Upgrading from Act! v10 to Act! v11... Worth it?

I need to buy another license for Act! (contacts management software). Version 10 is kind of slow, but very good as far as functionality.

I am considering whether I buy another copy of the old version

or

Buy a copy of the new version and upgrade my v10 software.

If you have done such an upgrade, was there a noticeable difference in performance? I am not interested in integration with Office, just in the speed of the software.

Please let me know if you find anything out about this... our company is also suffering with this damn program... Thanks!

Have you looked into migrating to a web-based CRM product? It would be more scalable and possibly easy to use. Sage will continue to 'upgrade' you to death if you let them.

Response by poster: Well, I ended up buying another license (needed to get started with some marketing in the new financial year).

mateuslee : Is your problem how slow it is? I am just putting up with it for the moment.

ijoyner : Any recommendations? Web based could be very interesting.
