Peachtree Complete Accounting 2005 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am currently using Peachtree Premium accounting 2005 and would NEVER recommend that anyone use this software.
First, the software is full of bugs. For example, our accounts receivable aging is constantly becoming out of balance with our general ledger. This is clearly a system issue. Peachtree / Best Software has built an "integrity check" which is their system for fixing the database. I have been forced to run this integrity check, which takes approximately 2 hours to complete, 4 times this month. I check our A/R balance again today, and it is again out of balance. This will be the 5th time this month I've been forced to take my staff off line (no one can use the system while this integrity check is running), with no real resolution in sight.
I've just completed the integrity check and it found 88 database errors to correct. That is just in the past 5 days.
Second, the system is extremely slow over the network. Our internal network is very stable and rarely has issues with any other network activity. Peachtree is by far the slowest running program on our network.
Third, the system regularly freezes and crashes. When the program freezes or crashes, it requires the user to reboot. Often times, the user will be locked out of the system, because Peachtree thinks that there is still a user there. Eventually, the solution is to reboot the server where the network database resides. Again, this requires all users to stop using the system and to wait for the network system to come back up again.
resolving issues. Typically, their solution is to say that it is a problem with the way we are doing things here, when in fact we are following advice they have given us in the past.
I cannot UNrecommend this product more.

WordPerfect Office 11 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own both Wordperfect 9 and 11 and find that 9 is superior. Apparently in Wordperfect 11, Corel revamped the way the software interfaces with printers so all of the features of my printer (a new model Hewlet Packard Laserjet) do not work without going through several steps in the page setup. Further, Wordperfect 11 freezes up if one uses the latest printer drivers and only works with older versions of drivers. Plus, I bought the product with the understanding that it automatically converts batches of old wordperfect files. I have many documents in wordperfect 4.2 and 5.1. However, Wordperfect 11 does not convert batches of old files in 4.2 and 5.1. Other than above, the software is fine but you may as well stick to version 9 which is fabulous.

SmartDraw 2010 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great drawing package. I've used Visio before, and SmartDraw can go toe-to-toe with it. Visio has some automation features which can be nice if you have all of the MS suite of tools plugged in with it, but if you are creating a drawing from scratch, this product is extremely friendly to use.
I needed to create a flowchart (which was 12 pages written) and this tool made it very easy to put it all together quickly. It has way more templates than I'll ever use (everything from landscaping and blueprints to mind maps, etc.
I use it for network diagrams and flowcharts mostly, but have been extremely happy with how easy it is to use and share documents. Thumbs up!
