Summary: Worst PC Software to Manager Your Financial Data
Comment: I've used all sorts of PC software for more than 20 years, and Quicken is without a doubt the lowest quality commercial software available. It's really quite terrifying, because if you use Quicken for a number of years, it ends up holding all of your financial data, which is vital for investing and taxes. How would you like this precious data held hostage by an unbearably slow, bloated, and buggy program?
The annual upgrades always focus on adding more features of dubious value and rearranging the user interface rather than improving the quality of the program by fixing bugs.
I've been using Quicken for about 20 years, since the DOS days! I now use it on Windows, and I'm stuck because it holds all my data. Think twice (no, 10 times!) before you entrust it with yours.
Customer Rating: Summary: Everything I expected!!
Comment: The product was of the highest quality and was received sooner than could be expected. This is, without a doubt, a terrific tool for personal finance and budgeting that I would recommend to anyone; and if you're gonna buy it, I suggest buying it through Amazon.com from NothingButSoftware.com! Absolutely outstanding service and quick delivery!
Customer Rating: Summary: Quicken Rocks
Comment: I used Quicken through 2002, when I had a small business to keep track of. Then I stepped away because I needed better control of my budget. (I used BudgetMap--highly recommended if your problem is spending money you don't have.)
Then I got married and had a baby and BudgetMap got too complicated. I got the new Quicken Premier so I could use it to track our investments in addition to our checkbook.
I haven't tried using the Savings or Investment tracking features yet. I had months of un-balanced checkbook accounting to do. Quicken made it a snap by uploading 3 months of entries from my online banking account and pre-reconciling amounts so uploaded. Which means less data entry for me.
It also matched online banking entries with entries I hand-made as they occurred. Now I can reconcile my checking account in seconds instead of minutes. Yay!
Can't tell you if the Savings feature works (I trust the investment tracking one will--it's available on so many websites that it can't be hard), but if it does, that makes Quicken the most useful reasonably-priced financial management program on the market.
Customer Rating: Summary: It ain't what it use to be
Comment: I have been using Quicken since it's inception. I do believe that it started out as "CheckSum". They were a great company and were only to glad to make you happy with their product. Then, each year, thay added more and more stuff. At first what they added was good, but now the program has become bloated. It is more than any of need or can address and each year thay add a little something and charge a very substantial fee to upgrade when it should only be a free update. They really don't give you much support, but they tell you that they will stop supporting previous versions so that you'll spring for the new version. Some of the so called improvements are very confusing and complicated like "save a place" in the investment portfolios. I have not yet figured out what to do with it even though I have tried everything. The latest version "2008" isn't worth the money. Stay with your older version. For my needs, it adds nothing but increased revenue for Intuit!

Comment: I did not care for this product. It is very limiting and not user friendly.
