Bad Points

Not good for people in the service industry or if you are a small shop - this is built for big business.
Word processor is terrible - spell check doesn't work.
It's a space hog, I had to upgrade my RAM to run it.
Isn't suited for service operations without alot of redesign of the fields and layout.


General Comments

Very unhappy with ACT 2005, particularly the Word Processor, which YOU SHOULD NOT COUNT ON FOR ACCURATE SPELL CHECK. Since I deal with "C" level execs, this is critical for me and it doesn't work. I have to do my work in Word, then create a new doc in ACT and copy and paste my doc from Word. Ridiculous.
It isn't easy to work with either. I am a single person shop providing services - this software is meant to be used on an enterprise wide basis for people selling "hard" goods. The opportunity section is useless to me.
It lacks basic stuff - like, putting the admin person's name as a field in the primary record - you have to create secondary records.
