ACT! by Sage BusinessWorks OK on SBS?

December 30th, 2009 - 03:46 pm ET by Joe#2 | Report spam
I have a customer who has decided to install ACT! by Sage on his SBS2003
server. I sets itself up in the Admin "Mydocuments" which to me is a bad
place to set up an shared folder with all user all privagles access. I
suggested he contact their support and go back and set it up on another
drive.

Have any of you had any experience with ACT! on SBS? Its a customer database
management tool of some kind I believe.

I have had some experience with ACT! Let's just say that I was as
unimpressed with it as I am with most software today. It's big, bulky,
fragile, and slow. Be careful with it.

customer support web site. I will pass this all along.

I hope it goes smoothly for him, I just had some nagging alarmssomewere in
the back of my head about ACT!
