    I have used PO systems and corporate-designed systems. These systems were limited because they were all-in-one accounting systems. We chose QuickBooks Online Advanced for the project features, time clock, and price point.

    All (3) other options reviewed were much more costly when compared to QBO. We used QBO for accounting, a plug-in for inventory management, and another for our CRM. All 3 communicate effectively and immediately; there is no delay when moving from one plug-in to another.

    QBO, in my opinion, is the leader of the pack (vs Xero, Zoho Books, etc). If it continues to enhance its software with AI, add more budgeting/forecasting functionalities, etc I think the possibilities are endless.

    I would not recommend QuickBooks Online for any business whatsoever. It doesn't matter how big or how small. The software is completely antiquated, and there's zero customer service. I've already canceled my subscription after 30 years of being a user. If they spent as much time listening to the feedback from the users instead of sending out these pointless reviews, they might be on the right track. I've never had a single response to any feedback that I've given.

    Pros
    Intuit
    • Automated repetitive postings (Monthly, quarterly, & annual).
    • The AI assistant makes pulling detailed reports very simple and supports batch data processing. This has reduced forecast creation time by over 60%.
    • There are a decent number of apps that can be used as QBO add-ons and sync seamlessly with it.

    Cons
    Intuit
    • I would like a manual with instructions for specific tasks, organized by index. That would greatly help novices coming to QuickBooks Online and learning its features. Since bookkeepers are old school (we rely on the same functions we were trained on), we need consistency and easy-to-read instructions.

    It has become second nature to use Quick Books at the company. If you need a report you log in and pull the report. It helps expedite reconciliation of bank accounts, the automation of most tasks make it easy to get mundane tasks completed quickly.

    Usability
    Intuit
    QuickBooks Online Advanced is highly usable and intuitive for most day-to-day financial tasks. Its interface is clear, and core functions such as invoicing, reconciliation, and reporting are easy to perform. While some advanced features like report customization or integrations can be less straightforward, overall the platform offers a smooth and efficient user experience.

    Reliability and Availability

    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.

    Performance
    Intuit
    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.

    Implementation Rating

    I did not participate in this part particularly much. The implementation was simple and easy to perform. There were not any major issues that arose during the process. QuickBooks has made the processes pretty streamless and I believe they had anticipated many difficulties ahead of time. This was easy enough
