    Chose Zoho Books
    Zoho Books has a much simpler GUI and the reason we selected Zoho is because of the integration of Zoho Books across other applications and especially into Zoho products. One of the other reasons is the time log feature we can easily pair up with a client service ticket to show …

    Chose Zoho Books
    equally comparable to other payment processing made online, the benefit of using Zoho is that it has so many other apps and tools that are easily integrated like Zoho Sign, e.g. for sending out quotes etc. but also can be connected via an API to many other commercial platforms …

    Much simpler than QuickBooks Desktop. For our needs, the pricing for Zoho Books when bought through a Zoho One subscription was a much better value. Our outside Audit firm was also able to follow Zoho Books much easier than our previous records.

    I found Zoho Books to be more intuitive and user friendly. I also appreciated that it is cloud based, unlike the versions of QB I had used in the past. So our team was able to work remotely when needed, which was especially helpful during a pandemic.

    We had a lot of problems with Exact Online, support-wise and price-wise. So Zoho Books wins on every point there. While Exact offers way more options, it tends to be really slow... and complex. Again Zoho Books wins.

    I believe it is way easier to use, has more robust features, seamless integration with other Zoho apps like CRM, Projects, etc. is super useful and has saved a lot of time. Streamlining this process has been easy, and the end result is better reporting, improved decision making …

    • QuickBooks Online is much harder to use than Zoho Books. We found that Zoho Books was easy to train staff, and the online help is excellent.
    • Qickbooks Desktop is endlessly buggy, requiring frequent IT support calls and a dedicated server for multi-user access.
    • Online payments for …

    Cloud vs. desktop, this and the fact that Zoho Books syncs with our other Zoho apps were the most pressing reasons for switching to Zoho Books. As mentioned previously, we consider our accounting software to be an integral part of doing business efficiently, and we can now do …

    [QuickBooks and Zoho] are very comparable until you open your wallet. While they are both neck-and-neck with one another in features, QuickBooks does have the integration advantage. There are many more platforms that integrate with QB than Zoho Books. But Zoho has so many …

    Zoho Books was an easy choice for us because of the features and smaller learning curve. Most of our staff have been able to come in and learn how to use it within hours versus the days it used to take to learn QuickBooks. Also being online, we are able to have real-time stats …

    Quickbooks is the standard. ZOHO Books will give it a run for its money. Your accountant may not like the fact that you switch over to Zoho Books, but since it's completely web-based, you are able to give them access to your account easily.

    The main difference here was the time tracking functionality that goes to a project specific nature. We do multiple projects with the same client and need to be able to split our time amongst those different projects for the purpose of reporting and invoicing.

    Zoho Books is plain clunky. It does integrate with their CRM and other apps and that was why I had been attracted to it. But if you are in Australia, be very careful if you are moving from Zoho invoices. You won't get transferred data to the Australian platform and you will …
