 "sunsetting, money grubbing, software" | 2007-02-08 |

| I've tried to be a loyal Quickbooks Pro user for 5 years now and at first this company provided a competent accounting product that was decent after you learned its idiosyncracies. But each year you will be forced to update ($$$) or your tax tables will not be accurate, and each year some of the capabilities will be lost and you will have to pay for them to be restored ($$$), each year the program will be more expensive to update($$$). I am not an unreasonable business owner and I don't mind paying for good service, but Intuit has turned into a unethical, money grubbing monster. They sunset and disable your software every time you download an update, forcing updates and buying previously provided services (payroll tax tables, e-mailing invoices, printing 1099 and W2). This is especially true at year end, becuase they know they have you in a tax/year end crunch. Now they are even doing unauthorised billing of new services (last year they started charging quarterly fees for tax tables--this year they charge a mandatoy $300 payroll update as well as a $100 software update for the program itself.) Furthermore they charge your credit card without permission under the ruberic that its the same as the quarterly tax table fee. Honestly, consider some other program! This deceptive practice of software disabling and data blocking, combined with the dubious practice of sunsetting software every year has grown intolerable. I hope they get the class action suit they deserve. |

| This is a great product. It easily performs all the functions a small business needs, if it is to be taken seriously in the marketplace. I'm impressed at how seamless it integrates all the accounting functions. Essentially, you never enter information more than once and it always anticipates the most logical next step. My clients are impressed at receiving e-mailed estimates and invoices that are clear, timely and professional. This is a must! |

| I regret having purchased this product. I have not been able to use it for two months, after finally giving up trying to get it to work. I have a very nice laptop running Windows XP Home, and encountered many problems. I tried all of the avenues available to me through QuickBooks, online, via email, and on the telephone. I spent nearly 25 hours overall trying to get the numerous issues taken care of. Here are just a few: The program would not convert my Quicken data; random script errors when you try to access help topics within the product; the phone # provided in the payroll demo is invalid; None of my info was viewable after bank download - it spontaneously failed to download my bank account info, after having successfully downloaded it for about two weeks. I spent 2 & 1/2 hours on the phone trying to resolve just this one issue. Part of the problem lies in the fact that I was unable to speak to a customer service person who's first language was English. Each time I was on the phone, the customer service person seemed to continually ask me to re-describe the problem, then he/she would seem to be typing the info into the computer and waiting....then eventually telling me some solution to try, then eventually telling me they did not know what the problem was. Not helpful in any way, though very polite. I'm sorry to say that this is a terribly designed, convoluted, over-complicated, non-user-friendly item which I would like to toss over a cliff. |

 "Very comprehensive, and Very Cumbersome" | 2006-12-21 |

| I have used a lot of software, but I do not remember using much that is as difficult to use or learn than Quickbooks. I have learned it over time, but there seem to be several functions in it that could be done in fewer steps. I would not upgrade unless I absolutely had to. The program is usable, but I am not interested in investing a lot more money in it. It works for my small business, but I could still probably get by with Quicken, as I do not write checks on it. I do kind of wish I had stayed with Quicken. The most annoying thing about the program was that I was going credit card data downloads in Quicken, but when I changed to Quickbooks, it would not let me download data from my Quicken credit card, it wanted me to switch to a Quickbooks credit card, or ask permission of all my credit card providers. I appreciate the security, but since both programs are made by the same company, this just seemed like a scam. |

| I bought this for my dad as an upgrade, since he used the old version of Quickbooks (2002) and his tax guy bailed on him and never returned to upgrade. So, my father had 2 computers, one that was a dinosaur (6 years old!)and one that he just bought 2 years ago (top of the line at the time). He never got around to installing a version of quickbooks to his new pc so he always used his old one. I got fed up with him and his poor excuse for a number-crunching machine and bought this product for him. I backed up his old quickbooks company file to a few floppy disks, installed the 2006 version on his new computer, and the update was a snap. All I had to do was go through a few menus on 2006 and it asked for the floppies. I threw them in one by one, and it not only transferred ALL of his company information and ALL of his thousands of customer invoices and estimates to the new computer, it also updated to files to 2006 all in one "swing of the bat". E Z install, E Z company data transfer, all of this was installed and transferred within an hour (would have went faster if his old PC didn't take 10 minutes to boot up)! And to think, that was my first time dealing with Quickbooks. Not to meantion, I found it easier to navigate through the menus in comparing to 2002. A significant improvement over 2002, undoubtedly. |

 "Quickbooks Pro" | 2006-11-04 |
| - Reviewed By User: ADM9XRJ2JAOBT |
While not a true double-ledger accounting system, Quickbooks Pro does a commendable job in helping small-business owners manage their finances in an easy-to-understand way. Guided tours help set the stage, and navigating the sample company that comes with the product lets you see how the theory is applied in real-life situations. The only downside to the product is that the Wizard for setting up your initial Chart of Accounts doesn't allow for enough customization. (Unless I missed something (which is possible), you either accept the choices offered for your type of business or you don't. Granted, you can always modify it afterward, but that seems counter-intuitive).
That being said, that is really my only complaint with the product. In all other areas, it offers a solid, dependable foundation upon which to build your business |
