Works Well, but be prepared...
Written by WC from Alpharetta
May 16, 2009
Very full featured product, probably the best in its class for Mac. But they price their products like an old carnival show: wan…Read moret to integrate with your mail application, that's extra; what about sending yourself a report on a set schedule, again that's an extra cost; want to integrate w MYOB, Lightspeed, MoneyWorks, or Filemaker, agin have your credit card out for each one. And, if you download the "Free" Daylite Touch Application for your iPhone you are going to also need your credit card (it cost $50 per application per year to activate the application). Additionally, if you want to use your iphone Daylite Touch Application while the Daylite Program is running on your Mac, you need to purchase another license for the Daylite program. So, you should consider all of these extra costs in deciding which program is best for you (cost/benefit analysis). I am having second thoughts about staying w this program.

A bit too much and lacks all in one view
Written by MM from Naperville
Feb 14, 2009
You can visit the company's website and download a 30 day full version free trial of the productivity suite. Highly recommended. …Read more While I can see this working for multiple people who work in a small business. I was looking for a software suite that could function a bit better than Entourage...more like FranklinCovey's PlanPlus. This missed the mark. I would say that if you are a person who has a lot of information to manage and schedules projects out then this might be a good program for you. Give the free trial a whirl and see if it works. Personally, Entourage meets my needs for now.

Wishing Daylite would ACT more logical!
Written by MP from Carmel
Sep 16, 2008
The primary usefulness of ACT lies in it's ability to see all customized fields for a given contact in one window. With Daylite I…Read more have to go the Forms window> find the form> double click on it> then scroll down the list to see all the fields in bland linear form. TOTAL TIME WASTER. Whatever happened to drag and drop custom fields into a nice contact view layout? Is that really so hard?
Also why does designing customized letter templates require a Master Degree? With ACT I could just use design customized designs in an already familiar MS Word.
Why can't I mail merge custom fields into customized letter templates. I have spent 6 months trying to figure this out- to no avail.
I would LOVE to love Daylite- as ACT has limitations, too - but Daylite seems to take a giant steps backward in it's attempt at market dominance with CRM. My transition to Mac has been smooth EXCEPT for the CRM transition. The only reason I have VMWare Fusion on my Mac is to use Windows for ACT.
I want to go Mac native for everything and that means accessing my 700+ customer base with 40+ custom fields each into a user-friendly WYSIWYG CRM.
Marketcirlce- this is your window to grab the market while ACT is still asleep on a Mac version. If you don't adapt- ACT will be back.(62 of 71 people found this review useful)

useful for persons and organizations with busy and dynamic schedules
Written by HB from Orlando

I'm a long-time Mac user. To handle my calendar and contacts, I've used Act! for Mac and Entourage and tested Now-Up-to-date & Con…Read moretact.
There is simply no better product to support a person with a busy, dynamic schedule than Daylite!
What is especially critical are the details that are sorely missing in those other apple programs.
While I love Apple Mail, iCal and Address book, there has been an enormous gap in tying them together to keep my business organized. I am particularly delighted at how Daylite takes almost all the pain out of managing projects and gives us a real leg up on taking advantage of business development opportunities that would otherwise get overlooked.
Marketcircle adds new and useful features with every update.

Awesome "calendar!"
Written by PH from denver
Mar 9, 2007
This is one of, if not the, best calendar/time-management systems I've used. It works seamlessly with Mail and was a snap to use-…Read more-completely intuitive. If I have any complaint, it's that I can mark an appointment as tentative, or complete, etc., but it doesn't show that information on the calendar. But if that's its only fault, boy!! A top recommentation!

MarketCircle DayLite Dangerous: Causes Permanent Data Loss, Beware
Written by IA from EAST PATCHOGUE
Dec 30, 2007
This is a downright dangerous and data-destroying program. Read more below and check online before you risk your data with DayLite…Read more.
After my old beloved program Common Knowledge's Arrange (WebArrange) of past years went out of business, I had to settle for Daylite several versions ago. It seemed to promise the combination of time/contact/task/calendar and project management that I sought.
Over time, despite being buggy, and slow, I put up with the introductions of new and serious bugs every time the product was "updated" but by then was too stuck using it to move away.
In the last year, the product's new 'improved' version actually broke things that worked in previous versions. If you have a significant sized contact list, you can be assured of synching nightmares with AddressBook.
You are also almost guaranteed to suffer permanent data loss, where Daylite will repeatedly destroy your data in AddressBook and other places.
A detailed PDF shows screenshots and details of how your data will be destroyed by Daylite.
Google DayLiteCausesDataLoss and see for yourself.
They have apparently disabled some basic functionality now so LESS of your data can be destroyed --- but now you need to manually check/add/edit data in AddressBook AND DayLite, e.g. URLs for a company.
For individuals Daylite is complex, poorly explained, somewhat esoterically architected, and hard to learn.
For professionals and businesses, it had great potential but can you afford to lose not just time but actual data to a buggy program?
Your choice.
