I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what this program can do and I'm super pleased with it. The customization options of the reports has been extremely helpful as well.
Sometimes, as with any software, Quickbooks can have problems and terminates at the worst possible time.
I love that I don’t have to outsource simple things like payroll, expense reporting, preparation for taxtime, and more. I have always found the customer service to be very helpful and understanding.
We have used this company for more than 20 years, now they are a pay to use company. I HATE THIS COMPANY, it's all about the money now.
Another huge benefit is the ability to export data to Excel for custom reporting. Another perk is the training and support available - well worth the small monthly fee to take advantage of it.
Customer service is dismal. I was unable to have them assist me in a time critical event.
The Professional version for three. I love how I can help my small but busy non profit seamlessly keep track of hundreds of families in our before and after school care program.
My only complaint has been that when you are couple of releases behind you can no longer direct email invoices to a client.
We have been using Plastiq for 4 years and love it.
For the reason I used them, the experience was terrible.
Easy to navigate and select options, secure transactions, dashboard shows all previous activities and provide option to repeat the same option without filling out all the details again.
Another thing I don't like is that if I want to pay tomorrow then there is no option available for urgent processing of payment.
Great way to earn points for your day to day purchases.
Lots of menus to go through. At times tough to pick your payment method.
Plastiq offers both domestic and international payments with credit cards and integrates well with our AP software. We could not recommend enough.
The fee is reasonable but could be a little lower to match some other competitors out there.
Kaity H.: Hi, I'm Kaity. I'm the general manager at a small company, we have less than 15 employees, and I give QuickBooks Desktop a five. We use QuickBooks Desktop for invoicing, billing, keeping track of the bills we owe everybody else. Anything that has to do with money at our company, that's what we use QuickBooks for. Keeping track of our bank accounts, that's really important. So we use it for a lot of things. I like that QuickBooks Desktop is easy to use. It's very clear. It has all the buttons. "I want to do billing." Oh, you click on the billing button. "I need to check on a customer." There's the customer button. It's very straightforward. "We need a report." There's a reports list. So it's very straightforward to use. It would be nice if QuickBooks Desktop could be linked to more specific softwares. I know we are a landscape company, so we use certain landscapes. I'm sure electricians and plumbers, they have all different softwares, and if you could link those softwares to QuickBooks, I think that would be awesome. So maybe expand who they partner with to use everybody's different softwares that they need to run their specific companies.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
