It just did not do everything that I needed it to. Pros The value for the price. Compared to other accounting software - it is much more cost effective.

CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quicken Review" November 21, 2024 4.0 Overall I think leveraging quicken for my accounting purposes relieves a lot of the work between myself and my bookkeeper. Pros The features and functionality of Quicken meet many of my business. The reporting is simple and easy to apply and access. I think managing multiple businesses is good with this system. It has more of a scaleable feature. Cons there are times when making entries or correcting entries that I think the steps could be simplified. I also think creating custom reports could be easier in terms of formatting them report and customzing to logo and branding Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Quicken We foudn the scalability to franchise to be better with quicken Review Source SB Susana B. Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken: Great Value, Continues to Add Functionality" August 8, 2025 5.0 I have been using Quicken for over 20 years, and I have found it extremely helpful in managing my expenses, tax filings, and keeping records (invoices, receipts) safely stored. Pros Quicken's user interface is extremely intuitive as it follows the format of a checkbook register. The categorization and reporting allows me to easily find past expenses, and finalize IRS tax preparation at a click of button! I loved it when Quicken added tags, so I can be as detailed as possible without being forced to add subcategories. I had a very technical question on a process, and customer support answered promptly. Cons I understand the financial need to move to an annual fee, and the change to an online platform. However, I preferred the security of having only a desktop version and backing up my data on external hard drives. I also found that system more economical.

Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is not a 5 star program any more." March 16, 2025 4.0 I have been a user of Quicken for many years. Like most software today, Quicken is becoming bloated with extra features and they cannot fix errors with the basics as quickly as they used to. Pros Quicken helps me keep track of my finances and budget. Cons Reports are problematic and Quicken is not quick to fix their bugs. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance audio typist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good starting point, but if I expand much I will replace it." August 9, 2025 2.0 If you can't afford/don't want to have an accountant and have a small business with not too many payments/invoices to keep track of, this can be a good option. If you are larger scale, it's not quite enough for me. Pros I like having all my income streams in one place and being able to create rudimentary invoices (although I prefer another platform to be honest). Cons Some useful features are tied to certain payment tiers, which can be frustrating if I'd like them but not use them often enough to make it worth paying for. I had some data sync issues from time to time. Review Source WR William R. Lead Agent Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good so far" December 2, 2024 4.0 So far, so good but we are just not getting it fully implemented Pros ability to easily integrate both personal and business into one solution Cons The time we spent setting up and establishing rules was somewhat laborious Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Both price and the amount of complexity in setting up QuickBooks Review Source RD Robyn D.

It's an excellent program! Pros It's very easy to self learn this program. It is equally as easy to teach to others too because it's simple to understand Cons I have no complaints. It was easy to set up, it was easy to convert info from the prior program we were using. It was easy to learn and easy to teach to others. 10 out of 10 far as I'm concerned!

Administrative Assistant Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Straightforward and Functional, but Feels Outdated" November 8, 2024 4.0 Pros I use Quicken for bookkeeping. One of the biggest advantages is how easy it is to copy and paste previous entries—it saves a lot of time on entering similar repetitive expenses. I also appreciate the ability to set up recurring monthly payments, bills, and expenses, which simplifies my workflow significantly. There’s also a good amount of customization options. Cons the software does feel a bit dated. The version we’re using looks and operates like something from the early 2000s, which can make it feel clunky compared to newer software. Despite this, I like QuickBooks overall—it’s nothing fancy, but it gets the job done in a straightforward way. Review Source DT Dan T. Owner Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken.. Still the best after 30+ year os use" July 30, 2024 5.0 I've used it for business, taxes and investments for over 40 years.

Principal Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is the Grand-Daddy of Personal Finance Tools, I can't Quit It." June 7, 2024 4.0 I've used Quicken for such a long time, It would be difficult to switch to an alternative. I general it works for me, and I see no evidence which indicates I should check into alternatives. Pros It is highly evolved for tracking personal expenditures, and the performance of personal investments. Cons The smallest price point at which I can get it, is rather high. I wish it had more tailored pricing based upon the features you need. Review Source David M. Disabled Tech Blogger Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Home & Business 2022 Review" November 25, 2022 5.0 We use this software for the accounting of my wife's small business and financial reporting needs for select government programs. This is the best accounting software for a small business owner/sole proprietor in the market today. We have been using this program for nearly ten years. Pros I like the updated tax tables and current regulatory database for up-to-date tax prep tax schedules and deductions. It is easy to input transactions, categorize them, and get a running balance with ease. Cons My least favorite thing about this software is that it now requires a subscription instead of buying the program for a set price. Review Source PM Peter M. Enterprise Achitect Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "30-Year Quicken User" February 2, 2021 2.0 Intuit is so exploitive, that I would actually consider them to be immoral and I have tried many times to move to a different product, but they make it very difficult. Pros Of the personal finance managers, Quicken is probably the best. Other packages at or below this cost lack a majority of their features and in order to get them, you would have to upgrade to a much more expensive package, so it is at a price sweet spot. Cons I've been using Quicken since 1992 and consider myself quite familiar with the package. The Quicken business model is and always has been exploitive and has been adding and subtracting features for years in an attempt to always have a new product to sell. Their current subscription model is no different. However, they never improve the product. There are bugs still there that have been there since the 90's. They're reports and windows do not zoom. They do not use Windows conventions, for example keystrokes. When working properly, it provides a lot of value, but it is very easy to introduce errors into the data and impossible to fix them. Their customer support is an absolute joke. It's normally a 40-minute queue to talk to an idiot and they are so propaganda driven, that they delete any negative posts or reviews from their sites and their forum. They purposely obstruct you from transferring to their competitors. I myself have had to purchase 7 versions of the program since 2000 and that's BEFORE they moved to a subscription model. Every release introduces more bugs, but they make it impossible to freeze a particular version, constantly cutting off web access and they have Upgrade Nags constantly that you can't get rid of. And they are entirely shameless about it. Review Source Phil K. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Such a great software, I now teach it to my students. " September 4, 2022 4.0 I used this software for many years, and it became such a staple in my life that I decided to introduce it into the Computer Skills class I thought young teenagers. I think Quicken is an invaluable tool that will help kids get a great jumpstart in life, and make their money work for them. Pros I've been using Quicken for nearly 20 years now, and having so much history within the software allows me great forecasting and predictive knowledge. Cons Updates are always terrifying.....especially when I've got 20 years or transactions in there. Back up early and often. Review Source JB Jodi B. Controller Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Our company has been using Quicken for over 15 years and we are very satisfied," May 21, 2024 5.0 I use it daily and it works well! No qualms at all. Pros The software is efficient, easy, and works very well. Cons I am overall very satisfied. There is nothing I can think of that needs improvement. Review Source Giau N.
