Customer Rating:      Summary: Minor upgrade to annoying but ubiquitous accounting software Comment: * The Install *
We tested out QB Pro 2010 by upgrading our 2009 Pro install and loading our company file.
The install took about 15 minutes and retained many of our settings from QB 2009. The installer did hang at the end hand had to be killed with task manager (Win XP).
* First Run *
After installing, we ran QB 2010 and it needed to download an update. This process took about 10 minutes, and then it needed to convert our company file to the new format. Not a big deal, but don't try to load a file from QB 2010 on previous versions--backwards compatibility is lost.
Actually running the program, we find some minor updates, as well as many familiar old annoyances. The toolbar is again littered with icons for Intuit products we're not interested in (we had cleaned this up when we installed 2009). The Intuit Community pops up, but you can disable it in preferences.
The interface is littered with Intuit products they want you to buy. For example, there is an item "Email Marketing" in three separate menus, Company, Customer, and Online Services. We tried this menu option and it complained that IE was not our default browser. (Duh, it's called security.)
* Summary *
QuickBooks Pro 2010 is a minor update (the new company snapshot is nice, the new products they're trying to sell you are not) feature-wise. The software works well enough to tolerate and everybody uses it. Accountants know it. This is why we use it. We wish there was another option for us as Intuit is not a customer-friendly company in our opinion. They try to hard to get you to pay for minor features that should be included. They should spend more focus on the customer experience and let the revenue streams follow, not vice versa.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Easy to use for basic Household Finance Comment: I found this to be a very easy to use (and install) program that was well documented, especially with video tutorials. I haven't used this type of software before, but found it very easy to use for household budgeting and expense tracking, including writing out checks when I still need to do this. I do like the fact that it is so easy to move data in and out of Excel (basically cut and paste) and that you can click on existing data (e.f. totals) to easily get underlying data. The package can and needs to a lot more for a business setting, but I found it to quite suitable to managing finances for a househol.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Much Improved Over Earlier Versions Comment: I have been using this for almost a month now and am very satisfied. It installs and runs well on Windows 7. Until this version I have in the past been critical of Quickbooks because I felt it had poor reliability. Have had no problems with this version at all. With Microsoft dropping further development of Microsoft Accounting and if Intuit continues improving reliability it looks like Quickbooks is the way to go. My only complaints are that Intuit no longer offers discounts for people who are upgrading from a earlier version and that they want to charge you extra for payroll. This results in me deducting one star from what would otherwise be an excellent product.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Gimped software. Pay for "extras" that should be included Comment: I have been a fan of the Quickbooks series for quite some time. Back when Windows 95 was the alternative to DOS I used to fight my boss about the benefits of Quickbooks over say, Peachtree which used to be DOS only. Move ahead to now and I dont think I would recommend this package to anyone. The overall functionality is there. The thing that really chafes me is the way they dangle "add ons" that you must purchase. Why? Its because they know the average user does may not need payroll. Fine, then don't ship it with the software. Instead, make this addon an inexpensive purchase, NOT a subscription. That is highway robbery. Sticking it to the small business that may use this software is underhanded and petty.
Pros:
>> Easy to use
>> Low learning curve
>> Basics are plenty for most small businesses
Cons:
<< Subscription service to add payroll & more
<< Feel ripped off when using this software like they just want to dip into your pockets every time you use it.
Overall if you just need a basic accounting software for your business you may be better off looking somewhere else. This package is "very" basic and you will need to add a good deal more subscriptions or addons to get it to the level of some higher priced initially, but overall better software packages.
Thank you for reading my review.
Customer Rating:      Summary: RIP -OFF Comment: The only reason I purchased the 2010 Quick Books upgrade is because you are FORCED to upgrade every two years if you want to use any Turbo tax programs with Quick Books . Also after the two year period you are no longer able to use the email invoice option, Quick Books being the customer friendly group they are makes sure that it is no longer a working part of the program. The best part is Quick Books is constantly trying to sell you on all their unnecessary add on junk from credit card processing to marketing services while you are working on the program. The "do not show again " boxes do not work when checked ........... they constantly continue to pop up even after being selected to not show again.
If you are able, and I was not able to find, any other program that works as a decent book keeping program I would buy it.
