We use it as our Base Accounting Application for Internal & External Financial reporting, Accounts Payable for posting and paying bills, General Ledger use for journal entry posting, and Accounts Receivable & Collections for tracking the age of invoices and posting of payments.
  • Aging of outstanding bills & invoices
  • Financial reporting by class
  • Financial Reporting: We cannot produce one report that shows both monthly and year-to-date results
  • Voiding of a check in a closed period
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.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions is being used for both accounting functions and material management for our LED lighting manufacturing business. We use it to keep track of open and closed orders, as well as to invoice our customers for products shipped to them. It is also used to keep track of open and closed purchase orders to our suppliers, as well as inventory tracking and management.
  • Reports can be modified and filtered to provide specific information. They can also be exported into Excel for further formatting and filtering.
  • It is fairly user friendly, with a flowchart on the home page to show how estimates turn into orders and then invoices, among other business functions. It is quite forgiving with input errors, allowing one to access already saved data (orders, invoices, etc.) and change it without a lengthy process of backing out previous info and re-entering new info.
  • The toolbar at the top of the screen can be customized to include the functions that one uses most, avoiding the process of selecting a tab and scrolling down to the needed option. One can also personalize how the tab/enter buttons function, as well as date formatting, decimal points, and default scripts for invoices, statements, purchase orders, etc. One can also integrate their established email address to be used through QuickBooks.
  • QuickBooks was built to be an accounting program. It is clumsy with inventory. The reports for inventory management are limited.
  • The inventory management system functions better for a company that just buys items and then resells them. Purchasing multiple materials and then combining them to be a finished good is possible to do, but needs more hands-on involvement than should be necessary.
  • The minimum and maximum reorder points do not function properly. If one has both entered into an item, QuickBooks uses the maximum reorder point only, and ignores the minimum reorder point entirely. I have taken to using only the minimum reorder point and not even entering the maximum into the item.
QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions would be great for a company that is buying products and just reselling them as-is. It is great at keeping track of quantities remaining from previous purchases and time periods, adding new inventory purchased, and subtracting inventory sold. It would also work well for a company that purchased materials to manufacture items for stock, and then sold those stock items.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions does not work very well for manufacturing of one-off or custom products as each item has to be "built", whether it is 1 item or 100 items. It also does not have an easy way to account for scrap or materials damaged in the manufacturing process.

  • Our manufacturing company mainly provides made-to-order LED lighting. QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions makes the inventory process very cumbersome as every line item has to be "built" manually. This is very time consuming and probably costs our company about $700-$800 in wages per month for this to be completed.
  • There is a "1099 Wizard" that can be used in QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions. This allows our bookkeeper to process the 1099-MISC forms for our subcontractors each year, rather than paying our accountant to do it, which cost us about $250-$300 the last year that he did it.

One person in bookkeeping and two in sales.

