 Quickbooks 2006 November 13, 2005
Cath (Redwood City CA)
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I've been beta testing Quickbooks for many years and often will recommend an upgrade for my clients and friends....this version will be the first that I recommend that everyone upgrade to. The interface is more intuitive than ever, the program works quickly and best of all the new customer [and vendor] centers easily provide a snapshot view of any customer in an instant. Integration with Outlook is also seamless.
This is definitely worth the cost to upgrade, and if you are using other software you really want to check it out.
Attention Virtual PC / Mac Users December 4, 2005
Tony Dicostanzo (Orange County, CA)
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
My first impression of this new release is positive - the new centers provide concise information in a snap shot manner that is very easy to use. As a Mac user I have been running QB Premier 2005 in Virtual PC environment for a year or so with no problems. The upgrade to 2006 is a bit more challenging. When you try to run the main "setup.exe" I received an immediate error message and the install program crashed. The "work-around" to this is to open the folder on the CD called "QBOOKS" and run the "setup.exe" program in the folder. For whatever reason that one works in Virtual PC while the other one does not. Intuit will not support Virtual PC questions so don't even waste your time on hold... good luck.
 On-line updates and on-line payroll don't work. E-mailing PDFs quit working. Technical support gave up. January 19, 2006
Rodney Sinclair

The title pretty much says it all.
The on-line update feature never worked. Intuit's technical support couldn't figure out why and gave up. The on-line payroll update feature failed for the same reason.
After 7 months of use, the E-mail Forms function quit working. The technical support representative didn't know what the PDF files were, and repeatedly had to ask for help. The final "resolution" was to blame my computer instead of explaining the Amyuni 1796 error.
All of this has cost more than 5 hours of being on the phone with Intuit's technical support and no resolution of the software problems.
I will not recommend any of Intuit's products based on their non-resolution of these software problems.
Excellent tool for Small Business. March 11, 2006
Mark D. Maher (Middle Tennessee)

I believe it is important to say that I am a QuickBooks ProAdvisor. As a technical consultant to small businesses, I began supporting QuickBooks several years ago after I saw how it benefited my clients.
I began useing QuickBooks myself in 1999 for my business. This version is one of the best advances I have seen. The new home page shows the various work-flows in an easy to understand format, making it easy to get to the form I need with one click. I really like the new "Centers" for customers, vendors and employees. Most of the information I need when looking for history with a customer or vendor is available when I click on the customer or vendor name. With one more click I can easily see the original transaction. I used to have to go through several screens to get to the information I needed.
The industry customization in the Premier Edition is a great addition and well worth the additional investment. I have a client using the Contractor Edition. The Contractor Center provides a quick glance at how the business is doing. The Job Cost reporting is an excellent tool to help better manage the business by comparing actual to estimated costs. They have been able to improve their estimates based on the information QuickBooks makes available to them.
The key to having the information you need is to make sure you get it setup properly in the beginning. Spend some time reviewing the excellent on-line training and help before you setup your company files. If you don't like reading the instructions, another option would be to get the help of a local QuickBooks ProAdvisor for assistance.
I highly recommend it.
Industrial strength, Sales order, Inventory processing, SQL database - killer app and Business Operations System March 1, 2006
Hartej P. Singh (Livingston NJ USA)
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Building on the Intuitive QuickBooks Pro interface and SQL database, QuickBooks Premier enables firms to scale - merely by clicking on a button and paying the difference. This ensures no work is lost. There is a whole new menu dedicated to specific Industries. While the estimate can have multiple options, when the customer places an order, the Sales Order function enables QuickBooks to saddle up for the ride. It generates Purchase Orders with the click of a button, and when goods are received, keeps track of who it is for. Invoices are generated from the sales order as well, and partial invoicing keeps track so I don't leave money on the table. I use the email function all the time, sending pdf attachments and cc:g myself so there's a time stamp.
To address the problem of sharing large files, there is a new Portable Company File (much like a Zip file) which compresses files for emailing.
I have also grown to appreciate the online banking auto-reconciliation function - I log in to the bank every morning, and watch as transactions appear and then get matched with my books, leaving me only unreconciled transactions.
QuickBooks also enables integration with third party software - there is a legion of industry specific solutions that help with core business operations. With 2006, QuickBooks has moved from being a software to a Business Operations System.
