We are using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for the accounting of a convenience store and truck stop. We import information into QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise from the software that is used to run the store and truck stop through IIF files. This works really well for us. We also use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for linking to the bank and credit card companies and paying some vendors through ACH.
  • Importing files from other software and downloading from the bank.
  • Memorized transactions save a lot of time and training.
  • The Pay Bills feature is super helpful and saves a lot of time as well.
  • Being able to now have 2 companies open at the same time is super helpful.
  • Being able to export the whole database to the CPA firm again saves a lot of time and phone calls.
  • The ability to establish classes and track expenses for projects is awesome.
  • Wish we had the ability to track gallons. We are a truck stop and need to know how many gallons we buy and sell.
  • Matching up credits in Pay Bills can be challenging, especially if you make a mistake.
  • Wish in some of the reporting that it would automatically total some columns.
  • Downloading from the bank wish it would tell you the last time you downloaded and the dates you put in so you don't download the same information twice.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is very flexible. When you have made a mistake, most mistakes are fixed easily. This is wonderful if you know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise gives the user, the ability to do many things incorrectly. If you are not an accountant, you don't know you are doing it incorrectly. That can be a problem.

We've been using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise along with Xero for our clients. Some of our clients do have their books in Quickbooks so it's faster and easier to provide services with them while we're using the service. Also, this helps them understand the books more since they're familiar with the interface of what they are using.
  • Job Costing (VERY HELPFUL)
  • Support (QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise Support)
  • Vault (Backup)
  • Training Materials for certification and getting to know the product and how to use it!
  • Updates(Bugs Desktop)
  • Support(While it is fairly helpful, sometimes Support provides little or delayed response)
  • Complicated at first
I believe QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise would be more appropriate with having a one company use it only rather than having a lot of different accounting softwares. This way, familiarity and savviness with the product is more focused. Also, QBO would be more inclined to be used with larger companies rather than small ones since it provides a wide variety of features than "basic" accounting softwares have(i.e., Xero). Plus, having the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise plan is for making a lot of your employees use it.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for accounting, payroll, and human resources purposes for two companies. We have three users, but only one that uses regularly as we are a small company. It is a program that we use daily. Being a small company, it's convenient that all of our payroll, tax information, human resources, and accounting information is in one place.
  • Accounting
  • Payroll
  • Tracking
  • Payroll reporting
  • Non subscription based software
  • Ease of use
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is good for handling everything in our small environment so that we don't have multiple software and have to double enter information or worry about integrations. However, it is a little pricey and cost could be an issue. We chose a subscription level that doesn't charge based on the number of paychecks, but that could be an issue depending on the size of the company and cash flow.

As an accountant for full service accounting and payroll processing for client companies. I am the owner of the company records and handle all aspects of the accounting and reporting process.
  • Batch entry
  • Bank imports
  • Ability to access and adjust all areas in the system as needed
  • Too many logins for security and validation
  • Batch prevailing wage reporting - all active jobs in a week in one pass instead of one job at a time.
  • Customer support access is a drag - the process is not as slick on this end as it may be for Intuit.
It is more clear, customizable and versatile than QuickBooks Online in addition to not being susceptible to internet outages.

I use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for all my accounting needs...the full spectrum. As a non-profit I need to track donations and send year end giving receipts which QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows me to do. It also has specialized reports for non-profits which is super helpful. It produces great reports and integrates with 3rd party 1099 software and my third party database software.
  • provides great reports
  • meets specific non-profit company needs
  • integrates with other third part software
  • I would like to see more ways to customize reports and have that process be more user friendly.
  • I would like to see the process of creating year end giving statements be made more user friendly. Since I only do it once a year, I have to figure the process out every year.
When I first started using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for my non-profit 7 years ago, there were some struggles, but updates they have made to the product have been great and improved a lot of the functions that were a struggle. It is super helpful for handling specific non-profit needs where the normal QuickBooks, while great, is set up for for-profit businesses. The ability to enter donations and allocate them by classes that I set up is an invaluable tool.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to maintain the General Ledger for four companies. These firms are limited in size and hence there is little to no financial evaluation. The firms are mostly tax shelters.
  • Relatively easy to use
  • Easy to set up new companies
  • QB is not oriented enough towards accountants
  • Sometimes challenging to perform accounting functions, e.g., review prior bank reconciliations, find journal entries, debits and credits are not self evident.
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is for the non-accounting types. Just a simple General Ledger system that is fairly easy to use. If you truly want an accounting system, this is not it.

