Powerfull Program, Slight Learning Curve.
I bought this software, never having used business account software before. I wanted to use it for inventory control and invoicing my customers. I found it quite easy to set up my list of inventory, customers and vendors, and did not have any problems with it. Intuit makes great programs but they also try to get you to upgrade frequently. I finally was forced to upgrade so that I could use it with Quickbooks POS software. I found that it was easy to keep track of all my bills, pay them on time, see how my company was doing with the host of reports, and customize it to fit my style. I see that others have hated this software, but for me as a guy who struggles with balancing his checkbook, this software was a great asset for me.

I purchased A Product From Inuit Software and Scanning
I purchased the software at Stapples (Hamilton Ontario) the software with the cashbox and scanning software for barcodes came to $4,000.00 now I did not know that the suport was for 30 days and that after that I would have to pay over $130.00 per moth (yes I did get a credit for $800.00 not in cheque) but for technical support and after those $800.00 are over my staff told me that we have to pay for it (I was amazed) that a product that cost over $4,000.00 does not even have more extended technical support, correct me if I am wrong but when you purchase a computer and some computers are dirt cheap lets say $1,500.00 you would get technical support for a year or sometimes more. I am not impressed at all with there so called "customer service" I am in the process of opening more stores and I will go look at other providers for software and scanning bar code mechanism.

Probably very powerful but needs some simplifying
This may be the best small business accounting software available, but it could still use some streamlining. I started a small corporation on a limited investment. I am not an accountant, so I didn't expect to ace the software on the first day. That said, this version of QuickBooks probably only has about 18 features that I have any use for out of hundreds of available features. The screen is not laid out in a way that is self-explanatory, so finding those features is not automatic. Even those who have used Quicken (Intuit's home finance software) in the past are unlikely to find the interface self-evident. Efficiency is also a concern. QuickBooks opens too many internal "windows" without closing the source window, thus the software eats up memory very quickly. It would be as if every last time you click on a hyperlink while surfing the internet, a new browser window opens automatically. Not good. How much does QB intimidate? Well, it is April 14th, and I've been putting off doing my taxes because I don't want to have to find and decipher all of QuickBooks' tax related features, side notes, suggestions, and other fringe information. All of this said, it is fairly powerful software, and I am probably remiss for purchasing one of the more advanced versions of QuickBooks for such a small business. If you have tens of thousands of dollars in extra cash and can afford to automate your accounting processes (such as payroll) through QB's add-on-for-an-additional-investment options, this is probably the software to buy. It is established, it is advanced in its abilities, and it is the industry standard. However, if you're small potatoes, (even if it's hard to admit it), then you might want to consider something a little less involved, like a "dumbed down" version of QuickBooks or maybe MYOB.

Horible Support, Even Worse product
Do not buy this software unless you have deep pockets and don't mind spending lots of money on support. I don't want to sound paranoid but this software has bugs built into it to force you to call support. (did I mention the software come with 0 support) not 60 days not 30 days not even 1 day of support is included with the purchase. And all the great services that the product tells you about cost additional with monthly fees.

If you like fustration you'll love this
Quickbooks 2002 is a halfway decent accounting program for small business. Unfortunetly Intuits ridiculus company policy of releasing buggy software and then charging you for them to fix it is most fustrating. Then there are the yearly upgrades that you have to pay for. No , you don't HAVE to pay for a new version each year... it's just that your old version stops working if you have to reinstall it. It will then ask to for a special activation key that you can only get if you ring them up and then fill in a 10 page document( and get it signed by a j.p!!!). When you vent your fustration and anger, the ever so helpful phone support person will suggest that it would just be easier to upgrade to the latest version for a large sum of money. Yeah, thanks...

Quickbooks
While Quickbooks is a great product for writing checks, we have had nothing but trouble with the Do It Yourself Payroll. We have it on two computers and recently downloaded an update and ended up with a virus that knocked out our network for three days! In spite of our antivirus program. The customer support is terrible. Get this product for check writing and invoices but stay away from the payroll products!

