 NOT A QuickBooks Beta tester November 13, 2007
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I have supported and installed Quick books for about 8-10 years in small companies and cannot believe what I am seeing. My experience until QB 2006 was great. However with QB 2006 version and currently QB 2007 we are starting to look at other accounting options. This is based on a string of technical and support issues ranging from poor support and long hold times. Speaking with scripted Indian support and lack of resolution has really hurt the image of QB in our eyes. I appreciate beta testers would have a great experience having great familiarity with the application but from a newbie user standpoint QB can be a disaster. Enough said.
 From a "Beta Tester's" perspective November 2, 2007

I have been a QuickBooks beta tester for several years now. And not only do I think they have another great upgrade version for 2008 but let me say something else that stands out about QuickBooks that you may not hear from other reviewers --- the QuickBooks team is a team of integrity and they really truly care about the people they serve. I know because I have worked with the team as a beta tester.
Great product + Great Team = Everybody Wins!
Managing your business November 2, 2007

I've been a QuickBooks user for the past 10 years and I have kept a keen eye on Intuit as they have consistently improved QuickBooks with each new release. The new QuickBooks 2008 product is one of the best versions I have used to date. I'm now using the Premier 2008 product which has the most comprehensive reporting capabilities I have seen in any financial management application. In my opinion, QuickBooks is a leader in the small business accounting product space. Managing my IT consulting business has taken less time and has become easier by using QuickBooks. I recommend it to anyone wanting a powerful, but easy to use financial management application.
Regardless of what financial management application you choose to adopt, be prepared to work with an accountant to set up your business. It's better to start off right than to learn about problems with your set up later and then have to go in to fix things. It's also a good idea to spend some time reviewing the the features you need from a financial management application and then select the product version based on the feature set you need as QuickBooks and its competing products have different versions based on features and QuickBooks also has different versions targeted to specific business types. I started out with QuickBooks Pro and then migrated to QuickBooks Premier once it came out as I wanted the additional reporting features and because it better supported my consulting business (through the Professional Services Edition).
If you are not already working with an accountant who knows QuickBooks, then the QuickBooks Professional Advisor Program is a good place to start as you can find someone who has completed QuickBooks training and who knows the software. One you have your business set up in QuickBooks, the learning curve of using the software takes a couple of hours to get comfortable with its basic functions. The interface is intuitive and easy to learn with transactions being based on forms, so when you make a payment you will see a check form; when creating an invoice you will see an invoice form, etc. The software handles the double entry accounting in the background so you can focus on the task you want to do rather than trying to figure out what to put in the ledger.
The software works well over a network, but be aware that the software response will be affected by a slow network, slow computer, and multiple users logged on at the same time. The data is stored in a single file, but access is supplemented by a database manager that runs in the background on your computer. The best performance will come from installing the data file on a server or a fast workstation that is not heavily used. Set the backup reminder in QuickBooks to remind you to backup your data and be sure to keep a copy of your data file in a safe place in the event you have a server/computer crash. As an IT consultant, I recommend you contact your IT support person and have him/her go over your computers and network before you run any type of application across a network.
Best wishes for running a successful business!

What a great program for all you accounting needs! November 1, 2007

I've been a Quickbooks user since ver. 1.0 and have recently been using the new 2008 Premier addition. I am very impressed with the package and I'm always amazed at how they can make each version better. For those who have not used Quickbooks yet...you should order your copy right now. I has a wonderful tutorial for almost anything you can think of doing or needing to find out about. It is very easy to use and will give you a terrific handle on your business. It plays well with your other programs, like Outlook; you can even import all your contacts from quickbooks into it, what a time saving life saver. I can't say enough about it; it just works, and it works very, very well.

Instead of detailing the user-friendly install, working environment, or accuracy and precision of the "Final Result", suffice it to say that Quickbooks Enterprise 2008 will be no surprise for previous users as the full complementary arsoal of new features and tools plus reporting, is so Typical of a company who has devoted it's total energy to getting trustworthy result for business owners seasoned or novice.
Make your selection Quickbooks 2008 and let the money management alone and concentrate on making it without a worry about recordkeeping.
