### "Much improved from 2 years go- great software!"

October 8, 2018

4.0

Pros

If you have used QuickBooks in the workplace, then you will love Quicken. It is very similar and the updates they have made in the last few years has made a big difference. Keep track of all expenses in a seamless platform that multi-users can have access to. Works great for home budget.

Cons

Customer service and getting access to support is difficult. Minimal channels to get a real person to assist when you run into snags.

### "Quicken is a user-friendly and easy to use"

February 23, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to setup and get started; data entry is easy as well; downloading/importing transactions from a financial institution is easy; default reports give you an idea of where you are spending your money; budgeting is informative; easy to run a business including accounts receivable; easy to categorize expenses and attach a document (image or PDF of a receipt)

Cons

The cost of this product can become annoying; once users get used to it though, people find it hard to change; if users can adapt to change easily and want to save some money, there are some online or open-source finance applications that are just as good

### "Troble with seeing downloaded transactions since September"

March 11, 2018

1.0

Don't waste your money on this product and save yourself any hassles.

Pros

I have used this product for 13 years and would have written great reviews. Everything worked as it should. Maybe not so user friendly at times.

Cons

But now Quicken won't show any of my downloaded transactions. Quicken says it obtained 49 transactions during an update with bank function but it won't show them in Quicken. Their support can't fix the problem and it says that it is my bank not communication with them but then why is Quicken reporting that it sees 49 transactions then. This problem has been going on since September with NO resolutions.

### "Great Simple Product"

December 25, 2022

5.0

No problems using Quicken for recording Payroll and reconciling checks.

Pros

I liked the amount of things that you are able to do in Quicken and we used the print check function the most.

Cons

I wish there was an easier way to mass alter or mass add information into Quicken, rather than going line by line.

### "I use this program to manage accounts at multiple financial institutions."

October 3, 2018

4.0

Pros

Once an account is set up it is easy to change how the information is represented and generate different reports.

Cons

I have had some problems getting the program to automatically interface with certain institutions but that may be their fault.

### "Quicken: a frustrating user experience"

June 29, 2022

3.0

Pros

The inexpensive cost is what drew me to use this software and because it is very well known I feel more secure using this.

Cons

The most frustrating aspect of this software is that after inputting several items and spending a lot of time making sure they are correct, often they become uncategorized and make this software a complete headache to use. The whole purpose of this software is to track spending/budget (at least in my case) and when it isn't working properly I start to wonder why I haven't switched to a different software altogether.

November 25, 2023

### "Fundamental but lacking"

November 12, 2016

3.0

I was so excited to use this software. It completely ties to our financial reporting in Quicken and therefore is very appealing to use. The issue is in the actual function of the rental piece. It does not allow easy adjustment to tenant accounts for issues. Would be good for a FEW rentals. It does not allow tracking of notes regarding tenants or tracking of service needed. I also had hoped it had a function that could allow customers to make payments thru it.

Pros

Ties to financial. Allows entry of all tenant information for contact and lease terms.

Cons

Would be better if the tenant was also then listed as a payee so you would not get two different entries for one tenant when you do an entry in the checkbook vs running it thru the rental program which only allows for entry of rents. You cannot enter a payment for garbage for example. Any entry causes the rent due date to advance so you will be entering rent on 11/5/2016 for example and the default will come up 2/2017 for example.

### "Quicken's Come a Long Way! "

April 4, 2018

4.0

Being able to access the software remotely (finally!) is a huge win.

Pros

You can quickly track investments, keep your portfolio in check and import a variety of different types of transactions. This helps you get up and running quickly, especially when you're moving from another system.

Cons

There are still some limitations with Quicken that have been around for quite a while. It would be nice to have a warning when you're getting "close" to spending through your budget, but that's not a core function of the system. Small tweaks could make this platform much more user friendly and useful!

### "Quicken - For personal and Small Business"

July 2, 2018

4.0

Sometimes there is no option to place a liability into a separate area - My car loan was part of my credit union accounts. When I tried to download the details from my credit union, I placed it in a credit card item and I had to use it that way. I would like more flexibility to place things in areas when my mind thinks they should go. Perhaps it is not right but I don't know.

Pros

I have a continuous history of my income and expenses, I can easily use the details for tax purposes. At a glance, I see my liabilities and expenses, and balances.

Cons

There is not enough undo options on some of the things I do and I delete things when I don't mean to do so.

December 13, 2017

4.0

Pros

Ability to get reports.. plus the ability to generate you own. I often use the same reports and i can save my own

The side bar seems to get in the way. I feel as if I am sometime chasing it to work in my register.

### "Quicken is useful for corporate and personal finance"

April 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

I find Quicken useful in several different settings, including corporate and personal finance. I most like that Quicken gives me an at-a-glance look at how we're doing and what we need to work on as an organization.

Cons

I least like that to get these at-a-glance reports, there's a lot of setup involved.

### "Longtime user of Quicken"

February 26, 2020

4.0

Poweful accounting software with a very strong reputation.

Pros

Quicken has been around for a very long time and stands as a reputable data/budgeting software. it has great ability to output onto various formats which I like

Cons

Not easy to use, and can be somewhat proprietary. I find the user interface not as seamless as I would like however since I've been using it for so long, I've gotten accustomed to its user design

February 25, 2018

Relatively easy to enter, categorize, track and report on home finance data on your local workstation.

### "Family finances tackled at last!"

March 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that we can consolidate all of our banking, savings, business and credit card accounts into one location to categorize every expense. It downloads automatically at sign on so it's really limited on the amount of effort needed.

Cons

The memorized transaction function is a bit tricky to get used to. The software attempts to memorize transactions so you don't have to re-enter info on future transactions if similar type or same vedor so I do think it important to reverie ever transaction individually when accepting them into your register.

### "Easier to learn that Quickbooks but not as many features"

May 5, 2022

4.0

Works really well for keeping track of spending across multiple accounts and offers simple solutions for designating expenses.

Pros

I was able to easily import out multiple business accounts into Quicken, something I was not able to do with Quickbooks. Updating accounts is quick and easy too. I like the simple flagging option that allows me to mark a transaction for later investigation.

Cons

Will not generate a simple profit and loss statement based on accounts. I understand Quicken is meant more for personal, than business use, but it would still be a nice feature to have.

Switched from

[QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/)

Actually just added to Quickbooks to keep track of spending in a simpler more user friendly format.

### "Quicken"

June 11, 2020

4.0

It has helped us very much in the long run over the years to be able to keep an eye on our money.

Pros

It is a great program to use to track everything we do and compare to the bank statements. Nice to be able to find items and categorize as well.

Cons

There aren't a lot of things I don't like, I am not an expert in it, but most the things I have done have been pretty easy.

### "Quicken is good for home financial management"

May 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

Quicken is easy to use and has a good amount of funtions to see where you are financially are at any given time.

Cons

The automatic import function needs to be updated and re-vamped. Today's users want to have automatic importing of their account transactions into one place. Quicken requires you to login and use a password every time.

### "Do not use this software."

May 9, 2022

2.0

I did not like it (Intuit tainted it), consider using other personal finance softwares.

Pros

It had the capability to be a productive software, and it had a decent UI.

Cons

The pricing model is subscription based, the online syncing to bank accounts worked poorly and caused duplicate transactions and constant overwriting, and I could not use it any further than a week with good confidence.
