Software Reviews of QuickBooks Pro 2009 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Great Software
Summary: 5 Stars
Quickbooks makes it easier to track your income & expenses for your small business. It's fairly easy to use. I've been using it for years, learned how to use it on my own. Biggest problems with QB it seems that every time they upgrade software there are "new" features that you need to learn, and some old ones that may not work quite the same.Customer Review: HARDLY IMPROVED
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been using QB since the DOS days. In times past it was a great program with major improvements each year at a great price. In the last 3-4 years, the "improvements" seem focused on new ways Intuit can make money off it's customers. Reports haven't been improved. To this day, I still can't get a report where I choose the date and can see stock and sales for my chosen period. You want to do back orders? You have to go to a more expensive version. It used to be that you could get the multi-user pack that was good for 5 people. Now they lowered it to three. Intuit used to allow around 10 copies of QB on different computers, as long as no more than 5 were using the program at the same time.
So Intuit's focus is on improving profits without the bother of actually improving the software. I don't think 2009 is much different from my last version QB2006. My QB accountant says 2010 is awful. How sad.
Customer Review: Amazon didn't come through
Summary: 1 Stars
Paid for the item to find out that it would take up to three weeks to get it and then it did not come. Now I'm waiting two weeks to see if Amazon will return the money. Find a different supplier!!!Customer Review: Regrets...I have a few..
Summary: 2 Stars
I finally upgraded from 2005 3 user to 2009 3 user as part of a system wide upgrade. 2005 was working perfectly. I use the 3 user version networked. I was seduced by the glowing reports, email options, multicurrency support and the company snapshot "being worth the price of the upgrade".
On the plus side the instant messenger within Q books is a nice touch. The company snapshot is useful but nothing earth shattering. The multicurrency support needs work to be useful.
Regrets...this version is SLOOOWW. Slow to load, slow to back up and slow to search. The computer memory is 3GB on a 2 Ghz machine with windows XP professional. It constantly wants to go on the internet. When it works, however, it is faster than 2005.
Regrets.. the program hangs up at least twice per day! In multiuser mode, if another user loads Qbooks first then I cannot access the database file. When using the files simultaneously, I would mysteriously get booted out and then cannot reopen the file and my computer(server) is hosting the data.
Regrets..the backup file is HUGE and takes a year to back up with quick verification. Easily twice the size of 2005 with same data. On full verification it takes 2 years then invariably generates a fault and you have to start over!
Regrets... I now have to buy another version to export files to my accountant...this was not so with 2005.
Regrets...There is now too much data to re-enter to go back to 2005 unless I take 2 weeks off work and manually re-enter 4 months of data...
Regrets...I intended to upgrade my entire system to windows 7 with an entirely new computer system only to learn that 2009 which I recently bought, is not compatible with windows 7 and I will have to buy 2010 at the same price as someone who never bought 2009! I feel trapped and duped!
Regrets....I should have stayed with 2005.
Regrets.. "If it isn't broke...don't fix it", especially with financial data!
Customer Review: Quickbooks Pro 2009
Summary: 4 Stars
Good deal on the price. Almost half the 2010 price and with essentially the same features. QB Pro is a great accounting program but it takes a while to learn all the featuresfor non-accounting types. I had QB Basic and this is much more advanced. Upside is you get much more in terms of reports and analysis
