Whether you are doing this for yourself or have hired someone to use it for you, it is a great value and once you get a hang of it, the ease of use will impress you. > > **Cons**: As wonderful as it is that it is very comprehensive, it can have a learning curve to get up to speed on using it. Ideal for mid to larger businesses. Small businesses may not need all of its features. However they have great customer support to help you on your way. > > QuickBooks Desktop was great for when you want day to day reporting, and then financial reporting for the month, quarter and year. It does require some time to investing in using it to become more conformable, but once you have you are on your way. It is also great for staying on top of your monthly invoicing. ----- ### "Great accounting tool if you still like going the old school way" — 4.0/5 > **Amit** | *6 December 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing we like most about this version is it still allows to manage multiple clients without paying individual subscription and the ability to generate detailed reports helps the small business clients overview their financials with ease. > > **Cons**: The software feels a bit dated if we compare to the online tools. Secondly importing transactions from bank statements is very complicated and crashes the application on many occasions. Lastly limited to the office computer but that is a conscious decision to keep the cost down. > > Overall satisfied with the performance and have rated it 4 stars. The invoicing functionality and reconciliation tools are the most helpful features. Off late the updates have slowed down and there is constant push to move to cloud version. ----- ### "Good Product but poor in all the other areas" — 2.0/5 > **William** | *6 August 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ability to create custom reports, inventory controls (primarily inventory assemblies), ease of user interface navigation > > **Cons**: Cost of the product, change to Subscription only option with a 300% increase of cost. Product support doesn't even have a good understanding of the product or accounting principles. ----- ### "QuickBooks Desktop deserves 6\*" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *25 February 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve been using QuickBooks Desktop for nearly 20 years and have had an excellent experience. It’s intuitive and very easy to use. It gives me complete control over my financial records. The reporting features are especially good — I can easily generate detailed P\&L statements, track my expenses, and manage invoices all in one place. The software handles everything from day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end preparation smoothly. It is also the preferred software that my CPA uses. Excellent value for the cost and customer support has been excellent, whether by e-mail or phone. Whenever someone asks me for a recommendation, this is the software\! > > **Cons**: The only con to QuickBooks Desktop (as with most software) is the continual new releases and updates. > > If I could give QuickBooks Desktop six stars, I would\! During the course of my career, my experience has been phenomenal. ----- ### "From $549 in 2022 to $1,199 in 2025 for 2-users, that's CRIMINAL\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jim** | *12 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Works as it should for small business accounting, easy to use. > > **Cons**: The worst price gouging of any software product I've ever used. In 2022 a 2-user license for the desktop Pro version was $549, in 2023 they raised it to $749, in 2024 it went up $849. And here we are in 2025, only (4) years later and now the price is up to $1,199, that's DOUBLE the price\!\! Terrible that they strong-arm you into being a subscription based service and raise the prices in a VERY UNREASONABLE manner - to me, this warrants a class action suit. > > Experience with the product has been 4 out of 5. Every so often their maintenance release messes up the windows firewall port(s) and can take some finessing to get working properly. This is on a network with server and 2-users. ----- Page: 1 / 104\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2053357/quickbooks-desktop-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/2053357/quickbooks-desktop-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
