    1 out of 5 stars Dreadful - serious waste of money and time   August 29, 2007

    If you are a user of previous versions of Act!, I reccommend you avoid this software. It will cost you far more than you pay. The new owners of Act! are difficult and unhelpful and the many many problems of the software are almost impossible to resolve. I've gone back to a previous version and written off the cost of buying Act 2005 as experience not to deal with this company again.

    Do yourself a favor and stay away from ACT! software. They should be embarrassed to sell this piece of trash.


    1 out of 5 stars Act 2005 is a major disappointment!   March 8, 2007

    We had the old ACT 2000 and it worked great but we needed to upgrade it so our envelopes would print out properly. We purchased a 5 user license and the ACT 2005 has been a major disappointment. It is slow in booting up even on newer computers and if you haven't worked in it for 10 minutes or so, it can take 30 seconds of waiting before you can fill in a data field. ACT 2005 was released with a lot of bugs, there were some major patches and then guess what? Sage decides in their wisdom not to support the software anymore, they will just release ACT 2006 and then ACT 2007. These people don't care about their products or their customers, its all about the money to them. Avoid this garbage at all costs!!!


    1 out of 5 stars ACT! has taken a "dump" since Sage took over   December 28, 2006

    Used to be a great product. I've been using ACT! for over 10 years. Since Sage took over, it's slower, wont do faxes, wont do macros, is tempermental, fields sometimes don't accept input. But worst of all is the incredible "nickel and diming". $70 for their paperback guidebook? $300 for tech support -- and then you wait to speak to someone in India? Do yourself a favor and see if you can live with Microsoft's less sophisticated but less larcenous database.

    I started with Act4 and decided to upgrade to the newer and better Sage Act 2006. It immedialtely had problems. I bought the service agreement for Act2006(its expensive) This agreement ends in Sept 2007. I was told that with this special #### I would get special Treatment..(boy did I go for the ole okey doke). I just received from Sage the annoucement for the new Act2007. That states Sage will not be offering any support for Act2006 as of 11/30/2006. So the so called service agreement(that you never get through to anyone that you can understand.)That was purchased for Act2006 will not be supported after Nov 2006.
    Beware be very aware.....
