Intuit QuickBooks Professional 2009

Rip off pricing!

Puntos Fuertes: Robust suite of financial software

Puntos Débiles: Very aggressive pricing strategy,

Resumen: Quickbooks works, but to charge upwards of $300 just to provide an annual payroll upgrade is excessive. The market cries out for competition. Also the idea of withdrawing functionality of software every three years (you must conintually upgrade to get payroll and downloads to work) is highly customer unfriendly.

Finally, their product support is excessive, charging upwards of $80. per incident.

Overall, I hate Intuit's marketing policy and wish there were viabible alternatives for my business.

Qucikboods 2009 Pro version

Puntos Fuertes: easy to learn; both audio and visual guided lessons

Puntos Débiles: not designed for all types of business

Resumen: I bought Quickbooks ("QB")because there were many references indicating that it is able to "communicate" with Excel (and other software). I need to collect field data on my Palm, download it onto my desktop to Excel, and cross-load it into QB. I found instead that the only communication they share is for very basic, single stream data--in other words, you can communicate between the two systems, but only certain pre-chosen data. If I create a field version of the spreadsheet QB accepts, it will only import *some* of the info, hence I can't fulfill my objective. I FOUND THEIR CLAIMS OF INTER-SOFTWARE COMMUNICATION MISLEADING.

Other than that, it is a useful business tool.

worst product in decades

Puntos Fuertes: user friendly APPEARANCE, online help and faqs

Puntos Débiles: limited import, inactive help functions,user unfriendly

Resumen: This is the worst software package I have ever used, ever, of any type.

It offers 3 methods of getting to the help function, including F1, none of them do anything. Importing bank statements is limited. Can't do it from my bank, which offers .qfx(intuit product), money (ms), or .csv. I would think that they would do a little research with the banks to see what they are or will export.

Better off just using excel at this point.

gets worse every year

Puntos Fuertes: same as older versions

Puntos Débiles: much slower, more crashes, problems with multi user, swloen program size

Resumen: Intuit does it again. Forces you to buy new versions so that payroll and credit card processing will work but messes up the program worse than ever. Year after year.

2009 will work with Windows 7, But Intuit won't support it!

Puntos Fuertes: I like the software, but I don't like the 3 year life.

Puntos Débiles: not work with Windows 7 and say you have to buy Pro 2010. The program is overkill for a small business with only one employee. They keep trying to sell you unnecessary additions.

Resumen: Intuit will first tell you on the phone that Quickbooks Pro 2009 will My 2006 Quickbooks Pro won't work with Windows 7. Their answer...$200 and we will sell you Pro 2010.
