  • 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)

  • Processing payments is easy with memorized transactions and last entered detail
  • Vendor history is easily accessed on demand
  • Customizable reports serve the trustees well
  • Annual audits are quick and easy with everything in one place
  • The software becomes "cranky" more often than I would like. A quick data scan on the server usually helps, but if I am out the staff get pretty stressed.
  • Record Retention is not working with QuickBooks. Should there be legal action requesting records for 20 years ago the records will be there - not advisable.
  • Upgrades are quite time consuming as I have to "touch" every computer using the software.

  • Sometimes the shared database engine gets messed up and the server needs to be restarted - that shouldn't happen
  • Deep reporting and analysis tools are severely lacking
  • Security is not as tight as I would prefer

  • It provides ease of researching through reports.
  • Entering lengthy journals and bills is a breeze.
  • The system is very user friendly and easy to navigate.
  • In my opinion, 1099 reporting was easier in the past when the system was not supported by a third party.
  • I would like to see it providing more robust reporting features in the future.
  • It would be appreciated if it could allow for multi-entity tracking within one system.

  • The Find (control+F) function can find any transaction easily.
  • Easy to upload Bank transaction via .qbo file type.
  • The reconciliation window is super useful at the time of reconciling banks and credit Cards.
  • Automatic connections for fetching transactions from bank and CC website is still a headache.
  • Manual back ups need to be taken at regular intervals.
  • The cost per user is very high as compared to QuickBooks Online as we also have to subscribe or use a remote connection to access the QB desktop.

  • Made for small to mid-sized product-based businesses.
  • Once you use the program, you will be amazed at how important the tool is and how it can be used to analyze and manipulate numbers.
  • Saves a lot of time and money than if you do all the things manually.
  • It can only be accessed from the desktop, you cannot access it on the web, so I think this is a missing functionality and at the same time important feature.
  • The purchase order given to us cannot be tracked and the remaining amount is to be paid.
  • I wish there was the ability to produce different reports separate from the current one.
  • The customer support is amazing, they are always quick to answer.
