Great Networked Calendar
We have owned this product in Versions 7 and 9 for our law office for several years. If you need for more than one user to access the program simultaneously, as we do in the office, the program networks seamlessly.You could pay a fortune for a multi-user calendar like this from other vendors. If you have more than two users needing access, you can buy a license. I have seen many complaints in these reviews about technical support; I have e-mailed a couple of times and received a thorough response within 24 hours. The interface for the calendar and address book is easy to use. I highly recommend the program because of features, ease of use, and price.

Works well
Have been using this (actually version 9) for a week or so.It seems to do everything you'd want, and is very similar to the paper day-timer I used years ago.

No problems. No complaints.

Do not buy if you want support
Anytime Deluxe 9.0 sounds good for the money.Mine quit working on WinXP after 2 days, and tech support did not reply to my complaint for over a week, when I was given the address to their FAQ page.It contained no helpful information. After calling them, the tech support person admitted there was a problem, and had me modify my registry.The software ran for about 2-3 days, and then stopped working again.I have called and written emails and tech support has not responded in over a week.Even at its best, the software is mediocre - so save your money and buy some software that works and that the company will support.

Uncooperative and Annoying
I bought Anytime because I already had version 2.0.I liked the earlier version, but many of the things the older version had were either missing or less user friendly in 8.0.I couldn't load the files from version 2.0 directly into the new, (fortunately the old computer is still running so I could manually copy one to the other.)The entry process had a lot of unecessary steps which slowed down the process.Version 2.0 reminds you of missed date entries, the new one doesn't.

The version 8.0 has a lot of bells and whistles, like fax/cell/watts numbers, direct connection to e-mail, and a few others.The technical assist to Anytime is non-existant, either by 3 no-responce e-mails or 45 minutes on the phone.I'd stick with version 2.0 if you can load it into your computer, otherwise stick with Outlook.

This software is very good for the price
I have looked all over for some good organizer software.Places like IBM want 80 bucks for lotus organizer.This software is only 30 bucks and does everything i need, sets alarms for appointments, keeps track of my to do list, and keeps addresses.If you want some good organizational software that wont break your piggybank but has a nice looking easy to use interface, this software is great. ...

This operates pretty simply, but for the price I would have expected more features.The OCR is fair with only 10-15% of the cards populating the fields all correctly.
Major drawbacks are that cards with black color in them split into two cards.
No crop or straighten tool (the program claims to auto-straighten but does not work well)I fixed this by using an Avery (7600) clear 3 ring binder card holder page to keep the cards straight while scanning.This has helped a lot. ... Read more

After all these years I thought this product would be better
I've been a user of ACT software going back to version 3.0. Being in software sales, over the years most software vendors have adopted more souped-up CRM solutions such as Salesforce.com or Siebel or the like, so I can imagine the interest in this product category has been lacking. STILL, the feature set of this product hasn't changed much in the ten or so years sinced I used the earlier version. In fact, this product has become more bloated and buggy than any commerical software product I have ever used. I've considered listing all the bugs but it would be too long. But I will say this, other than a weird bug that sometimes mis-categorizes contacts into groups I didn't intent them to be a part of, the other bugs tend to be obvious use-ability type things. Bugs that a half asleep QA tester should've found.

Having said that, the positives are these: First, ACT! is nothing if not a good contact manager and task manager - nothing more, nothing less. I like being able to group contacts into multiple groups, and do pro-active email marketing to the members of specific groups - that feature works really well inconjunction with MS Outlook. In fact integration with Outlook and my PocketPC Cell phone is really exceptionjal. Integration with Word is also very strong. So, its this integration strength that keeps me booting this product up each day. BUT, if I was to purchase a product in this category again, I'd buy Goldmine (it wasn't on the shelf when I bought ACT! - my impatience!). Part of the problem with this product may be that its been owned by a number of different companies over the years. Best Software now owns the IP - let's hope they will issue bug fixes and then truly innovate this product in future releases. ... Read more

Goldmine grew buggier over the years
We've been using Goldmine after switching from Act! several years ago. Believe it or not, but back then, Goldmine was an elegantly written software, much more stable than Act!

But since then the featurelist grew, and so did the bugs! Goldmine has given our software department (and please note that we ARE a software company) nightmares. Especially moving from its internal database format to SQL server has been painfull to say the least. Although we do have a support contract, the local reseller refuses any serious help, because they just wants to sell us consultancy hours.

It's (16 bit aging Borland based) database interface cripples the performance of our SQL server from 9000 records/sec to about 20/sec. And despite modern server, network and client PC, performance is a laugh. The amount of crashes of the GM client make the situation barely workable.

If only we had an easy way to convert to another program, we would have abandonned this badly written and badly supported program years ago. Its a shame. Without the bugs it would remain our number one choice.

