My use of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise
In addition, the few times that I have needed support, i.e. through MS upgrades, the tech support provided the help that I needed.
- payroll
- federal and state filings
- search and sort vendor transactions
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise - A long time constant good for the medium size business
- Easy of use
- a lot of off the shelf integrations
- cannot natively print price tags for our products. It can print bar code, but not easily print price tags .
- I think the cost per user for an off the shelf product is a little high.

- Quick customer info look up
- Check writing
- Making administrative changes without having to switch to single user
- Assigning a number automatically to credit memos
- Needing supervisor override to make changes
I can't think of any company that would not be able to use this and love it.
Qucikbooks Desktop Enterprise is a great SMB ERP.

- AP Approval Process requires separate App. (Not well integrated)
- Not Online (Cloud-based) Solution
- Doesn't seem to be evolving along with capabilities of QuickBooks Online (Seems stuck in the past)
Is QuickBooks right for you business? Probably!!
- Invoicing
- Po's
- Receiving
- Easy to search for data
- More standard reports
QuickBooks is really all you need to run a business
QuickBooks makes accounting and audit preparation very simple and straightforward. It is easily customizable for each different company. Cash management is also very easy using the registers and the hundreds of customizable reports generated monthly and annually.
- Processing payments is easy with memorized transactions and last entered detail
- Vendor history is easily accessed on demand
- Customizable reports serve the trustees well
- Annual audits are quick and easy with everything in one place
- The software becomes "cranky" more often than I would like. A quick data scan on the server usually helps, but if I am out the staff get pretty stressed.
- Record Retention is not working with QuickBooks. Should there be legal action requesting records for 20 years ago the records will be there - not advisable.
- Upgrades are quite time consuming as I have to "touch" every computer using the software.
Access by multiple staff concurrently reduces frustration of having to wait for access to a company's records and processes.
Staff do not have to have accounting degrees to be able to manage company records because QuickBooks generates the path for each entry that gets the data entered correctly for basic accounting principles and audits.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is quick and easy
- Easy to use - Intuitve
- Easy to customize
- Allows multiple users
- Sometimes the shared database engine gets messed up and the server needs to be restarted - that shouldn't happen
- Deep reporting and analysis tools are severely lacking
- Security is not as tight as I would prefer
- Really wish it would prompt to take credits and discounts when paying bills
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Review
- Detailed organization of financial information
- Several security measures and double check systems to ensure incorrect entries aren't made. This prevents accidental errors and protects the company from fraud.
- Ease of overall use
- Reporting can be as detailed or as general as you prefer. Each report allows you to look at the overall picture or access specific details of each aspect of the company financials.
- The system is not intuitive. Without training or guidance from another user familiar with the program, it can be difficult to navigate.
- Remote access requires a third party.
- Bank Feeds can be finicky when trying to load transactions. There are frequent connection issues and errors.
