We used Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise to take care of all of the Company's accounting records, track invoices, track outstanding accounts payable and receivable, etc. We found that Quickbooks Desktop is very powerful, but it is not very user-friendly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we started the switch to QuickBooks Online and have found that QuickBooks Online has provided what we needed with more ease of use and better fits some of our employees working remotely. QuickBooks Online is missing a few features that Quickbooks Desktop has had, but overall, we found QuickBooks Online to have all of the good of Quickbooks Desktop, with a better user interface.
  • Sending invoices.
  • General Ledger Accounting.
  • Detailed Reports.
  • Clunky User Interface.
  • Not as user friendly as QuickBooks Online.
  • Difficulty with remote work.
Quickbooks Desktop is well suited for instances where there is just one person who needs to access the accounting data; however, when there are multiple people in Quickbooks, it would be better to have the QuickBooks Online version (as the access is easier and the learning curve for QuickBooks Online is much less steep than that of Quickbooks Desktop).

I have all of my accounting in one place. It is great to have a single place where we enter invoices, write reports, reconcile bank statements, etc. I personally add and maintain customer contacts, create invoices and read and create reports. My bookkeeper can access the same system and does the banking work and also the preparations for my account. My CPA uses my QB systems to prepare our annual reports for tax filing. All seamless and in one place.
  • integration with MS Outlook for sending invoices.
  • Ease of creating and editing reports.
  • Allowing multiple users to work in the system.
  • Sometimes when there are new updates to Outlook or to QB they suddenly stop working well together.
  • More competitive rates for the merchant services feature.
It works great for domestic businesses that don't have complicated inventory issues. The only areas where I have seen people struggle are where the business gets very large, or there are mostly international transactions and lots of inventory items needed for production. This causes them to switch to other software solutions.

As we add additional concepts with accounts of all sizes and factors to our hospitality group, it becomes paramount to have something that is simple to navigate and code effectively. QuickBooks continues to make drastic improvements based on our feedback, which is immensely valuable to me as I prioritize my time going through transactions and reporting to find exactly what we need.
  • Coding.
  • Splitting Transactions Into Multiple Accounts.
  • Creating Easy To Read P+L.
  • Would like to see more suggestions from the software on creating rules for repeat codes.
As our hospitality group continues to grow, it becomes a vital part of the operation to have QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise on our side. I can see a single business environment not being the best fit, but anyone suited for potential growth should consider utilizing this in advance of acquisitions or anticipated growth.

I use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for two businesses. The first uses it exclusively for client management, book-keeping, and to sync up with TurboTax. It does what we need it to do for this in-person, geographically-centered business.

For the other business, we use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise only to create invoices for clients who prefer to pay by check rather than using online payments. This is because we do not prefer the QuickBooks interface for online payments since most clients who want to do online payments do not want to use the QuickBooks option. It is good for what we need it to do to for creating invoices in this business.

The key problems that it addresses are how to create professional, branded invoices for clients that aren't co-branded with the processor's details (like PayPal). It allows both businesses to do this and track payments for clients we issue invoices to.

For the in-person business, we sync our bank accounts with the software to allow for up-to-date information transfer. This is helpful to be sure that everything is tracked as it should be.
  • Creating simple, professional, branded invoices.
  • Saving secure files.
  • Syncing with bank accounts.
  • Exporting invoices to end to clients.
  • Online payments! Most of my clients who want to do online payments do not want to use their online payment system, and QuickBooks Desktop does not have an intuitive option to allow for the processing fees that go along with using other vendors for this. It is a BIG downside for my business that's mostly online where most clients do not want to use QuickBooks for payment.
  • A simpler way to sync account information from my small banking institution. The files come over but they're cumbersome to translate to QuickBooks Desktop. I tried QuickBooks Online and that's worse.
  • There are too many accounting-centered options for my businesses. Both are small but need more options than what is offered in QuickBooks Online, yet the additional features of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is just too much for our needs. We need a middle of the road option that is efficient for small businesses.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows for most of the features that small businesses need, so I would recommend this to many small businesses owners who have some experience running a business. If they're just starting out and haven't run a business/department/or done budgeting at the corporate level, then I would not recommend this option. It will be too overwhelming. 9/10 for having what is needed. I only deducted one star for the clunky-ness that can be cumbersome since it seems that this is the best option when compared with others in the market that only cover book-keeping and accounting options. There is software that includes billing/invoicing/account keeping with other features like contracts/scheduling/email marketing but that can be too much for many small businesses OR it can be more systems than are needed. QuickBooks does what it needs to do for businesses without having to set up your entire business within one system.