Powerful - Can be a dream solution with the help of Add-Ons
I admit, I've had to give GoldMine time to grow on me.It is powerful, but unless you know sql or dbase, OR you have money to invest in a consultant, it can be a little frustrating, especially on reporting tasks.I now LOVE GoldMine, and this is largely due to finding a few select add-on products to make my life easier.For example, MasterMine software totally solved for my reporting and analytical needs (a BIG gap in GoldMine!!).Buy GoldMine for your business (it works GREAT for financial professionals using seminar marketing models, and for managing a sales force) but do yourself a favor and buy MasterMine too!You'll be much happier with your CRM tool!

This is great software!
I have used many different contact management software systems in the past and Goldmine is definitely worth it's weight in gold!As an insurance agent, I have many customers who may have several different types of policies and I may send out many different types of marketing pieces based on my internal market research.Goldmine has allowed me to customize my database to gather specific information relevent to MY agency.It is not the easiest software in the world to learn but once I have invested the money in a good trainer, a world of options opened up.It's very easy to synch with Word or Excel and export client lists to labels or envelopes or form letters.It's great for running data-specific reports and has ultimately saved me thousands of man hours and money. More then worth it if you are willing to invest time and money into learning the system and all the customizable options.

I give up
After trying to use Goldmine for 6 months, I finally gave up and switched to Act.Sure, you can customize to your heart's content but it was too complicated and had too many "bells and whistles" to make it practical for me and my small business.I never did figure out how to print labels or use half the features, evern after hiring a private tutor to help me out.I had to type all my addresses into a separate file for labels, etc. before importing them. So why bother doing twice the work?I'm no techno-babe but this was just too much for me.I've had Act for a month now and use it all the time, much more user-friendly for me.

Perfect
I have been managing my mailing list for my bi-monthly newsletter using an Excel Spreadsheet exporting to Word to do all the mail merging to lables and envolopes. I desided to give My Mail List a try. I am so pleased with the purchase I am going to upgrade to the Deluxe and try my hand at bulking mailing! I definitly recommend this to folks that want a easy program that manages your data and allows you to merge to letters, lables etc all inside one program. Two thumbs up for sure!

A PGP - pretty good program
I have not seen or used a lot of other Windows-based programs of this nature, but this one is easy to use out-of-the-box for the average user.The only thing that I have come across that is somewhat difficult is the creation and modification of print templates, which is only necessary if you want a different print format than any of the many templates provided.To get a columnar listing of your mailing list data you probably will want to create your own template.The software author should make this process simpler and bug free (template creation and modificationcurrently has a few bugs, which can be worked around if you have the patience).This opinion is also from an IT administrator.I have no idea why an IT person would find this program difficult to use.

Confusing Mail List
For those of you who want to use a "User Friendly" program, I highly recommend that you DO NOT purchase this program.I found it to be very difficult to use and no technical support, unless of course you want to pay for it.This review comes from someone who is an IT Administrator, not just an amateur. ...

An Essential Business Tool
If you are looking for a software solution to organize both your contacts and day-to-day operations, this is it.Shortly after the first version of Maximizer was released, I performed an in-depth comparison of an In-House developed system, Act, Goldmine, and Maximizer.Maximizer was the better product in terms of ease-of-use, flexibility, and capability.I recently repeated that same analysis and determined Maximizer clearly remains the best choice.

Maximizer has allowed me to do the work of an entire team - making the company seem much larger to the outside world while making each client and potential client feel as though he or she is my most important account.How?1) By giving me total, instant recall of all past conversations and events for tens of thousands of contacts.In the few seconds the receptionist is transferring the call, I can pull up the contact and review his entire history in terms of past conversations, meeting notes, documents and unlimited user-defined fields customized to my operation,2) By giving me the ability to easily email quotes or other information which the person often receives while he or she is still on the phone with me,3) By allowing me to attach and save those quotes or any type of electronic document to that client,4) By giving me the memory of an elephant - enabling me to schedule contact reminders, some of which may be more than a year into the future,5) By making it easy to quickly print labels and merge contact information for mass personalized mailings, faxes, or emails.The size of the project makes little difference.A personalized message can be sent to 20,000 people as easily as it can be sent to one person,5) By continually embracing and integrating new technology into the system, 6) By allowing unlimited contacts per client thus reducing data entry for new contacts...I could continue the list for some time, but by now you have probably gotten the point.I'm completely sold on this application....

For only a few extra dollars, Maximizer 5.0 or Enterprise will add more time saving and business organizing features.Version 6.0 shows even more promise.

To summarize: I would enthusiastically recommend this tool to my best friend while hoping my competitors never find it.

(In case you're wondering, I am in no way associated with the MultiActive company or Maximizer.) ... Read more
