1.0 out of 5 stars
I don't even think a "FOR DUMMIES" book could help me with this,
By
This review is from: Peachtree Complete Accounting 2006 (CD-ROM)
I've been around my share of software in my time, both on Mac and PCs. But I have never, ever experienced such a user-UNFRIENDLY bit of software as Peachtree Complete Accounting. Navigation is not at all straightforward, actually there is nothing about Peachtree that is remotely straighforward! Even attempting to register the product was a nightmare.
I was setting this up for the company I work for and it began to look like it was going to take a year just to enter all of the banking and vendor information. And unfortunately, Peachtree considers bills such as utilities, as a vendor, so you are forced to enter meaningless infomation such as Net Terms and SHIPPING just to be able to key in your electric bill. I could go on and on about how horrible this software is, but... While struggling with this, I decided to order Quickbooks Pro and use them both so I could compare. Hands down, Quickbooks was just so much better in every respect. Now, I'm sure there are some die hards out there who just can't say enough about how good this product is, but trust me, if you aren't a CPA and you don't have the time to mess around with a poorly designed software package, just skip Peachtree, it's not worth the aggravation.

Software ok, support is horrible,

This review is from: Peachtree Complete Accounting 2006 (CD-ROM)
This program is very inflexible and rigid. On board Help files are very limited and I've never dealt with another company who seems to care less about supporting their product as you can tell just by trying to find out where to write or call. Unless you're paying the bucks for a support plan, you're toast. However, given the price of the software, which is expensive, you'd think some consideration would be given to users. If I ran my company the same way Peachtree support is managed, I'd be bankrupt.

Quality in version 2008 continues to slide down,
By
This review is from: Peachtree Complete Accounting 2006 (CD-ROM)
We've been using Peachtree for some time, but this will probably be the final year. For a relatively new release the large number of items in the Sage Knowledgebase indicates some serious issues with this release.
My notes: Multi-user capacity is now down to a maximum of 5 users. Makes running an accounting department difficult. You will most likely have to have users share user names and passwords. Bye bye to any audit trail. If you consider your business larger than a small company - buy some other software. Installation is a pain and may the gods help you if you make a mistake. Data path errors can only be corrected by removing then reinstalling the software. Come on Sage. You have got to be kidding me here. Be aware that your machines will need version 2 of the dot net framework so install that and it's updates before you tackle Peachtree install. You can not change Peachtree users while anyone else is in the system. You need exclusive access apparently. Of course, since you can only have 5 users disruption can only be minimal. Version 2008 is significantly slower than previous versions. In a multiuser environment installation of updates and tax updates can change your shared data. Always backup your company(ies) first. Version 2008 interface is horrible. I used to think the 2005 version bad, but would love to have it back know. If you need the Tax Service, be aware that you will be forced into upgrading Peachtree every 2-3 years.