It helps to have someone who is computer literate enough to be able to know when to reboot the computer, look at the printer control panel, or do other easy troubleshooting functions. But they also need to be able to realize when whatever issue is happening is beyond them and to call customer support.
  • Enter open orders from customers to track their due dates and back orders.
  • Invoice customers for products shipped to them.
  • Prepare Purchase Orders to send to vendors for additional materials. Track due dates, late shipments, and reorder points.
  • Enter receivables and maintain the company checking account(s).
  • Prepare and print yearly 1099-MISC forms.
  • Enter invoices from suppliers and prepare and send accounts payable checks.
  • By formatting reports, I have been able to determine which specific items have been sold most in order to better manage materials for those items.
  • By formatting the templates for Sales Orders, Work Orders, and Packing Slips I have been able to not only add additional fields onto the forms, but also have specified which info prints on which forms, making them more efficient.
  • By using the "Customer Type" field to enter a 2-digit state abbreviation, I can sort my customers by state for reports about sales territories.
  • By modifying what filters are used on reports, I can take a general report about all of our customers or items and dial it in to just one customer or item, making a huge and unwieldy report into a very specific one.
  • Adding more products to the item list.
  • Reviewing and updating our minimum reorder points for better ordering time frames.
  • Revising Bills of Materials as new assembly items are introduced.
We've been using QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions from when the business started, 11 years ago. I don't see us changing programs any time soon as it is working pretty well for us now. It would be extremely time consuming to start from scratch with a new accounting or inventory management program.
No
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Prior Experience with the Product
QuickBooks is user friendly and had a lot of the features our manufacturing company required.
I might have looked at other software programs, but probably would have chosen QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions in the end anyway.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
None. There was no change as we've used QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions from when the business started.
  • Getting the program downloaded onto a remote server.
  • Getting the Remote Desktop connected to the server.
  • Making sure everyone could connect to the remote server, and therefore, QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions.
If you're loading QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions onto a computer that you're going to directly log into, you should be able to do it yourself. If you are going to connect to a server through a network or remote connection, you should probably have a professional IT person set it up for you.
Yes
We do not have an in house IT person, so when QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions seems to be malfunctioning, we need to have someone familiar with the program and its interface to resolve the issues.
It takes a long time to get through to customer support. And sometimes you have to explain the situation multiple times before the rep actually understands the issue, but that's usually because the issue is complex and out of the ordinary. However, the rep is always patient, and will take as much time and effort as necessary to resolve whatever issue you're having. It's nice that they can "take over" your computer rather than having to talk you through the solution over the phone.
Yes
No. It was not resolved, and I brought it up multiple times. I just learned to work around it.
I was having issues with my Intuit Data Protect not running on a daily basis. I was having to do manual backups, which was time consuming and should have been unnecessary. The first time I called about it, the rep said that they had fixed it, but they had not. The second time that I called, that rep not only figured out what the issue was, but fixed it, and then waited on the phone until the backup was completed. While we were waiting for the backup to be completed, I realized that I had another long standing issue that I had just given up on, and mentioned it to the rep. They then proceeded to fix that major issue as well. After everything was fixed, I had been on the phone with the rep for over 4 hours! At no point did they get irritated that it was taking so long, or that the first couple of things they tried didn't resolve the issue. They just persevered and got everything fixed.
  • Check writing and reconciliation.
  • Entering and paying invoices from suppliers.
  • Entering payments received and preparing deposits.
  • Building Finished Goods! Each line item on our customer invoices have to be done separately.
  • Entering new items that have a Bill of Materials. It's easier to find an existing item that is close to the new item, duplicate it, and then change the parts that are different from the original. Doing a new item from scratch is very time consuming.
  • Determining what materials have low quantities and need to be reordered. Even though QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions has minimum and maximum reorder points, they don't work correctly.
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.

Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions is currently implemented throughout my entire company. It has a variety of primary uses here, but we mainly use it to track invoices from our vendors as well as to our customers, as well as tracking purchase orders. One of the best features is that we can easily attach a purchase order or invoice to a specified vendor or customer as needed. Its functions and general layout is very easy to grasp and understand, and even for the more simple minded user, at first glance it's a bit intimidating, but after poking around a bit, the functions simply make sense. This is definitely something I would recommend for a small or even medium sized company who wishes to keep track of anything of monetary value.
  • Ease of Use
  • Great Customer Support
  • Consistent updates/upgrades
  • Remote Backing up (optional)
  • Local back ups are not as strong as I'd like
  • It's easy to become inundated with the reports
  • Customer Support can be a long wait at times
Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions is great for small and medium sized companies. Because it's not meant for large companies, I wouldn't recommend for them, it's likely not powerful enough for their intentions and desired uses. But for the smaller mom and pop type companies, it does everything necessary and so much more. The beauty about Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions is that you can use the program as little or as much as desired. You don't have to populate every single field to utilize the program, you can leave a few blanks and though it may not be as effective, it's still very usable.

