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.

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. The Warehouse Manager app needs more functionality, but we're a small organization and I can understand the limits considering the intended users in larger organizations.

Well suited to invoicing and Customer Management. We are able to invoice and stay in touch about payments.
Well suited to inventory management. Our inventory is key to our business success. QBE allows us to easily watch our levels.
Not well suited to sales commission reporting. This process takes us a long time every month to calculate.

Stuck in the Middle with You: QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is Best for Mid-sized Organizations

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

I think the service and product depth. If we go for customize[d] software locally, implementation is too lengthy. The developers take too much time, and still we think the software [is] having trouble at the time of usage. We had a couple of bad experiences.

I think it is suited for all startups as it has a very diverse system; easy but powerful to grow it. Those looking to spend a huge amount of money on custom built systems and programmers might want to skip directly to that.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is quite easy to learn. This makes it good for smaller businesses with basic bookkeeping staff to keep the day to day processes going. A business owner can keep up with minimal knowledge of bookkeeping or accounting. Most of the reports needed by a basic business are already included in the package, and it takes very little time to learn how to produce more specific reporting.

The QuickBooks Fixed Asset Manager is a perfect solution for our business line. We are a non-profit organization that does not pay taxes. The Fixed Asset Manager gives us the tracking and information we need to manage our fixed assets and depreciation, without the added cost of unnecessary reporting and tracking applications.

QB is best when used in conjunction with a construction specific system for the operations side of the business like Proxies, Red Team, ServiceTrade, etc. Unless your construction business is pretty simple, job costing can be a challenge to make sure it is complete and accurate.

QuickBooks Desktop has to be updated...every year to every couple years, for which you have to pay an additional fee. QuickBooks Online is a better product because it is always updated and you pay as you go.
Also, on its integration with TurboTax, it is not possible to upload the transactions unless you are using the same computer you do QB on...which means my bookkeeper can't upload from QB.

QB Desktop Enterprises is well suited for organizations and businesses of all types and sizes. I can't think of a specific scenario where it would be less appropriate over another similar product.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a great piece of software to get a newer company rolling. It is very user friendly and it works with multiple companies, so having a pair of sister companies works well. The database set up is very easy and allows you to get going within the day. The AP functionality is easy to transition from other software.

If you need to do payroll, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is an excellent solution. If you need to do standard accounting reports like P&L, BS, AP, AR, it's excellent. Not being able to trust the Job Costing Reports has cost us much time and misery. We now need to run multiple reports on the same job every time, to ensure consistent data, before we can trust the numbers. (IT WAS NOT LIKE THIS BEFORE! Something changed about 2 years ago to cause this problem.)

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise allows for the use of all Accounting modules, which is convenient & efficient. The reporting is very good (for the most part), and the processing of transactions is easy to manage. This application is well suited for large and small businesses in the service area especially; however, I believe that manufacturers and companies with inventory can use this with a strong degree of accuracy.

I find that QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise works well for generic, broad reports and the items needed to calculate from the reports, however, it lacks some customization that would make things like tax reporting much easier. Some of the filters and columns are only available at specific times.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is great for small to medium-size businesses that just need to track the costs and incomes of projects and overhead.

It is very easy to use the software, perfect for smaller businesses. It may not have enough features for large corporations, but for small businesses, it is very easy to learn.

I think it works great in our manufacturing environment with the things it allows us to do, but I was a bit disappointed to find out you have to use a much more upgraded version of Online to access the same manufacturing features, as we have to pay for more seats than we need to get the functions we want in Mainland China, so online versions would be nice.
