Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

  • 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.

Not my cup 'o tea.

  • None
  • In my opinion, there is zero isolation between departments. Each department has a specific sales/work order/invoice numbering scheme. When one department whose numbering starts with ABC puts in a number, for example, ABC11234 it's reflected across the entire enterprise, even if the other department(s) numbering is different, for example, DEF54321, when that department starts a new entry, they have to look up their last numeric entry. Otherwise, if they open a new sales ticket, it's going to start with ABC11235 rather than DEF54322. A Grade-A time-wasting pain in the neck.
  • QuickBooks advertising and/or messages that should be the system administrator's domain show up on everyone's computer, despite checking off the "Don't show this again" option.

  • Easy to format and modify account numbers.
  • Customer billing and collections are easy to customize for user needs.
  • Inventory offers both standard and advanced capabilities.
  • Payroll can be done in house or using 3rd party vendors.
  • Enterprise had excellent user support in a universe dominated by QuickBooks users.
  • Despite a more advanced database used in Enterprise, large transaction counts may slow processing.
  • Advanced financial statement presentation may require either their Financial Statement Writer module, advanced Excel spreadsheets, or other 3rd party products.
  • Unique inventory builds may require third party products such as FishBowl.

  • Allows for extra notes on customers.
  • Tracking customer invoices and due dates is easy.
  • Simple to pull Job Costing reports.
  • Invoice numbers are automatically generated and when an error happens, it's difficult to back track and get the invoice numbers populating correctly.
  • Updates are a HUGE problem - they are forced on users at different times and cause every user to stop using QB while the problem is being fixed.
  • It has taken about 2 hours on the phone with customer service every time we have an issue with just ONE user's update. This has happened twice in the last 17 days.

  • It is easy to use but unfortunately, it has so many glitches that it rarely works without problems.
  • They are Really Good at protecting their corporate people and not allowing end users to talk to them.
  • They are really Good at completely screwing up your accounting system and then taking no responsibility for it!!
  • Their customer service department or call answerers are really good at dropping calls after being on hold for hours!
  • Actually, Employee a Customer Service Department that can help people and not simply be call answerers.
  • Provide Corporate Support and Help with Easy Access!!
  • Take responsibility for when their product completely destroys your accounting system, like deleting over 20,000 customers due to a glitch in their program.

  • Advanced reporting.
  • Order management.
  • Improved inventory management.
  • Pricing features.
  • We still depend upon third party services for uploading bank feeds.
  • Few banks do not provide bank feeds, converting PDF's to bank feeds is challenge.
  • If Quick Enterprise can build its own utility where we can convert PDFs to bank feeds. That would be great.
