FAQ about Hosted Quickbooks 

Isn’t there a remote access feature already built into QuickBooks?

Only QuickBooks Premier offers a remote access feature.  However, even with this service, only one user at a time may take control over one remote computer.  A user must be physically present at each computer to set up a session—ideal for training demos or financial presentations, but unsatisfactory for telecommuting or outsourced bookkeeping.

I know QuickBooks Online doesn’t offer the full features of QuickBooks, but aren’t web plug-ins available for the missing features? 

While some of the missing features are available through plug-ins, many are not.

With NovelASPect’s QuickBooks Hosting, what are the differences in my remote and local QuickBooks access?

None!  Because your QuickBooks is hosted on our secure server, you are using the same version of QuickBooks no matter where you login.  You are running Quickbooks over the internet.

With NovelASPect’s QuickBooks Hosting, can I still get a physical copy of my files?

Yes.  You can download your company file anytime to create a backup copy on your local computer.  QuickBooks Online does not offer this service.

How does QuickBooks Hosting simplify PC maintenance? 

In short, QuickBooks Hosting removes the need to install or run QuickBooks on your PC.  You run your software via a web-browser.  NovelASPect manages all software maintenance and upgrades, automatically.

NovelASPect offers Citrix Hosting.  What are the differences between Quickbooks Web Hosting with Citrix and Terminal Services Hosting?

Remote access for Quickbooks with Citrix Hosting is significantly faster than running Quickbooks in terminal services environments.  Studies show that Citrix operates three to four times faster than Microsoft Terminal Services and uses about 73% less bandwidth.  Citrix’s applications work and appear as local applications with an icon on your desktop.  Microsoft Terminal Services demand that you logon to a remote desktop—amounting to three or four mouse clicks before you are able to access your application.  Terminal Services’ performance speed is affected by factors outside of your company’s control, such as Microsoft network latency.

Citrix offers additional advantages not available with Microsoft Terminal Services.  When faced with slow Internet speeds, such as a dial-up connection, Terminal Services will not work.  While Citrix supports many operating systems, such as Windows, MAC, Linux, Java, Unix, IBM OS/2 and DOS Clients, Terminal Services supports only Windows Clients.  Citrix supports high-resolution graphics; Terminal Services graphics are typically grainy, with delayed access.  Citrix offers flawless printing—you’ll only see your own company’s printers, whereas with Terminal Services environments, you’ll see a pool of different printers from various Terminal Services’ clients.

Can the NovelASPect Quickbooks Cloud be accessed with a MAC?

NovelASPect is one of the few Citrix hosting providers that offers Quickbooks Cloud access through Citrix Hosting. Our Quickbooks Cloud allows users to access company files from Windows with Mac computers.  In fact, any operating system can be used to access your company file through Citrix.
