Pros

  • automate builds
  • profitability reporting
  • large capacity for customers, vendors, and inventory items
  • desktop based

Cons

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited if you are starting out and can setup your processes from scratch and if all of your users are on-site or can remote in to your desktop.

If you have a long history which would have to be recreated it would be time consuming to do so. Lack of cloud based access limits who can access the software and when.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

QuickBooks enables us to create orders, purchase inventory, pay employees, and pay bills to our vendors seamlessly. Without QuickBooks, we would need multiple tools to accomplish the same tasks that QuickBooks offers in one program. We appreciate being able to run QuickBooks on a local server, which allows us to maintain control over our data and avoid cloud storage.

Pros

  • Inventory Control.
  • Quick Reports on Parts.
  • Easily integrates parts with BOM.

Cons

  • Pricing.
  • Better Application for Inventory Control and Cycle Counts.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have spent many years searching for alternative software to complement or replace QuickBooks, but have yet to find a product capable of handling the tasks QuickBooks performs.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise very satisfied user

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I upgraded to QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise due to the growth of my business. I needed to add multiple users that could access the system simultaneously, but not necessarily grant full access to each user, so the customizable user interface worked perfectly for that. Also wanted to do cloud hosting so that I could eliminate managing my own server and also allow my accountants to access the system remotely without having to take them a company file. This environment created a closer working relationship and improved our efficiency greatly. I would also go as far to say that this product actually taught me more about business and accounting. I would recommend QB Desktop Enterprise to any growing business.

Pros

  • Customizable user interface
  • Payroll
  • Job cost tracking
  • Receiving payments
  • Merchant services interface

Cons

  • Creating custom reports

Likelihood to Recommend

Running a service business, it is important to make sure you have timely invoicing. It is so easy to set up new customers, and then create an invoice as simple or as complex as you need. Being able to offer multiple payment methods and then being able to track outstanding invoices and collect payments all are a breeze. It helps to streamline your business without maintaining multiple software or systems.

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our organization produces quite a bit of invoices on a daily basis before QuickBooks it was hard to track all of these, but with QuickBooks enterprise features it gave us a whole host of reports and other intuitive features that greatly assisted in not only streamlining our invoice processing but also greatly increased the overall productivity of the accounts department.

Pros

  • Accounting Reports
  • Invoicing
  • Reconciliation

Cons

  • Automated Reconciliation
  • Transaction Audit/History
  • Ability to view logs (who changed what)

Likelihood to Recommend

QuickBooks is very well suited for small and medium enterprises with relatively complex parts with multiple users as it's multi-user function and interactivity is unmatched, It is less appropriate for smaller companies with simple transactions it may not be as effective as the price may not be worth the functionality trade off

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise runs our entire manufacturing business. There are modules that we are just starting to incorporate as it took a little to get the non-users to understand what we already pay for and are not using.

Pros

  • Bank Reconciliations
  • Pays Bills - Sends Invoices
  • Provides immediate contact within the program to message other users cutting down on time to revert to email or call for answers

Cons

  • Ability to upgrade - We need to upgrade and have trouble finding out exactly how to do so since we have the program hosted by Realworks
  • Scan directly into the program. We need this ability returned
  • Education on setting up the inventory module

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for everything we need. the ability to customize reports is worth it's weight in gold.

Great product choice

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

One of the constant issues we would have pertains to billing. Invoices were getting mixed up or just coming out completely wrong at times. Being in the construction industry, we are responsible for specific areas on a jobsite. So, if our material/inventory get damaged, whether our fault or another trade, this newest version of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise that our company purchased has been able to smooth out discrepancies with inventory. This version has helped with tracking invoices for material damaged by other trades. Overall, a better handle for the business.

Pros

  • Invoicing is super easy.
  • Inventory discrepancies are very few.
  • Logging payments and closing out voided bids.

Cons

  • I would like for it to be a little more user friendly.
  • The multi-user function does not work consistently.
  • Having issues with sending emails directly from QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

Likelihood to Recommend

Fo the construction industry, and more specifically in the glass portion of construction, being able to find old orders by filtering job names, dates and manufacturers, has been the best simplification for our inventory system. If we need to go back and fix a job or replace anything, locating old Purchase Orders has never been easier for me.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise has been our Accounting software for the last 5 years aand has provided us the flexibility and depth of data that we need. The software aligns with other QB Desktop products so ease of use is excellent. Built-in reports are highly customizable and vendor reporting is a huge plus. We make the most of the customer summaries and rely greatly. The flexible reporting does make the end of month close much easier to tie out. If I have one complaint, it's that there are some funny hiccups in reporting across multiple years (except not when reporting on "All" years.

Pros

  • Ease of Use
  • Flexible Reporting
  • Credit Card Automation

Cons

  • Reporting across multiple years

Likelihood to Recommend

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a great all around product that fits all businesses and user levels. We've used it starting as a smaller firm but it has allowed us to grow without having to make significant changes to software.
