QuickBooks Online

Avantages

- Le fait qu'il est dans le nuage aide beaucoup, on peut se connecter de n'importe où avec une connexion internet.
- La gestion documentaire est facilité, car on peut joindre des documents directement à la dépense dans le logiciel et facilement consultable.
- Le fait que l'on peut être plusieurs utilisateurs connectés en même temps pour faire des tâches différentes nous rend plus efficace.
- La connexion bancaire est une révolution en soi. Cela facilite la conciliation et le processus de fin de mois.
- La personnalisation des rapports est géniale. Tout peut s'exporter en pdf ou en Excel. On peut sauvegarder ceux que l'on aime.

Inconvénients

- Quickbooks est en développement et il y a beaucoup de changements. Cela peut être difficile à suivre pour des gens qui n'aiment pas le changement.
- On s'habitue rapidement à être efficace dans notre comptabilité. Quand il y a des arrêts de synchronisation avec la connexion bancaire ou que QBO est lent, ça devient irritant de l'utiliser partiellement, cela ne dure généralement pas plus qu'une journée.

Avantages

Automatisation de la comptabilité. Elaboration des tableaux de bord fiables et la réalisation des indicateurs performants.

Inconvénients

Il n'ya pas points faibles car toutes les fonctionnalité du logiciels sont bonnes

Avantages

Facilité d'intégration des factures et des fournisseurs et clients

Inconvénients

La banque et les numéros de compte proposés

Avantages

easy for everyone to log in remotely. It is cheaper (for now)

Inconvénients

does not have the same functionality as Desktop. No Loan Manager (which has been deleted from the latest updates of QB Desktop anyhow). Not easy to create adhoc reports or search for things.

Avantages

QuickBooks Online is great for the average business owner, because it is user-friendly. As an accountant/bookkeeper, I like that I can access it wherever I am working...I just need wifi.

Inconvénients

The bank feeds are not reliable and I don't have time to get authorization codes from each of my clients when the feeds stop working. I won't give my clients access to the QBO files because I don't want QB poaching my clients with all of the live bookkeeper ads. There also needs to be a better way to enter bank transactions manually like desktop. Bank feeds are too glitchy to rely on.

Avantages

Quickbooks is the most used small business accounting software. There are a lot of tips online.

Inconvénients

It is not Quickbooks Desktop. Moving from desktop to online was like moving to a new company. As a bookkeeper, I have less access to manipulate the data.

So the client and bookkeeper could have access.

QuickBooks Desktop

Pourquoi passer à QuickBooks Online

Quickbooks Online had a more comprehensive package.

Avantages

It is very user friendly. Understandable for even the non accountant.

Inconvénients

sales tax is not accurate but they said they are working on it. Price is a little high for small businesses.

Avantages

QBO is easy to use and understand for clients even if they are not accountants. They can see their bookkeeping at any time with QBO.

Inconvénients

Sometimes there is a learning curve for clients. I wish there was a way to create a simpler dashboard for them.

Alternatives envisagées 

Xero

Pourquoi passer à QuickBooks Online

QBO is far easier to work with in my opinion. Excel does not have automatic integrations and I find Xero to be less intuitive.

Avantages

QuickBooks Online has numerous positive features and ton of automation. My HOA used QuickBooks Online for ten years.

Inconvénients

QuickBooks Technical Department was not able to maintain their Online Cloud Database. After seeing numerous errors in the way QuickBooks Online was performing accounting, I contacted QuickBooks Online Technical Support. They informed me their was over 10,000 errors in the database they were tasked with maintaining. Then they insisted I pay between $850 to $1,350 to fix the database they were suppose to maintain on an ongoing basis. I informed them I needed to be with a more reliable & responsible company, so I cancelled after 10 years of use and moved to another online accounting product.

Avantages

The cloud feature that I can access anywhere.

Inconvénients

From my math QBDT does end up being a lower cost overall (although the QBD version is getting more expensive by the day) Work flow in QBD is better/smoother, reports export to excel in a nicer layout.
If you are tracking inventory for resale items in QB (if you aren't - you should be even if you don't have things on a shelf) - inventory is WAY easier to reconcile in QBD than QBO.

easy to set up and have clients pay for it.

Avantages

QuickBooks Online's main strength is ease of use. It's built around the checkbook and it is designed to automate tasks like payroll, bill paying, and even invoicing. It is a browser based cloud software so you do not need to download software and that means it can be used anywhere in the world. Your accountant can work with you in real time without sending a copy of your information via email so it's more efficient when collaborating because it can even be opened on your mobile device.

Inconvénients

The cost of QBO is not competitive and the product is vastly inferior to their desktop products. If you want automated payroll it better fit neatly into their one size fits all packages. Want quarterly payroll? Not an option unless you want to handle it manually each quarter - and you better do it by the last day because there is no such thing as after the fact with automated payroll. I would estimate desktop users who switch will pay 100% more (at least) for an inferior cloud based product that is much less dynamic than desktop. Support folks are not accountants and most clearly do not use the software but rather work off a script to get you off the phone so if you need help, google is a better option that Intuit support.

Avantages

Wonderful product with easy way to record data, syncing with other software and extract financials

Inconvénients

We cannot customize interface of product.

Avantages

I love the convenience. I can work from anywhere in the world.

Inconvénients

The system is a little expense and glitchy a times.

