Software Reviews of QuickBooks Pro 2007 Small Business Financial Software [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Quickbooks Pro 2007
Summary: 1 Stars
Software works fine. Paid around $190.00 for this software. Product must be registered which takes 10 minutes on the phone providing personal and business details. I needed accounting software for my business but now it seems I'm on another unwanted mailing list.Customer Review: QuickBooks Pro 2007
Summary: 4 Stars
Has a lot of nice features that weren't available in 2001 version. Easier to use, prints statements of just open invoices, prints payments made to clients, for example. I like the product. Sorry I didnt get it sooner.Customer Review: Quickbooks goes way downhill...
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been a loyal Quickbooks user since 1999. What was once a fast, efficient, bullet proof product has become slow, buggy and annoying bloatware. And Intuit's sales and support policies are shamefully greedy and obnoxious.
I upgraded my main desktop PC to Vista and was dismayed to find that Quickbooks 2005 won't work on Vista. Even worse, it corrupts Vista system files with older versions of DirectX when you install it. So after reading only Quickbooks 2007 supports Vista, I was forced to "upgrade".
It's not really an upgrade as Intuit stopped selling those to their loyal customers. Instead, despite giving Intuit thousands of dollars for previous software over the years you, you have to buy a full copy just the same as a new user. That's the first slap in the face.
The next surprise was that it took Quickbooks 2007 forever to install on my brand new screaming fast $2000 Core 2 Duo Vista PC. The entire Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate suite installs faster! We're talking serious bloatware here and they now also require Flash 7 to play their videos.
But most frustrating of all is how much slower Quickbooks 2007 is. Even though it's running on a much faster PC than Quickbooks 2005 was, it easily takes 4 times as long to launch the software. And even once it's running, many things take seemingly forever and you just sit there locked out of the software while it's grinding away doing who knows what? And no, it's not my PC. All my other apps are nice and fast.
Even simple things like reports and reconciling an account can lock it up for long periods of time. It also "nags" you with more pop up dialog boxes and other things that slow down using it. So where I used to easily and quickly get what I wanted done in Quickbooks 2005, it's now a slow, annoying, deliberate process to do the same things in QB2007. It's a giant step backwards.
I've had it crash a few times already and get stuck trying to update itself. It also, like 2005, has to be registered to work for more than 30 days.
Ottherwise, it's not that different than QB2005. The user interface is just different enough to be annoying, but it's not especially better. The find feature, for example, still hasn't been fixed to be more user friendly.
Intuit's support policies really are shameful. They refuse to help with most problems, even their own bugs, without charging you a fortune for support. You can easily spend more than the price of the product just getting help. They also "sunset" their products after a few years and stop supporting them entirely forcing you to "upgrade" (buy a full new copy).
Somebody needs to come along and do small accounting software right now that Intuit has mostly dropped the ball. Microsoft has their new "Accounting Professional" products and I'm going to be checking those out. If that works for me, I may well return QB2007 and get a refund as it's been less than 60 days. Perhaps if enough people do that, Intuit will get the messsage that half baked slow bloatware isn't acceptable and go back to making good software?
Customer Review: Another great version
Summary: 5 Stars
Quickbooks is essential for the business owner. I cannot fathom keeping track of all of this information without the use of this program. Of course, there are some of you that think that you can do without this. You are fooling yourself. The time I save preparing my taxes is well worth the investment. You will thank yourself for making this purchase.Customer Review: They stink

Costumer service is a complete oxymoron with this company. If you want to waste half your time then buy this for sure. Pencil and paper work better than this product and are more reliable.
