Overall Satisfaction with QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions

We use QuickBooks (QB) for all of our accounting and finance functions. I am personally involved with QB from a payroll, paid time off tracking and employee roster management standpoint. Our accounting/finance and HR teams are the only departments who are using it. QB addresses our ledger accounting, reporting, payroll, financial statements, etc.
  • Relatively easy to use and learn the basics.
  • Reliable. Can't recall the program ever being "down" for tech reasons.
  • Basic payroll processing for in-house payroll is not hard to learn.
  • Employee profiles could be more robust, like a true HRIS system.
  • Canned reports can be difficult to manipulate.
  • If you create different payroll modules they do not integrate with each other.
  • Ability to produce a clear and transparent financial statements.
  • Payroll reports are easy to understand and use for direct deposit, payroll taxes, 401K.
  • Quick ramp up time for new users to learn basics.
QuickBooks is the first and only accounting software I have worked with. I have worked with other payroll processing software though and I give it a thumbs up. It's easy to learn the basics of payroll and how to run the canned payroll reports. I did not have input on selection of QuickBooks at my company, as that decision was made prior to me being hired.
QuickBooks is probably the best situation for small to medium size companies who do not have an overly complicated payroll to process or financial situation. I can't imagine running payroll for more than 100 or so employees with this system, although it is possible. We process internally and do not use the Intuit payroll service.
