Okay, but no 4K monitor support
4 Stars
Okay, but no 4K monitor support
I was hoping that QB2018 would support 4K monitors. It does not. You cannot even use the new multi-monitor mode unless your display scaling is set at 100%. Most 4K monitors need 150% or 200% for display scaling to be usable. The attached screenshot shows QB2018 running on a 4K monitor at a scale of 150%. Note the small text in some places, the truncated address bar, etc. Other areas in the program also exhibit very small text, especially in the payroll area. For other techies reading this, my system is a Windows 10 Pro system with dual 4K monitors running at 150% display scale. The qbw32.exe module reports itself to windows as being "system aware" of DPI Awareness. It obviously is not. In my opinion software should not report itself as being DPI aware when it is not. The default sandboxing that Windows does for non-DPI Aware apps would be preferable to running an app with tiny text and buttons.I had to upgrade to QB2018, since my QB2015 (which also does not support 4K monitors) will no longer support payroll in a few months. Other than the display scaling, the software works well.

I'm an accountant and I'm familiar with QuickBooks so it's very easy for QuickBooks to be used. It's an easy set-up as well. I don't like the fact the payroll is not included with his programming at pay for a separate and now it's apparently more expensive monthly is not like before we if you had payroll you can add the employees for $10 software is getting way too expensive in my opinion

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing service from Intuit

Amazing service from Intuit. Once I downloaded the software I had a terrible time moving my data from the old file. The folks at Intuit worked closely with me for 3 days to covert the files and assist me with the conversion. They were all exceptionally nice and very kind to a user who is NOT an IT expert my any stretch of the imagination. There were some negative online reviews from others, but I have to say the customer service was incredible!

If you are upgrading from a program that is 4 years or older you will need Intuit's help!

4.0 out of 5 stars Upgrade from my *2003* Quickbooks worked flawlessly! Pleased with speed and features
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2017
Verified Purchase
So far I'm VERY happy with this product. Only gave 4 of 5 stars and I'll explain why.

I'm HAPPY because...
- It converted *ALL* my data (so it appears) from my older *2003* version of Quickbooks. I expected a horror, but instead was delighted with ease data migration!
- Fairly clear Installation Options, considering what appears to be a more complex DBMS than the older version
- Useful dashboard that is running very quickly on my newer computer. Immediately getting useful insights from it
- Upgrade price was reasonable
- e-mail-integration setup worked without difficulty
- Amazon.com download was simple

Only FOUR of five STARS because...
- Cannot keep the company file on a "file server" (Netgear NAS). ALL my small-business files are stored on a NAS for redundancy and cross-computer access -- having to keep the company file on a *LOCAL* drive of a single computer is truly NOT DESIRABLE, and puts me at risk of single point of failure. It also requires my "quickbooks computer" to be on in order to access my records on my 2nd computer.
- Related to this, I couldn't even see my network drives without directly typing the \\SERVERNAME syntax
- Some of the interface elements are restricted/dated, and ought to be updated IMO. For example, you can't multi-select in many of the lists, right-click, then take action. I think there's lots of room for improvement, and in the 15 years since the version I upgraded from, it looks like they haven't been that great as I'd have expected/hoped

1.0 out of 5 stars But I am really sorry that I upgraded to this version given the amount of time that is wasted and continues to be wasted
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018
Verified Purchase
I have had to spend hours on the phone with technical support just for every step of installation. I had to install it on two different computers two separate days and two different locations. Each times it took technical support hours to do the installation. That is after I spent a great deal of time myself. I have done multiple installations before with many other software but this one is full of glitches. It is slow to open, slow to update. I was forced into getting this since I could not longer update credit card data. I was hoping that it would save me time. I have already paid someone to enter data in it so I can not go back. But I am really sorry that I upgraded to this version given the amount of time that is wasted and continues to be wasted. Time is money. The stress and aggravation that it causes alone makes it not worthwhile.

The program seems clunky and it takes a while to just open.

I am not in the process of getting in it again and the update process of this version has wasted 30 more minutes and even though I went through the update process it is still giving me messages that it needs an update. If I had not already put in data I would have returned this. I expect more from a company that makes so much money. They need better software developers.

3.0 out of 5 stars The most popular small business accounting software. Backup, backup, backup!
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2018
Verified Purchase
Install is relatively easy for single machine. If your company file is old, be prepared for some maintenance during conversion to 2018. I have used QuickBooks since 2008 and it is very full-featured. I maintain a relatively low rating because of the problems running in a server-based environment. In addition, because of the intricate nature of keeping all your accounting data consistent, it needs frequent backups. The QuickBooks files are delicate and can get corrupted easily. I cannot emphasize strongly enough the need for frequent backups.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless technical support that was trial and error, not professional
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2019
Verified Purchase
Having paid for 3 months of Quickbooks tech support to resolve a technical glitch occurring with downloaded data from my bank, with no resolution or offer to replace the software, this has been very disappointing. I have already conveyed my dissatisfaction to Intuit when they asked for a performance review, but have received no response or further assistance. The bank takes no responsibility for the data being downloaded in its entirety, dating back to 2015, instead of limiting the download to the increment of data not yet entered into Quickbooks since the previous download. At this point, my choices are to continue to work around the problem and live with it, or replace the software with a different licensed product at my additional expense.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is not the cloud version-thankfully we can still have a desktop version!
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017
Verified Purchase
The other reviews concerned me because they are referencing the cloud version which I did not want since I am generating invoices on the road without an Internet connection on my laptop. This is the desktop standalone version as I had hoped and it works and installed perfectly converting my 2014 data to this version. I'm guessing the other reviewers were reviewing the wrong product. Hopefully this clears up some confusion for future purchasers.