  • Allows for multiple users to view allocated funds.
  • The number of custom reports is a double-edged sword. They're great, but at the same time, the number of options is a bit much.
  • Discussing funds is quite easy thanks to the reports and graphs.
I have not used any other similar software, so I don't have ground to really compare Apple to Apples. But from someone who hasn't experienced other softwares, I can say that this is easy to use. Most options are right where you'd expect them to be, with a few exceptions. Overall, learning it and continuing to use this program is quite easy.
Yes
I have Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions implemented to a large number of users in multiple locations. When there is a problem, I need to solve as soon as possible. With that in mind, premium support wasn't an option, it was something I most definitely had to have to further promote my success. In the past I had regular support, and the wait times were very long, and I almost always had to escalate my issue. Having premium support made this a bit easier, though still very much an annoying pain.
Very rare do I call the Quickbooks Enterprise Solutions support staff and I get a customer service associate quickly. On average, my wait time is near an hour, and at times even longer. After spending the first three minutes discussing my problem, they then begin to poke and prod around, sometimes the questions continue. But 80% of the time, the problem is over their head and they have to escalate the issue. The only problem is this escalation arrives usually after spending forty-five minutes poking and proding around but learning nothing. In short, my experience is rarely all that well, let alone great.
No
Honestly no.

Each time I call them, it's usually for a problem a bit higher than the standard techs can handle. I almost always spend about an hour on hold waiting for someone, I almost always have to escalate my claim, and I basically waste two to four hours of my day fixing a single problem, and sometimes the problem carries over to the next day.

Financial statement preparation, accounting record keeping.
  • drill down to the transaction level
  • easy to learn very intuitive
  • solid reporting capabilities
  • consolidations. We have 10 companies but need to consolidate in excel.
  • I was not able to open more than 2 companies at the time.
  • expense allocation module (dimensions) would be great.
If you have a multiple company with different currency setup, QB might not be the right choice.

Quick books replace excel. we were operation out of excel to conduct all of our accounting functions. we did not properly anticipated the fairly rapid expansion we went thru. we should have gotten not just the GL module but all the other feature that we needed later on avoiding so many headaches
  • Price
we were on a tight budget and we were a new company with very little complexity and volume. QB was the perfect choice then and has served us well. The ease of use and reliable platform were key to get us going. we knew we were going to grow, but the deciding factor was always price.
I would have chosen all the bells and whistles from the get go rather that waiting for the volume and complexity to come. it was very difficult to even find the time to do the analysis needed to determined what solution the company was going to adopt because we were operating only out of the GL module

It is a very easy system to learn, so with the help it was even easier. QB is a good solid system, but it lacks some of the complexity other systems have. with QB you need to get additional modules to get the same functionality that other systems offer standard
easy to learn system, specially with some kind of support. Just like with any other system, things get lot easier if you have guidance to lead you in your search for answers. having said that, QB is very easy to use and very easy to teach. you wont spend much time memorizing where to click.
Not very easy in the beginning. just like with any other system, things get lot easier if you have guidance to lead you in your search for answers. having said that, QB is very easy to use and very easy to teach. you wont spend much time memorizing where to click.
we got the GL module so it was very easy to configure to our needs
My suggestion would be to get as many modules you think you will need. We only got the GL piece and then found that the business needed a lot more and decided to go with a different ERP. what a pain!!!
No - there is no facility to customize the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
we did not do any custom work on it.
No
at this point the system is getting replace
I didn't get a solution at the first call. I had to call the following day.
No
I think the support is what the industry average is. I did not find it "exceptional"
  • JE preparation
  • Drill down detail
  • report creation
  • expense allocation
  • consolidations
  • intercompany eliminations
No
It is very easy to use, however it is not a very strong system.
It is not a fair rating because we did not invest in different modules to accommodate for business grow and complexity expansion.
I really did experience any event that required that much attention. for the most part the system is reliable and does not break down
QB is a good and reliable system. We probably should have explore the other modules rather that jump in to the conclusion that we needed a new ERP.
  • LA pro
  • ADP
  • Banking systems
We didn't get to integrate any of it. We realized that all of our business needs would be best addressed by getting a new ERP system. We should have develop the other modules and add more muscle to the system.
  • none
unfortunately we chose to go with Sage 300 because of its stronger integration capabilities and standard modules that come separately in QB.
no integrations took place
It is an unfair rating. we did not integrate any systems to QB because the QB platform was deemed to weak.
stick with sequel base partners
The vendor never really approached us to find out if we needed extra help. had they done that, maybe I would have explore a little deeper and stick with the QB solution rather that change to a new ERP. The vendor did not know my business and didn't try to develop a relationship.
It was not easy at all because the vendor never made itself curious about my business needs. I was completely ignorant about the full range of QB capabilities. We could have solve many of our problems by developing the more sophisticated modules rather that choose a new ERP. There was not expressed interest by the vendor to push the product.
I don't recall. The purchase was done before my time.
even if you buy off the shelf, you should make sure that the vendor knows your business well enough as to make the right recommendations and provide the right solutions. explained in detail what your vision is and allow him the time to present all possible solutions. it is important to get this right from the get go.

