Considered Both Products	Priority Software Verified User Chose AccountEdge Originally the decision was made for us when Quickbooks abandoned Mac users for a number of years. However, now that QuickBooks has returned to serving the Mac market, we are satisfied with AccountEdge's support of our platform. The user-friendly interface has made it easy for … Incentivized Helpful? John Readwin Digital Life Coach in Information Technology at Just Call John (Computer Software, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge More complete feature set, i.e. time tracking Incentivized Helpful? Dan Workman Owner at Dan Workman Music (Entertainment, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge I have considered Quickbooks, but a cursory use did not lead me to believe that it was a good replacement for us. I might take a look again in the future if we can't link bank accounts to AccountEdge soon. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AccountEdge I haven't tried any alternatives other than using Quicken for my personal use. Incentivized Helpful? Edward Komyshyn Owner / CEO in Information Technology at Personal Computing - Professional Service (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge Originally Account Edge topped out other comparable accounting suites with the feature set sought after for account management, order-invoice creation & user based role deployment on the server side out to workstation use. This has not changed to current revision & we are … Incentivized Helpful? Jay Crabtree President in Corporate at Auxo Medical, LLC (Hospital & Health Care, 11-50 employees) Chose AccountEdge I think AccountEdge is superior to Peachtree, which is not a high bar. Its compatibility with MAC OS is good, but I think Xero will be taking much of the Mac based customers as it appears to be a better product. Incentivized Helpful? joAnn Ortiz Owner at FlyDragon Consulting (Professional Training & Coaching, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge My hands down preference is to keep my accounting off of the cloud but that is not always the case with my clients. So, to make this comparison somewhat fair I will consider only the items containing parity in cloud vs desktop. AccountEdge vs Xero. AccountEdge has superior … Incentivized Helpful? Thomas Healy Shareholder in Finance and Accounting at Thomas E Healy CPA PC (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge A number of my clients use QuickBooks, mostly on PCs, so I'm quite familiar with what it does. I'm just glad I'm using AccountEdge for my own accounting, because it's more straightforward and doesn't create 'hidden' transactions. Some years ago, a client on QuickBooks … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AccountEdge I have not used any other accounting software. Incentivized Helpful? Brent Blackburn Owner in Finance and Accounting at Keeping Books & Computing Consulting LLC (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge For Mac enthusiasts, AccountEdge is the complete installed software solution for small to medium-sized businesses, as it has so many capabilities that QuickBooks for Mac lacks. However, it holds your hand less than QuickBooks for Mac does, so you ought to know what your are … Helpful? Sharon L. Nash Personal Angel with a Financial Background in Corporate at Sharon L Nash (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge Some of my clients use QuickBooks, some use AccountEdge. Hands down I prefer the user friendliness of AccountEdge over QuickBooks. There is no comparison in the return on profit when having the proper tools to be able to do a task efficiently and quickly. The more time wasted … Incentivized Helpful? Jeremy Doyle Director, Special Accounts in Sales at Lake Industries Company (Consumer Goods, 11-50 employees) Chose AccountEdge AccountEdge had already been implemented when I started working at Lake Industries.I have some experience in several other accounting & CRM software. AccountEdge has really come together in the last couple of years. The software is strong, easy-to-use, and great for daily … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose AccountEdge AccountEdge is a much easier product to learn, and it is also much better integrated. That being said, AccountEdge could definitely use a few updates to bring it forward into today's world of technology. Incentivized Helpful? Valerie Gabriel Customer Service/Sales Representative/Social Media Manager in Customer Service at Creative Drinks, Inc. (Wholesale, 11-50 employees) Chose AccountEdge AccountEdge is more adaptable as a large and diverse inventory control system. Incentivized Helpful?

Linda Gonzales Bookkeeper, Payroll Administrator in Finance and Accounting at Eads & Associates, Inc. (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge I have a client who is in the firearms manufacturing industry that makes components.

Amy Griffie, MBA Owner and Electrical Contractor in Corporate at Griffie Electric, LLC (Construction, 1-10 employees) Chose AccountEdge I have used QuickBooks in the past and, although I really liked it when I started with them, when I switched to a Mac computer they were not at all compatible.
