Avantage PRO vs. QuickBooks Online Advanced

QuickBooks Online is an excellent, comprehensive program for managing a business's accounting and finances, as well as payroll. It also has good support, if you're willing to pay extra for it. However, I wish the integration with some third-party apps was smoother. It integrates with other programs, but the process is often cumbersome and requires extra steps.

• It allows us to link to bank accounts in order to get up-to-date, real-time information, which is so important in today's lightning speed work world.
• The "canned" reports are excellent and allow for extreme customization also. This makes them very helpful to both me and my clients.
• The user interface for QuickBooks Online Advanced is easy to navigate and is intuitive for novices. The screens are well laid out and have cohesiveness on each screen to match tasks with others that match up well.

• Proper advice in QuickBooks Online Pro for the usage if QuickBooks Online Advanced will be more efficient.

• The stability of QuickBooks Online Advanced can still be better.
• There are still file-size issues and limitations on transactions and attributes of transactions.

QuickBooks has a few things that still need worked out. As they have grown the software has become more functional and robust. This growth has allowed QuickBooks to remain our main software because it has grown and advanced with us. I look forward to seeing more changes and upgrades as the years go on

I find it incredibly easy to use. I own a bookkeeping company, and all of my clients use QBO. I like the reports that are available and the ability to customize reports. I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 because some of my employees (who are not tech-savvy) find the changing platform difficult to use.

In the 5 years I have been using it, I cannot recall there ever having been an outage or not being able to access the system. Sure, there are issues with internet speeds sometimes that are unrelated to Intuit but it is a very reliable system.

Since we do not integrate the software with other systems, I do not have any issues with speed related to that. Pages tend to load pretty quickly, but there are times when reports or other pages take a little longer to load than usual. It is not an overly frustrating amount of time, though, and it happens infrequently.

The online training is good enough.

10 – We were very satisfied with the implementation process. It was straightforward, required minimal change management, and did not disrupt our operations. The platform was easy to set up, and our team was able to adopt it quickly without extensive training. Overall, the implementation was efficient and aligned well with our expectations.

After using QBO, QBDP is marvelous. Take a cue from the desktop version. Vendor, Customer and Employee centers are great. Reporting is okay, but I can live with that. Payroll is excellent and I even file and pay my own taxes. I like that control. The fact that you can open multiple windows at one time is a God send. I do post mortems on all of the jobs and I may have 5 reports open at one time. (This would not be necessary if your reporting was better, linking more of QBDP database.) Everyday I am interrupted in a task to do a new one and I can go to exactly where I was in the previous task because I have multiple windows open. I am not going to stop harping on this until you do something about it. ALSO, I am not using your AI in QBOA

Software is very flexible

• Moving from QuickBooks Desktop where there was only an upfront one-time software acquisition cost to an annual subscription of $2,500 per entity is costly for two non-profit organizations.
• In over a year using QuickBooks Online Advanced, we have not had to pay anything for support.
