Summary: Save your money, don't buy this product
Review: After purchasing this program, I found out you can only print, copy or export two thousand records from the database before the program requires you to pay more money for more records. This program has more bugs than any other program I've ever used. It hangs just about every time I use it and it is slow. The program also has no import features to speed data entry. Over all I would say I wasted money on this program because I can get the same data off the Internet for free, and just as quickly.

Review: PowerFinder is the quickest, easiest to use and most accurate phone directory we have found. And we have reviewed many, including on-line services.

Review: This is another terrible product by InfoUsa. For a small business trying to extract information for mailing lists it's a waste of time and money. It's even worse than SelectPhone, which used to be a terrific software package. You can't extract more than 1000 names at a time, it's hard to use, nothing is co-ordinated for the user. They lie on their promotion and packaging. Nothing works. Don't waste money on ProCD either. I'm trying to find a software program like this that actually works

Summary: It Depends on Why You Use It...
Review: This is my third year of purchasing these discs, and although there are things I don't really like, they serve my purposes very well. If you want to use this product for mass marketing, be warned that you can only print a limited number of mailing labels from the program before you have to call the company and pay extra to increase the number you can print. Since I use it to clarify address information and to located specific individuals and businesses, printing labels is not a problem. The program provides search capabilities far superior to online address websites. You can search by name, address, phone, zip code or business type, and reverse-search by many of these same fields. Online address/phone search engines simply don't compare. I can look up all the Bubba Smiths in the entire state of Texas, or look at every business or residence on a particular street. The reviews below mention that the program is slow, but I don't have that problem. In fact, some of the problems with last year's release seem to have been fixed this time around. Registration is much easier, and the program no longer opens up a browser window taking you to the InfoUSA website. Still, there are a number of promotional screens that you have to close whenever you start or stop the program. Overall, you might be disappointed if you want to do mass marketing, but for regular searches, this program is a huge asset.
