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.

It helps us keep our financial information organized in one place which makes it easier to make sure we are on track with our budget. Pros Quicken is very user friendly. I enjoy the ease of separating our money into the different budget categories and the convenience of being able to search for expenditures based on the category they were put in. Cons I have occasionally had trouble when a check is written incorrectly and needs to be reprinted. I feel that there could be an easier process for voiding and reprinting checks. Review Source MM Maggie M. 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Assistant Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Straightforward and Functional, but Feels Outdated" November 8, 2024 4.0 Pros I use Quicken for bookkeeping.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 JB John B. Security Ambassador Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great budgeting tool" November 7, 2024 4.0 used to use it for all of my personal budgeting and finances Pros pretty easy to use for budgeting and data Cons The Quicken app is very limited and at times can be very complex to use Review Source MC M C.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better for large businesses" November 24, 2024 4.0 Pros Has alot of features and functionalities Cons The barrier to learning was high for a small business Review Source DP Doug P. owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Poor Customer service" March 28, 2024 2.0 I have used Quicken for more than 10 years. In the past few years, the Quality of the updates has been poor and the price has gone up. Customer service has declined in Boise office. Guatemala service is better but still language problem. Do not start with Quicken Home and Business! Letter to the current \[sensitive content hidden\] of Quicken I have contacted Quicken, according to your records at least 6 times this year 2024. I have been a customer for at least a dozen years. The problem was finally resolved today 3/11/2024. It was related to files that go back in time and or the size of the file. I cannot imagine it is the size nor the date, it just does not make sense to me. However today, thanks to a person in Guatemala it was resolved after approx 2 hrs. I really am upset that after speaking with a person in Boise last week for almost 2 hrs (#10890242) I was told it was an issue with my computer. I believed him, because I had spoken with numerous to Quicken support on that issue and the renaming error issue. I have spoken with \[sensitive content hidden\] at your Boise office and they have extended my subscription for 6 mos.That is the best they can do for me! \[sensitive content hidden\], did confirm when looking at the notes I was told by the agent. That it was a problem with my computer blocking and I should take it in and get it checked. I did take it in! But going back to the issue of my time and not correct advice, I spent $175.00 to have my computer checked, I was told by your employee that was the issue. It was not, according to \[sensitive content hidden\], the correct procedure was to escalate the problem. That was not done according to the notes, case #10890242. If it would have been escalated, I would not have incurred the expense. I still would have 15 or 20 hours of my time. I have to keep Quicken to run the rental properties I own. I need the data in case I am audited. So I would have to switch to another program or continue with Quicken. I would prefer to stay as switching would require substantial time and effort for a 74 year old person. My time and for that part yours, on the support time is probably 15 hours or more. That does not include my hold time or the issue that I now have to add back all the passwords to the institutions and double check to make sure there are no issues. If you do not think that is fair, then I will have no choice but to continue with Quicken. But I will let other users know of my difficulties when they choose companies like yourself. I do hope this note will help you in the future, as far as training and obvious flaws in the computer program. I have run many companies including a number of my own. It is not the money, it is my time! I also always wanted feedback from my customers to help me improve my companies and our services. I am sure you also want that for your many companies. Pros Was easy now difficult especially after updates Cons The value has gone out the window, I think this happened when they were bought Review Source TS Teresa S. Director of development Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for any small business or nonprofit" December 16, 2022 5.0 Quicken is great in my experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a program that is easy to learn, user-friendly, and not cumbersome. Pros Quicken provides all the tools that many small businesses and most small nonprofits would need to track their expenses and to provide reporting to different departments. It's very user-friendly and easy to learn, but can get quite messed up if the data going in is not entered appropriately. Trust me on that one!The reports are simple to run, and provide all of the information that I have needed in a small nonprofit. Cons I really don't have complaints about Quicken for the youth and the reports that I need it for. I'm sure that a larger company would not find it appropriate but for a smaller one it is perfect because the price is right, it's easy to use, and it's easy for reporting. Review Source CA Craig A. President Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User since the 1990's" June 6, 2023 2.0 Since late 2022 it has been horrible. Pros I have always liked how easy it was to learn and use Quicken. Getting started is easy. Cons In the last year Quicken changed their product so it only works on one computer. I have used Quicken for over a decade with OneDrive as the main storage for the database and more recently my own personal server. This made using Quicken essential for travel between my office, my home and on my laptop during travel outside the country or on family vacation.Quicken no longer allows this type of functionality and only allows you to store the main database on a local 'C' drive. Yes, you can copy and paste the database onto another computer (if you remember to do so before leaving), but then you need to re-sign into all your financial institutions. Unfortunately, the product is no longer business friendly and has rolled back to twentieth century technology when people only had one computer to use.Why programmers made this horrible decision is beyond me since almost everything has moved to cloud based programming or allows you to store and use a database from an online storage platform.

Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent for Blended families and small business" February 16, 2024 4.0 My only issue getting started was 'Adding' an account. Followed every step to frustration almost cancelling subscription. Finally I phoned customer service and they were amazing! Took over screen and walked me through. Ended up being my display on the Mac, once corrected worked great! Pros For $80 Cdn / year this is a fantastic program for blended families with multiple sources of income and complicated expenditures that require organizing. As a lay financial planner, with a rental property and a second marriage, I have spent way too much time trying to organize the finances. What has taken me literally days to do on a spreadsheet has taken me 3 or 4 hours on Quicken. Monthly expenditures and small business management will likely take me 2 to 3 hours a month now, at most. Once you organize your Transaction Payees into Categories (a few hours the first time) you never need to do that step again! Spending charts / pie graphs are clear and 'quickly' ... you know where the money is going, almost to the moment. The program was super easy to show my wife how it works and unnecessary stressors have been eliminated. Cons I say almost because transactions from the bank are not simultaneously dropped into your application. Even if you update the account (refresh) it can take time for the new transactions to show up. Apparently the web app doesn't have this issue but the downloaded desk top version does. For me, no issue, but for someone who requires immediate updates it might be a problem. Review Source Giau N.