Our clients use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise. To centralize their bookkeeping, including accounts receivable and accounts payable tracking, payroll, sales tax tracking, and invoicing.
  • Excellent report generation.
  • Sales tax tracking.
  • Accounts receivable tracking.
  • Accounts Payable tracking.
  • The program sometimes takes to long to load.
  • Payroll reports need improvement.
  • Intuit sometimes places adds for new software with updates.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited for mid size businesses, especially those with revenues over $1,000,000 and/or 10 employees. Businesses that have many customers to invoice, as well as those with multiple bank accounts and many vendors.

I work with 8 different business in the construction industry. 5 of the companies I work with use QuickBooks Enterprise, the other 3 use QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Enterprise has a much more robust reporting and inventory system, which was essential for the distribution companies that I work with.
  • Inventory control.
  • Reporting and analysis.
  • Integration with 3rd party software solutions.
  • QuickBooks needs a better system for tracking inventory turns.
  • QuickBooks needs better cashflow modeling.
QuickBooks works well for brick and mortar businesses that can run their accounting software on a dedicated server. It does not work well for remote or work from home scenarios.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is the only finance program we use. Being able to create documents and templates allows us to bill directly within the program. Using Items we can do detail[ed] job costing. Being able to reconcile bank and credit cards by directly downloading the information from the financial institutions saves a lot of time.
  • Number of Vendors and Customers.
  • Ability to have several company files.
  • Batch Entry of bills.
  • being able to drill down from summary reports.
  • Being able to see the history of a transaction.
  • Warning you of double entry of invoice number, check numbers etc.
  • Would like the dollar amount to fill in when you are using items like it does when you are using expenses.
  • To be able to add items when using bank feed to jobs and items.
  • Be able to edit jobs as a sub account of a client after the job has been created.
  • Be able to import company letterhead as a template to be used for collections.
  • Work in Progress report.
You are able to set it up for a specific industry and it will fill in the most common[ly] used accounts. But you can actually modify it very eas[ily] to use in any industry.

We are using QuickBooks [Desktop Enterprise] for our bookkeeping - to track expenses and revenue, send invoices, and pull reports like our P&L and cashflow report. It's being used by the operations team - currently me and one analyst, as well as our bookkeeper. I pull data monthly to compare our actuals against our budget forecast.
  • Easy to use, especially for an accounting novice
  • Essential reports are easy to pull
  • Invoice feature is fairly simple - and we can get paid directly through QuickBooks
  • They recently added a cashflow prediction feature and it does not work at all
  • In general, QuickBooks does not work for SaaS accounting - we've had to pay for an additional vendor to help us accurately recognize revenue
  • My experience of the desktop specifically is that it's a bit clunky and prone to crashing, so I will often use the online version
QuickBooks [Desktop Enterprise] is well-suited for a small business with fairly straightforward invoicing and revenue recognition. It's integrated well with our bookkeeper and she's been able to create the categories we need to accurately track our expenses. On the revenue side, as our business grew and became more complicated, we needed to use an additional vendor to accurately predict cashflow, recognize recurring revenue, and track ARR/MRR.

It is used across the entire organization and addresses accounting business problems. Bank information can also be entered to quickly reconcile accounts. Vendors can be added for quick payment and receipt of funds. There are many reports available for various aspects of the software. The reporting options make it very easy to see your information in an easy to read way.
  • Reporting
  • Reconciling
  • Account Creation
  • Customization
  • Automation of transactions (ease)
  • Web capabilities
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited in any business environment. It would suit businesses of a large size as well as those with smaller needs such as a in-home side business. The software is easy to learn and to use. The web version of the software may be a better choice for very large operations because it adds in the import functionality.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise within our accounting department as an accounting platform for daily tasks like payables, financial reporting, budget and cash flow tracking. It is a perfect platform for the company of our size which is especially helpful since we have a need for various types of reports.
  • Application of various sales tax rates.
  • Versatile reporting for multiple types of industries.
  • Customizable templates.
  • Limit to number of users.
  • Bulk update is not available to change expense category.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is extremely helpful in streamlining regular accounting tasks such as payables, reconciliations, etc. It is easy to use and suits many industries. However, it is not a perfect platform for financial trading companies because it does not offer user friendly tools to track investments and would require journal entries for that.

