Are some Quickbooks plugins safer to use than others?
Absolutely. If the plugin in question uses .IIF files to transfer data to Quickbooks, we strongly recommend updating the plugin. The use of .IIF files (a largely expired practice among integrated application developers) can lead to company file corruption as the data validation steps of modern integration methods are non-existent among .IIF data transfer platforms. From a safety standpoint, we also recommend against the use of plugins which transmit your company file data over the internet. Web services are more susceptible to security vulnerabilities than applications operating behind the firewall of your local machine or network. When using our plugins, data from your Quickbooks company file will never be uploaded or accessible over the internet.
