QuickBooks Desktop for Mac vs. Yooz

It is extremely well suited for smaller companies who are trying to manage things on their own without outsourcing too much. The program is easy to learn and doesn't require too much training time before it can be implemented. The online/cloud feature makes it even more accessible to our employees, so it's great. It would be hard for a large company to use it since it is geared towards smaller companies and the interface may become overwhelming with too many inputs/bills to manage.

when you have put the amount in, and the amount does not match the invoice yooz sends an alert to indicate that there is a missing amount that you have not added, and it also helps to let you know when some invoice amounts are more than the usual get for that vendor so you can take note

• Reconciling my bank accounts is made easy by automated bank connections and rules for re-occurring transactions. I can also transfer between connected bank accounts making sure to not double up on transfers or payments.
• I love that I can access Quickbooks Desktop via a web browser, iOS, and the desktop app. I live in a mobile world so having the ability to crossover is vital.
• Payroll. One simple feature that allows me to track employee and employer taxes, make payments, and automate the entire process. All I have to do is hit approved and the rest is done for me. I love it!

• Strong integtation with Intacct (our GL)
• Strong OCR capabilities that capture the key information of an invoice with accuracy
• Very responsive Support Team if we encounter a problem or have a question.
• In depth documentation for users (pdf's videos) to learn the product

• QB for Mac is not nearly as feature rich as the Windows Version
• QB for Mac has recently FORCED users to password protect all databases. They SHOULD allow a preference to disable rather than imposing their workflow on the end user. The PW is in my environment [and this step is] unnecessary and a cumbersome waste of time.
• Mac version can occasionally be a bit buggy

• when exporting we have to change the total column's to numbers or it will export with the incorrect totals.
• Yooz needs to not allow itself to add a line to the total and change what you are posting. instead it needs to freeze you from moving on.

I haven't spent that much time with the newer versions of QuickBooks for Mac, but I think I'm seeing it make the much-needed improvements. For example, something as simple as undoing the previous reconciliation was a terrible chore, and I'm glad that feature has been included in the newer versions of QuickBooks for Mac

ALSOME PROGRAM MAKE EVERYDAY SO MUCH EASIER

The Mac version is OK overall. I find the Windows versions to be much more robust but Mac is quite good for Mac users. Though I think die hard Mac users should consider QuickBooks Online instead as there is a new QB for Mac app that makes using QBO much better!

Usability of Yooz is close to 10, solves the issue that many companies have and serve to its purpose. The platform is simple, but well design and it is always improving. Since we started using it almost 8 months ago, the invoicing process of our company enhanced sharply. But there is also room for improvement that is why a 9/10

I've been using the QuickBooks online version for a little over 6 months now (upgraded from Mac desktop) and I haven't had any access issues. There have been times when it was down for service/upgrade however there is always plenty of notification time given by the Quick Books Online Support team. These upgrade maintenance time frames are always over night hours and on the weekends so everything can be worked around very easily.

Fortunately, I haven't had to reach out much for support.

I tried switching to QBO (QuickBooks Online) a couple of times. And in both cases it was disastrous. The software is buggy and the workflow is not at all like what I was used to in Desktop and so I felt like there was a brand new learning curve. You would think that they would make their online option as close to their Desktop option so that migrating customers would have an easy time. The worst part is that if you have inventory that you need to track, when you migrate from Desktop for Mac, it does NOT bring in your inventory accurately in any way. This was a dealbreaker for me. Be very careful about migrating if you track inventory. So for all the shortcomings of Desktop, I still prefer it over QBO.

Chrome River is slow and full of inconsistencies. Capturing invoices is confusing, as you have to assign approvers and coding at that time. No time to save it and research those details. It has multiple screens labeled inbox but are for different stages in the approval process that aren't specified unless you go into the invoice and review. When you go to exit the invoice, it takes you back to the main menu instead of the inbox you were currently working in. It is live, but the updates are every 10-15 minutes as opposed to immediately.

• My private consulting practice slowed down when I chose to only support QuickBooks for Mac clients because there are far fewer QuickBooks for Mac clients than their are clients using other QuickBooks. I chose instead to focus on online accounting options, apps that integrate with online accounting options, and sustainability accounting as a tool for business success.

• Yooz helped us process thousands of invoices in a more efficient manner than our previous process called Checkbook with Bank of America.
• Yooz allowed for a more efficient invoice approval process than the previous systems that were used. If the invoices were three way matched, they would be processed quicker.
• Yooz made the integration of the invoice and credit memo process into NetSuite more efficient than the previous software, however, there some limitations with Yooz because it did allow for duplicate invoices to be processed, and that was a big issue.
