easy to post a journal entry in the wrong period. Some of the selections can be confusing, but with a large user base and good help, anyone can do fine.

this software sums it all in accounting

i think its a great tool for accountability .

Pros

i like this software because you check and balance all the works in a company,be it a restaurant,bookshop or any retailing business.where i work we use quick book in store for all the collective requisitions and accounting.

Cons

it makes work easy and accountable, i can recommend it to any body or company that chooses to monitor their in and out of there products and purchases.

Not my favorite accounting software

My accountant recommended it as it is what the use. They said it up so that they could back door majority of the inputting and as mentioned it does not show up in regular reports

Pros

I like the basic outlay of QuickBooks Pro ,the homepage and the reconcile is quite simple to do as well.

Cons

I do not like the fact that a lot of it is not cross-referenced you have to go into one specific drop down to find the information you want and it should be cross-referenced. I do not like the fact that you have to pay for simple additions like payroll, call support
