QuickBooks Scalability

Dana Bakker - PeerSpot reviewer
Director of Finance at Nourishing Hope

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a five out of ten. In terms of scalability, you can only do so much within QuickBooks. Once you become a medium-sized organization from a small-sized company, QuickBooks stops working for you since it doesn't give you too much flexibility around different accounting principles, after which it also fails to provide a lack of visibility compared to some other bigger products.

The scalability of QuickBooks is really poor. I would give it a two out of ten. As you grow as a company, you have different tax IDs and you have to set up different companies. There's no way to access the companies from a single point. You have log-ins for each one, and you have to log in to one and log out of the other. That part of it is very limiting, and it is not suitable for any company that plans on growing in size. It's really good for small, single-entity companies. It's not good for a company that's anticipating any kind of growth and I do not recommend it in that case. You will outgrow it too fast.

It provides good scalability capabilities, especially with given ability to add on many third-party products. I would rate it ten out of ten.

My opinion is that this solution is certainly scalable. I would say that it can follow a company from a startup to a 25-million-dollar business. Once you get over 10 million, that's when you'd probably start evaluating. Whether or not you would need to move to something else after that 10-million-dollar mark will depend on your business and your processes. If you are just using it as a GL and you have a third-party app handling some of the more complex processes in with your business, QuickBooks Online could obviously scale significantly.

There are three to five users of this solution in my circle with plans to expand.

QuickBooks Desktop is highly scalable. However, I do have concerns regarding the file size drive and how that can affect someone's on-premise usage. I know someone who is looking at a different platform because their file size has gotten too large. I'm not familiar with remedies for that and by the sounds of it, QuickBooks wasn't very helpful either. The file size is my only concern as far as scalability.

It's scalable up until a certain point. Generally, it is quite scalable. 

We have three people using it in our company. 

We might increase usage by adding one more license.

There are some limits to what a company can do, number of transactions. But it's in the millions, and I have never dealt with any client that reached more than that. And, if you do, there is a follow-on product called QuickBooks Enterprise, which is designed to handle the really, really big companies with lots of employees, and lots and lots of transactions, and lots of users, etc. 

QuickBooks Desktop is the perfect software program for a startup company to begin keeping track of its accounts, to work with banks, to present financials to its CPAs so that they can get their taxes done. I'm not a CPA. I don't do taxes. I prepare their financial statements so they can get their taxes done.

This product is intended for small businesses and allows for up to five simultaneous users, with a purchase of multiple licenses. If you need more users, you will need to upgrade to QuickBooks Enterprise.
