1.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and underperforming., March 21, 2004

This review is from: QuickBooks Basic 2004 (CD-ROM)

Buyers beware! QuickBooks will not even allow you to write a simple paycheck! Intuit makes you sign up for their "Do-It-Yourself Payroll" and charges you an additional $169. That's what Intuit calls a "Great Value".
If you run a really small company, look somewhere else for your accounting software. You'll be purchasing a new version of Quick Books every year as well as their "great" overpriced services.

1.0 out of 5 stars QuickBooks - 2004 release is just a waste of money, May 12, 2004

This review is from: QuickBooks Basic 2004 (CD-ROM)

It's amazing that a company can sit for 3 years and add SO little innovation.

Having used quickbooks for over 5 years i am really dissapointed with the the 2004 release. It's basically a re-wrap of a product from over 4 years ago. Definately NOT worth the value. Consider other options unless you are absolutely stuck.

Nothing to look forward to in this version.

Poor support. No support, even the free stuff without handing over your credit card first. Updates are just charges for new version numbers. You can't use the payroll system without paying for their monthly service. Irritating pop-ups trying to sell you more stuff while you are trying to do book work. And yes I still own it and have for a few years. It has its good points. Pretty easy to set up and use. Kinda stuck at the moment. Believe it or not I switched to this from a worse program, Peachtree. My only salvation is I only need it for two more years then it goes in the trash.

1/10/07 - As promised, in the trash. Sold my business in April. They happily charged another years Payroll service to my credit card last month , even though the information they have on file is outdated. The only good point is the girl in the Phillipines I talked to about the charges quickly and politely reversed them.
