What differentiates Quickbooks Online from other similar products?

QuickBooks Online easier than QuickBooks Desktop and particularly it is cloud-based accounting solution therefore today it attracts users.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is universal and may be fit to any industry. It make accounting to simple as drag and drop, just pass a transaction and it will update all financial statements automatically. One can easily get training material on YouTube. It is similarly useful for an organization where multiple employees access the same system at same time. It generate built-in and customized reports and on a single click one can get the break up and track it to the original book of account to see its initiation.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Some tasks may not be done in a batch but one by one. Scope for customization is limited as expected by a user. For a new user, the user interface is confusing. Sometimes it takes long time to execute your command. It does not do good work with estimates. Free version has limited features.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

QuickBooks Online is wonderful and complete accounting software. However, it takes time to learn more about the software and sometimes a new user may found a complicated user interface. However, customer support is poor and not responsive. But fortunately there is rich material available at YouTube which may be helpful to understand the software. It is complete solution for a small business, it provides comprehensive and relevant chart of accounts based on your industry.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Fair
  • Continually Improving Product

What differentiates Quickbooks Online from other similar products?

As I understand, Quickbooks is the stalwart accounting solution for SMBs, but there is a LOT of overlap between it and other similar products

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The fact that it's so widely used means that the integrations seem to work pretty well

What do you dislike most about this product?

For some reason, the core accounting functionality of Quickbooks is still not intuitive - it takes an accounting background (or knowledge at the very least) to actually understand what it's doing. Someday, someone will make a general ledger software that is truly user-friendly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

There is a habit/reflex of people talking about accounting to dismiss Quickbooks as mom-and-pop-shop software. As I see it, this is a perspective that originates from ERP salesmen/saleswomen, and doesn't reflect any actual understanding of the nuts and bolts of accounting. A reliable and accurate accounting process CAN be executed successfully in Quickbooks for many/most companies up to a certain size (the exact size can vary dramatically depending on the particulars of the company's systems and the industry).

Pros

  • Transparent
  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable

Cons

  • Commodity Features
  • Less Efficient Service
  • Leverages Incumbent Status
