Customer Reviews

Good Product, Terrible Customer Relations, Bad Value
I've been a Quickbooks user for about 10 years. The basic product is great, its always worked well for me with very few problems - however the company is heading in the wrong direction.

1st - Evidently they don't care if you are a loyal customer, when you upgrade you pay the same price as a new customer, the total retail price.
2nd - They force you to upgrade now by discontinuing support including payroll support for older versions of the program. So don't think you can buy it once every 5 or 6 years and keep using it, you're going to be forced to upgrade about every other year.
3rd - The payroll option is unreal at $199 per year! When I started using the program I was paying $49 per year, so what do I get now for my extra $150, Nothing. Its the same payroll tax downloads as 10 years ago. And get this,with their 2007 edition, if you don't subscribe to the payroll option, you can't use the payroll features at all, even if you wanted to figure it manually, it blacks out the entire payroll section. How greedy is that.
4th - As I said the accounting features are very good, but the last couple of upgrades they started adding in all these useless bells and whistles, mainly to sell things, so about once a month I get these popups wanting me to purchase checks and supplies at way too high prices. You can't turn the reminders off.
5th - Their customer service has always been terrible.

The basic problem is the lack of competition. They only have one main competitor, Peachtree, but Quickbooks dominates the market. This will not always be the case Intuit. As soon as I can find a good alternative, I'm gone. I imagine a good many over uses who are feed up with their lack of customer appreciation will follow.

Terrible Upgrades
As a long-time QuickBooks Pro user I was sent (unsolicited) a copy of the 2007 version. I paid more than the cost on Amazon and then when I went to install it on my computer that has run all previous versions with no problems, I got an error message (Error 1303) that stopped the installation. There is a fix for this on the Intuit Board, and although none of the conditions that Intuit claims cause this error exist on my system, I tried the fixes without ever being able to install the update I had just paid for!!! There is no tech support on weekends, others on the community board were having the same problem. One person reported that Intuit told them that it was a Microsoft problem and to call them. This used to be a company that wrote elegant, functional smooth running software but their poor support and buggy upgrades and increasingly sleazy marketing make me want to stick with the 2004 version that I currently run. Be very careful about upgrading to this version. I am returning my copy for a full refund.

Intuit sticks it to their customers again...
The software is pretty good, and it's price is not unreasonable, but I am giving it 3 stars for the lack of an actual upgrade path (i.e. not paying full price every year for an upgrade). To me that seems not to be customer-friendly for those of us who need to keep current with QuickBooks Pro.

In addition, they need to find a way to make their patch/update process run more quickly. Regardless of the time of day it seems to be one of the slowest downloads that I know of (compare to MS, Firefox, Logitech, and Symantec for example).
