Quickbooks does everything that we need it to do. However, it would be nice to be able to adjust reports more easily. It can be somewhat cumbersome in changing the data.

QuickBooks provides all staff immediate access to the data in whatever form each person wants it. The balancing on entries prevents incorrect data entry on payables/receivables. Reports are easy to customize and save for future use. The records are easy to audit.

Avoid like the plague if you're starting out!

There is just so much bad and wrong with the software. Support is a nightmare. They try and point you to their FAQ's and forums for support. Most issues the response you get is a non-answer as they don't truly understand what those needs are. Then when they realize the software isn't working as expected they pass it on to their "Engineering Team". You get different support depending if you're on Quickbooks Desktop support, Enterprise Support or Payments support or Merchant services support or banking support.... each one has their own support numbers and it's a game of wack-a-mole to figure out which one you need to talk to. If there's an issue across disciplines, then you're totally out of luck because none of the departments can collaborate. We use QBDE on RightNetworks. Because our version of QB and the files are remotely hosted, there's even more finger pointing when there is unexpected errors with the process.

Support aside, the software is super clunky... especially for something labeled "Enterprise". We don't have that large of a file and it'll take forever to load. This isn't built for speed. The product vision isn't built for innovation. Intuit as a brand plays it too safe making a product that is just "good enough" to not enrage their customer base.





QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions review. Good for selling stock items...not so much for customized items.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions functions well when used in a straightforward manner. However, if you want to get very specific information from the reports, it takes some out of the box thinking. One redeeming factor is that the reports can be exported into Excel and then formatted as needed.

I like the QuickBooks Enterprise edition so much I moved my company to it this year. I like the overall functionality of the program and I am very familiar with the user interface which makes my job easier. One of the things I dislike about the online version it is not modeled after the desktop edition and I have a hard time getting around in the program.

With QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, you can manage and control your complex mid size business with tools and products used extensively across the marketplace.
