Checkmark Multiledger Review


I have used this program for many years through many upgrades and find it to be one of the easiest and intuitive to use and navigate. I admit I may have a little different perspective since I'm an accountant. Some people have problems with programs because they don't have the background in accounting to understand some functions. I have used Multiledger to keep the books of several clients companies and have never had any trouble doing anything that was needed. I have also recommended it and trained others to use it. It has all the features needed with much smaller files and faster performance. An added benefit is that it has both Mac and Window versions and the files are interchangeable, so you can send you file to your accountant with no trouble.Get more detail about Checkmark Multiledger.

Checkmark Payroll Top Quality


The program works well and is easy to use. However, as a payroll professional we cannot use this program because the quality of the output is so bad. The reports are cheap looking and difficult to read. They could definitely use some creative support in the design department. You can get the info you need but the forms are ugly, hard to read because of the design, and out-dated looking. Although we liked the function of the program, we ultimately decided the reports were of such poor quality that we wouldn't put our name on it to give to our clients. It made us look cheap!Get more detail about Checkmark Payroll.

Peachtree Complete Accounting 2003 (Multi-User Value Pack) This instant


Beware, both the 2002 and 2003 multi-user packages have a significant flaw(s) that are extremely frustrating.

Peachtree has a problem in that it will automatically duplicate PO / Invoice / Sales Order numbers without warning. It has no system to protect against the duplication. The objective is automation, not having to select numbers from a paper log.

If you try to run multiple workstations on a SOHO wireless network, expect major problems. You wil probably experience table locks that require constant reboot. We had to move from wireless to wired LAN - using the same router. Also had to purchase new LAN NIC cards. Problem fixed. The wireless network performed flawlessly for Peer to Peer and Internet access.

Overall the system has some merits, but the goal of Peachtree is to maximize revenue from support calls. Don't expect to find any relevant information on the Peachtree website. You will find more on USENET Newsgroups.

Since we switched from QuickBooks to Peachtree, recommend that those in need research other systems. Our only reason for switching fromQB was to have assembly capabilities. The new version of QB now has that feature.Get more detail about Peachtree Complete Accounting 2003 (Multi-User Value Pack).

Checksnet Professional 4.14 Immediately


Checksnet pro has been very helpful. I am a contractor, and being able to print my own money has been very useful. It saves time running to the bank. It gives my bussiness a more professional look. Contrary to othre opinions, I found it easy to use for the most part. All things considered, it is a fiscal benifactor.Get more detail about Checksnet Professional 4.14.

Mybooks Get it now!


The program is decent in terms of features, but it's very slow once you get past the initial screen. It seems like the program was designed in the 80's and updated with duct tape and rubber bands to get the current version.

I recently tried to reach the management of the company because it seems they dropped their personal finance product. I wanted to make sure that MyBooks (and the entire company, for that matter) will still exist in a year.

There is nothing worse than investing time and money into learning a program only to find that it is no longer supported. After almost five days I still have not heard from anyone in Appgen, and that has me a bit worried.Get more detail about Mybooks.
