Peachtree can be a good starter accounting program but lots of companies we work with just plain outgrow it! When they get over a certain number of transactions or customers the system is basically just maxed out. So it is a good idea to compare Peachtree to Microsoft Dynamics GP. I read an interesting report from ASA Research Report and I was able to glean 12 Reasons a Company Should Upgrade from Peachtree Accounting Software to .
1) More Features - Dynamics GP provides 1,372 more features than Peachtree’s strongest product offering – Peachtree Quantum. Peachtree does not support multiple warehouse locations, allocation formulas, intercompany accounts, piece rates, item pictures, demand forecasting, and shelf life tracking.
2) Strong Database - Dynamics GP offers a more robust database which can handle millions of transactions without slowing down whereas Peachtree’s database performance can start declining after just 75,000 transactions.
3) Breadth of Modules - compared to just 18 for Peachtree. Based on a 2008 feature summary for 35 top accounting system solutions, Peachtree products ranked near the bottom behind 31 other popular accounting products.
4) Strong Financial Reporting - Dynamics GP offers far more reports (700+ standard reports) than Peachtree (143 standard reports).
5) Office Integration – Import, Export and Link from Microsoft Office tools such as Microsoft Excel.
