Reviews
(51-75 of 188)Great software for small and middle business
- 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.
Watch your money and make money!
- Tracking spending
- Tracking invoices
- Tracking monthly income
- Need real-time updates
- better tech support
- need 24 hour customer service
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.
QB Enterprise is a great choice
- 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.
- Non-accountant entry of financial information.
- Reporting of operational and financial accounting information.
- Ease of initial start-up.
- Easier generation of custom reports.
- Integration with multiple organizations.
- Ease of developing depreciation schedules.
QuickBooks works for almost every industry.
- Paying quarterly taxes in 20 jurisdictions.
- Interfaces with several office management programs.

Software is great but BEWARE of the update problems
- 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.

QuickBooks Customer Service is a Joke!!
- It is easy to use but unfortunately, it has so many glitches that it rarely works without problems.

- 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.

QuickBooks Enterprise 2022 - A review by IT consultant
- Advanced reporting.
- Order management.
- Improved inventory management.

QuickBooks works for us.
