Easy to use [Posted on 2007-09-24]
The product was easy to install and populate. If you want to import Quicken files you will need to upgrade to the Quickbooks Pro version.

Steep learning curve for non-accountants, Installation, support issues [Posted on 2007-12-24]
I was looking for a simple package to keep records for small non-profit. Everyone advised me to get Quickbooks. Tried the free version first, but it is too limited. I can't even imagine a business so simple that version would work for. Tried Simple Start 2007, installed OK on first attempt and used the package for around 6 months. Learning curve is steep but manageable for non-accounting types. Biggest problem (and so far unsolvable) came about when I contracted a virus on my PC. After clearing off the virus I had to reload most of my applications and all came back up fine. Quickbooks will NOT reinstall. I've tried all their fixes from the Intuit website and nothing works. I called Intuit Quickbooks, turns out this is a known bug and they still wanted to charge a fee to allow me to talk to a customer service person. I've decided to write off the $100 for the Quickbooks and use the free Microsoft Office financial package. I won't be buying anymore Quickbooks packages.

Guess I didn't read enough. If you already have QB and do payroll, this is not what you want. Now with the 2007 versions - if you need to do payroll, you'll need QB Pro. Fortunately, QB did an upgrade for me at an upgrade discount, so I didn't loose the $ totally.

Too limited. [Posted on 2008-01-02]
Not suited for any business that does much volume or has employees. The ads didn't clearly tell me I couldn't add Payroll over this version. Ended up having to buy the full Quickbooks anyway, wasting money.

Perfectly named Simple Start is just that - and more! [Posted on 2008-06-11]
Our home business has been going for years on Quicken and Excel. It wasn't a great solution, or a fast one, but it was cheap and I didn't have to spend a ton of time learning a complex new program.

Last month my need for invoicing, applying discounts, and keeping track of individual parts and selling units outweighed the abilities of our current system -- so I went looking for an inexpensive and easy solution.

I'd used Quickbooks Manufacturing at work, and it's a behemoth - definitely does the job, but not easy to learn all it's complexities very quickly.

I was worried that Simple Start would be a pared-down version, but still not easy or quick to learn. I also wasn't ready to pay the $70 price tag for the 2008 version.

Seeing the 2007 version available for a much cheaper price, I was willing to give it a shot. I'm very happy I did.

Simple Start was installed, data was entered and I was printing invoices in 3 hours!

An added bonus? A free online upgrade to Simple Start 2008!

Simple Start is a perfect fit for my tiny home-based business.
