Pros

simple to set up and worked well with my accountant

Cons

sometimes the interface is a little confusing with the way the draggable columns work and the website doesn't load great on mobile; but there's an app.

I previously used Google Sheets / Excel to manage payroll and accounting for a former small business so switching to Quickbooks has made accounting so much easier.

Pros

I love that it's easy to use for bookkeeping, payroll, etc. and that they are often adding new options for employers like 401k accounts to make it more streamline and easy to manage for small businesses. They also usually have good customer service.

Cons

The cost of QuickBooks Online is a lot. It adds up and I do wonder about switching at times because of the high monthly cost. Also, there are still some elements that are confusing to a non-accounting background person.

Annoying and infuriating. It felt like they were just screwing with us and seeing how much they could charge us while at the same time removing features that had previously been included in our subscription

Pros

Once it's set up, it's fairly easy to use.

Cons

The constant change of available features where they are taken away and you have to pay extra to get them back.

Fantastic. We love how easy it is to set up. The integrations with our bank and credit card company are seamless. We also like how easy navigation is.

Pros

It was easy to setup. We transferred data from an old accounting system easily.

Cons

At times QuickBooks will change the look of the reports, invoice templates, and bill templates.

Alternatives Considered

NetSuite and Xero

Reasons for Choosing QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks Online is used by a large number of small companies like us. It has a great user community where we can find answers quickly.

Xero

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Online

Xero is not used by as many users as QuickBooks Online. NetSuite is too complicated to set up for our use.

Impressive and ease to navigate. I love the generosity of the reporting options. And with the flexibility to customize forms and reports with the Advance version

Well thought through Enterprise Resource Planner for Small and Medium Enterprise

Cons

No Multiple Warehouse function for businesses operating physical multiple warehouses. Making the supply chain module dependent on third party applications.
