Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Desktop Premier
We use it to plan purchases, sales, AP/AR, GL. Our version is 2 user multiuser (It honestly is not multiuser). Our version is Wholesale/Mfg.
Pros
- Order entry
- Search customers, vendors, products
- It doesn't do anything else good.
Cons
- Make multiuser real multiuser. Everyone must log out (cumbersome process) so one single user can do many tasks. They include Changing Sales Tax Rate, Deleting a customer, Defining fields for a customer, [Adjusting] product quantities, [Backing] up [QuickBooks], Delete a ledger code, Delete an inventory part, add additional notes.
- Could have lines between listing on invoices.
- Could track inventory product purchases. My old 1970's UNIX software did a stellar job of this. Suppose I buy identical products from numerous vendors. My old software listed 10 dates, 10 vendors, 10 quantities, & 10 prices. [QuickBooks] only lists the very last one.
- Lists sales commission for sales reps. I can input a sales rep but not print a report with his name, address, & commission. Pulling UPS out of the sales is another chore. We do it manually. (Why computerize?)
- About every 2 weeks [QuickBooks] won't allow me to restore a backup. I have to delete previous backups.
- Continual pop-up windows DO I LIKE THE SOFTWARE. When I say no & list reasons...they never fix it.
- There is a Price Level List. I can sell Item 1 to you for $1, to a store for $.35, & to a distributor for $10. BUT it is a long list. We have 1100 products. There is no search for the item that we want to update. I have to scroll through 1100 items to make a change.
[QuickBooks] doesn't have meaningful Reorder Reports. TracLine wouldn't work on my new computer. I'd have to invest $35,000 again & buy new Unix software 7 & new Cobol. I should have done it. I thought [QuickBooks] was a leader.
