What our customer's say!"This software works great", We've been using Simply Bitware with Outlook for over 5 years and its one of the best and most important programs on our computer.
I stumbled over these bad reviews and wanted to balance out the comments.
The biggest benefit is that Bitware adds fax and VOICE capability to Outlook. It sends and receives faxes but the most surprising thing is that it acts as our answering machine and also SENDS voice messages. I used this to tell our neighborhood about a political meeting by sending 300 voice messges. Everyone thought I had called them personally!
When we get home all communications are in our inbox - email, fax & voice - one place to get everything. Voice messages and faxes can be stored just like emails, in Outlook's folders and played/viewed by just double-clicking.
Our installation has two modems and two lines, Bitware manages them both. When we send faxes it automatically selects a free line so both lines can be used at once.
I think the problems people have are to do with getting decent modems and installing them right.
We used Bitware for 4 years with Outlook 2000 and recently upgraded to Outlook 2003 and Bitware works really well.
"SAVE YOUR MONEY!", Bitware is a waste of money - I received my first version (Cheyenne) with my modem several years ago and it worked very well. After Accpac took over - and "upgraded" I have not been able to get it to work correctly. Technical support is a joke and their customer service is poor. I was told it worked with XP so they were more than happy to sell it to me but once I notified them that it wouldn't work they offered several excuses blaming my modem (even though my new modem came with the software??) Save your money - check on Venta Fax & Voice, a much better product. Needless to say, I will never use their product again.
"Download", Your download stinks. I purchased a download that said I could get the program within 30 min,,,,,,,,,,,,NOT........I can't get the program I purchased and you won't answer my email attempts to contact you. I give your service a negative 3 1/2 stars and will not use your service again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Function surpasses the form. It needs help.", GOOD: Excellent voice quality. Flexible voice mailbox routing. Runs in the background (in Windows system tray). Releases modem so I can connect to Internet without having to exit Bitware. Easy faxing. Speakerphone-compatible.
BAD: Answers calls at random instead of after the designated number of rings, which interrupts phone calls and fills Inbox with useless messages of recorded converstations.
UGLY: It takes too many clicks to access your inbox (New Message window, main messaging window, Inbox, and then my Inbox).
Simply Bitware 8.2.860 came bundled with my Broadxent voice modem (supported by Creative, aka ModemBlaster v.92 PCI). The box said Windows XP-compatible, so I expected the modem to cooperate with the bundled software and my computer. Neither ACCPAC or Creative have been able to solve my problem after nearly two weeks of seeking their help. If not for the faxing, I'd have been happier with a [price] standalone answering machine.
