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.

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.

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.

It is exceptional in creating reports. We need to present financials to our board members so they see where we are in the year with the over-budget info in either dollars or percentages or both. It is also helpful if we want to do a comparison between years.

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.

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.

Too many clients and too many users? You might want to use QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise, it's very handy with those dilemmas!

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.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a great fit for the medium to large business. It works great for entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals, especially those who have multiple small businesses and side hustles to track.
Have a small side-hustle without a lot of transactions? This may be a bit of an over-kill for you.

smaller businesses would get the most out of it, tracking customer invoicing/aging, integration with third party portals (bill.com, banking, IIF imports). We'd love to use job costing but our company is too big to delegate this action. serial # and inventory tracking could use some improvement

I think it is very heavy-ended software. Bogs down server performance. Causes occasional errors that sometimes cannot be remedied unless we use their 'File Doctor' software. This software first off closes all instances of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise which is practically impossible to do during business hours, hence, the error either has to stay until after hours for the error to be fixed, or everyone would be required to logoff for the fix. Also, updates make launching the application impossible until they are implemented, causing the same issue as mentioned above.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