QuickBooks has been used to meet finance and accounting functions in our organization. We use QuickBooks for all our bookkeeping, invoicing, tracking vendors, paying and receiving bills. We also use it to import banking transactions. More importantly, we use QuickBooks to close the books every month and generates financial statements.
  • It is a nice tool to generate financial statements: income statements and balance sheets.
  • It is easy to pull detail reports from QuickBooks to get budget to actual variance.
  • I like the drill down functions to help identify discrepancies and fix them.
  • It takes time to download multiple years data.
  • It only allows storing one set of plans (or budget) and forecast. Therefore, a monthly forecast has be to done in Excel online.
  • I hope there is a way to download multiple journal entries at the same, rather than one at a time.
Generally speaking, I think QuickBooks is a great tool for companies to manage their vendors, invoices, paying and receiving bills, and month-end close. It is very user-friendly. It is also a nice software to generate financial reports, by departments, by accounts, by classes, etc., which makes budget to actual analysis easier.

We use QuickBooks Enterprise as our customer database along with all of our accounting needs. We utilize QuickBooks for quotes, invoicing, and inventory control. We also use QuickBooks as our sales monitor where we run reports on a weekly basis for the purpose of tracking, communicating, and documenting any customer correspondence.

I have a few clients that are using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise as their primary ERP/accounting package. My primary client is a large bakery and they completely run their backend operations with this software. From an accounting perspective, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is the gold standard. Aside from how long it's been around, the platform is stable and handles all accounting features well.
  • Chart of accounts--very strong here as you have full control
  • Accountant connect--giving the proper levels of access to an outside accountant is awesome
  • Bill payment--you can connect to outside services like Bill.com and pay bills automatically via ACH
  • Connection to bank accounts to easily link bills and credits to the account ledger
  • Not great as an ERP--though they seem to be headed that way
  • No weights of items--no LxWxH dimensions
  • Online version hosted only at Right Networks--should be fully online
  • No direct integrations with LTL shipping
For a company that needs a robust accounting system with basic ERP functionality, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a great choice. Aside from the small caveats I listed earlier, the program does the job for the most part and you can run a warehouse or manufacturing facility quite effectively. Also, the cost here is much less than a more direct ERP solution like Sage 100/X3 or NetSuite/SAP. If you are looking for a system that handles LTL shipments--as most sizable distributors require--this may not be a good fit because some basic functionality is just not there yet, like item weight or dimension. You can't build pallets in the system without this information.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for our client to manage their accounting related activities and generating reports for them.
  • This application manages all the accounting related activities.
  • It also help to generates all the financials form this application including custom reports.
  • We can also pass the entries GL wise.
  • Sometimes it is working very slowly when we work from server.
Firstly QuickBooks Enterprise is Desktop version so we don't need any internet and it is easy to manage the data offline. We can easily manage the data class wise too if there are many location of the company. Here we can also share the financials directly through email.

Enterprise is excellent value in the lowest tier of comprehensive accounting systems. While we don't use it ourselves any longer, we help other businesses that use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise by designing custom reports that are not available within the application. This minimizes the need to export reports to Excel and cobble and reformat for the desired output.
  • Best value for the price point compared to alternatives.
  • Fairly easy to set up.
  • Automatic double-sided transaction entries.
  • Lots of Custom Fields (user-defined fields).
  • Lots of great integrated apps available to extend functionality.
  • Files are easily corrupted - without being obvious to the users.
  • Intuit's minimum hardware requirements are insufficient for multi-user environments.
  • It's a challenge to access the data to use outside the application for other purposes.
QuickBooks is very flexible and forgiving. If you have solid IT help, have a clear understanding of how to set up meaningful Charts of Accounts and Items, and know what you want OUT of your system, it's fantastic. The flexible-and-forgiving part also makes it easy to mess things up. I highly recommend finding highly qualified, specialized help for setting it up properly. I've seen some brilliant and innovative ways to use it, particularly for Manufacturing and Inventory, and Job Costing for Construction related industries.

