3.0 out of 5 stars Not Quickbooks but a lot less expensive!, December 12, 2008

This review is from: Peachtree by Sage Professional Accounting 2009 (CD-ROM)

I got this because it advertised that it could import Quickbooks data and I was trying to avoid spending the $$$$ for Quickbooks. I also didn't like the trial version of Quickbooks 2009.
Well, this does import from Quickbooks but the little piece of information Peachtree Sage left out was that it only imports the chart of accounts etc. and not the transactions. Complete waste of time and $$$$ unless you want to spend hours entering all your past years figures.
It does have some great information about the details of accounting and I probably would use it if I didn't care about having all my past years transactions available to view reports I value like YTD compared to previous years. Peachtree suggests starting the new year with their software and entering just the totals from previous years. For me, it's the details that give me the information to see exactly where my business needs tweaking and where it is flourishing. Perhaps the automakers could have used this information on their business practices to their benefit.
Anyway, this is a good accounting program if you want something that doesn't cost much, you don't want to import transaction details from previous years, and you need more information about specific accounting practices.
In addition, I was initially impressed with the emails from Peachtree asking if I had any questions when I requested their trial software. I actually found such a great price on the full software that I ordered it before even trying the trial version...my mistake. However, as soon as I stated that I had purchased the full version, I got NO response with my questions about where is the detailed transaction information on the conversion from Quickbooks 2005.
I ended up getting Quickbooks 2008 and it is fantastic and absolutely no issues importing old data completely and working with Vista 64-bit.

2.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected, April 3, 2009

This product was listed as being compatible w/ Windows Vista. I received it very quickly and quickly downloaded it as I had just started a new cleaning business. I mainly wanted it to create invoices for my complexes and to keep track of expenses. I had used Quicken in the past when I helped my cousin w/ her business and liked it. I saw Peachtree when I went searching and really like the price and product info. But after downloading, I could never open it. Finally customer service helped me reformat my computer as it was not compatible w/ Vista. It is not user friendly. When I mark invoices as paid, it takes a while for it to show paid in the system. I have to wait before writing out the next invoice for the complex or it shows an unpaid balance. Also navigating through the system takes a while.

OOPS had a bad disk!!!Does not mention any where that this is not 64 bit Vista compatable but it is. It will load on 64 bit Vista. I am a Peachtree user in the past. I could not get mine to load but service had me try to copy it to hard drive and it would not. Sent me new disk and my world is rosy again. Amazon review will not let me change my rating
