Owner, photographer Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best tool for business and personal accounting and budgeting" January 10, 2022 5.0 Pros I love that this integrates with just about every bank, credit card, and financial website out there. It makes it easy to see your overall financial picture. I use Quicken for my business and for my personal finances. You really can’t beat it if you are trying to take control of your money. Cons It’s not the cheapest solution out there. It integrates with most financial websites but every now and then, it doesn’t play well with an account and it’s very painful working through the process of troubleshooting and fixing the issue.

President Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I've been using Quicken since 5.5" floppies" May 6, 2023 5.0 I'm very happy with Quicken and all it's features. A Godsave at Tax Time! Pros It is like filling in your check book log Cons Expense is growing, no larger discounts for longtime and returning customers. Review Source MB MARK B. Application Developer Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great financial tool! I would be lost without it!" April 22, 2021 5.0 I love this tool and use it daily to track all of my finances. i would be lost without it! Pros I love how quicken puts all of your financial companies all in one view. The biggest reason i switched from Yodlee was the fact you could add recurring future dated transactions. Many financial tracking tools do not have this. This was a make or break feature for me, as I like to see exactly how much money i will have in the bank in 30,60, 90 etc.. days in the future. Quicken does this, and does it wonderfully! Cons The only con I can think of is there are too many features. I am by no means a power user, and just use the basic transaction features. I do not use any of the budgeting tools or other such things, but I am sure they are very useful to others. It would be nice to see a simple mode that turned off many of those features if you are not using them Review Source DY David Y. IT Directors Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Product Whose Time Has Passed" March 28, 2019 5.0 Pros Quicken for more than a decade has been "the" standard for personal financial management and I used it for many years to track my families spending habits, transactions, retirement and more. It's "the" gold standard for anyone looking to track their financial health. Cons Multiple online products, including Mint which is also owned by Intuit that makes Quicken, covers 90% of the features/functions that you would normally run on your computer. For those that don't want to trust their information to such web/cloud services then Quicken still remains a viable option. However, in recent years Quicken has begun to scale back on services like Bill Pay as banks and other online services take over. I don't think Quicken is going away any time soon, but it's very clear that it's time has passed and it's only a matter of time until Intuit makes the decision to retire the software.

Outreach Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Financial advisor at home" June 24, 2022 5.0 It's definitely a program for those that want to financially become stable and have emergency money for the future. Not only that, it allows one to see how much income they're having versus their spending budget. Pros I love how I can allocate and precisely place all my bills and financial endeavors and categories that will project my budget to allow me to save money Cons Didn't like how it told some of my future payments that allocated my interest for my car payments which made me want to lower my APR for the future investments that I had Review Source Dan M. President CEO Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken adds up to be a winner" November 23, 2021 5.0 I love finding past spending and summarizing my use of different vendors Pros Simplicity of use. It is set up for data entry just like a check book. Cons That its a subscription base service but for those who need the occasional tech support its a win win Review Source DP Diane P. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user for ease and price" October 7, 2022 5.0 Very helpful and saves time for my business, keeping me informed of bank account status. Pros I have been using Quicken for personal and small business use for 20 years. It is very easy to use, easier than QuickBooks, and is reasonably priced. I can keep up with bank accounts automatically updated and create helpful reports. Cons Glitches in downloads with bank sometimes mess up register Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Quicken Prior experience, ease of use, cost Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Personal Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software but poor customer support for Canadians" June 12, 2023 3.0 Poor. On-going yearly subscription keeps going up significantly. Have to look for another software to replace it. Pros Ease of use. Easy to download data from bank sites. Cons Very poor customer support. Had to use US number to call and had to pay a big bill. Very poorly supported for Canadians. Reason for choosing Quicken Because I first started using it when it had just designed their first version in DOS. Review Source GN Greg N. Computer Consultant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Online BillPay is not functional" February 9, 2019 2.0 If they resolve the BillPay problem, or if you confirm your bank will accept payment from Quicken through their DirectConnect feature, then the subscription/2019 version should be similar or slightly better than earlier versions. If you need BillPay, DO NOT UPGRADE Quicken until you can confirm they have patched their software to correct this apparent bug. Pros Subscription/2019 version is similar to older versions. Tracks funds easily. Intuitive money management. Allows download/sync with checking, savings, credit card, and investment accounts. Subscription model is expensive, but will be offset by no longer having to pay monthly charges for BillPay. Cons Requires "upgrade" to 2019 version. Requires deletion of old BillPay account and manual re-entry of all payee and account info during upgrade. As of 2/9/19 BillPay is not functional. Have been waiting since 1/6/19 for account activation, so can still not pay bills through quicken using the subscription version I am paying for. Many other customers with same complaint. Support says still trying to resolve similar tickets from customers from December 2018. Review Source EN Emerson N. President/Owner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Have used it for years, still liking it!" February 13, 2021 4.0 Good, easy tool to track your money, some technical issues with downloading. Pros Quicken quickly and efficiently tracks all my spending, earning and investments, and I have been able to link most of my accounts so it does it automatically. Cons Not all accounts can be linked, especially not international ones. And occasionally it has brought in duplicate transactions which are a nightmare to reconcile. