QuickBooks Enterprise at a glance
Key features | Has a robust suite of more than 200 reports with various customization options, plus invoicing tools. Advanced inventory in the Platinum plan and up lets you use barcodes and track website-specific reorder points. The mobile app is limited in function, but it can be used to track mileage and upload documents. |
Ease of use | Bank feeds and bank rules help automate the reconciliation process, and there’s a global search function. The dashboard is customizable, but the desktop software’s user interface is less modern than competitors. Accessibility is limited without cloud hosting. |
Scalability | Can support hundreds of employees. While you can add up to 40 users, just one is included in the base price. Adding users is expensive. |
Ease of sharing with accountants | Must create an accountant's copy to share and later import any changes. This is less convenient than the cloud-based experience offered by competitors. |
Integrations | Integrates with more than 200 apps, and payroll is included in the Platinum plan and up. However, direct POS connections are limited and some integrations may require cloud access. |
Customer support | All plans include 24/7 phone and chat support. |
Cost | Annual subscriptions start at $1,410 per year, and discounts may be available during the first year. Adding one user to the Silver plan, for example, costs more than $700 extra. |
Advanced features | Offers job costing tools, pricing rules and industry-specific reports for nonprofits, manufacturers, retailers, contractors, etc. You can manage multiple businesses under the same software license. |
