    Duration of ownership: 1 Years

    Strengths: Sometimes I log into my web-hosted version-from any pc. This is great because I am often on site with clients. Other times I log into my local sync version.The best of both worlds. I am loving it!

    Weaknesses:Although a tad slower than ACT 5 and ACT 6, it compensates by being able to handle hundreds of thousands of contacts as well as numerous users.

    Overall Evaluation: I have used ACT! for years and installed/used every version since ACT! 2000. I can honestly say that ACT! 2007 is by far the best version they have put out. It is amazingly flexible. I love the seamless email integration with Outlook. Much better than previous versions. Our whole company runs on it - 15 users. Our office staff records each telephone call into the contact history and is empowered to schedule/reschedule our consultants on the fly. And with an additional dashboard plug-in I am able to measure how many hours we are scheduling and billing - and seeing incredible bar graph reports and pie charts. I honestly couldn't run my business without it. I also love how I am able to sync all my ACT! data to my TREO700p.

    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: It was once a good product.

    Weaknesses:Bugs, connection problems, lack of customer support.

    Overall Evaluation: What used to be a great product gets worse and worse with each new release. I would not recommend that anyone try ACT. If you have the old version and are happy with it....DO NOT UPGRADE! We have finally thrown in the towel and moved over the Centerbase. I can't imagine ever going back to ACT.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: History.

    Weaknesses:Email integration is still non-existant.

    Overall Evaluation: I had hoped this bloated code would work properly with Outlook without freezing. Of course it still doesn't. Apparently SAGE doesn't utilize Q/A staff. To release a program like this with the number a freezes and problems is unforgivable. When will we see an update? An inline release? Who knows? I wonder if this is the last gasp for this formally great product.

    Strengths: Easy, inexpensive way to organize yourself and your business.

    Weaknesses:Don't run this software on your outdated computer.

    Overall Evaluation: You might call me a "Dummy" (after all, I've written 9 "For Dummies" books) but, in my opinion, ACT knocks the socks off of its competition. It has more security features and functionality than BCM, and is much easier to use than salesforce.com (not to mention less pricey). So why all the negative reviews? First of all, mastering any software application requires much more than using the software; buying a scalpel doesn't make you a brain surgeon. I don't "assume" to know everything about a piece of software just because I've "used" it for years. Most of the problems mentioned throughout these reviews are based on "user error;" in fact, most users never both to perform routine maintenance on their ACT database and then wonder why it's become corrupted. As for tech support - that's the way of the world. We want rock-bottom hardware and software pricing, but then we expect to have top-of-the-line support? I can't imagine a better way yourself and your business organized than ACT. Karen Fredricks Author, ACT for Dummies series

    Duration of ownership: 5 Years

    Strengths: All I need, and a gret price.

    Weaknesses:Need RAM

    Overall Evaluation: I could not run my business without ACT!, I have been a user since version 4.0 and now run v2008 and love it. My entire staff loves it. Upgrading was a bit of a challenge at first because I had older computers, but once I upgraded some of the older PC RAM, all was running better than ever. I love the scalability (we have a large database) and even better is the integration with Office, mainly Outlook. So much better than it ever has been. Keep up the good work ACT!
