Review (2/5): Dinosaur.
You can tell Intuit is feeling the pressure and knows they're losing relevance by the way they've put this together. Quickbooks itself is fine. It works. It does what quickbooks does (which is create headaches and break regularly, along with compromising your security and privacy if you don't lock it down). However, when you pay $250-300 for some software, the software is only a small part of the package.
Customer service and tech help are the two biggest parts of the package, and well.... They're just crap....
Making the payroll side of this a subscription system after charging an extra $100 is just greedy. Forget it. I can find open source payroll systems that're more secure, easier to use and free sans the donation I will make out of appreciation for work well done.
If you're going to charge a subscription, don't make me pay up front. If you want me to pay up front, don't charge a subscription. Under no circumstances will I tolerate double dipping from a software company.
Sadly I'm a bit too lazy to move all of my information over to another system just yet, so it looks like I'm stuck with QB's not-so-funny little quirks for another year.
