Oh there was a time back in the 1990’s when ACT was one of the top CRM programs on the market. My company used it and it was my introduction. It was a good software based program that you could update every few years with a decently priced software upgrade. Fast forward to the late 2010’s and the move to cloud based. It got very pricey and buggy. At one point every time I closed and reopened the program I had to go into the System Configuration Edit screen to allow the database to load. They tried to fix it any number of times but never could get it function correctly. Also, the program would time out after a few hours and you would have to reopen again. After paying $400 for a year I decided to fold and walk away. Sadly, as the other comment said, there was a way to get the data out. I had exported the database several times but it just didn’t work. It felt like giving up on an old friend of 30 years. But much like friends that get a bit cranky and difficult to deal with, your realize it is time to go. Now, I am just using Outlook with some tweaks. Not really a great CRM, but then again, $400 less a year and doesn’t need to be monkeyed with to get it to run.

The Good…

Good Contact Management system with reminders and notifications.

The Bad…

ACT in transition from a software to Cloud program was filled glitches and problems not found in the software version. In addition for a basic function CRM it is pricey and so-so customer support.

I resent the fact that this program holds my contact information acumulated over 20 years for ransom unless I pay the subscription fee!!! This really upsets me off and I highly resent it. It used to be I did not have to pay anything until it was time to upgrade at my choice to a newer better program that had been improved. Last year in 2019 I experiences multiple issues when Act! decided to upgrade to a newer version. This newer version resulted in Act! own technical people sending me to an outside source to correct the problem which cost me even more. ACT!! has become a disaster for me now and after over 20 years of use I am going to look for a CRM that can supply me with what I need!!! (A NON-SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE THAT DOES NOT HOLD MY DATABASE FOR RANSOM EVERY YEAR). I am one upset customer.

The Good…

I like that I can do my daily tasks and have ones not completed rolled over to the next day. Many other things are useful as well.

The Bad…

I do not like the fact that I have to pay a subscription every year that holds my database of over 20 years hostage if I do not renew every year.