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Quicken automates the interface with my banks and investment firms, so I don't have to maintain a bunch of different spreadsheets - and it gives me a fast, easy dashboard to keep it updated and see where I stand at a glance. Review Source LS Lynn S. Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Don't give up - it's probably worth it. " September 25, 2020 4.0 I had used many different types of accounting software for small and large businesses. So when I wanted a software program for my own purposes, and to grow from our personal finances into a small side business, I expected to use Quickbooks because I was familiar. Someone recommended Quicken. I tried to set it up 3 times in a free trial period, but it seemed very difficult, so I let it slide. One slow day, I persevered and completed the set up. Thank goodness I did. Once the set up is complete, the functioning is so much smoother and easier than Quickbooks was for my purposes. I'm so glad I didn't give up. I am saving time and money by using Quicken now. Well worth the effort in the set up. Pros The functionality has impressed me. It's bill pay feature is better than I had anticipated, and it's layout and easy viewing is making it one of my new favorite accounting software programs - and I've had many. I didn't think I would want to stray from Quickbooks, but 3 months in and I am thinking I may not want to ever go back. Correction.... I am thinking I may not ever NEED to go back. Cons I was a little overwhelmed in the set up - which is why I set up my accounts in the free trial 3 times and let it sit for months. It seemed too daunting and I was scared it would be way too complex and difficult to navigate. I just didn't give it chance. Once you get past the start, it's way easier, I believe, than Quickbooks. Simpler, so it may not be for everyone, but it is for my purposes. Reason for choosing Quicken Eventually....ease of use. Very user friendly after the initial set up. Review Source Dan M. President CEO Executive Office Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quicken Adds Up" November 3, 2022 5.0 Tax and expense accounting is a breeze!! Pros I upgrade to the latest Quicken Deluxe software a year ago. As a long time user I have found Quicken to be incredibly easy to learn and use by myself and my staff. Quick report functions help me with tax preparation. I love the ease of finding past expenses when a return is necessary. Cons I wish it was able to be owned outright instead of a subscription. But the software will continue to work on the local installed computer but will not be able to be reinstalled on another. Reason for choosing Quicken Ease of use, and product loyalty Review Source DP Donna P. VP Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is Easy" September 29, 2022 5.0 Print checks, reconciling bank accounts Pros Very easy to use and train new employees on its use. Cons All the different upgrades and customer support. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing Quicken Did not need software that detailed Review Source JS John S. Homeowner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data loss after update" April 11, 2023 1.0 Up until my purchase last year, Quicken served me well. Pros I have used Quicken for 20+ years for personal and business needs. After my 2006 Mac crashed, I bought a new 2022 MacBook Pro and installed the latest version of Quicken. I spent considerable time setting up accounts, bank imports and entering data for the year 2021, and for one reason or another did not enter any new data after tax day 2022. On opening the program today, I installed the most recent update, as one would usually do, after which, I discovered that all my newly entered financial data on this brand new laptop and newly installed program no longer existed. I praise the technical support team for at least attempting, but failing, to help me.The checkbook feature of Quicken for Mac 2007 that this awful program replaced was bullet proof and never failed me in the many years I had used it until the computer itself died. I do not trust that this couldn't happen again, so I am going to switch to a simpler checkbook accounting system that does not nickle and dime you with "membership" fees. Be warned that running their update could cost you. Cons That I lost precious data that technical support was unable to retrieve. Review Source GG Gerardo G. Controller Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great cash management tool" July 14, 2022 5.0 I used Microsoft Money for years and by far this is a much better product than what MsMoney was, I highly recommend it. Pros I use it daily to reconcile my bank accounts and it is done just by downloading the bank's transactions, I use it a lot for writing cheques. Cons Quicken often has issue connecting automatically to the financial institutions, therefore I prefer to manually download the transactions which is don in just a few seconds. Review Source DA Doug A. The Boss Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "have to hold your nose to deal with thieving Intuit (maker of quicken)" August 4, 2020 4.0 it sucks; see the cons. Pros works most of the time but not always as upgrades have frequently broke my configured reports Cons they changed to a subscription service a couple years ago and force you to pay every year when I (and millions of other users) were perfectly content with the software that we already paid them for. While I hated that they were extorting a fee from me I almost got taken by them again when I went to downgrade my service to the lowest level. Their order form online starts the subscription the day you do the downgrade rather than starting it after my existing, already paid, subscription ends (which results in them stealing another month of fees from me). I hate them but as my title suggests; I put up with them because there is no other product that does what it does as well. Review Source CH Cheryl H. