QuickBooks Point of Sale: Basic V7.0 w/Hardware Review

QuickBooks Point of Sale: Basic V7.0 w/Hardware
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I found that Quickbooks Point of Sale is extremely versitile. I have used the software for both a retail store and a resturaunt. The software worked flawlessly. It was a huge help in helping me realize the state of my business. Having both sales and inventory information in one place helps you to realize key trends and stock your store accordingly.
I have been using Quickbooks Point of Sale since it's begining. Allowing me to see see the evolution of the product as a result. I have learned that Intuit is paying attention to the needs of small business. For example the main enhancement between version 7 and 6 is the incorporation of eccommerce principals, which I feel is an emerging trend for small business. The new changes help bring small business up to speed with larger businesses.
Additionally you will find that Intuit will also offer accessories that work seamlessly with the software. This is a huge benefit that I have yet to find in anyother point of sale program.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This program refused to install on my window 7 units; 32 or 64 verison. This is after I exchanged the program twice - same result; Called the tech support and it still doesn't work.
However, It does works on my old xp machine; I haven't test it on my mac yet - but I think it should work okay.
But seeing how their software had been plague by tech issues - (last year, I also exchanged the disk twice due to disks failure, one had no program on it.) I am guessing I will start using other tax program next year - too bad too because they were great programs.

QuickBooks Point of Sale Pro 10.0 (2011) Upgrade Review

QuickBooks Point of Sale Pro 10.0 (2011) Upgrade
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am so sorry I ever bought this software.
I helped my wife set up this POS software for her retail store. We wanted barcoded inventory control and good integration with QuickBooks Pro (financial).
Despite the fact that we have a graduate degree in computer science, and experience with accounting, we spent many long nights fixing problems and bugs in this software. Our expectations were pretty low based on reviews we had read--but this software has been much worse.
To add insult to injury, you're constantly given pop-up ads trying to sell you additional Intuit features. Less insulting is the well known fact that some important features are disabled in the Basic software and you need to upgrade to Pro to do things like editing the layout of price tags.
If the software crashes on you (and I personally guarantee it will), and you call support, they will tell you you need to buy a support contract. When your system is down due to their incompetence, this is a big insult.
The software would be workable if it was stable and did what it advertised. Intuit needs to halt adding new features to this software, hire a better software team, and just spend some time stabilizing the product. It is to flaky for production use. Here are maybe half of the bugs we have ran in to:
- Prints barcodes too small (way out of spec for most readers) on Zebra zlp 2824 plus printer (officially supported, according to intuit). Their response: upgrade to Pro so you can use label designer. This is classic bait and switch. (Contact me if you'd like to share legal expenses and go after them on this).
- Rename company file, rename back, deletes all your backups
- End of day Z-out and drawer count. choose Custom time period, choose time. That time becomes default for any subsequent "Today" Z-out reports. Drawer is off. If you run "Custom" again with correct time and date (today, 12-12), it then ignores the deposit so your drawer is off again next time you do a regular "Today" z-out drawer count.
- Warning about QBF has changed to new company file is not dependable--- we got our warning a week later after we noticed it ourselves and used QBF to compare the two files (which must have triggered the late warning--which was then triggered multiple times, clicking OK 3 times in a row still did not allow end of day financial data exchange to proceed--had to cancel and try again).
- Popup dialog "Problem: some of your changes are still being updated. Solution: Please wait for the dashboard to complete the update and try again". Cannot close POS, thus cannot reboot cleanly. May need to kill process.
- Credit card processing stopped working suddenly. multiple days of many hour calls with SW tech support in India did not resolve problems. Staff left our computer firewalls open, changed our company file and generally messed things up. Reconfigured all windows networking, killed POS SW, rebooted, and days later it started working again but cut out once and required another reboot.
- When entering credit card information manually, sometimes you can enter a voice auth. number and bypass network authentication, other times you cannot. Seems to depend on which order you click on fields in the GUI but it really works only randomly.

QuickBooks Point of Sale Software & Hardware 9.0 Review

QuickBooks Point of Sale Software and Hardware 9.0
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using POS 7.0 in my retail business for almost 2 years. The software saves a lot of time by transferring data to Quickbooks accounting software. Where the trouble arises is that it crashes ALL THE TIME. During 20 months of use, I'd had to call support 18 times because it does not work. May times it's the same issue, but new ones crop up from time to time as well. Intuit will then try to relieve you of an additional $80 per month for a support plan to fix things that keep breaking. So, if you are considering this software, go in with the knowledge that it will cost you downtime and an additional $80 per month for them to fix things that keep corrutpting files, creating duplictes file names in your data (bringing it all to a screeching halt) and a host of other ills that seem to be, in my opinion, built in bugs. They politely tell me that computers are complicated things and many items can cause problems, but I have NO problems with any other piece of software. VERY frustrating!
