1 out of 5 stars Is it really working?   July 18, 2008
This can be a good product for a small company - when and if you can start it!
The major problem is that it is very often very difficult to start. The program takes forever to start and usually freezes.
Checking on the QB Forum, it seems that I am not alone. Intuit doesn't seem to answer the `why'question either.
Since I am using a standard machine, one year old, with a lot of memory, I will say that it is time to use the remove button, eat the loss and buy something else.



4 out of 5 stars Nice Product for Small Business   June 1, 2008
This is a reasonably priced solution for small business to track customers and integrates well with Quick Books and Outlook/MS Office. I'd prefer an option to use other email clients (such as Mozilla)or I'd give it five stars. I'm able to see my appointments and balances for a given client with a glance and can instantly create a new financial transaction from within Customer Manager. You can download a demo from Intuit for 30 days- check it out before you buy. I'm a one person business so for my situation it's perfect.


1 out of 5 stars customer manager review   May 24, 2008
I love intuit products, but I was extremly disapointed in this product. The only reason I didnt return this product is because it syncs with my quickbooks.


1 out of 5 stars Supports 96 DPI only   April 19, 2008
This product might have received a better review if I could have gotten
past the online registration screen.

I couldn't, because it only supports one monitor resolution (96 DPI), which doesn't match my monitor capability. Intuit is aware of this bug, but has no fix for it.

In my 20-odd years of doing software technical support, we had a name for this type of bug, and it was "showstopper". Reputable companies fixed these bugs before releasing product to customers.

It's interesting to note that Quickbooks itself doesn't suffer from this problem, indicating that Intuit knows how to support multiple resolutions, but, for some reason refuses to do it in Customer Manager.

Update
----------

Intuit has refunded the purchase price of this product. If and when they fix this bug,
we'll consider applying the refund toward the updated version.



1 out of 5 stars This software is HORRIBLE   February 15, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I am in amazement that anyone could write a review AT ALL with anything positive to say about this product.

It MIGHT be decent software if you never try to synchronize it with QBooks or Outlook. But, that is what I needed, that is what they advertise, so I bought it. What a horrifying experience. If you look on-line (do a search for slow customer manager) you will see that there is no real fix. People with gigantic, powerful computers are brought to their knees with the slowness of this memory and processing hog. Try to drag and drop a piece of data, or attach an email to a customer's file, and you might as well go make coffee. Actually, you have enough time to fly to Brazil to pick your own beans.

Intuit support is only going to tell you that it is one of the "other files" that is corrupt, like your QuickBooks file - OH, don't have support on THAT product, well, you need to pay for this phone call. Never mind that the only program on your computer that doesn't work is Customer Manager. It hoses up EVERYTHING.

Intuit should be ashamed of this product and to be sure, as so many have said before me, it should be integrated into QuickBooks as a one piece solution.

By the way, the functionality of project tracking and linking data, emails and appointments, employees to their companies (contact association), & things of that sort are almost acceptable but the two huge problems are slowness, (beyond belief) and data transfers. Linking and finding data fields aren't even compatable with Quickbooks meaning, type in an address in QB and you won't be able to find it in QBCM, you'll have to type it again.

Do yourself a favor, use paper and pencil, it is faster and more efficient that QBCM. STAY AWAY!

I am editing to say, I am no computer idiot...I bought the software and spent 2 months trying to make it run right. It works with their stupid little sample database but when you sync a perfect QB database to it, and a perfect Outlook DB to it, adios amigo, you just bought a nightmare that simply WILL NOT END until you toss this in the trash.

I sent mine back to Intuit (after speaking to "tech support") for a refund. I am sorry I wasted so much time. If you are serious, this software ISN'T.
