I believe QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise would be more appropriate with having a one company use it only rather than having a lot of different accounting softwares. This way, familiarity and savviness with the product is more focused. Also, QBO would be more inclined to be used with larger companies rather than small ones since it provides a wide variety of features than "basic" accounting softwares have(i.e., Xero). Plus, having the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise plan is for making a lot of your employees use it.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is a great fit for the medium to large business. It works great for entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals, especially those who have multiple small businesses and side hustles to track.
Have a small side-hustle without a lot of transactions? This may be a bit of an over-kill for you.

smaller businesses would get the most out of it, tracking customer invoicing/aging, integration with third party portals (bill.com, banking, IIF imports). We'd love to use job costing but our company is too big to delegate this action. serial # and inventory tracking could use some improvement

I think it is very heavy-ended software. Bogs down server performance. Causes occasional errors that sometimes cannot be remedied unless we use their 'File Doctor' software. This software first off closes all instances of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise which is practically impossible to do during business hours, hence, the error either has to stay until after hours for the error to be fixed, or everyone would be required to logoff for the fix. Also, updates make launching the application impossible until they are implemented, causing the same issue as mentioned above.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is good for handling everything in our small environment so that we don't have multiple software and have to double enter information or worry about integrations. However, it is a little pricey and cost could be an issue. We chose a subscription level that doesn't charge based on the number of paychecks, but that could be an issue depending on the size of the company and cash flow.

When I first started using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for my non-profit 7 years ago, there were some struggles, but updates they have made to the product have been great and improved a lot of the functions that were a struggle. It is super helpful for handling specific non-profit needs where the normal QuickBooks, while great, is set up for for-profit businesses. The ability to enter donations and allocate them by classes that I set up is an invaluable tool.

Honestly, I think QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is best suited to medium to a larger businesses. Very small businesses may have too little data to use this advanced of an ERP system.

QB is very well suited for small and intermediate businesses, where we can manage businesses thoroughly in efficient ways. I give many opportunities to customize the software as per your needs, eg. Forecasting, Outstanding, Loans, Challans, Bills & and invoicing made easy.

Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited, based on its cost, for a medium business. Its focus and functionality is for those who are using it for bill processing, invoice payment, payroll (where needed), regular account reconciliations, regular government remittances, job type breakdowns, etc. It might be less appropriate for a small business, where few transactions are done or where regular postings aren't being used.

Ideal for language service providers, QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise excels in efficiently managing clients, vendors, and subvendors. The robust reporting features further enhance its suitability, providing comprehensive insights for streamlined operations in the language services industry.

Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise is great for any small business. It makes book keeping easy, efficient, and accurate. I couldn't imagine trying to manage the books without it. The checks and balances prevent unintentional mistakes or fraud. The security measures that can be put in place can give the owner the peace of mind that they can control access and truly know what is going on with their business at all times. A larger business with multiple users may be better suited for QuickBooks Online. QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise requires a third party for remote access and only permits one user.

It is exceptional in creating reports. We need to present financials to our board members so they see where we are in the year with the over-budget info in either dollars or percentages or both. It is also helpful if we want to do a comparison between years.

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is suited for both non-profits and private companies to keep the company's financial data in check. It helps us keep the data at our reach anytime, any data historical since the implementation of QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise in the firm. We can keep the stock and check due date checks.

It is well suited for Law Practices. Quickbooks Desktop can keep all your accounts separate and easily reconcilable. There are many sub accounts to be able to keep up with client expenses and firm expenses. Gathering a list of 1099 employees is seemless.

I think QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is well suited for your basic accounting software needs. For us, the integration of an offsite point of sale system deemed glitchy and ultimately a failure. In my experience, the most difficult part is finding the right person who can help you with either the Intuit POS system or the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

if you are a mid sized business with multiple locations and many different products this is a great solution. It also can handle combining parts and inventory into bundles or new items well. The price is super affordable for what it offers. Also with the cloud services they offer it can be all online which is great.

We are using QuickBooks Desktop for many clients. It is well suited for the small and medium entriprises where we can easily mange all the things related to accounting whether it is invoice posting, tax related activities, journal entry all the income and expese related activities, Payroll related activity. We can also manage the accounting if you have entities at different locations by using the feature of location. We can also download the report by using the filter option. We can also integrate the QuickBooks Desktop with third party application here we have connected with Bill.com, QuickBase and other application by using its API.

QuickBooks works great for managing our ecommerce companies. We are hitting a space issue due to the number of transactions we're are now running daily for sales receipts, etc. We use a separate hosting platform to be able to access enterprise from any location for our remote workers and for when we are out but have a secure connection.

I give them a 7 as they have built up the product to be basically the standard for small business. Most accountants only want your information in a Quickbook format. Their customer service and support is the only thing holding them back from a higher rating. I think they have gotten too big and they are ok with being above average, instead of striving to be excellent