I love QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise and have used it for over 20 years. It is an all in one accounting, inventory, purchase orders, sales orders, etc and you can also integrate with Avatax. It is extremely user friendly.
  • Adding new items to code to
  • Accounts payable
  • Bank reconciliations
  • Accounts receivable,
  • Inventory
  • More Reports that are standard
Honestly, I think QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is best suited to medium to a larger businesses. Very small businesses may have too little data to use this advanced of an ERP system.

QB is a handy desktop accounting program that and very efficient for our business in carrying out account management, invoicing, delivery challan, inventory management and clients management.
  • Purchase order, Invoicing, & Delivery Challan
  • Account management
  • Inventory management
  • Distributor's / Client management
  • Inventory Management
  • Differential Batch Inventory
  • Customization
QB is very well suited for small and intermediate businesses, where we can manage businesses thoroughly in efficient ways. I give many opportunities to customize the software as per your needs, eg. Forecasting, Outstanding, Loans, Challans, Bills & and invoicing made easy.

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.
  • 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.

We utilize QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for our daily bookkeeping and financial reporting. This is where we enter in our daily transactions to track income as well as all of our accounts payable transactions. General Journal entries are quick and easy to input and allow for me to allocate every penny to the correct account. This is crucial for budgeting. The same can be said for accounts payable. Everything is well organized and easy to locate and analyze. With the click of a few buttons, I can find any expense with the corresponding invoice. We do not utilize QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for invoicing due to the nature of our business. All invoicing is handled through our veterinary software. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is where we go for all of our budgeting. Because everything is well organized and detailed, you can look at as big or as little of the picture as you want. We utilize the software to locate any areas of concern within the budget. The software can be difficult for new users without training as it is not extremely intuitive. There are numerous tutorials available, however, and once you learn how to navigate it, the software is incredibly easy to use.
  • 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.
Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is great for any small business. It makes book keeping easy, efficient, and accurate. I couldn't imagine trying to manage the books without it. The checks and balances prevent unintentional mistakes or fraud. The security measures that can be put in place can give the owner the peace of mind that they can control access and truly know what is going on with their business at all times. A larger business with multiple users may be better suited for QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise requires a third party for remote access and only permits one user.

We use QuickBooks to pay our vendors and keep up with deposits. We do not send invoices via QuickBooks. We keep up with 1099 employees thru Quickbooks. It is very easy to reconcile our accounts in Quickbooks. Quickbooks Desktop is very easy to use and learn. I like the fact that I have plenty of room in the memo to describe the services we are writing a check for, or to put what the case expense was and for what client.
  • Ease of reconciliation
  • keeping track of deposits into varying accounts
  • keeping up with 1099 employees
  • report for certain criteria
  • make it easier to get Quickbooks Desktop when downloading
It is well suited for Law Practices. Quickbooks Desktop can keep all your accounts separate and easily reconcilable. There are many sub accounts to be able to keep up with client expenses and firm expenses. Gathering a list of 1099 employees is seemless.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise was used as our accounting software for 25+ years. During that time, we used it for payroll, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, along with keeping all of our books and finance records. WE have recently switched to the QuickBooks Online because we do not want to host a server any longer.
  • Accounts Payable
  • Accounts Receivable
  • Finance Reporting
  • In my experience, importing Files is tricky and difficult to understand
  • Customer Service - we found it very difficult to find the right human to talk to about any issues or questions you might have
  • Have to host on your own server
I think QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited for your basic accounting software needs. For us, the integration of an offsite point of sale system deemed glitchy and ultimately a failure. In my experience, the most difficult part is finding the right person who can help you with either the Intuit POS system or the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for our general accounting needs as well as inventory management across multiple site locations. We also use the advanced inventory module. This is very helpful in the manufacturing and contract manufacturing that we do. One other feature that is very helpful for our business is the advanced pricing tool. This allows us to set price levels for different types of customers.
  • GL accounting
  • Inventory tracking
  • Build Mfg Items
  • reports could be easier to filter and sort
  • invoice forms could be more customizable
if you are a mid sized business with multiple locations and many different products this is a great solution. It also can handle combining parts and inventory into bundles or new items well. The price is super affordable for what it offers. Also with the cloud services they offer it can be all online which is great.

We use QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) for many clients in many industries whether it is construction, E-commerce, Restaurants and many more. We use QuickBooks Desktop for accounting point of view where manage all the financials of the clients including reporting. We manage the accounting of the clients from various locations and as per the location we bifurcated the accounting so that going forward we can create the reports as per the location. We use the accounting numbers for budgeting as well, which means we can also forecast the future numbers as per the current year financials created in the QuickBooks desktop.
  • Invoicing
  • Journal entry
  • Class level bifurcation
  • Inegration
  • Sometimes the reporting is not getting saved
We are using QuickBooks Desktop for many clients. It is well suited for the small and medium entriprises where we can easily mange all the things related to accounting whether it is invoice posting, tax related activities, journal entry all the income and expese related activities, Payroll related activity. We can also manage the accounting if you have entities at different locations by using the feature of location. We can also download the report by using the filter option. We can also integrate the QuickBooks Desktop with third party application here we have connected with Bill.com, QuickBase and other application by using its API.

