"I have found Work Order management the most valuable feature. Additionally, it is a very robust and powerful solution."
"We can manage, organize, and track incidents, claims, jobs, tasks, preventive and corrective maintenance, locations, and assets."
"They have, "Let's walk you through it," introductions, to show you how to use it."
"QuickBooks Online has improved my organization by offering a vast array of integrations with other products that allow you to improve process efficiencies while keeping the cost of your ERP or accounting software affordable."
"One of the aspects I appreciate the most is its remarkable user-friendliness."
"QuickBooks Online Payroll offers a range of online customizations and advanced features."
"The solution is stable."
"they even thought about different industries, so that if you're in a service industry, if you're in a retail industry, or you're in construction, they have set up some of the initial out-of-the-box setups, so that you have something that looks kind of like your industry. So for me, I'm an accountant consulting. I do not need an Account called "Dental Equipment." It's flexible to fit your industry."
"QuickBooks is known for its inventory and manufacturing features, it's a versatile accounting software that covers various aspects of financial management."
"There are valuable security features including software access security (login password), data backup (getting all transactions and data from the previous bookkeeper), and an audit trail that is available when changes are questioned."
"The pricing model of the solution has room for improvement as well as the after-sales support."
"The latest version is slow due to the power it requires."
"The mobile solution has a lot of room for improvement, especially in geopositioning capabilities, tracking capabilities, and configuration capabilities, in order to let the tech operate online and offline."
"Vendor management needs enhancement."
"This solution could improve by integrating or embedding finances, charts of accounts, and invoicing."
"It was very slow due to the lagging issues. So that was kind of frustrating, considering how slow it was while functioning."
"Initial setup is a longer process because Maximo is bigger and has more processes."
"The solution is not stable. We can have one day when it is stable and another day it is not. Sometimes it crashes or becomes very slow, and there are times we are not even able to download all the databases. Without the database, we cannot work on that application. These are the small glitches, and stability issues we are facing."
"In their journal entries, you cannot use Accounts Payable or Accounts Receivable more than once. For example, I owe company "A" $100, so company "A" is Accounts Payable, and I just want to list it one by one by one. If I want to add more companies, say, company "B" with $200, I can't list Accounts Payable in that entry. I would have to just say, company "A", $100, company "B", $200, Accounts Payable, $300." That's a shortcoming of it."
"The only concern that I've always had, and it's been a consistent issue that I've heard from others, which is when a file is exported from QuickBooks Desktop and imported into QuickBooks Online, there are accounts that are inactivated or deleted and duplicated. I don't know if it's a bug in the system or what it is, but there's the chart of accounts and the issue is always in the chart of accounts."
"The reporting in QuickBooks is terrible and there's no flexibility in it. It only has standard reports that you can modify slightly."
"In terms of expansion, we stopped using QuickBooks POS at some point because you can’t scale. We couldn’t scale to more than 32 locations when the business grew. The scalability, support and price could be improved."
"The search functionality in the solution has shortcomings that can be improved in almost every area of the solution."
"It would be beneficial to enhance inventory and manufacturing features, as it currently depends on third-party applications like Fishbowl Inventory to address these specific needs."
"We would like to have data conversion and upload applications included, without having to pay separately for them."
"Technical support could be easier to reach."
