Financial Institutions Don't Like it
I purchased this software with the intention of writing my business plan for my start-up.The software was very helpful in fleshing out the ideas for my new business with the step by step process.However, the stubling block came when I submitted my business plan to my financial institution; they don't like it.My loan officer and I spent many hours making corrections and getting the document properly formatted for submission to underwriting.
Perfect for me...
It has everything that I need, easy to understand it complicate and not complicate business plans (as I wish). Also one of the features I loved it is sample business plans they cover almost all kind of business. It is perfect... I strongly recommend it. ... Read more

Disappointment
I am so disappointed with this software.It crashes and seems to be extremely sluggish.I expected much better from a product that costs so much.I need to be able to create scripts for my clients, so I don't know what I'm going to do.But I may have no choice at some point to buy something else.I've got to get my work done and not have to constantly be frustrated with the way the software stumbles along.

Best Software for the Application, but needs work
It actually does what it promises to do.

excellent alternative to Microsoft Office!
Wow, this is simply amazing program that works just like Microsoft Office at less than a 1/10 of the price.In the writer's group I run on MSN, I often run into a new writers needing the basic tools to get started.When they see Office's price they scream they cannot afford the cost.They need a Word Process program like WORD - face it they need WORD!!So many steps in publishing need documents in WORD format, you need others to be able to open and read your documents.Only some people just don't have that price for Office in their budget.I had been recommending to these budding writers buy WORKS.It has the full version of WORD, but lacks Powerpoint and Excel.

Terrible customer service and technical support
Unnervingly bad customer service and technical support make this product more than just a waste of money.This product will cost you time and effort.I suggest Palo Alto software's Market Plan Pro and Ad Plan Pro as an alternative. This is a VERY STRONG product!
I doubt that the first reviewer wasn't on the staff of a competitor.This is a very good program and is very user-friendly.The menus are well laid out and the interface is smooth.The marketing ideas recommended are time-proven and effective.There are no fadish or gimmicky marketing tools here.Just practical and well presented information.Good job JIAN!

Not very strong
I found Marketing Builder to be a product that was not very reliable or helpful in building my marketing plans.I usually wasted more time with the software then writing.I'd recommend using a different marketing plan software. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This version of Corel's heavyweight desktop publishing program boosts its usefulness as a Web tool and further improves large-document handling. Corel describes Ventura 10 as "intelligent publishing for business," and for once the catch phrase is close to the truth. Ventura has been with Corel for five years, and during this time the company has molded the program into one of the key members of its professional graphics lineup.Read more

Stable Desktop Publishing Powerhouse
Ventura has always offered more features per dollar than its rival desktop publishing programs (some experts who use them all estimate it would cost $10,000 in add-ins for Quark Express to have all the features included with Ventura). I've tried some of the others, but none really can match the ease of use and power of Ventura 8, and now Ventura 10. Ventura is simply the best for publishing books, newsletters, magazines, brochures, flyers, and catalogs.Read more

Little disappointed
I was needing to make business cards for my husband's trucking business and found that there really wasn't much for clip art in the form of Semi's.I think if you were doing a different business card for something other than the trucking industry you will like it just fine.

3D-Album Commercial Suite 3.27
The product is very easy to use and understand and can allow the user of the product to create very amazing 3D animated photos. It also provide a license for selling your photo-work.Before making a purchase for this particular software a good video graphics card is necessary to see the true colors and additive blending for some 3D-Album presentations.I really like the product and can't wait for the possibility of having more control using the product.

Almost Perfect...
Being a video professional, I was looking for ways to enhance my Photo/Slide to DVD slideshows.I get many requests to do "This is Your Life" type DVD's, and was looking to improve them.

Avoid this software.
I purchased Flowcharts & More in the hopes of getting an inexpensive s/w tool for making very simple flowcharts.(I didn't see the point of paying hundreds for Visio - which I've used before.)This software has caused me hours of aggrevation and disappointment.It frequently crashes; and makes the files you were working on at the time of the crash unrecoverable. (NB: I am using Windows XP professional.) The simple line tool used to connect figures in the software doesn't function properly.And there is no product support worth speaking of. Save yourself the time and hassle, buy another flowchart product.(It isn't even worth one star - but Amazon tells me I have to assign a star value...) ... Read more