We've used QuickBooks many years for managing multiple ecommerce companies, amazon sales, and wholesale sales. We use it to track our inventory which ranges from simple single bottle supplements to complex multi piece builds for large packages of items. There are plenty of connectors to the web platforms available for Shopify, amazon, etc that work great.
  • Reporting
  • Inventory Management
  • Ecommerce Integrations
  • Enterprise could use the same integration/data pulls that QB online offers
  • direct connections to Shopify
  • direct connections to amazon
QuickBooks works great for managing our ecommerce companies. We are hitting a space issue due to the number of transactions we're are now running daily for sales receipts, etc. We use a separate hosting platform to be able to access enterprise from any location for our remote workers and for when we are out but have a secure connection.

We are a small manufacture and find QuickBooks and essential part of our day to day operations. We find the overall ease of use and ability to capture most of our financial requirements far superior to other products we have tried. The only downside is the lack of knowledge of some IT providers to support the software.

We use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to managed the back office accounting for our online retail stores and have used it to do the same when we had our own brick and mortar store. Being a pretty common software we have found a lot of integrations that work with it from our shopping card, our order management, our shipping and even out sales tax reporting.
  • 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.
As mentioned earlier there are plenty of integrations that work with it making it easy to share or pass data between programs such as our shopping cart, order management software, tax reporting software, shipping, etc. The cost if significantly higher than the cost of regular Quickbooks Premier, but there as some nice features that help make the additional cost a little more palatable. We used to use Quickbooks POS with it, but that has been discontinued. We used that to print price tags to put on our products, but in my experience, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise or all it does with barcode and such does not have an easy way to take a PO and print price tags for shipments as they come in.

I use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to run 4 multimillion dollar companies. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise takes care of all our financial needs with ease of access for bill payments, collections, reports and budgeting. We staff 6 people that before their employment with us had no experience but after a short time have become proficient users because of the ease in applications.
  • Produces critical reports
  • 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 highly recommend any business to use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise as it has so many facets to it that a large company or a small company can use it and either use all aspects of it or as little needed. In my experience, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is easy to learn which makes it easy for a start up business or a seasoned professional to get what they need in no time.

I can't think of any company that would not be able to use this and love it.

We use Quickbooks Enterprise as our complete ERP solution. From Accounts Receivables, and Payables, to Inventory Management, Quotes, and Orders, Quickbooks Enterprise is our primary tool for day to day business.
  • Inventory Management
  • Purchase Orders, Quotes, and Sales Orders
  • Payroll
  • It's a great product and from our perspective we can't see any need to improve.
If you run a small to medium sized business Quickbooks is likely to be a good fit for your company. Upon deploying Quickbooks you are given the option to start your company with 1 of approximately 8 different prebuilt company formats making the process much easier.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is the software we use to run the financial operations of our company. With this, we are able to track receivables, payables, project costs, budgets, taxes, payroll, etc. Without it, we would not know how our business is doing. The professionalism that QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise gives us, not only helps us in our internal operations but gives us credibility with banking institutions, bonding agencies and customers that require a full picture of the health of our company. Like many of the external relationships, Quickbooks is a partner to our company's overall well being.
  • Overall accounting
  • Project costs
  • Payroll
  • Taxes
  • Personalize reports
  • Software training
  • Adjustable reports after created
QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a great software to use. However, the cost of the software has changed from $499-$599 every 3-4 years to an annual fee of $899 is a bit strangling to a small business. The software has not given an increase in value, only an increase in price. It's a little disappointing since I've been using this software for almost 27 years.

We moved from QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise to Blackbaud Financial Edge for our non-profit needs. (Multi-fund Accounting) - Also better integration with Donor Database and AP Review. Online, multiple user access more streamlined. AP Approval Process. More
  • Bank Reconciliation - Matching - Integration
  • Robust Reporting (Ease of use and creation)
  • It's familiar - I've been using it for years and it "makes sense" to me. The change to Blackbaud has been difficult, cumbersome, slow.
  • 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)
Best suited for mid-size companies that need more robust reporting than QuickBooks Online can offer. Better for only a few users (More gets tricky - even with RightNetworks.) Too cumbersome for small companies - QuickBooks Online is a much better solution overall - And seems to be developing well. There are few scenarios that I would recommend QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise - The last recommendation was because the company did not want their information online at all and felt that was more secure on the desktop.
