Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Software : ACT! 6.0
You really have to consider two distinct groups or users when rating ACT!.

As a single user/small business on one PC...

This product has a lot to offer when the database is not shared. It is easy and extremely intuitive to use and has all the typical features that one would expect from CRM software.

Recording and tracking client interactions is easy and the interface between ACT and your mail software (especially outlook) is relatively simple.

The phone settings can be a pain always defaulting to a standard format... but you can disable/change this is preferences.

As multiple-user enterprise CRM software...

Software : Sage Instant Accounts v12 (PC)
This software is not for the novice
I had 3 full days training on this software before doing my accounts for a business of £1M turn over
I find it relatively easy to use because I have been shown correctly
You can make corrections - you just need to know the correct way to go about it.
I also think it is essential to have a thorough knowledge of whats going on in your business as this helps you see see if there are any obvious errors in the reports which you can produce.
I find I can prepare debitor/creditor statements in seconds
Send out letters to the same in seconds
& have saved over £250 per month in accountancy fees
worth using but get some training first (accountants didnt study for ... Read More:

Software : Instant Payroll - ( v. 11 ) - complete package - 1 user - CD - Win
This product is now out of date - you'll need to update the PAYE & NIC thresholds for the tax year 2006/07
This version comes with support for the Inland Revenue (now HMRC) secure mailbox - the only problem is this was scrapped by HMRC earlier this year and replaced by a totally different system.

You'll also probably have to pay Sage another £99+VAT per year for Sage Support (which you'll need) when you encounter one of the many bugs & quirks that this ships with.

It doesn't clear down report values from the previous tax year properly so you'll end up with confusing or just blatantly incorrect reports.

If all you really want is a piece of software that works out PAYE & NIC deductions for ... Read More:

4.TAS Books Basics v7 (PC) from: Sage

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Software : TAS Books Basics v7 (PC)
Bought this direct from Tas as an upgrade from v5 only because I was assured it was compatible with Vista.
Within 10 minutes, I found two errors. Contacted the sales rep, and was advised to contact TAS support - support gave me solutions for each problem. The first involved a reg update which didn't work - I later found out that the solution would only work if run in viata admin mode - TAS support didn't advise that.
The other problem was that their new funtion "TAS Books Today" gave me the figures for 2005 not the current year - this required contacting support, and talking through a data maintenance routine to correct - I haven't contacted them about that.

Now this is an business accounting package, and the errors I have ... Read More:

Software : Instant Accounts v11
I’ve been using sage accounts for my small business for 4 years. To get beyond the very basics you need expensive and time-consuming training. My accountant recommended a simple spreadsheet accounting system, which I have been using for the last 4 months and I have to say, has been quite liberating. There are definitely better products out there and I would urge anyone looking for accounting software to avoid this product. Having said that, ‘Sages Payroll’ software is brilliant & I continue to use to this day.