We utilize QB across our entire organization. My Sales Dept. primarily uses QuickBooks for drop-ship purchase orders and sales reports. QuickBooks allows us to easily create tailored sales and inventory reports.
  • Easy Purchase Order "copy" function.
  • Product Category function allows items to be easily sorted.
  • Sales Reporting Functions are relatively easy to create and sort.
  • I've heard complaints from Accounting regarding the Payroll features but am not personally familiar.
  • Product/Item search function seems to sort products by some method other than standard alphabetical at times making it troublesome to locate/add a specific item that is similar to others.
Definitely great for small to medium-sized businesses.

  • Easy to make sales orders, estimates, and purchase orders.

  • Receiving payments and payment history.
  • You need to have a over average system to run over a network when sharing a company file.

QuickBooks is our primary tool to keep track of our customers and process their orders from quote through billing. Our QuickBooks is used to generate quotes and convert them to orders when our sales effort is successful. After the sales person converts the quote to an order, the accounting people manage it so that it reflects any changes/change orders while it is in progress. Once the product has been fabricated and installed, the order is reviewed and then and invoice is generated and set to the customer.
  • Quote to order process.
  • Inventory management.
  • Financial reports.
  • Form design could be better.
Depending on the number of users and the overall size of the company, QuickBooks Pro might be a good alternative. I suggest that users look at the limits for concurrent users and consider that in their decision about which version to buy.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is currently being used as the accounting solution across our entire organization. We have accountants and data entry clerks who look through it and reconcile accounts, take care of bill payments, and handle electronic debits and credits through connections to our financial institutions. It handles our payroll, our accounts payable, and our financial metrics throughout the company. We consider it to be the single source of truth for our financial performance and profitability.
  • Solid basic reports on profit, loss, cash flow, and assets
  • Good structure for paying employees and handling deductions and other payroll functions
  • Solid AP functionality and good ability to handle multiple payment types, split transactions, and other needs
  • The software has gotten really slow over time as invoices are attached to reports.
  • Changes made to electronic payment filing have messed up managing electronic payrolls and necessitating additional steps and rights.
  • User management is a challenge.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise occupies a bit of an interesting place in the QuickBooks family, with it being built for organizations that are too big for traditional QuickBooks, but that don't want or need to use the cloud functionality that they are using with QuickBooks online. As a result, it seems to make compromises on both ends that makes it an okay, but flawed, software for middle-sized organizations.

We use the Fixed Asset Manager and it is performing very well. We are a non-profit organization and only need to use fixed asset software that tracks depreciation for in-house adjustments. We had been using a different software that provided more information than we needed. The QuickBooks Fixed Asset Manager provides us the information we need, without inundating us with unnecessary complications.
  • Reporting.
  • Tracking.
  • Detailed analysis.
  • Excel integration.
  • Easier printing to PDF files.

We are a small organization supporting oil and gas operations throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Once we grew to two locations, I knew it was time for our accounting program to grow as well. Our issue centered around the management of inventory across multiple locations. I was also very concerned about the limited detail in our reporting.
  • We are able to quickly see our real-time inventory at each site and deliver just-in-time deliveries to our customers where they need it, when they need it.
  • Our reporting is now robust and paints the whole picture, helping in our decisions regarding cash management and future investments.
  • We are beginning to realize savings from accurate inventory movement and better control of Receivables and Payables.
  • Moving our accounts to new software, as expected, was painful. It involved a great number of resources and time to ensure accuracy.
  • Although robust, the reporting is not always intuitive. It takes time and effort to create reports specific to your individual needs. The "boxed" reports are thorough, but fairly generic. But, I suppose they have to be to meet the general needs of a wide and broad user base.
  • The program is fully featured, so, you can expect a long learning curve, especially when you roll it throughout the company at once.
I love the fact that I can access my data anywhere in the world! I can see inventory sales and orders, project future needs and most importantly, I have the data I need to negotiate better deals with our valued suppliers. Our customers are receiving better service more quickly than before, and our response time has improved because we don't have to guess about an in stock position.
