Pros
The desk top version is economical for our purposes. The reports are easy to produce for our board, and the file can be easily shared with our accountant.
Cons
I'm sure we could be using project management and budgeting features better but with so many separate projects going on at the same time with different start and end dates, I haven't been able to find a way to do this.

Pros
It's performant, does user management, roles, and reporting well and provides a solid foundation for a small business.
Cons
It could be more intuitive and take 'less clicks' to get a job done - pre-made reports for example, common tasks, or less than three screen to change something in a journal entry..

These LLCs used to each have their own QBE file and now we have them all listed under the larger company within QBO. Reporting takes literally 1/6 of the time that it used to for the same information.
Pros
Searches are quick, reports are super easy to customize and export. It's available everywhere that you have an internet connection.
Cons
This is mostly due to poor optimization by the third-party application developers but it does affect some of the things that I use daily when these apps are active.

Our directors and managers and board members need to have access to reports about each show and its success, our donations and fundraising efforts and our expenses in real-time in order to make decisions quickly.
Pros
That it is accessible by many people in our organization in real time and that access is customizable by user.
Cons
I am used to the keyboard shortcuts and the ability to upload data for invoicing, deposits and journal entries.

Recommendations to others considering QuickBooks Online Advanced
See if you can start with Online, thats where its headed. I hate having a one seat version of QB but the network version is way overpriced for how much we need it.
I would recommend Quickbooks to small organizations that need a basic accounting software, small to mid volume of vendors/invoices.
Pros
Easy to use (General Ledger) Some flexibility downloading information to Excel (General Ledger) Price
Cons
Fixed Assets functionality is only available in Single-User mode Merchant activity is not applied automatically as promised if you have more than one GL account Reports are very rigid It does not have a report designer that gives the flexibility to download information Unable to upload activity from Excel without a 3rd party software It does not have account reconciliation system to keep track of balance sheet accounts

It took me about two months as the CFO to realize this product was not going to work for what our current and long term needs were going to be. We went out and found a new system and implemented within 6 months.
Pros
Easy to use for a small business or organization that is not to concerned about in depth reporting or data analysis
Cons
Not powerful or customizable enough for our use and not able to track with the detail that we needed to make smart business decisions.

We have realized much richer reporting, faster data entry and uploads, connection to multiple apps such as Bill.com, and a wealth of information readily available through QuickBooks training, online experts, and even YouTube videos.
Pros
In today's digital age, we don't often need all the complexity - just the natural, simple, and efficient financial management systems.
Cons
The only thing we haven't liked is that our transition from MIP had to be done manually.

Pros
Now, QBO allows me to bring a clearer picture of our finances with the use of charts and advanced reports. So now with QBO Advanced I can take our accounting to a higher level with all the added features.
Cons
I wish there was an added donor management software or non-profit version to go along with QBO.

It is NOT designed for that (too transparent / not enough control over access & flow for that).
Pros
Custom reports & pay bills features make work efficient!
Cons
I find it fairly intuitive but there are some minor things that are not as intuitive in the menu navigation. The search is a bit wonky (sometimes displays duplicate transactions, but it's obvious because of identical timestamp).