I have several clients on Enterprise edition and it works really well in most situations. The trick with QuickBooks of any edition is knowing the work around entries necessary for some transactions. However, all accounting programs have their limitations but that is improving each year. I have two home building contractors, and a manufacture in QuickBooks and it seems to work well enough for them currently. Of course QuickBooks does have an inventory add-on should we need it. Overall I am quite satisfied with the product, but that does not mean I stopping looking at other software that maybe a better fit for my clients.
  • I like being able to attach documents in QuickBooks
  • Downing loading of bank transactions works well
  • I like the graphic user interface with the desk top edition
  • I like that I can use one Enterprise edition to support more than client at a time.
  • Like that my clients with multiple companies do not have to purchase multiple QuickBooks
  • Inventory is still a weakness unless you purchase the inventory add-on
  • Needs to be fewer work around processes
  • You can no longer purchase the desktop version

How many users are needed to access the file at one time?

Do you have more than one company that you are going to use this for?

How many employees do you have?

Tell me about your business so I can recommend the best product for your needs.

  • It is still the most used small to midsized business software
  • Fairly easy to learn even for task oriented employees
  • Works well for my clients so far
I have not really evaluated a lot of different products. I have used Sage software in the past but was not totally pleased with its limitations. I am not fond of any of the online software programs as I have never found one that full fits my client needs, but I look at them periodically to see how much they have improved.
One - it holds the largest market share in my area of the country. Two - it's easy to find personnel with knowledge of QuickBooks. It works well for the majority of my clientele and I have been using QuickBooks for many years now and know how to manipulate the program for best usage for the most part.
  • All my clients

They are complete solution providers to our clients with accountants access to all the procedures necessary. My employees are well versed in QuickBooks all editions but the ones that use it the most are near experts and know accounting procedures.
3
Most of my QuickBooks Enterprise employees are either degreed accountants or certified bookkeepers with a good knowledge of accounting procedures. They are extremely familiar with the QuickBooks Enterprise Edition and all of it quirks. We support a large number of clients in a cloud based QuickBooks application.
  • Client support
  • Client retention
  • It is what my clients want
  • I am not sure as we address issues as they come up, find a solution and move on. Haven't really thought about this much.
  • Moving from data entry to more of a business advisor capacity
  • Will use some of the third party apps to help with better managing my client needs
As long as my clients and I am happy with the results we are getting from the product we will continue to use QuickBooks products.
No
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
My most important factor in my decision was that QuickBooks still holds the largest market share in my area and as long as it continues to do so we will use the product.
I do not think I would change anything.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled
There was no change of management and we just moved all our files over from previous versions of QuickBooks and went to work immediately. One of the reasons I like staying with the software.
  • No issues were encountered during implementation.
Very simple if you know what you are doing if not find someone who does to assist.
No
As a ProAdvisor I have always had good results when calling in with a QuickBooks issue. Support has done a great job of helping me accomplish what I needed to accomplish.
No
I really don't remember a specific time. I do not call that often as there are very few issues I cannot deal with. Support has always been courteous and kind to me since I can be technically challenged at times. I tell them I was born in BC - Before Computers.
  • Bank reconciliations are simple
  • Accounts payable is a easy to use function
  • Accounts receivable is a easy to use function
  • Construction draws
  • Change orders
  • Inventory depending on the client need
Yes, but I don't use it
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.
