Slow and bulky but full-featured - Anonymous Speech, Oct 22, 2008

I bought this product because Outlook 2007 didn't seem to have as much power and flexibility for business management. After installing Act 2009 and adding all of my contact data, I found it to be very sluggish on my dual-core, 2.2 ghz pentium laptop with 2 gb ram. There is quite a lag time between clicking a button and seeing the screen refresh.

That being said, the software seems pretty powerful and customizeable, as it is built off a relational database. Integration with Outlook 2007 is good (you can sync your calendar and track messages send via outlook). However, I was sad to discover that you can't even get your Gmail via POP access using ACT because Act does not support the custom port numbers.

I am sure I have not yet tapped into the full potential of this software, but I at least wanted to comment on the speed / performance.

Outlook came out with Business Contacts Manager, which appears to give Act a run for its money. I will be trying that out next.
