QuickBooks Desktop Premier vs. TallyPrime

We really think that ANY typical business would be a reasonable fit for QuickBooks Desktop Premier. While not necessary, even a comparatively unexperienced accounting person could look at the "Home" screen and follow their nose thru typical daily accounting processes without much detailed knowledge. Reporting is simple, looking up customer info and prior transactions is simple, looking up vendors and prior payments is simple... all in all, quite straightforward. I really can't think of an instance where it would be 'less appropriate'.

When talking about the best, It suits best for accounting the day to day transaction along with reporting the summary of transaction in comparison with other accounting software like Zoho Books for instance, which we used earlier for accounting transactions. I feel TallyPrime is the leader in the industry. Regarding the less appropirate scenarios are its User interface. which needs to be carved further in future, recommended to come up with a Customized Theming option as users generally feel not so comfortable with the same colors every time. Change is generally expected to include customized vibrant colors. I'm curios watch the developments in future.

• Support for older versions of QuickBooks ends after three years, then users must purchase the newest version at full price. Renewals should be deeply discounted for existing users.
• I would like to see better in-product inventory tracking, so we can choose LIFO or FIFO rather than the ambiguous "average cost" method.
• I would like to be able to assign payroll taxes to jobs for better job costing.

• TDL related automation is something that I'm very curious and TallyPrime should invest time to develop it and provide Knowledge training on it.
• I feel the necessity to introduce the TallyPrime software access in a handheld device access or via web such that on the go transaction can be made noted in TallyPrime without resorting to Desktop environment
• The UI should also be changed currently, whenever I sit, I use keyboard like a typewriter and that aesthetic must be modified with a feature
• The theming feature should be introduced in the TallyPrime, earlier, in TallyERP 9, we have green color screen with some shades of green and now that they have changed that to some blue with bluish shade, I'm curious to have customized colors.

Because we have been extremely happy with the product and our organization tends to be creatures of habit. We rarely leave a product that works this well for the latest and greatest. Typically we follow the "if it's not broken, don't fix it rule". While QB does make changes we typically just roll with it. If we do find something we don't like we work through it until we fully understand its functionality.

We switched to a more "robust" software program with the hiring of a new CFO. The migration of historical data and ancillary information has been cumbersome and riddle with errors and issues. In hindsight much of what the new software program was touted to accomplish is not come to fruition. QB Desktop Premier was sufficient for the organization needs

I use it regularly, so I feel it as best apart from the User Interface. For recording general day to day transactions, it is apt and to go far beyond given features and for customization, there is a need for the Tally expert to assess the business requirement, So I feel the rating is apt in this judgement.

This is very reliable software, the desktop version is fast. If there is a problem, it is most likely on your own hardware!

This is where QuickBooks falls short. Many times my staff has had questions that have not been able to get resolved easily with a chat or call. I personally have had more general questions that have not been answered easily as well. I think QuickBooks needs to provide the resources of having readily accessible help in order to make it simpler to get solutions.

It is important to do your research. There are tutorial videos online that could help new user of this accounting system. These tutorials are straightforward and easily understandable.

QuickBooks Premier handles most of my business functions efficiently in one package. It is not my "everything." I use Replicon for time rather than QuickBooks. I don't want my WIP data interfering with my accounting. I use PaySimple for it's web interface and back office processing. I don't have security issues since I don't have any credit card data in my possession. With today's identity theft environment, I have to protect myself as much as I can. Not having credit card data in my accounting software lets me sleep much better at night. Quicken will do basic accounting but does not have all the double entry accounting systems contained in QuickBooks. QuickBooks Online does much of the basic business functions but I don't like the pricing structure. As a professional accountant, that is very important to me. Bill.com provided a good service but the ability of QuickBooks to add bills and receipts to transactions makes it redundant.

TallyPrime often appeals to small to medium-sized businesses due to its affordability. Its strength in inventory management and tax compliance may make it a top choice for retail or business clients in regions with complex tax regulations. Real saviour when it comes to companies with production and inventory management. Thank you Team for the software.
