![]() I don't have to worry about the data getting hacked, stolen, encrypted, etc. When I have a desktop that is NOT connected to the internet. As someone who has seen firsthand what these crazy hackers can do, I want no part of someone else keeping my data safe. All "cloud" means is putting your data on someone else's server and trusting them to keep it safe. Once you put the data in the cloud you lose control over it. *I* and I alone should have control of my data. This isn't so much about Quickbooks, it's about control of the data. And my accountant still charges $900/year with my QB file. If it was $360/year for inventory it might more acceptable, but $1020/year is just gouging. My accountant recommended Quickbooks in 1999 and it was great for 20 years until they discontinued the last desktop version in 2019. As a friend at Google said, "Hackers have to make money too." Hackers have breached everything and you can bet they're gunning for Intuit and all the associated online counterparts. They have all your financial records, client list, everything online-all waiting to be breached someday. They say they have to charge those rates because of all the development. And their customer service and tech support is terrible. For an annual subscription for small business without payroll but with inventory is $1020 compared to $350 for the desktop versions which last a few years. I've been using Quickbooks since 1999 and am still using 2019, turning off the wifi for that computer, because Quickbooks servers will eventually relay back to my computer and render the app unusable, like Adobe did to CS6. I also want a desktop non-subscription based accounting software. Please message the mods with any thought, ideas, etc (including feedback on the side-bar rules you just finished reading).
