 NOT A QuickBooks Beta tester Nov 13, 2007
By T. Whatmough
"whatmot"
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.

MAJOR error exist in Quickbooks 2008 compatability with Quicken 2008 Nov 28, 2007
By Elaine O'Connell
"Frequent Amazon Shopper"
If you are using Quicken 2008 R2, R3 or R3 and want to convert the data to Quickbooks 2008 you SHOULD NOT BUY Quickbooks 2008 at this time. Intuit has known about a problem that their questionable QA department did not find since early November, as indicated by the following posting of a message in the Quicken Community Forum:
"You cannot convert Quicken 2008 data to Quickbooks at this time. Quicken 2008 introduced stronger encryption for data files and Quickbooks is not able to read the new file format.
There is an R3 patch for Quickbooks coming soon that should resolve this issue. "
The Quickbooks support team informs me that they are aware of the issue but have not idea how long it will take to obtain the encryption API from the Quicken team and put it into the Quickbooks Convert module - although it would seem like something that should be easy it appears that it will take weeks (more - they have already know about this for several weeks) to perform this simple feat! And then QA will have to install Quicken 2008 and actually test to see that this works this time (that is if QA is actually performing the tests they should, which is questionable since if they were this problem would have been found prior to releasing Quicken 2008 R2 or R3 or R4 or Quickbooks 2008 - since it came out after Quicken R2 was released).

 QuickBooks Just Keeps Getting Better and Better Dec 27, 2007
By Rodd Hall
I've been a user and a Beta tester of QuickBooks for many years. QuickBooks has always been perfect for me - a small business owner. I use it for all my accounting needs, including payroll. The only time I need my CPA is for a final year-end review of what I've done in QuickBooks. With each new release of QuickBooks, Intuit adds great new features and usability enhancements, and this one is no exception. As a Beta tester, I was able to compare the 2008 version with the 2007 version. Do the upgrade. It's well worth the cost of the new version! (And conversion was clean and simple.)

Nice product - Ugly Registration Process Jun 11, 2009
By The Mupster
"The Mupster"
Only been using product for one week, and so far so good. The only EXTREME Negative has been the software registration process. Could not complete it online - had to do it over the phone. And based on where in the world that call was answered from, I am making my own guesses as to whether the company name, address, etc was spelled correctly.
btw: The message you get from the registration screen that you have to actually get on the phone and call to register, says that you will be given a code to complete the registration process - they neglected to mention you will also need to plan on being on the phone for 10 minutes and spelling things out like you were talking to a 4 year old before they will give you that code (customer rep said the servers were overwhelmed / down - no doubt in my mind. Probably has an overseas outsourced operations staff in the room next to the person who anwered my call).
One more complaint - make that two: why did I have to give my US company information to someone in a foreign country? Do I have any recourse against this software vendor if I start getting marketing calls from Europe and Asia?

 QB 2008 Premier - Pro Services Edition Oct 16, 2007
By M. Pfeifer
"Small Business Owner"
Based on the beta testing, Intuit has improved QB again! The nicest feature for me is the new invoice creation tasks. You are now able to create an invoice from billable time w/o creating the invoice and selecting each individual time line. You can now select ranges prior to the creation. Kudos.
The downside for me (but a small one) - Same old UI. I wish it had a more quicken like interface and direct connections to the banks. Yes, I know they can download transactions, but the transactions still go through a 3rd party I believe and they don't show up on the bank's web site immediately.
