It is a great value. Pros I liked that I could track both my personal and business expenses. I chose the version where I could create invoices for my business and even track my investment accounts. Cons I have used this software for many years and my data from previous versions didn't transfer over to some of the upgrades. Reason for choosing Quicken It fit all my needs and fit my budget. Review Source Dan F. Senior Systems Architect Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don't bother" January 29, 2019 1.0 Pros It is relatively cheap, if you can find it on sale, and has a few good features for property managers including the ability to automatically send invoices. You also get all the typical features of Quicken, like the ability to track your personal finances, connect all your banks and investment accounts, download statements, etc. I've been using Quicken for years and years and it's definitely the most important program I own and need and I hate pretty much everything about it. Cons Quicken, by now, is the most bloated piece of software in the history of the world. There are dialogs and sections of this app that were likely last touched when Reagan was present. It's a crazy amalgamation of features added over time. When using the app, doing even the most basic tasks kicks off a round of screen refreshes, flashes and such. No clue why it does that, but the whole thing desperately needs an overhaul.

DIRECTOR Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is OK but not the end-all solution" January 30, 2024 5.0 Quicken keeps me organized for personal use but there are always additional steps when it comes to business. I use it for two small businesses, both of which require sending the transactions and reports from Quicken to external accountants. This program is best for individual use, and managing your own transactions unrelated to owning any business. Pros I like the ability to organize and ease of us. I like the connectivity to other websites, accessibility from many platforms, and simply layout. Quicken is ideal for transaction management. Cons Quicken provides information but generating taxes, tracking capital equipment, really anything beyond the bare bones - is another investment in different software or an accountant. Reason for choosing Quicken Already familiar with it from previous job experience. Review Source Daniel F. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "stay up to date quickly with quicken" March 3, 2021 5.0 We first started using this back in 2003. we have used the different versions over time as they upgrade. It is great because our account is well versed in the program, and therefore it saves us time and money to do the year-end reports. Pros This program is very versatile. Our account appreciates the account version that we can send him to do our year ends or PPP. It saves from manually recording checks into the register, allows us to split receipts, and split how we pay. the program is easy to use, and our bookkeeper can find online help or customer service help quickly and accurately. This is a program that is worth the money, and you won't switch because the years build off of each other. Cons It takes a little time to understand how it works. You need to really pay attention to how you set your program up and enter the data to distinguish between vendors, clients, etc., overall a solid program accepted in the industry.

Cons There is little that I dislike about it. Review Source Aaron S. Senior Science Teacher Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Unable to purchase in Canada - Postal Code issue" November 26, 2022 1.0 If Quicken can't get something as simple as postal code v/s zip code correct when a new customer is trying to purchase, how can I trust them with my banking information? Pros Customer service was prompt and really tried to help me with my purchasing issue. Cons It is impossible to purchase this product in Canada. I spent well over an hour (~50min with customer service - both through chat and a personal phone call) trying to purchase. Every solution lead me back to the issue that when I tried to submit my order, the purchasing page forced me to enter a zip code, with no option for a postal code. I created an account with my Canadian address, downloaded the software, cleared my cache and cookies, restarted my computer, worked with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] from customer support to approach the purchasing page from various links and browsers, nothing would allow me to purchase the software. If Quicken can't get something as simple as postal code v/s zip code correct when a new customer is trying to purchase, how can I trust them with my banking information? Reason for choosing Quicken Ultimately I did not. I will be looking for an alternative. If Quicken can't get something as simple as postal code v/s zip code correct when a new customer is trying to purchase, how can I trust them with my banking information? Review Source TC Thomas C. President Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worst Software Package I know - DON'T BUY IT!" March 29, 2024 1.0 This is the worst software and, as far as I can tell, none of their staff are interested in helping, nor are they anything other than simpletons without knowledge of their product. STAY AWAY. Pros relatively inexpensive as compared to other options. Cons DOES NOT WORK. Even when I did all it asked and upgraded - it is not able to use multiple files I provide. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) It appeared Quicken would be better at generating reports and doing basic accounting. Review Source DE Dena E. Owner/operator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is great for Finances" December 7, 2022 4.0 Pros Being able to keep up with my finances on a daily basis. Also being able to download to my different bank accounts. Cons Very occasionally, it changes my balances for no reason. Must be a glitch. Review Source PH Phil H. Principal Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Serious improvement is only possible with serious measurement" September 24, 2020 5.0 These days we all have multiple accounts: checking, savings, investing, real estate, retirement, etc. All these accounts are necessary in today's world, however, keeping track of them all is a serious problem. Quicken is a tool that will bring all of these accounts into a single dashboard and help you stay on top of all the changes. While Quicken is an older piece of software and will probably never see a full rewrite to make it more modern, it is the only option for serious personal finance and it works well enough to get the job done. Pros It allows me to stay on top of my finances by downloading transactions from all my accounts into a single dashboard. It allows me to answer any question I have about my finances. Cons It is slow! Simple tasks like reconciling an account can be aggravating as the hourglass icon comes up way more often then it should for a simple task. I have run this on a modern Intel Core i7 processor and it is still a dog. You definitely need to be patient with this software. Reason for choosing Quicken Mint has very limited functionality. It gives you a decent overview and could be useful for those with basic personal finance needs. Mint is like the Ford Fiesta and Quicken is the F-150. Review Source MP Michael P. Attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Why can't we sync between computers?" August 5, 2023 5.0 You can't sync Pros Quicken is easy to use and updating from a previous version went well. Cons It drives me crazy that you can't sync information between computers. I'm no expert, but I can't see why you can't have information from the Quicken cloud update information on the computer.I use Quicken at work and at home. If I could just sync information that I added at home to my work computer and vice versa, it would be perfect.I don't know why this feature can't be added. Review Source BQ Barry Q. Retired Ranching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Analyzing your investments" April 5, 2022 1.0 Great until Placeholder entries were added. Pros Great for managing bank accounts and credit card accounts. Cons There needs to be a way to stop Placeholder entries. I check my own investment accounts an like to make corrections. Placeholder entries make it very difficult to correct input errors. If you input income for an investment account and use the reinvest action, the investment performance report can't be used. The amount is added and subtracted for the report. To remove cash from an account, three or more actions (XOU, Withdraw and Withdrawx) can be used. Unfortunately, some reports only have one of these actions and that hasn't been used in the database. Review Source mH melissa H.