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Personal Bookkeeping Software" April 25, 2021 5.0 I really love using Quicken. I would definitely recommend it for use for personal bookkeeping. Pros Quicken is very, very easy to use. It is great for bookkeeping for personal accounts. The basic Quicken does not track debt and investments, so if you want to do that you have to upgrade to the more expensive one. Cons This software cannot really be used for business use. Also, I used to be able to buy the CD and install it on my computer and use it for 3 or 4 years. Now you have to pay a yearly fee to use the software. Also, when I bought the CD I could keep up with my loans and investments. Now you have to pay quite a bit more to do that. Reason for choosing Quicken It was a long, long time ago when I decided to use Quicken. I am glad I did not use Microsoft Money because I don't believe they even make it anymore. Review Source BBS Brother Bernard S. RC Monk, Clinical Psychologist, Doctor of Natural Medicine Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Haven't Got Time for the Pain - of Bookkeeping" October 11, 2022 5.0 I've used Quicken for over thirty years. It's a great stress manager because of the ease of use and knowing that everything gets recorded Pros The feature I like most is the fact that Quicken downloads data from bank accounts and credit cards into the computer with ease. I also like the fact that you can create a financial report with a few keystrokes. Cons Can't think of anything. -- which is a blessing. Review Source DC Deanna C. Managing Partner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dissatisfied user" February 27, 2023 1.0 I wish they would get this update fixed with all the banks and investment companies Pros The software is great when it works but it is so rare that when I do an update, that things update easily! It is awful! Cons One Stop Update just doesn't work. Every single time I update I run into problems with multiple accounts and it takes FOREVER to get stuff uploaded. Review Source AS Ali S. administrator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Updates have bugs" December 9, 2021 1.0 Until a couple of years ago when the company was sold, all was fine, after they keep sending updates and they have bugs and I cannot used the software. Their customer service, never pick up and wasted hours of my time trying to fix. SO, if your time has no value, then this software is good but if you are effected by downtime, do not but this software. Pros Used to like it when there no bugs in updates Cons the forced updates have bugs. I had to let the update done this morning before I use it. After update, I cannot print checks. it goes in a look back to printing checks. Have spent many hours trying to reach customer service but no one picks up. Reason for choosing Quicken Ease of use and no bugs but now it has bugs with updates Review Source DD Dennis D. CEO Executive Office Used the software for: 2+ years ### "20+ year user, now totally dissatisfied" February 21, 2022 1.0 Quicken just doesn't care about good customer service. It is now unusable, so I didn't renew my subscription. It's better to just do things manually than use software that doesn't work. I have gotten zero value out of it since November 2021. Pros updates of financial companies data (banks, credit card, Investing). Cons It now doesn't work with Schwab to download investing data. On or about 11/19/2021 when Schwab introduced an enhanced security process, which Quicken was totally unprepared for, Quicken just doesn't function with Schwab updates. I've spent 50 hours trying to get it to work and been on the phone 3 times (total of 6 hours) to no avail. Review Source JK James K. Treasurer Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Expensive " May 18, 2024 3.0 I have been using Quicken since the DOS days. I never had any problems until the new owners took over. The program has been very glitchy ever since. Since this is the only program out there that is not overkill for my small church, I am forced to use it. Pros The financial reports I can generate is very flexible. Cons The program is becoming very expensive to use. There are glitches with some of the updates which messes up the check register. Many problems with connecting with my Wells Fargo accounts. Review Source LB Linda B. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Have used for many years and with every upgrade keeps getting more bugs" May 2, 2017 2.0 Works well for personal finances - checking, savings, credit cards Pros Easy to learn, set up account. Can also use the software for my other businesses and personal stuff. Lots of ways to run reports that are useful. Nice to be able to download transactions from my bank and credit card accounts. Cons End of year tax schedules have bugs, Income reminders for rent payments do not show up correctly, Support is through a forum and they mainly tell you to run a file validation and that's it, Option to "Link a bill reminder to an online account" has never worked, New Zillow feature to asses value of property does not work. The only way I got good support was to pay another dollar for premium support and spent hours on the phone with a tech as he had me restore old backups trying to find a file that didn't cause the error... We never did find one that didn't cause the error. I am limping along with how it is working and currently looking for other software for my rental properties. Review Source DG David G. Owner Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not nearly as good as the Quicken of old before sold by Intuit" August 8, 2022 2.0 I have been using Quicken for decades and it was always wonderful software. Since Intuit sold out Quicken simply has far more bugs, does not work nearly as well as the prior versions. Its too late for me to switch, but if you are starting out in your own business, consider whatever alternatives out there are available before getting bogged down with this now very buggy product. Its the old cliche I guess, "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Of course this new company had to change everything up, in particular the reports function and now I find it misses transactions often enough that I don't trust the software for accuracy. Pros It does its job though not nearly as well as the older versions Cons Very, very buggy and far more difficult to use than the older version Review Source LG Luis G. Physician Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken has lost its way" February 9, 2018 1.0 Pros Quicken allows for standard management of finances and in the deluxe version has a host of features including budget management, investement management, and more. Cons The problem with Quicken in today's age is that it has passed through many corporate hands and the core problems have never been fully addressed. The system is glitchy. The connections to banks and financial institutions are sometimes inaccurate. But worst of all, the platform has changed to a subscription model where previously owning the software allowed for many years of use. After an "update" in the fall of 2017, my 2016 version stopped working. Online support stated it was a problem with the update and we needed to reinstall, but when we did we could no longer download our transactions. This was a scheming and greedy way for Quicken to try to push users into the 2018 subscription model. With that kind of treatment of it's customers, I'd recommend you go elsewhere.
