Money Saver Decision

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it for extra QuickBooks subscription for personnel , so they could work on the bookkeeping during tax season. It was cheaper then getting user through QuickBooks or a stand alone server. We moved whatever file they needed to work on and when done bring it back to where QB was stored for me to review, reclass and do year end journal entries.

Pros

  • They always responded to technical issues quickly.
  • There pricing is reasonable
  • They are secure

Return on Investment

  • Saved me two extra users to QuickBooks which prices kept increasing for Accountants with Payroll.
  • It allowed me to focus on tax returns which my billable hours are more then data entry and not have to stop in QuickBooks for someone to use my computer.

Best bang for the buck!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work for a nonprofit organization in Georgia and have always maintained our server to host our Sage 50 accounting program. Due to the cost and time requirements, I was tired of carrying the server myself and upgrading it when necessary. I contacted Ace Cloud Hosting and spoke to a very knowledgeable gentleman who appeared to be interested in nothing but pleasing me and satisfying my requirements. I was pleased to learn that the quoted price for hosting and access was indeed the final price. They do daily backups automatically and maintain the data in multiple locations across the U.S. When I decided to move to Ace Cloud Hosting, the onboarding was easy and quick. All three of our employees who use Sage have their desktop, and we can each modify it however we’d like. I highly recommend this outstanding hosting company.

Pros

  • Very fast at responding to tech support requests
  • Tech support solved our issues the very first time
  • Their quoted price is indeed the price--no hidden fees were added on
  • Their basic fee offered all of the features that we needed

Cons

  • I have no recommendations for improvement

Most Important Features

  • They are honest and reliable
  • Their pricing is reasonable
  • Backups are maintained at more than one location
  • They have never tried to talk me into purchasing something that I didn't need

Return on Investment

  • I used to maintain our server myself, costing more money and time
  • I was facing $6,000 in server upgrades when I decided to switch to Ace Cloud Hosting
  • Using Ace Cloud Hosting has been cheaper than maintaining my own server

Hosting QuickBooks Server is easy with Ace Cloud Hosting

  • They asked all the right questions the first time.
  • They are helpful on their documentation and allowing us to train on using the system.
  • They sent detailed email on how to log in and use the system.

Cons

  • I didn't have any bad experiences. They were extremely helpful

Most Important Features

  • Cloud hosting near our office.
  • Easy setup and configuration
  • Attention to detail

Return on Investment

  • Our QuickBooks server is now hosted outside the company so support will be easier to accomplish.