THEY SHOULD ADVERTISE IF YOU DO NOT PURCHACE THE MEMBERSHIP THEY WILL MAKE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE SOFTWARE NOT USER FRIENDLY. IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS LIKE MINE THAT YOU DO NOT INTEND TO DOWNLOAD INFORMATION FROM ONLINE....YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER A DIFFERENT PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY ARE TAKING UP YOUR SCREEN SPACE WITH ADVERTISEMENTS. Pros I HAVE BEEN A QUICKEN USER (MOSTLY 2004 VERSION)FOR OVER 21 YEARS. I FINALLY SAID I SHOULD UPDATE MY QUICKEN PROGRAM. THAT BEING SAID I UPDATED TO 2019 VERSION. THE PROGRAM IS WHAT I EXPECTED TILL THE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP RAN OUT THAT THEY GIVE YOU FOR PURCHACING THE PROGRAM. I DO NOT NEED ANY DOWNLOADS FROM BANKS ETC. I ENTER ALL MY INFORMATION MANUALLY. THEY SAY YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHACE ANY ADDITIONAL MEMBERSHIP IF YOU WANT TO ENTER MANUALLY. Cons THEY TAKE UP YOUR AVAILABLE SCREEN SPACE WITH A LARGE BANNER ADVERTISING TO RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP. SO NOW YOU CANNOT USE THE SCREEN SPACE AND SEE YOUR BALANCES AND OTHER INFORMATION EASILY. MEMBERSHIP IS $89 A YEAR. THAT IS A HEAVY COST TO PAY TO REMOVE THEIR ADVERTISEMENT FROM MY SCREEN!!!!

Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Keep it SIMPLE Get it Done " September 18, 2023 4.0 Easy to use, simplified and better that QuickBooks when it comes to smaller businesses. Pros Quicken has everything needs for a small business. You won't get confused with unnecessary tabs and areas and you will find evet daily that is needed to track your business finances from cost to profit Cons If you are a mid or larger size business, quicken is not for you. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Quicken Ease of use and exact features needed, no more no less. Review Source WP Wayne P. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is Easier than Quickbooks" February 2, 2023 5.0 I am able to track my business income and expenses with ease. Pros The program is user friendly and can be used for home, business, or rental accounting. The program is frequently updated and current. Cons It is not a double entry program and items can be too easily erased and cause problems recovering when needed. Reason for choosing Quicken Ease of use. Review Source Nina B. Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Rental Property Manager works some of the time" October 29, 2019 4.0 I've been using this program for over 10 years and while it it not perfect it is better than nothing. I would like the rental part to be easier and more reliable to use. I like that you can integrate Zillow estimates and values to properties. Pros I liked that it integrates all my accounts and I can track rentals, home and business at the same time. Reports are fairly accurate and are very useful for accounting and tracking purposes. Cons Has bugs that I cannot figure out. Sometimes the transfers don't ever show up and the accounts get messed up. Hard to track rents in the format that is available. I can't figure out how to enter and keep all reconciled the way they want you to do it. Review Source JB Joseph B. President Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can get it done" September 13, 2023 4.0 Generally, a well-maintained piece of software, though from time to time features break and sometimes it takes a while for the bugs to get addressed. Pros Quicken is better suited for personal use, but we have been using it for our company for over a decade and it does what we need. Cons Payroll options are expensive, and not all the options are available. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Reason for choosing Quicken Less expensive Review Source JP Jen P. rental manager Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great for general accounting..." February 13, 2017 2.0 We have 65+ rental properties. I had waited to enter them into the rental property part until I worked out the kinks of the accounting part. I had issues with bank connectivity and then mobile sync was not working properly. After I got that fixed, I decided that in January I would start entering in my tenant's info. Here are my problems: 1. Most of our houses are section 8 which means 2 checks and NO, you can not just have 1 housing payment that you split into your houses and have those apply to your tenants. you HAVE TO MAKE A SEPARATE TENANT for EACH house labeled section 8 (or what ever) and house number or something to uniquely identify it. PAINFUL!!!!!!! 2. Lets say you have an invoice from Vendor A and they have invoiced you for 3 properties. You have to put the invoice on the tenant side (each invoice to each house) then when you go to pay Vendor A- it prints multiple checks. Not just one check or an option to pay several invoices for vendor A. THAT IS CRAZY!!! (For me it was going to print 10 checks to the same vendor. I then went to the banking side and made a check, tagging each property which then printed one check but the system did not enter the charges into the tenants side. So you need to do double entry. WHO HAS TIME FOR THAT? I called customer service-super nice but spent SEVERAL hours trying to get it figured out. They ended up saying how terrible it was. 3. There are no useful reports. Bottom Line: I ended up going with a property management software. I interviewed Builidium, Appfolio, and a few others. Expensive but hopefully it will help me out in the long run. Anything is better than this. Pros easy to change the payee/category/tag Cons see above Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Admin Asst Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is great" March 10, 2021 4.0 It has been massively helpful with personal finance and keeping track of bank account balances. Pros I like Quicken for how it's fairly easy to set things up. I prefer manual sync since I prefer creating payees on my own, but it gives me a pretty good view of my expenses and the stocks I have. Cons I'm not a fan of the subscription pricing, but to their credit Quicken did credit me a discount when I asked them after initially purchasing the software without one. I do wish the budgeting was a bit better as it's not perfect, and sometimes I feel like the direct bank sync can be a bit wonky when it comes to sharing information. Review Source SR Sharon R. owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Business malpractice" March 13, 2023 3.0 poor Pros Able to keep tax records weekly for my small business. Cons Quicken arbitrarily changed the rules after purchasing this software. I have used this software for 8 years and purchased the program in 2016. After purchasing a new computer this week, and being unable to transfer my program to it, I was told I had to now pay for a yearly subscription of $60/year. Initially, I was given the option of purchase vs subscription and chose purchase. I now am told I have to pay for subscription yearly. If I had known this at the intial purchase time, I would have chosen another software or set up my own on excell. This is poor business practice by this company and I would never recommend them to anyone. I was never notified of any changes with my initial purchase. This would be considered malpractice by most other businesses. They should honor past agreements.

April 13, 2022 5.0 Pros It's desktop software and runs extremely fast and can easily have many different windows open. Cons The iOS mobile sync could be faster/better. Review Source RH Randy H. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is Best Desktop based Home financial software" July 22, 2021 5.0 I have used Quicken for portfolio and asset management for over 20 years. The software has improved with new technology and returns excellent value. Pros Its able to link to and download complicated financial transactions, maintain their values, shares owned from most major institutions. It links to your accounts with most major bank and credit card companies. It also allows non-online assets ans liabilities to be tracked. Their reporting shows net worth statements, cash flow statement and other reports suitable to track a large and complex portfolio of assets. Cons Links to some institutions can be damaged due to changing security needs. Their support in improving those links is excellent. Reason for choosing Quicken Quicken provides far better value than Excel, paper docs or Mint. Review Source TP Tim P. Principal Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Potential as a great product that suffers from poor quality" December 7, 2018 1.0 Quicken for Business has no real peers on the market. There are certainly much better SMB accounting packages, there are better investment packages and better rental property packages, but Quicken appears to be the only one that consolidates all these functions into one. This used to be a quality package with minor bugs. Since being spun off, the management has successfully converted this from a typical "license and download" software to an annual subscription service, meaning you have to continually pay to be able to use the software. They also appear to have changed something in the QA process, as it has become more common for updates to fix one thing and break two more. Still, the basis is there for this to be a great product if they can ever solve the bad development issues. Pros For a small business or and individual with rental properties, this product has a full set of features that, if working properly, could really help. Interface is easy to use. Most banking and investment services can be accessed to easily download and reconcile accounts. Cons Very, very buggy. Some features just seem to automatically cause the system to crash. It seems way too often that the data file becomes corrupted. Recently changed to a subscription model, so you can't really keep a stable release. Review Source TN Thandile N. Freelancer Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Extraordinary for following your financial status, all around incredible." April 8, 2021 5.0 Exceptional for getting your records all together and starting to see elevated perspective where you and your money is. I could have done without the evaporated features before my last update yet i'm adequate now. It's one of my essential applications! Pros It's a direct mechanical assembly to use for most business structures fit for managing trades, taking everything into account, and repeat. It is the best product (in my opinion) to follow records, adventures and business pay/expenses in all cases spot and on your work region rather than having that information simply on the web. Having the option to see each record in one spot truly permits you to all the more likely control your funds and spending plan. It's absolutely the best. Cons What I have gotten extremely astounded with is the marking in and my intuit ID. At whatever point the systems logs me out, for no good reason, whenever I log back in, it just doesn't take me to my standard page, it makes another page and new record for me. It's terrifying and it has been occurring even more once in a while. In like manner, I do feel the spending section of the application could use some work. I genuinely cherished it as a matter of first importance, however at this point it is fairly a desolation to use and have not used it since.
