1 out of 5 stars Intuit has gone too far, WAY TO FAR!   September 27, 2009
John S. O'Reilly (Missouri)
I have owned exactly three versions of Quickbooks 2000, 2003, 2009. I put up with the payroll gouge that came with 2003. After the first year, I dropped it, only to find Intuit removed the ability to set up auto calculations for the fields fica and medicare. I could understand not allowing auto calc fields for state and federal tax field. Obviously Intuit wanted to make it difficult so that you would succumb to paying their yearly payroll gouge fee.

After that, I swore I would never upgrade again, and just kept a desktop calculator handy for payroll calcs. In May of this year, my secretary and accountant bugged me enough until I agreed to try QB 2009 against my better judgment. I downloaded on my Vista platform office computer, (BIG mistake, I should have tried it on another computer first, moving my data over to it). Installing went fine, however, I bypassed the entire payroll setup screen, ("Would you like to setup payroll gouge service later?" YES!)

Once the program opened up to the main screen, I clicked around a bit, looking at various accounts to see if balances appeared to be correct, so far, so good. I then clicked on the payroll button. Bam, "fatal exception occurred at....". Rebooting is only way out. Did it several time, no change, uninstalled, reinstalled twice, no change. Everything else works fine, reports, printing, changing entries, etc. But just one click on their sacred payroll button, computer locks, nothing will regain stability, can't open task manager, nothing. Only way out is forced shutdown by holding power button.

I spent the next two hours reading on Intuit's website how hundreds of people are suffering from the same type of issue and have been for more than six months. You can't tell me Intuit doesn't know this will happen. They have such a thing as "product testing". How can a thing, like clicking a button that causes a fatal computer lockup, get past quality control? HOW?! The answer is: It didn't, it was designed that way. I believe unless you at least go through the motions of signing up for the short-term free payroll service, Intuit will not let you even TOUCH your payroll button.

Okay, screw it, uninstall 2009, reinstall 2003, use backed up, uncorrupted data file, lesson learned. Nope, not so quick. QB 2009 did something that now prevents my going back to QB 2003, it will not open, no error message, nothing, just a quick flash of the opening screen, then nothing. Incredible, just incredible.

Is this fraud? Should there be a class action suit filed? Is Intuit the worst company in corporate history? Decide for yourself, but I am moving to PeachTree.



2 out of 5 stars I Hate Quickbooks   August 28, 2009
F. Christenson (Cincinnati Ohio USA)
I hate Quickbooks. They are antediluvian and force you to Do Things Their Way. First, they have no accommodation whatsoever for modern methods of payment. So if you are a small business who cleverly uses PayPal for your myriad of transactions, you will have to either input each one by hand (for hours of mind numbing exercise) or find a way to import your data (if you are very very very lucky and come across someone who has written a program and Might know what they are doing then maybe possibly kinda might work). The need to have a way to import all of the PayPal data you amass the way that 21st century entrepreneurs need: press a button and it's done. That is what computers are for, you &*$%^ blockheads! I swear this lack of feature was brought to you by the greedy accountants who are working tirelessly to make you think that 8+ hours of work on your books is normal and you should fork over large amounts of money to them for doing what should be done in a matter of seconds. Yes, I did say seconds vs. hour$ of toil.

There is no excuse.

I detest the popups you eternally get from those greedy Intuit guys. How many times do I need to see the ad for Bank of America (Ken Lewis, bite me)? How many times do I need to be told that I can buy forms and check from them? Leave me alone and let me work, already. Grrrr.

OK, they do work if you will straight jacket yourself into their mode. If you find compatible software, you might be able to make things input rapidly as IBM intended (if you have a shopping cart based on OS Commerce then try QBI software (www.qbisoftware.com) to download your info into .iif file format and then into QB, works great for me).

Why do I use QB? There is no alternative. I hear that Peachtree is just as bad so I must exist with this horror in my life. Good luck, amigos. This is hell on earth.

Is there anything good about Quickbooks? Uh, OK, accountants love it so if you are thinking about letting an accountant work on your taxes you will save money if you use this rather than letting someone lose on a shoebox full of receipts. For very routine things it is fast and easy. You can get some very good (did I say that?) reports about your customers and products and sales and expenses. It will work with some PayPal info (if you know how to do it). It is standard and popular. There, I said it.



4 out of 5 stars Software   August 13, 2009
Keith O. Bowles (NYC)
BEWARE! YOU MUST INSIST THAT THE VENDOR RELINQUISH REGISTRATION AND VERIFY THAT YOU CAN REGISTER THE ITEM YOU PURCHASE. IT IS NOT THAT EASY/POSSIBLE TO DO THIS WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE VENDOR. DO NOT FALL FOR THE USED SOFTWARE THAT HAS BEEN ALREADY REGISTERED. YOU MAY FIND THE SOFTWARE UN-USABLE!!!!


1 out of 5 stars Complete Waste of Money   August 7, 2009
Leslie J. Carpenter (Wake Forest, NC USA)
Quickbooks Pro 2008 is a complete waste of money. I have spent so much time trying to find answers to things that should be simple, like processing a bad check, preparing a customer refund, and the like, that I could have paid a CPA (not a bookkeeper!) to do my books.

I have used Quicken for years, and really like the program, and made the wrong assumption in 2007 that Quickbooks would be equally as good a program. Boy did I make a mistake!

The latest debacle was that I opened a new account at my bank, hooked up quickbooks to my online account, and downloaded transactions. Everything looked great until I tried to reconcile the account for the first time. Suddenly there are transactions in my "new" account from three years ago, BEFORE I EVER HAD QUICKBOOKS! After an hour on the phone with customer support, while they tried to connect to my computer with a piece of software that trashed both my FIREFOX and IE connections, the end result was that the tech support person suggested that I must have entered those transactions incorrectly into the account!

I am currently looking elsewhere for small business software and will never recommend an intuit product again.



5 out of 5 stars Just as expected   July 21, 2009
P. Hadland (Costa Mesa, CA)
