Title: A shoddy effort by Best Software
Review: I bought this despite mediocre reviews, because I use ACT! and QuickBooks so much that almost any integration would be better than none. But the reviews are justified -- this is really a half-assed effort by the ACT! makers, probably the work of a single programmer in a week, grossly overpriced, compared to the value one can get from other ACT addons at lower cost (e.g. Address Grabber or Street Wizard). This product adds a QuickBooks tab to ACT! that allows you to access QuickBooks data like payment and invoice history. But this is non-customizable, so most people will only get part of what they'd like. You can also create new vendor or customer records in ACT or QB from data in either application. But the synch feature simply does not work, at least on my PC. I can link existing ACT and QB records, but attempts to update the QB record with new ACT info (address, phone number) does not work. Best Software is shameless in charging so much for this trivial link ($99).
Is the review positive or negative?
