We have utilized QB Desktop Enterprise for many purposes. It is our main tool for posting and processing bills, for creating quotes and invoicing clients. We also use the payroll feature and process our bi-weekly payroll as well as monthly government remittances via this tool. We use it regularly for job costing, for reference to past projects, for bank reconciliations and for our year end.
  • Accounts payable.
  • Accounts receivable.
  • Payroll.
  • Reconciliations.
  • Quotes.
  • Job costing.
Cons
  • Creating Invoices as Progress Draws on total quote, not just a part of one or broken down.
Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited, based on its cost, for a medium business. Its focus and functionality is for those who are using it for bill processing, invoice payment, payroll (where needed), regular account reconciliations, regular government remittances, job type breakdowns, etc. It might be less appropriate for a small business, where few transactions are done or where regular postings aren't being used.

QB proves to be user friendly

We use Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise as our accounting software. We currently have 8 companies within our product key. Quickbooks is very user friendly and easy to navigate.
  • the dashboard is easy to follow
  • the software provides warning of duplicates
Cons
  • the reporting within Quickbooks could be upgraded
  • with multiple companies it would be easier if you could toggle between companies easier and have more than one company open at a time
Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited for small companies as we have grown it feels as if we are outgrowing the software. We need more detailed reporting and access to more than two companies at once. It would be easier for large companies if you could compare multiple EINs at once. Currently we have to export to excel from each EIN and manually combine the information. If you could toggle easier between companies or have more than two open this might would be easier.

Great for Manufacturing & Construction!

We use it to keep track of many different Restricted and unrestricted grants and scholarship accounts. We also use it to track different product build out pieces.
We were never able to do either of these this with restrictions in other versions of QuickBooks.
  • Multiple levels of items, with item profitability reports
  • The number of users
  • Union Payroll reporting and job costing
Cons
  • Technical support
  • Customer support
  • Import from excel
Well suited for large and growing companies, will not outgrow it.
Less appropriate for small business owners, too grand.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise as our GL and to book our order and generate invoices for the organization. We have it integrated with PipeDrive and Harvest as we book billable hours to projects. It's been an easy to use and intuitive ERP for a small but growing business.
  • Response Time
  • AR/AP
  • GL Transactional Details
  • Reconciliations
Cons
  • Some of Vendor Level Reporting
  • Alternate Hierarchy Rollups
  • Intercompany Activity
I think QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is good for an SMB or smaller organization that needs a cost-effective GL/ERP to help run all aspects of the business and keep the books and is great for growing/evolving companies to a certain point which I would say would be the $50M mark give or take depending on complexities of your business.
