Takes a least 2-3 times longer to do things than it did before. > > Overall Quickbooks it a great program and makes running our business a little easier, also nice at tax time, our accountant can just go in and get what he needs. ----- ### "Great for beginners\!" — 4.0/5 > **Brandy** | *7 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that its a bit of a catch all for any small business that needs to track their accounting. Its pretty easy to navigate for people that don't under stand most accounting and the training they offer is something I would highly recommend. The invoicing works well for us for basic invoicing. Their pricing is pretty good for all the options they have- we use Online Advanced. > > **Cons**: I wish the QBO had as many reporting options as the Desktop version. I've asked about getting some of those reports but customer support says they don't have it. As someone that knows the accounting side of things the product can be frustrating to use because they block certain features or accounting procedures to try and help people not mess up their books. I've had issues with trying to get help through customer support but they know less than I do usually. > > Overall its been an ok product. The ease of use for beginners is something I would highly recommend as a starter product but I wish there were other options that were just as robust or something made more for people that understand how accounting works. ----- ### "Easy to use and packed with useful features" — 5.0/5 > **Mitesh** | *6 July 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like most is how much easier it has become to manage day-to-day accounting. The automation features, bank synchronization, and reporting tools save a lot of time, and it's easy to access everything from anywhere. It also integrates well with other business applications, making it easier to keep financial data organized. Overall, it has helped simplify many routine accounting tasks. > > **Cons**: I haven't run into any major issues recently. Some advanced reporting and customization options could still be more flexible, especially for businesses with very specific requirements. Other than that, it has been a dependable solution for everyday accounting. > > Overall, I've had a great experience with QuickBooks Online. It has become more user-friendly over the years, and the automation features have reduced manual work while making financial management much more efficient. The cloud-based access and regular feature updates have been valuable for our team, and I would confidently recommend it to businesses looking for a reliable accounting solution. ----- ### "Powerful Accounting Software Held Back by Poor Support and Reliability Issues" — 2.0/5 > **Jonathan** | *2 June 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: QuickBooks Online is widely accepted by accountants and integrates with many third-party platforms. It offers a solid set of accounting features, financial reporting, invoicing, and bank transaction management. For small businesses, it can handle most accounting needs without requiring advanced accounting knowledge. > > **Cons**: The platform feels increasingly expensive for what it delivers. Bank and credit card accounts frequently disconnect for no apparent reason, and reconnecting them can be time-consuming and frustrating. Customer support is often difficult to reach, provides inconsistent answers, and rarely resolves technical issues quickly. The software also feels surprisingly buggy and janky at times considering its market position and price. > > I've used QuickBooks Online for my business because it's essentially the industry standard, but it often feels like a product that hasn't kept pace with its rising subscription costs. While it provides the core accounting functions I need, recurring connection issues with financial institutions, occasional backend glitches, and poor customer support create unnecessary work. The platform works, but it often feels like users are paying more every year without seeing meaningful improvements in reliability or customer service. ----- ### "Does what you want, and they'll listen to feedback too" — 4.0/5 > **Andrew** | *22 July 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly straightforward, being able to send invoices directly and provide direct access for the accountant to pull the reports needed for tax time. No need for me to send anything, it's all right there. I liked how I was able to find something available in the US that wasn't working in Canada, and their engineers actually dug into it and found a resolution. Big points to them for that. > > **Cons**: QBO is fairly pricey for what it does. You'd think with the extra fees they have on payment processing etc, they'd lower the subscription tiers. ----- Page: 1 / 341\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/393202/quickbooks-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/393202/quickbooks-online) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