Not the best, but good for some
I do bookkeeping services and work with many clients. The most common prgram is Quickbooks. Intuit has started going overboard with advertising in all their products recently and it is really detracting from their product. However,for the price it works well enough for most people and is similar to quicken which alot of people use so the learning curve is better than other products. Peachtree is by far a much better product but they have been moving their price structure higher and higher and seem to be moving to an intermediate level while quickbooks is stuck in beginners which the majority of people are. The problem I always find with Quickbooks is it lets non-accountants really screw things up. It is imperative that you either have good accounting knowledge or have a professional set up your quickbooks. I've had to start from scratch with many Quickbook clients, the only program that I've had to totally scrap the existing setup on. If you hire a professional to set it up and then understand the entries you are making, it will work fine for your needs in a small business. If you plan on growing and may actually end up hiring someone to be an accountant in your business then I recommend yu pay the extra for Peachtree complete(if your too big for that then you need to spend several thousand dollars and are in another level of software). The worst thing is Intuit seems to be regressing in many of their products. It's almost liek they milked the software revenues and have people captured and now they need to milk money in other services. Too Bad, they are going to ruin some pretty good products.

CRITIQUE QUICK BOOKS 2000 (NOT PRO)
WE ARE A DISTRIBUTOR OF WIRE AND CABLE. CURRENTLY USING QUICK BOOKS 2000.HAVE USED ALL THE OLDER VERSONS BACK TO WINDOWS 3.1. I FINIALLY BROKE DOWN AND NETWORKED OUR 4 COMPUTERS. THINKING MULTI USER WOULD BE NICE, I STARTED SHOPPING FOR 2000 PRO. I FIND THE REVIEWS HERE AT AMOZON APPALING AND SCARY BECAUSE I GIVE QB2000 RAVES. I AM CURENTLY AT 32 MEGS OF DATA, HOLDING OUT TO 12/31 TO COMPRESS. THE PROGRAM WORKS WITHOUT A FLAW. I AM AWARE THAT INTUIT IS NOT HELPFUL TO THEIR CUSTOMER BASE, BUT I HAVE NOT REALLY NEEDED THEM. WHAT ELSE IS NEW IN THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF COMPUTERS? WE ARE A SALES COMPANY, QB GIVES US A GREAT DEAL OF SALE INFORMATION WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT,AND IS WHY I GIVE IT 98%. THE ACCOUNTING IS FINE FOR OUR ACCOUNTANT. QUESTION.... DO I BUY THE 2002 PRO UPGRADE????

Beware that program won't suddenly stop!!
I own an older version of QuickBooks Pro which suddenly stopped and asked me to re-enter my registration number. I had no idea where the old box with the registration number was. A phone call to QuickBooks tech support informed me that QuickBooks can be only run a certain number of times before one has to re-enter the registration code. This was for "marketing purposes". They refused to give me my old code as my version was "no longer supported". However, when I bought a [costly] upgrade, they suddenly were able to give me a code to let me use my old version...Suddenly stop the customer's software from working, customer cannot recover any data, refuse support, demand an upgrade, then open the software up again. Will newer QuickBooks programs suddenly stop working a few years from now?

Don't waste your money
There are reasons to buy Quickbooks. For instance it's a lot cheaper than accounting software for professionals. But why not buy it on Ebay for a fraction of the price from one of the many dissatisfied users trying to get rid of it ? I recently upgraded my business from Quicken home & business 98 to Quickbooks. I've always hated Quicken for it's array of annoying idiosyncrasies but I'm now locked in with years of transactions. I've spent several days worth of time on Quickbooks, so I'm no expert. However I've run into problem after problem trying to get my accounting practices set up. For instance it simply won't let me enter transactions directly into my foreign account register, despite the help file telling me that I can. And my invoices come out with missing lines and text. The real problem though, is that these bugs aren't Intuit's problem. They're Intuit's profit. Tech support is not available without paying. Strangely, searching the online help gave me no hits for my problems. I cannot compare this product with Microsoft Money since I haven't tried that one. Perhaps Quickbooks Pro is still your best bet, but don't pay full price !
