 Unethical business practices - 00 Stars June 14, 2008

Intuit products have always been very poorly designed. They are convoluted and hard to navigate. Recently they removed their update program so now you have to purchase the entire product every year just to keep up with their enhancements...the only problem is that they barely enhance the product ever. They make minor superficial changes that don't really help the user. The BIGGEST problem with Quick Books is that if you don't keep buying the new version THEY SHUT OFF YOUR ABILITY TO DOWNLOAD BANK TRANSACTIONS. This is an unethical and deceiving practice since they are not even the ones providing the service (it is your bank that makes your statements available over the Internet, not Intuit). I own a small business and there is no way that we can afford to buy a new version every year. Read the fine print...and stay away from Intuit products unless you want to shell out hundreds of dollars EVERY year for a mediocre product.
Overticked and Smarmy June 18, 2008

I upgraded from QB 2003 and am less than impressed. I have been using Quick products since quicken came out in the early '90s and this one is the worst I've seen.
They have eliminated the reverse journal button. They still don't show the debit/credit tag in the registers (and they reverse them with their increase/decrease BS). We are back to the pop-up advertising that won't go away. The user interface is a joke.
The portable file is okay but the backup restore function and file handling interface doesn't show you the path and QB will default your files to the bowels of your hard drive if you aren't careful. If you work with more than one company this can be a real pain.
All in all I think this is a product that has reached the end of it's life cycle. It is overticked, gimmicky and I will be looking for the next generation software (simple, accurate and easy to use) in the near future.

I have been using Quickbooks since it was still a DOS software and it has only gotten better each year. I have only experienced one bad download and it was resolved by Tech support that very day. The only drawback with QB's is, you DO need to have an accounting background not just a bookkeeping background. It is a very powerful accounting software and needs to be initially setup correctly. But after that is done....it is a great accounting software! For the price...in my opinion...it rivals many high priced softwares in features and capabilities.

I have been using QuickBooks Pro since 2000. Recently got a new computer (Vista powered) and upgraded to the latest version of this software. The new interface looks great, much easier to navigate around. All previous data including my credit card processing capabilities came right over.

I had never used Quickbooks prior to my beta testing of the Quickbooks Pro 2008 program. My husband and I own a number of small businesses and were finding it difficult to keep all of our information categorized. This software is a powerhouse. It is a program that grows with your needs and helps take your business to the next level. Quickbooks Pro 2008 allows us to accomplish tasks we never would have considered possible. The help coach and tips really make the program a breeze to navigate and use.
