Summary: Where is ACT for WINDOWS XP and Outlook Express 6.0?
Review: ACT 5.0 works very well and is reasonably easy to use. However, there is one killing flaw. IT WON'T WORK WITH OUTLOOK EXPRESS 6.0. So, those of us with WINDOWS XP cannot take advantage of what was formerly a seemless interface with Outlook Express 5.0.

Summary: Beware palm users who telecommute
Review: ACT does not support using your palm to synch between two computers. I work at home half the time and at the office half the time, and have always used one palm to synch to both machines. If you do this with ACT, you end up with 4 different copies of each record. You can synch database to database at two different locations, but it entails using a zip drive (floppy is too small) to carry the updates from computer to computer. Not very convenient.

Theoretically a great product, but I can't really use it.

Summary: The strongest will survive
Review: At first when I was using ACT 2000 I was unsure of the quality of it and how well it would handle my work load. After a few months I was put to shame as became aparent that this indeed was the saving grace that my company was looking for. With its easy to use interface and group interactive qualities it easily became the most used product at my company. Definitely a thumbs up from this guy.

Summary: Disappointing - wait until another version is released
Review: I am terribly disappointed in this software. Because it has been sold back and forth among several companies over the last few years, product development has lagged badly. Right now, the product isn't worth using. As one of their support technicians acknowledged to me on the phone, ACT's integration of email with other contact management functionality is practically nonexistent, leaving the program several years behind the realities of relationship management in the 21st century. ACT is so bad in its current state that I uninstalled it and am writing off the cost of the software. Perhaps if I do not find a better solution in the meantime, I may look into the next version whenever it is released. But for right now, NOT RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Ask their Support Staff Questions First
Review: I asked sales at ACT if their software would be able transfer files from Maximizer to Act and they said Yes. But, in reality, ACT doesn't have a way to transfer "Notes" on each record into the ACT program. Next...
