Customer Reviews of ACT! 2005 Upgrade
ACT 2005 Disaster Being a user of ACT since 1990, I thought I would continue to upgrade as I have in the past. What a mistake. 6.0 (was no IS) a good product. 2005 has a long way to go. <
>I would like everyone to know when you transfer your 6.0 database to 2005 there is no way to revert back to 6.0 and bring your notes with. <
>What a joke. <

Don't see the value
I just installed ACT! 2005 after using previous versions of ACT for 10 years. I was very disappointed. My custom layouts were not imported, system ran slow (hard drive ran for a very long time) and there just did not seem to be anything new or innovative. I don't think this version is a step up or sideways, but in fact a step down.

>I think users on ACT 6.0 should stay on it. I have read other reviews and found nobody who thinks it works well.

>Best software needs to go back to the drawing board, start with version 6.0 (which is very good) and only upgrade when they have something new and better.
Integration Problems
I am an avid fan and user of ACT! 6.0. My database is integrated with ACT! for Palm and WinFax Pro and worked nicely since June 2003. Then, I upgraded to ACT! 2005. First, the software simply ran like it was on a 4 year old system with 64 megs of ram. Luckily, Best Software provided an update the 2nd week of Feb. Then, my ACT! for Palm stopped working. Best Software promises that fix is on its way. But, the real kicker was the refusal by both Symantec and Best Software to provide some solution for WinFax's inability to integrate with ACT! 2005. I contacted ACT! first and was told that because Microsoft is updating to the Longhorn OS, Best Software had to stop integrating with WinFax Pro. Right. They then sugested I call Symantec and ask if they planned to offer an upgraded link to ACT! 2005. After speaking with 2 represenatives who's names I can not spelll nor pronounce, I was directed to call ACT!. I explained I had already called ACT! and she assurred me it was Symantec's division that dealt with ACT!. She lied. The third represenative told me to revert back to ACT! 6.0 and at that point I asked for a refund. WinFax Pro advertises its product as an integration solution for ACT!. I was then handed to a fourth person who said they would call back in 2 days. Right. The real hardship of this situation is now ACT! 2005 only integrates with Faxrush (...). Or, you can continue using WinFax Pro by purchasing an additional piece of software from yet another company (...) which will integrate ACT! 2005 with WinFax Pro. I will be doing the same as the above reviewer and adding this to my 2005 tax write off and looking into Microsoft's contact manager.
