Strengths: VERY EASY TRANSITION FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONQUICK INSTALL
Weaknesses: TOO MANY INTERRUPTIONS/POPUP WINDOWS OFFERING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON OTHER PRODUCTS/SERVICES.
Summary: I USE QUICKBOOKS PRO TO MANAGE THE FINANCES OF SEVERAL CLIENTS. FOR SMALL COMPANIES, THE DESKTOP VERSION IS MUCH MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN USING QUICKBOOKS ONLINE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE ENTITIES INVOLVED.

Strengths: ease in following flow charts, entering sales and purchases, and tracking cash flow
Weaknesses: Slow to load up. Apparently companies created in or upgraded to Pro 2008 cannot be viewed by early versions of QuickBooks.
Summary: I was trained on QuickBooks Pro 2006. QuickBooks Pro 2008 is very similar. It really has a nice tutorial. The Startup and Quick Reference Guide I found very helpful as it contains info on installation, Setup, Key Concepts, Essential Tasks, and New Features. Each section in the little book are easy to find since each section has its own color tab. In the Essentials Tasks chapter, it has sections that cover: Setting Up Your Business, Money In, Money Out, Managing Your Business. At the end there also is a Frequently Asked Questions section and Index.

Strengths: De facto standard accounting software
Weaknesses: * Price* The old glitches and functionality limitations seem to migrate from one version to another without ever being fixed.
Summary: I purchased this software after my academic version of QuickBooks Pro 2007 ran out of 3 allotted activations. The very "gotcha" practice of selling the software that relies on activations without clearly stating the number of activations allowed right on the box is unethical, but with competitors consistently delivering immature products, Intuit seems to get away with its inferior business practices. The same is true for the company's support and product upgrade philosophy. I wonder how long this business model will work. This is an OK product, but if you are using version 2007 or 2006, do not bother spending money for an upgrade, unless you too were unfortunate enough to exceed your activation count.

Strengths: powerful tool, lots of features.
Weaknesses: not always intuitive to use, not the best user interface.
Summary: Quickbooks has a lot of features for my business, and I will not use most of them. I am not an accountant but I needed Quickbooks for my small business. I had to read a couple of tutorials before I could start using this powerful tool.

Strengths: Has a powerful Graphical User Interface that allows easy and quick access to various parts of the application.
Weaknesses: I haven't found any weakneses.
Summary: I have used an older version of Quickbooks, maybe 2004 and when I tried 2008, it looks completely different. They did a great job with making it easy to access everything without much difficulty finding it.
