QuickBooks Enterprise vs M1 ERP: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, this is Prateek. I am head of the marketing for customjewelry.com. We are a startup and a small team of 15 people distributed remotely. I give QuickBooks Online Enterprise five out of five. Before QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise version, we were using very DIY products, from spreadsheets to a payroll like ADP to pay our contractors. To keep expenses, we would use our credit card tool from Brex. But everything was very scattered since all of the team members are remote, and also global. The reason we chose QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise is because of the ease of use. And just with a quick integration, we were able to all get on board on a single, so where I can log in in real-time and see which contractor has filed their expenses, run payroll, keep track of expenses and everything, all in one place. Oh, getting started with QuickBooks Enterprise was very easy. Actually, more easy than I thought it would be. With all the integrations with the banks, the existing softwares, the tools that we were already using for business, they were very seamless, and we did not have to get any outside help. We were able to do it ourselves in less than a day. I would recommend QuickBooks Enterprise if you are looking for a accounting software or bookkeeping software for your company. Number one, for the ease of use. Number two, for the seamless integrations. Number three is for having a very clear overview of your business all in the same page that is very easy to use.

Daniel K.: Hi, I'm Daniel and I'm the IT director for a manufacturing company. And I give M1 ERP a five out of five stars. The main problems that we're solving is we were able to eliminate a lot of the paper trails that we had in the office. Prior to using M1, we had a traveler that was printed out and went from station to station in the assembly process of the products that we make. And we were able to eliminate that, and it just goes workstation to workstation and everything flows much smoother. Our records get updated immediately instead of the stuff having to be filed and attached to the customer records. And then, a lot of that transfer back and forth running from the computer to a filing cabinet to get stuff because everything's stored within the program itself. Pretty much the problem that it's solving for us, the fact that it does a great job of attaching our documents to the different projects that we're working from. There's not a lot of going back and looking stuff up. If we have to go back to a previous project, all of the documents, drawings and worksheets that we use for that are all stored right there with the order. We can go and see everything that it took to go and make the previous order, and any adjustments that we make in a new order gets added to. And just does a fantastic job of keeping that record for us of what we do for our clients and how we build the different products that we make. Probably the one thing that I would change about it is that some of the screens are a little slow to go and load, but I know it's due to the complexity of the queries that it's drawing from. It's like it's drawing a lot of data out of the database to go and populate the information on the screen. Some of them take a little bit more time than what I'd like. If there was a way to magically do that, that would be fantastic. But I know we're just at the limits of what the program's capable of doing with the hardware resources we've got in place.
