"QuickBooks Desktop Pro: A Reliable Accounting Workhorse for Small Businesses"
4.5/5
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

What I like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro is its robustness and reliability when it comes to handling complex accounting tasks. The software offers comprehensive features like journal entries, customized reporting, multi-user access, and detailed job costing, which are especially useful for small to mid-sized businesses. The interface, while not flashy, is highly functional and allows for deep customization. I also appreciate the ability to work offline and maintain full control over my financial data without relying on a cloud connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

What I dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro is that the user interface feels outdated and not very intuitive, especially for new users. The learning curve can be steep without prior accounting knowledge, and some processes—like setting up customized reports or importing data—can be a bit clunky. Additionally, the lack of seamless integration with modern third-party apps and cloud platforms makes it less flexible compared to cloud-based alternatives like QuickBooks Online. Also, the fact that it's tied to a specific machine unless hosted remotely can be limiting for teams working in hybrid or remote environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

It has a wide range of tools people can use. The financial statements are detailed and could be tailored to suit the business you are assesing. The automation system sumplifies eveything and saves people time and cost. The work is shared among the team members in the cloud and is stored securely for everybody to collaborate and keep documents confidential/secure. When taking into account all thos features, one can conclude that the platform gives you more for your money than other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

It's more challenging than the normal version especially if somebody is not an accountant or has a background in accounting. There to many paid add-ins and you do not get enough features that are complementary and supposed to be complementary like backup which is complementary in Microsoft Office. The service from the team is not very consistent. The software is also not up to date compared to it's counterparts in other words the company is not adapting to the features in it's industry.

"Frustrated with Quickbooks!"
1/5
What do you like best about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

I have used Quickbooks for years and the desktop version is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickBooks Desktop Pro?

Their push to move to online and triple increase in prices have made them impossible to work with. I have spent more than 12 hours with them chatting online and on the phone and the issue is still not resolved. Their support system is anitiquated and although the reps are friendly, they cannot solve a simple issue of an email address change. I have put in over 10 cases with them, on the same issue, and the automated response says it is complete. It still isn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
