QuickBooks Online Vs Cloud Hosted QuickBooks
In order to understand the difference between QuickBooks Online and Hosted QuickBooks, we need to know 3 versions of QuickBooks.
1. Desktop QuickBooks
2. QuickBooks Online
Desktop QuickBooks edition
The QuickBooks desktop edition has many features that help you a lot in
bookkeeping & maintaining accounts. Inventory tracking, currency
calculator, company overview and much more are functionalities of it. But the
desktop edition of the QuickBooks does not help you in accessing applications
from anywhere via the internet.
QuickBooks Online Edition (QBOE)
QuickBooks Online Edition or the QBOE is the version developed based on
the demands of clients wishing to access several applications via the internet.
This helps in accessing services via the internet from anywhere. But QBOE has
its own drawbacks too. What exactly? Let us put some light on the same in this
article.
Restrictions of QBOE
• QuickBooks restrict you from enjoying certain functionalities that you
were able to get through the desktop QuickBooks software. The functionalities
unavailable in the QBOE are:
1. Inventory tracking - Inventory tracking is available in the desktop
QuickBooks edition but the online edition does not help you in tracking
inventories.
2. Purchase orders - Purchase orders functionality is taken away in the
online edition.
3. Company overview - Company overview cannot be perceived via the
online edition of the QuickBooks.
4. Currency calculator - Currency calculator which made calculating an
easy task in the desktop edition is not available in the QuickBooks Online
Edition.
• QuickBooks Online Edition becomes too expensive if the users of it
have too many clients. How? Charges are applied based on the number of files to
be maintained. Hence it does not suit people who have too many clients and in
turn, too many files to be managed.
So what is the alternative that helps in enjoying the full functionality
you enjoyed in a desktop version of QuickBooks and also the accessibility via
the internet that you enjoy through QBOE? The answer is QuickBooks Cloud
Hosting!
QuickBooks Cloud Hosting
QuickBooks Cloud Hosting contains the best features of both worlds - the
desktop version of QuickBooks and the QBOE. Functionality-wise it is as strong
as the desktop version and convenience-wise it is as strong as the Online
Edition. Yes! It is the true package becoming the solution for all your
concerns.
What is required for QuickBooks Cloud Hosting?
A hosting provider is the main requirement of QuickBooks Hosting. The
hosting providers install the desktop version of QuickBooks not on your side
but on their server. This helps you in accessing the QuickBooks software from
devices on your side - that too from anywhere via the internet. The Secure
Socket Layer technology or the SSL technology makes sure that the
confidentiality of the data transmitted is not compromised. 128-bit encryption
is used for ensuring the safety of the data.
Cloud-based technology is used which has qualities like the security of
data & ease of use. An additional safety measure is also taken - all files
that you transfer are backed up without any flaws! Cloud technology is the
state of the art technology used by everyone now a day and this helps in
increasing the compatibility and accessibility ratio too.
Differences between QuickBooks Online edition and the cloud Hosted
QuickBooks
Let us make the differences between QBOE and Cloud
Hosted QuickBooks clearer by bringing them to certain
points given below.
1. QuickBooks Cloud Hosting supports more functionalities than the
QuickBooks Online Edition - All functionalities of QuickBooks desktop version
are available in QuickBooks Cloud Hosting but not in QuickBooks Online Edition.
2. QuickBooks Online Edition is not as cost-effective as QuickBooks
Cloud Hosting for users who have many clients - QuickBooks Online Edition
charges per file and the same makes it expensive for users having many clients.
The reason is that too many files are needed to be maintained to manage many
clients and in turn, QBOE becomes highly expensive as charges are applicable on
each file. On the other hand such kind of charges is not applicable on Hosted
QuickBooks edition user and hence it is more cost-effective. You can also go
for additional space by paying a little more in the Cloud Hosting version of
QuickBooks.
Transparent processes and outcome driven approach are add-ons. Hosting
services not limited only to lightning fast QUICKBOOKS HOSTING but also
extended to TSO HOSTING for accounting professionals, CPAs & business
owners (small & medium sized ones). data connection security and
intoxicatingly secure control panel.
