Acumatica
Background
QuickBooks from Intuit provides users with an affordable and beginner-friendly accounting package. However, its capabilities are primarily focused on basic accounting tasks. To effectively manage broader business operations beyond finance, including areas like manufacturing and distribution, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution like Acumatica is necessary. Below, we outline a comparison between Acumatica and QuickBooks Enterprise, which is Intuit's advanced QuickBooks offering.
QuickBooks Enterprise offers the option for both on-premises installation and cloud hosting. It's important to note that Acumatica and QuickBooks serve different purposes, making a direct comparison challenging. However, the goal here is to highlight the benefits of transitioning from QuickBooks to an ERP system and the advantages of selecting Acumatica.
Differentiators
Acumatica was designed and built as a cloud-native application suite. QuickBooks Enterprise is a client-server architecture that can be “hosted” in the cloud. It does not feature cloud-native capabilities such as access via a standard web browser only, a true mobile-friendly user interface, nor seamless product upgrades.
Acumatica offers a complete ERP and CRM solution, including vertical-specific modules. QuickBooks Enterprise is limited to Financials Management, Payroll, Order Management, Inventory, and Pricing.
QuickBooks uses a proprietary database and does not provide a true export function, requiring a third-party utility to access the underlying database. Acumatica allows users to export their full database at any time for any reason.
Both products are available through subscription licensing, but Acumatica also offers alternate options to accommodate customers’ unique requirements. Check Acumatica ERP Pricing.
Acumatica allows you to scale as your company grows without penalty and can accommodate multiple companies, multiple languages, and multiple currencies. QuickBooks Enterprise limits you to a maximum of 40 users and struggles with supporting “multi-“ capabilities.
Acumatica provides a much greater return on investment (ROI) due to its industry-leading functionality, modern and future-proof technology platform, customer-friendly business practices, and unlimited user pricing model.
