Sage accounting is not very user friendly compare to the QuickBooks Online. When there are adjustments in the vendor accounts, it hard to process in Sage accounting and reconcile the accounts. In QuickBooks Online, it is easy to process the whole accounting with ease. The …
We have mainly only used QuickBooks for the past few years. The last time we evaluated another similar product was Square, and that was probably 5 years ago. QuickBooks was much more robust and, at the time, offered us more features overall than Square did. It just felt like a …
QBO is the cheapest of the mentioned options. It is much easier to navigate than NetSuite. Rillet and Campfire are still pretty new, so they are building out their different functionalities. QBO lacks the strength of the AI native platforms, like Campfire and Rillet, and it …
QuickBooks Online is best for small and mid sized businesses needing simple affordable accounting. Its starting price is from $19. Xero is stronger for collaboration with unlimited users. Their cost starts with 15, and they are good for flexible reports. Netsuite is built for …
QuickBooks is the best overall as it is intuitive and easy to use, whilst meeting the needs of a CFO. Xero is very popular for IFRS reporting standards and the English-speaking countries internationally. MYOB is the most popular in Australia. SAGE is very strong for …
The employer I am currently with already had QuickBooks in place. The other ERP systems are much more robust, however they come with a much steeper price that might not be necessary if the business is in its infancy.
QuickBooks Online makes working with clients in distant states more seamless. When my clients were on Desktop, I had to upload backups for the client to download and execute. They would frequently make changes and not tell me, which would lead to inaccurate reporting at the end …
I only selected QuickBooks online to control the cost of bookkeeping and accounting for my company. Freshbooks was a delight to use, with excellent support, intuitive UI, and easy integrations. The only reason I stay with QuickBooks is because I personally do not have the …
I initially chose QuickBooks Online because I had already used the desktop version and was familiar with the interface. I have not tried any other similar software.
Xero has alot of dead ends, you cant click through to things, you have to go all the way back out, theres no shortcuts, so it takes alot of time. With both, the transactions dont let you know they are connected to a bank feed transactions, you are just assuming they are until …
Sage Intacct is very difficult to use and the inter-face is decades behind QB online. The ease to which one can find and manage information on QB online versus Sage Intacct is remarkable. QB Online is made for people who actually manage and facilitate financial information. I …
Widely adopted by U.S. customers, Stronger tools, easier to download and save. We have been a QuickBooks Online customer for 10 years and the price nearly never increases and always stays roughly the same, and offers richer functionality than Xero. We had Xero mostly when we …
UKG Ready is much more user friendly. We like the functionality of the platform and look. Visually, it is more appealing to our employees. The pre-built reports have been great, and the ability to create or modify them to our needs is appreciated and easy to navigate, making …
I was not present for the decision for the implementation of UKG Ready. I was however present for the changeover, and UKG Ready is so much more robust and clean in terms of reporting and payroll processing. APS is delightfully simple, and I miss it for its time and processing …
Cbiz has an email you send for a ticket and they have been taking more than 2 days to reply-and in some cases a week. it's difficult to keep operating that way.
UKG is much easier to use and customize for our business needs. I enjoy that the time piece is directly connected with the payroll function. This is something that we didn't see when working with Paylocity. There was a manual time data upload that we needed to process into the …
I had limited exposure to UKG pro but it was also fairly complicated to use belt for audit readiness, but it also had much more expensive capabilities which in comparison or superior service. namely was much more user-friendly, but it wasn’t as good of a platform from a …
We currently use Paycom and are extremely dissatisfied with the lack of functionality and poor customer service. Rippling and ADP were other vendors we evaluated who performed well and offer a lot of functionality but we decided UKG was the best fit for our needs now and to …
I appreciate the ability to auto-generate invoices for recurring transactions, which saves time, as well as the option to set up auto-generated transactions. The report option is super helpful when reviewing information, as you can click to view the details in the report without having to go back and forth.
I might recommend UKG to a larger organization than ours. The complexity is rich, but perhaps it is too powerful a tool for what we need. That or it's a bit messy in its construction, having so many tools available but difficult to find or not working appropriately. UKG Ready processes payroll efficiently and with ease, but unless you are using a simple accounting platform it may not be able to easily integrate with yours
Workflows for accounts payable invoice review are terrific.
Bill payment allows you to pay vendors online via ACH or check without having to write a physical check, which reduces admin time.
The cloud based login lends well to a remote or hybrid work environment for staff.
QuickBooks Online allows you to pre-configure vendors' general ledger expense accounts. This helps with general ledger coding accuracy and consistency.
QuickBooks Online integrates with Rippling HRIS, Coast, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase, etc., which lends well to an efficient month-end closing and reduced administrative time.
