Media Feedback on ACT! by Sage


Review: ACT!
Small Business Computing, Wayne Kawamoto, 3 September 2008
Wayne Kawamoto reviews ACT! 2009; praises Outlook integration, search features, and cites ACT! as “virtual lifeline for business”. Click here to view.

Excerpts:
A virtual lifeline for business owners, sale professionals and company representatives, contact managers such as ACT - one of the few that remains from a deep pool of competitors - help you manage contacts and track your interactions with them.

ACT increases its integration with Microsoft Outlook and enhances its database search capabilities. While these may sound like incremental improvements, the new Outlook integration makes the program a worthy upgrade - something that’s all too rare these days in an era of empty “upgrades.”

While ACT is powerful and intuitive, there is something of a learning curve involved in using it. Newbies will be able to quickly manage small groups of contacts, but when you add more information to take advantage of the true, comprehensive power of ACT and oversee a myriad of companies, people, tasks and events, things can become rather complicated. But it all, somehow, makes sense in the end.

Longtime customers who rely on Microsoft Outlook, and that’s probably most of them, will welcome this upgrade.
