Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions

The finance team currently uses QuickBooks as a general ledger for our financial reporting needs. The invoicing and expense process are performed outside of QuickBooks (with Beanworks and Expensify) and are manually re-keyed into QuickBooks along with grant information that is housed in Salesforce. The organization is currently looking to switch to a financial system built on the Salesforce platform and one which could potentially perform invoicing and expense approval processes within the system.
  • The look (visually pleasing) and it is easy to understand
  • It is easy to undo entries or things if there is a mistake
  • Multiple profiles needed (vendor, employee, customer)
  • Dimensions are limited
  • Character limits on certain things (vendor names, chart of accounts names)
  • No audit trail (who entered what in QuickBooks and when)
  • Connectivity to platforms such as Salesforce
  • invoice and expense processing
  • Budgets vs. actuals vs. forecast reporting
We are actually moving away from QuickBooks and trying SAGE Live and or Financial Force.
It really depends on the size of the company and what they want to use it for as well as there are other platforms/systems being used (and how that integrates with QuickBooks). I think for a smaller company QuickBooks may work just fine for the price point however given the limited capabilities with platform connectivity to Salesforce, the non-profit organization I am currently working with is considering and is in the process of switching systems. We would also like to have a system where expense processing (approval process) is within the financial system; something not currently performed in QuickBooks.
