Very easy to raise an order and get it approved. Nice reporting as well with some great visuals.
There seems to be work needed done to this as we have encountered a number of errors since we started using it which have all been reported.
Ease of use and simplicity together with the ability to create very sophisticated workflows using the additional FileDirector system that is fully integrated.
With Zahara, we have been advised to switch this off due it's major data errors which can occur.
It was easy to setup business, users and documents requirements and basic workflows. All help desk queries have been handled in a great manner and excellent efficiency.
The time to get this working is rolling into months and months with no end in site.
We think the price is great value and through keeping in contact with the Zahara team know there is a lot more stuff in development which we are very excited about.
We have a main server setup so the Sage & Smartsync data files are stored on there. We have moved this onto another PC previously to rule out a faulty server but this made no difference.
Quickbooks is easy to manage use and learn. It provides good reports quickbook comes at an affordable price therefore it has been perfect fot my small buisness.
The biggest downfall of QBO is that it is very different from QBD and has a learning curve. If the users do not learn how to propertly use QBO, they can mess up the companies books BAD.
Fields to fill and perfectly links the data from one end like ap and AR to the bank reconciliation. Great reports on transactions for the month or period if interest.
No 'undo' button and not excessively intuitive. If you make a mistake, have to know how to reverse/correct it.
Great smart accounting software that is very responsive and nice to send invoices and get paid faster.
Quickbooks left me feeling incapable of completing the simple tasks required to run our day to day business. I hated every moment I spent logged on to quickbooks.
Great product, very reliable and simple to use. They have multiple integration capabilities, which is super helpful for freelancers.
When you first start using the app it can be irritating and tricky.
Speaker 1: My name is Alex. I'm the COO for Made By WiFi. We're a boutique IT firm based out of New York City with under 10 employees. I would rate QuickBooks Online a 5/5. I use QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping, invoice management, accounts receivables, payment processing, as well as the reporting capabilities which are very rich. I like how easy it was to pick up and learn. I've never used QuickBooks before. We were managing our company's finances through Google Sheets prior to QBO. The learning curve was basically a day, we got it all figured out. It's very easy to navigate and it's very easy to find what you need as well as streamline financial operations. Just making it easier to get paid, essentially. I'd like to see more consistent monthly billing from QBO. I feel like our monthly billing increased almost by 50% since we signed up without really getting more features. I'm not sure how quickly or why they raised their prices so aggressively, but they have, and I wish there was just more of a locked-in rate for a period of time that we could have agreed to.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
