Recensione di QuickBooks Online: vantaggi, svantaggi, funzionalità e panoramica dei prezzi
Perché fidarsi dei nostri consigli sui software
Il nostro team testa e recensisce software dal 2012. In quanto leader del retail noi stessi, sappiamo quanto sia difficile — e importante — scegliere il software giusto.
Per questa guida, abbiamo valutato gli strumenti attraverso test pratici e ricerche indipendenti, assegnando un punteggio agli strumenti in base ai nostri criteri di selezione.
Le nostre recensioni riflettono il nostro giudizio indipendente, non un discorso di vendita.
La Nostra Metodologia di Recensione
Come Testiamo e Valutiamo gli Strumenti
Abbiamo trascorso anni a costruire, perfezionare e migliorare il nostro sistema di test e valutazione dei software. Il nostro schema di valutazione è progettato per cogliere le sfumature della selezione dei software e per comprendere cosa rende uno strumento efficace, concentrandosi su aspetti critici del processo decisionale. Qui sotto puoi vedere esattamente come funzionano i nostri test e valutazioni attraverso sette criteri. Questo ci permette di fornire una valutazione imparziale del software basata su funzionalità principali, caratteristiche distintive, facilità d’uso, onboarding, supporto clienti, integrazioni, recensioni dei clienti e rapporto qualità-prezzo.
Funzionalità di base (25% della valutazione finale)
Il punto di partenza della nostra valutazione è sempre la funzionalità principale dello strumento. Ha le funzioni e le caratteristiche di base che un utente si aspetterebbe? Alcune di queste funzionalità sono bloccate a piani tariffari di livello superiore? Alla base, ci aspettiamo che uno strumento regga il confronto con le capacità minime dei suoi concorrenti.
Caratteristiche distintive (25% della valutazione finale)
Successivamente valutiamo caratteristiche distintive e non comuni che vadano oltre la normale funzionalità presente in strumenti simili. Un punteggio alto riflette funzionalità specializzate o uniche che rendono il prodotto più veloce, efficiente o che offrano valore aggiunto all’utente. Valutiamo anche quanto sia facile integrare il software con altri strumenti della consueta infrastruttura tecnologica per espanderne la funzionalità e l’utilità. Gli strumenti che offrono molte integrazioni native, connessioni di terze parti e accesso API per costruire integrazioni personalizzate ottengono il punteggio più alto.
Facilità d’uso (10% della valutazione finale)
Consideriamo quanto sia rapido e semplice eseguire le attività definite nelle funzionalità di base utilizzando lo strumento. I software che ottengono un punteggio alto sono ben progettati, intuitivi, offrono app mobili, modelli pronti e rendono compiti complessi relativamente semplici.
Onboarding (10% della valutazione finale)
Sappiamo quanto sia importante una rapida adozione da parte del team per una nuova piattaforma, quindi valutiamo quanto sia facile imparare a usare uno strumento con una formazione minima. Esaminiamo quanto tempo impiega un membro del team a configurarsi e iniziare a utilizzare lo strumento senza esperienza. Le soluzioni con punteggi elevati richiedono poco o nessun supporto.
Supporto clienti (10% della valutazione finale)
Valutiamo quanto sia rapido e facile ricevere assistenza e trovare aiuto tramite telefono, live chat o base di conoscenza. Gli strumenti e le aziende che forniscono un supporto in tempo reale ottengono i punteggi migliori, mentre i chatbot hanno i punteggi più bassi.
Recensioni dei clienti (10% della valutazione finale)
Oltre ai nostri test e valutazioni, consideriamo il net promoter score dei clienti attuali e passati. Esaminiamo la loro propensione, data la possibilità, a scegliere nuovamente lo strumento per le sue funzionalità di base. Un punteggio elevato riflette un alto net promoter score da clienti attuali o passati.
Rapporto qualità-prezzo (10% della valutazione finale)
Infine, considerando tutti gli altri criteri, valutiamo il prezzo medio dei piani base rispetto alle funzionalità fondamentali e teniamo in considerazione il valore degli altri criteri di valutazione. Il software che offre di più, a meno, ottiene punteggi più alti.