NetSuite

Pourquoi passer à QuickBooks Online

QB pricing and need for centralized processes. Workflow management.

Avantages

Cloud based that I could access from anywhere

Inconvénients

Just about everything else. It's menus are poorly designed, and even accounting professionals have difficulty figuring out how to enter various transactions. Something as simple as "Make deposit" or "Enter credit card transaction" requires digging. The reports are terrible. The initial Chart of Accounts that new clients are set up with is horrendous. Most small businesses don't need half the accounts they start you out with, and there is no way to Delete after they are set up. When you click on the dropdown menu to find the right account when entering a transaction, there is no rhyme nor reason to the order they show up in, unlike Desktop where the Assets were on top, then Liabilities, Equity, Income & Expense all sorted alphabetically. The column widths are not set correctly by default - some are way wider than they need to be, others like the Memo column are chopped off so you can't see half of what was entered there. You can then mess around with it to try and resize everything, but when you print it doesn't looks like the screen and is still not legible. Most CPA"s I know have just given up and instead export the report to Excel and them modify it there (big time waster). In addition, Intuit has ads embedded everywhere in their software to try and promote all their other products and services. They also try to lure clients over from Desktop with cheap initial pricing. We've all seen what they did with the Desktop pricing, which has gone up over 800% in 4 years. Never have I seen a company that had accumulated 25+ years of Goodwill with happy customers destroy their relationship with them in such a short period of time.

Pourquoi passer à QuickBooks Online

The client already subscribed. Or the company is simple enough to use Quickbooks online.

Avantages

Ease of sharing and integration; bank feeds are good when they work

Inconvénients

Customer support is questionable and relies on canned responses to most things that are google-able by the user and have already been attempted. PNC is a major bank and the bank feed connections with it suck. If you can even get it connected they frequently get disconnected. I understand its pnc's structure and security but theyre a major bank and it should be smoother. Also the payroll options are horrendous and if anything goes awry goodluck trying to get it fixed since most things are locked and not viewable or manually fixable and require support who barely know what theyre doing (especially a problem for Ohio and PA local taxes)

Functionality/connectivity with other apps and banks

Avantages

There are so many amazing and useful features of Quickbooks. Personally the ease of making company reports, keeping track of all expenses in the business.

Inconvénients

I dislike the changes, sometimes they are for the better but you become accustomed to a certain way of doing things and then it is altered. However overall it is a great product.

Alternatives envisagées 

Xero

Pourquoi passer à QuickBooks Online

More support systems, adopted by more companies and easier integrations.

Avantages

The automation is a lifesaver. It pulls in bank transactions automatically, which means no more manual data entry. The ability to attach receipts directly to expenses is a huge bonus too, especially when it’s time for taxes. Everything’s in one place, and the reports are quick to run, giving a clear snapshot of your business whenever you need it.

Inconvénients

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first, especially if you’re moving from Excel or another system. Some clients have felt a little overwhelmed getting everything set up, but once you’re past that, it’s really smooth. Also, the pricing can feel high for small businesses just starting out, especially if you add on extra features like payroll.

Xero

Pourquoi passer à QuickBooks Online

We considered Xero, but went with QuickBooks Online because it’s just easier to use for clients who aren’t accountants. The payroll features are more streamlined, and the support in Canada is better, which makes a big difference. Plus, the automatic bank feeds save a lot of time, and everything just feels more intuitive​​.

Avantages

Quickbooks Online is your one stop shop for business accounting and operations. We have used quickbooks since 2014 for our businesses. It has amazing features to help automate the process such as uploading bank statements so you don't have to make manual entries

Inconvénients

I dislike the fact that If i am invoicing several businesses at once, I have to individually do the invoices. I wish there was a screen that I can make ONE INVOICE and apply it to several different companies and send. (In our business, it is common that we provide a same cost service to multiple companies at a time). This would help effiency for us.

Avantages

QuickBooks Online is extremely user friendly. Everything is labeled, categorized, and in user friendly places.

Inconvénients

I really don't have any complaints about QuickBooks Online. Any time an issue arises, there are always helpful articles to help work out the problem!

Avantages

ability to work remotely saves time and sanity

when software developers make changes without consulting users

Avantages

Easy to use, intuitive, has lots of plugins and features, and the AI/intuition of the app to guess the category for new transactions works pretty well

Inconvénients

Not really a con, but it doesn't work the best for fund accounting (I work in the nonprofit sector with designated funds).

Avantages

I love this software- I have tried other methods (one example being Accounting Suite) and just think Quickbooks offers smooth, easy to use and learn for anyone from the beginning stage all the way to advanced. I always am able to find support online if I run into questions but most of tr

Inconvénients

There isn't much not to like- some might consider some of the add ons expensive but there are basic packages must small business owners can afford.

Avantages

We use quickbooks premier way back 2015-2019 and when our new company needed an accounting software on our business we tried quickbooks online and it works more conviniently than quickbooks desktop! Quickbooks is now in our pocket, in our phone and laptop anyware.

Inconvénients

I haven't encountered a bug but 1 of our employee is using an older phones and it messed up with what he sees, I think it's because it is a very old phone.

Avantages

I like how easy it is to view my clients' books remotely.

Inconvénients

Regular changes to the system are difficult for me to explain to some of my less tech-savvy clients.
