No good points.
Bad Points
Slow, memory hog, unstable, more expensive than it's worth.
General Comments
Basically, Best Software Act! is a waste of disk space. It hurts me that this virus is on one of our servers. First off, the fact that it doesn't let you NOT integrate with Outlook is unacceptable. With one person at our office, Act killed his ability to even open Outlook. Second, the inability to have Act! run against an existing SQL Server installation is horrible.
The idea of needing to have a MSDE install running on a server merely to operate software is a nightmare. It'd appear from just opening the software that Act! loads every bit of data when you start up at once.
Tech support is also a nightmare. We've been going around in circles for a week with them. I think it'd be both fitting and amusing if they were charged with false advertizing and fined $100,000 per license sold for being named "best software" when the software they put out is a train wreck.
