QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is as advertised

QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is the software we use to run the financial operations of our company. With this, we are able to track receivables, payables, project costs, budgets, taxes, payroll, etc. Without it, we would not know how our business is doing. The professionalism that QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise gives us, not only helps us in our internal operations but gives us credibility with banking institutions, bonding agencies and customers that require a full picture of the health of our company. Like many of the external relationships, Quickbooks is a partner to our company's overall well being.

The product has directly caused us to grow, but it has been a partner in the growth process that has allowed for us to finance that growth. Without proper accounting, we would not be able to account for our operations with banking, customers and the industry that we work in.

The setup of the QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise was painless and quick in the process. However, it did not come without a financial cost that was above what was in the past. The training has been an ongoing process over the 27 years I've used the system. I am always learning new things to add to our company's uses and needs.

I do not see any unexpected uses or benefits to our company. The information that it gives me, is what I expected.

I do not believe I would change the process. I was introduced to Quickbooks by others and found it to be a software that fit our needs and was easy to use. Had I been introduced to another at the same time, I probably would be loyal to that software instead. I have no overall complaints that would make me change my selection.

There are a lot of online training videos that you can search for thru YouTube and video searches. Additionally, there are trainings that are given randomly that will be near any of your work establishments. After the basics, you can search online for specific questions. Many of times, there are other users who will give you assistance in the specific question you might have.

Purchase the version that best fits your industry. If you have any questions, you can have those answered thru online assistance from others, or directly from Intuit's recommendation. With time, you will be able to make the adjustments that best fits your specific needs.

N/A

I did not. Over the almost 30 years of use, I have only had a couple of issues that needed resolved and found the resolution to be found promptly. Since I've only had a couple of issues that needed resolution in almost 30 years, I pay for assistance "as needed".

Intuit tech support is now able to access the data thru the "back door" to investigate the data if the data had been corrupted. There was a time in which we would have to stay online for hours for Intuit Tech Support to direct the user to do the analysis and diagnosis to the software and find out where the errors occurred. Today, I can give them permission to access the software data to run the analysis and find out where the error occurred. The time for this has been cut by 80% (a guess). This also used to be a charge by Intuit. The last time I used this service, there was no charge.

N/A, but as always, do your research in depth and ask others what worked best for them.

No terms. We were given the price for the varying usage and we determined what price structure and support worked best with our needs.

Be honest in your needs. Do not oversell what you need in the software. Determine what your needs are in the moment with the ability to grow into more if needed.
