Don't upgrade until they fix problems.
I have been using Quickbooks Pro for over 10 years so I have found many good features but the loan manager for managing loans has a major flaw they can't seem to fix. The data files are stored in a separate file format & don't back up with a normal data back up. Then they don't transfer when you upgrade to a newer version. You can't access them because it moves all the other files to the newer version. I told them 2 years ago about this & they promised a fix soon. Didn't happen. Tech support tol...

Upgrade WARNING
I was forced to upgrade by Intiut's payroll service from QB2005 to QB2008. If you are upgrading from QB2005 or before you MUST read the following: This is a MAJOR upgrade with a change in your company file format. Before you upgrade you must backup your company file to floppy, second hard drives, CD, DVD, anywhere and everywhere you can. Please reread the previous sentence. After the install finishes it asks you if you will let it move your company file to a new QB directory. YOU MUST WRIT...

Avoid this procduct if at all possible
Like many people, I am stuck with Intuit's endless forced upgrade cycle. If you want to continue to use payroll, you are forced to constantly pay for upgrades that offer no useful new features. Once you have years of company data, it becomes difficult to switch to something else, so you are stuck with choosing the lesser of two evils.In my experience, each one of their forced updates is worse than the one before with QB 2008 truly being an exceptional piece of garbage. Intuit clai...

Overticked and Smarmy
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...

The worst software product that I have ever used
I have never reviewed a piece of software before. But Quickbooks 2008 may be the most poorly tested software ever released, (including Vista). I feel compelled to warn others away from this mess.We made the mistake of upgrading to QuickBooks 2008 last week because Intuit stopped providing online banking support for our old version. Within one day we were reinstalling and restoring from backups almost constantly.We have finally installed what appears to a stable copy on...

QuickBooks is slow books
The product is slow and buggy and INTUIT customer support takes forever to correct simple problems. I would switch if there was another integrated payroll/ accounting program that worked together.

Unethical business practices - 00 Stars
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 BAN...

Poor Quality Control
One thing that a lot of people have noticed about Intuit, and seems to be more and more true about the newer Intuit software, is that they have very poor quality control. They let their software get published with all kinds of rude bugs, ones that sometimes reduce the users to desperate situations just to get the software to work.Take, for example, the install procedure on XP x64, which by now is a mainstream OS. When you don't have dot Net 2.0 installed, it will install it for you...

Prepare to get locked into an annual "milking"
Intuit steadily increases the fees for payroll tax updates. If you read the reviews for the 2007 version, you'll see everyone complaining about the cost for these updates increasing to $200 (it was once $49). Now they've jacked it up to $350.That bears repeating: PAYROLL TAX UPDATES ARE NOW $350 ANNUALLY.And I expect them to keep increasing, because they have their users by the coin purse.

Great program thats hard to improve on except for the support
I'd like to say first off that the tech support for QuickBooks Pro is poor unless you get an American on the phone. I guess for a program that costs less than $200 you can't expect unlimited free tech support from US reps but it would be nice if you could get one on the phone once in a while or perhaps pay a little extra to speak to Americans only. We decided to pay the extra for QB Enterprise, not because we really needed it but because of the Tech support plans. It's amazing how good the Tech...
