"Returning this product" on by Artsandminds
Pros: I was too blinded by its shortcomings to see any positives.
Cons: When I tried to use the business planning function it would not open. I called to get help only to find out I had to pay for the luxury of using the software.
Summary: If you are buying it for the business planning function, its not worth it, other software is more helpful and just as thorough.

"a waste of your money" on by barrett23
Pros: You get to meet a lot of people in India
Cons: Support is almost non-existant
Paying for the support you get is a crime.
If you don't buy their other services(payroll) they punish you by eliminating features you need.Summary: Intuit is just a very bad company. Unetical might not be the right description, but it has to be close. When I look at the stars c-net gives these products, I start questioning their input also. You can build a good software program for accounting, but it's a waste if you can't get the support to make it work right.

"Worst QB software ever!" on by geno2009
Pros: None. QB2005 was a stable useful product.
Cons: Buggy and non-intuitive. If you're on QB2005, stay on it. Stay away from this release.
Summary: A waste of time and money, real all the reviews.

"Unintuitive and Uncomprehensive" on by fean77
Pros: Can download online bank transactions
Cons: Categorization of transactions is tedious and unintuitive. Unable to select multiple transactions for categorization without switching to a separate interface window from main downloaded uncategorized transaction list.
Summary: Quickbooks is obviously not geared for a financial planning business which runs off commission income and annual advisory fees. Microsoft Money seems more fit for that task.

"QB 2009 worst in the history of QB" on by noslander
Pros: There is no longer anything to like about it.
Cons: Bloated, Unsupported, Time Wasting, Multi user extremely buggy! Install takes you to a marketing nightmare. Online banking extremely buggy! Qb live community waste time but is better than calling Intuit.
Summary: Having supported and used Quickbooks since its DOS days before MS Windows existed I am depressed at where Intuit has taken this to a new low. Unfortunately, I have clients using this product. My goal for 2010 is to migrate them to a fully supported, multiuser system.
