 Support Stinks January 5, 2007

From my experience just about all support calls are routed off shore.
Most of the tech support staff just take your question and type it into their work station. They say "May I put you on hold while I check my resources". Then they read answers off their screen. Several times I had to say to the tech - I can't understand your English. If you buy the package I'd find a local QB certified accountant and pay him/her for their time.
 Great for organization! November 10, 2006

Following the tutorials, I was able to teach myself how to use the Quickbooks program. It took me about five hours to figure it out and enter all my data. Now I'm more organized, which in effect has increased my business performance. I also like the financial reports that the program generates.
 A huge disappointment over 2005 version August 11, 2006

When converting my 2005 data over to 2006 version it lost all of my time data. I have to rebuild my datafile just to use the check register now. Also the new program will not allow me to add a vendor or a customer. I've had to change names and addresses of obsolete customers and vendors just to add new ones.
Intuit's support sucks and cannot seem to resolve my problems. I have two copies on two different computers and am having the same problems with my data file on each computer. My recommendation is if you are using the 2005 version, and don't need tax tables, don't mess with 2006 version. It has literally cost me thousands of dollars of my time trying to work out the bugs on my own.
Great product! March 26, 2006

I use this program daily and it is awesome! It has lots of great new features especially the new home page that has the customer, vendor and employee centers where you can now see all of the information in one place. The features and functionality of the program are everything any small to mid size business needs to run their company from a financial point of view. Great improvements over previous versions.
Excellent tool for Small Business. March 11, 2006

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.
