Just a few reasons I hate Sybiz Vision software.
- Memory Leaks cause process to exceed 2gb when then causes crash on 32-bit systems (memory addressing limitation).
- Passwords limited to 8 characters.
- Passwords stored in Clear Text
- No Data Dictionary for their own Database.
- Delivery Instructions for an Invoice are stored on the corresponding Order. Therefore if an order is invoiced more than once (eg, part deliveries) then the Delivery Instructions on ALL the invoices and the original order are changed to whatever the last invoice had for it's Delivery Instructions.
- Usernames and Passwords are pointless when each users needs file system access to the Foxpro DBF database files. They can just be copied to the local drive and easily read or converted to other formats (eg, using the "eyeball" tool, or pgdbf).
- Their "Support Partners" are useless. We offered a development contract to 2 completely separate partners who expressed interest and assured us they could do it but couldn't deliver ANYTHING after 6 months.
- If you discount an item you've sold, there is no record of this discount kept in the General Ledger. Your sales just decrease by the discount amount rather than posting a reduction to sales and increase to "Sales Discounts" or similar.
So here's a big FUCK YOU WITH A SMILE to Sybiz Software.