When you open a ticket, they research and test the answer before they contact you so they know it will work for you. There's no troubleshooting on the phone. All the work was done beforehand.
They are super knowledgeable and supportive. They are a pleasure to work with.
They are way ahead of the game when it comes to technology and innovation.
Purchase Orders cannot be linked to multiple bill payments which makes tracking purchase orders in QuickBooks Online obsolete. Without the function we have to track this within a different more manual spreadsheet.
Would be helpful if you could "split" bank transactions directly from the "review" downloads from the bank. Currently, to split transactions to multiple accounts we need to first categorize, then review after assigning to 1 account.
QBO needs better integration with non-Intuit products and developers need to use Intuit's open API to develop better add-ons. Clients are having a great deal of problems with their data importing from the bank and this takes time away from better revenue producing activities. Although the efficiencies are there, they are outweighted by the shortcomings of the product. When we ran a parallel of QBO versus other cloud accounting products, we had more issues with the QBO product than any other
We have begun looking for other vendors to supply this products need as Kronos WFR cannot deliver the suite of applications which it should with this product. *6/5/17 Edit - We started the new year with a new application. WFR proved to be unable to correct the errors within the application. We are much happier with the new application as we can use it effectively.
I had very little trouble setting up the program and migrating from our old accounting system. The daily usage is also very intuitive and easy. Anytime we run into minor trouble with the program, there are always tons of help available on YouTube, so we don't even look up the online manual anymore.
UKG is the platform with the best overall usability on both an admin and user side. Employees find it easy to update personal information, the dashboards are clear and easy to follow, and the navigation of it is also easy to follow. Overall my favorite platform to use and learn more about.
The system seems very stable. Being hosted in the cloud, we are vulnerable to internet speeds and busy times. The system has been down a couple times over the 3 months we have been live, but Kronos resolved the issues very quickly. To have access from a desktop, tablet, time clock, or phone app is one of the best features....users have almost NO REASON they can't clock in.
We were always told that Kronos was the best, but there are reports that we got out of ADP and other payroll providers that we cannot get out of Kronos. One example is a report of Productive/Non-productive hours by department. We also need the dollar amount associated with the hours. This is information that is required on our cost report and we were told that that report is unavailable. It is very frustrating when I can't get what I need.
In my experience, most representatives keep me on the phone for hours, literally, for a single issue and then usually cannot resolve it satisfactorily. I have 10 open cases that need resolution and, in my experience, there has been NO follow-up communication on any of them.
If I was only rating support itself that would be a 10. Every support case I have entered has been addressed efficiently and with the desired result. On the implementation and transition to support there were multiple issues that those doing the implementation or transition could not answer or workflows and various settings left undone only to be discovered later. We implemented 3 different modules and the expertise we got for each one varied widely.
Our in-person training was a hybrid. Live online training with an instructor. They were very knowledgeable of the product & the area they were training on. I asked several specific questions and if they didn't know the answer immediately they followed up after class.
Pretty good online training, you have many how to options and can watch them several times. It can be hard at times to dig through the amount of data online but can usually find what you are looking for. Also you can download documentation for setting up the profiles and policies.
The person in charge of QB needs to be very accurate with record keeping and is recommended to stay on top of tasks. The biggest issue we have is reconciliation, and those issues occur only when too much time has occurred between reconciliations
Make sure the people who are doing the build have extensive knowledge on employment law and asking the right questions. I would bet that the people who helped with our builds did not read any of our employment contracts or ordinances; and when I asked questions about how other companies handled certain basic dictates from federal employment laws, they didn't have any idea what FMLA, FLSA, etc were.
QBO is the cheapest of the mentioned options. It is much easier to navigate than NetSuite. Rillet and Campfire are still pretty new, so they are building out their different functionalities. QBO lacks the strength of the AI native platforms, like Campfire and Rillet, and it doesn't hang well with NetSuite on inventory.
UKG Ready is much more user friendly. We like the functionality of the platform and look. Visually, it is more appealing to our employees. The pre-built reports have been great, and the ability to create or modify them to our needs is appreciated and easy to navigate, making changes and saving different views for reports.
As we have grown along our professional path, we have also expanded our use of QB. The scalability is easy and features seem to be waiting for you until you need them. We have increased profits by over 10x from our first year in business to the current and have yet to find a reason to look elsewhere
I think the help function is cumbersome and hard to use. When I go to refresh myself on a function, say quarterly, I feel like I have to cast about just looking for it.
The account reconciliation works, but in this place that could benefit from messaging, there are no easy helping functions flagging things like amounts that fit the discrepancy.
Even styling invoices and documents is more cumbersome than it should be.
