Senior Accounant Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing -cheap- accounting software" June 2, 2022 5.0 Great experience. Pros The software has a solid UI so it is easy to see where your money goes. Easy to use and practical. Great for small to medium businesses because it is not very expensive and has many features. Cons The interface can look a bit outdated to some, but al the information you need is there. In 1 place. Very convenient.

Volunteer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of use for a small business" February 12, 2024 5.0 Pros Quicken has a very user friendly platform that makes managing our accounting simple. Cons I can't think of anything that we do not like. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Home and Business 2018" March 10, 2018 2.0 When it worked, my finances were clear, I maintained a budget and knew where all my money was going. Pros The organizational abilities and reporting abilities are great. So many great features for home users and as well as for small business users. Cons Unfortunately, all the awesomeness of the features is outweighed by the fact the program doesn't work most of the time. Auto downloads constantly fail, accounts don't update, balances are constantly wrong. Really hard to get a handle on your finances this way. Not sure what happened, because up until about 2016 I had never had any issues with the software, then all of the sudden it began and has only gotten worse. It's practically unusable at this point for me at least. Very sad.... Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, but too many complex features" January 7, 2022 5.0 Generally very good, but the past few years it seems it takes longer to do the same operations. I think this might be due to the product having too many features for the average user. Pros Integration with all my online accounts is excellent. It also works well in conjunction with TurboTax. Cons The ease of use has gotten worse over the past few years. I am considering using another product or perhaps doing this online in the future. Reason for choosing Quicken A friend recommended it, so I tried it. I've used it for almost 20 years now. Review Source JG James G. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Has Been My Accounts Management Tool Since 2007" January 18, 2023 5.0 It helps with tax reporting and budgeting. Pros I like the account update feature. It saves me a lot of time in recording transactions. Cons Nothing really. It does the job and keeps my numerous accounts in order. Review Source RG Roger G. Property Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "USe it daily and have since the early 1990,s" June 7, 2017 4.0 Pros Puts all your finances in one place, updates all accounts with minimal keystrokes rather than having to go to each website yourself (Saving lots of time) works like an on-screen checkbook. See your net worth accounts and liabilities in one place. Navigation is easy as a click of the mouse. Cons Intuit, the author, recently sold Quicken to an Investment Group. When Microsoft dropped MS Money, Quicken became the Monopoly in the market. Now the new company made some changes and icons are different, some screens have pop-up windows that don't work right, and the internet is full of complaints from long time users. Most of the glitches I found are minor, but changes were made so that everyone had to renew in-order to be able to access all your accounts online with Quicken, a strategy they may use to continually force upgrades and fees! Watch for this. This is what happens when someone sees a chance to capitalize on a monopoly! Review Source JD Joseph D. President Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good bang for the buck for basic accounting " January 14, 2018 4.0 Smaller businesses with less than 30 rentals, should be able to use this software and compensate for te deficiencies with desktop software like excel. This would be a very cost effective way of having computerized check register and reporting while minimizing software costs. Pros Integration with almost every bank to download transactions automatically makes me confident that we will not miss any transaction and keeps me updated on our balances on a daily basis. Categories and Tags are very powerful and flexible tools that allow you to custom configure how you use the software and define your reporting requirements. Cons Other than a good transaction register (with categories & Tags) , the program lacks many needed features for managing a rental business. The rental aspect is almost non-existaent. Review Source Andre C. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for investment management" October 9, 2020 4.0 Quickbooks is really the kid on the block that is easy to have clients use for budgeting and investment management. Pros Investment management is a challenge if you are self-managing your investment portfolio but Quicken makes this easy. Easy to make entries, Flexible reporting Cons No ticker bar or quick glance investments, 3rd party integration not that flexible, no mileage management Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Professor Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Domestic Partnership Tool" February 23, 2022 5.0 My partner and I use Quicken to keep track of our individual and shared finances. We live together and share household expenses, but also have personal expenses and assets that we prefer to keep track of separately. Pros Ability to itemize and categorize revenue and expenses and assign them to a particular person. Ability to sync with bank accounts and investment accounts. Cons When printing a financial statement, the "total" of a category (ie. personal care expenses) are listed before the breakdown of that total. Maybe that is typical for professional statements, but it took me a bit to get used to that format. Review Source BD Brittany D. Manager Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product" July 27, 2021 4.0 Overall I would highly recommend the use of this system for a small business or individual who needs a little help with their budgeting or accounting. It is very easy to use and has a lot of features that are very useful on the day to day. Pros Quicken is a great program that makes budgeting and account easy and printing checks is super convenient and easy. I really liked how simple it is to print a check and edit or void anything that may have printed incorrectly. Reviewing transactions and the ledger is also very straight forward and easy. Works great for creating budgets as well. Cons Overall I think this is a really great product but one downside I would say is I would sometimes have problems when running a reconciliation in our accounts that wouldn't always clear things properly. The other downside is we cannot have our accountant access the account remotely to review things for us whereas other systems allow for that option which is very convenient. Review Source PJ Patrick J. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Desktop Accounting Software" March 28, 2020 5.0 That software allows you to back up in the cloud and your computer. It has all the special effects at Quickbooks. Pros Ease of use and it allows you to add multiple businesses or personal accounts. The price is what it should be for accounting software. Excellent Support, I used the support two times and was very impressed with the customer service. Cons No way that I know of to recover the password vault.

Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) The price, it's significantly less than most competitors. Review Source LJ Leslie J. COO Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product" August 12, 2021 4.0 Good product but maybe could be better on cloud storage. Pros Easy to use on a day in day out basis. THe app is good. Cons Not the easiest when you are changing machines. I have used the program for a few years now and changed laptops and it is not easy to import old data. Review Source DM Dickson M. Cyber security Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Quicken review" December 9, 2022 5.0 My overall experience has been quite good. It is beneficial for tax preparation but most crucial for managing personal funds. Pros I really enjoy how simple it is to use and manage my money. I had anticipated that it would take some time to comprehend, but it is simple and easy Cons It is difficult to get an investment account's information back on track and right if you make a mistake. Review Source JW Justin W. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is easy to use" June 14, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to use platform for keeping track of personal finance. Cons Takes a little bit to get your views the way you want them and the process of labeling charges into correct categories is a bit manual.

Pros I have been using quickens for a very long time, it works for my needs. I run a simple company and do not use many of the features that are provided. The one feature that I do like the most is being able to download from the bank to the program to make sure I have the correct balance. However, when you send out a check sometimes via the bank check program it may post twice when written then when cashed. Just something to keep in mind. It also works for when I need to start and complete my taxes. Cons When you send out a check sometimes via the bank check program it may post twice when written then when cashed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Subscrption Only - Goodbuy Quicken" October 25, 2019 3.0 Basic checkbook maintenance is good. All the "whistles and bells" added are not worth the cost. Pros Easy to use Cons Used Quicken for 20 years for only Checkbook management - latest versions REQUIRES an annual payment for services not used. Per Quicken Support - while the software is usable without renewing, you cannot remove the full side banner (top to bottom screen) and banner on the top that insists you renew, renew, renew. This is so irritating I switched software. If you are looking for a simple tool to just manage your checkbook QUICKEN is NOT it. Review Source DG David G. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken need to be online not desktop based " December 10, 2022 3.0 I have been using it for 20 years. I have looked at other products. Just not as I need it v Pros I trakes all my finances personal and business. Cons Not being able to use quicken anywhere is a big drawback today bYou need to use it on a Windows Computer. Thier app is useless. Review Source TA Tina A. Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "100% UNRELIABLE - prepare for lost data and hours of rework" June 12, 2018 1.0 if you are considering purchasing this software, run like the wind Pros I like that I can create different accounts and it's somewhat easy to do searches and run reports for my rental expenses. I was happy with the software for about the 1st month I had it. Cons This is hands down, the most buggy software I've ever used. I use the mobile app to input receipts and then I sync with the desktop.. only I find myself on the phone with Quicken support almost every single time I use it because it won't sync to the cloud properly. Sometimes I get errors, other times, not all the receipts transfer over and they often have to reset my cloud which deletes hours worth of work i've put in. What's the best thing EVER??? Trying to find what data was deleted and starting all over again... yeah, my worst freakin fear. This software is EXACTLY my worst fear. completly 100% unreliable. I would go to a competitor in an instant if I could find an alternative and I look all the time. Maybe Neatworks. Review Source JF Jonny F. CTO Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fab on PC, run the PC version on the Mac, dumbed down online" January 31, 2020 5.0 The PC version of quicken is fully featured, and our accountant, tax professional, and finance person all like it, can use it, understand it, and can handle files / exports made with it. For a while we switched to Mac and the only people who did not switch were the finance people because of PC Quicken. With some 3rd party help we had the PC version running on the Mac. Every couple of years the support for connecting to banks and maybe file formats change, and we seem to have to update the PC version. We tried the on-line version, execs in the company asked for on-line access to view the reports etc. The capabilities of the on-line system were very reduced, not sufficient for our finance team. Pros Fully features on the PC. with excellent sync with bank accounts and other financial systems, payroll etc. The online system is well priced. Cons The Mac version is not fully featured. The online version is very simplified. Every couple of years for the PC version they drop support for communications to bank accounts (and file format?) so you need to buy the latest one again. Reason for choosing Quicken Our finance person/s was used to it, and accountant could accept the files. Review Source MH Mahlon H. Owner Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is a great software for basic accounting " October 18, 2023 4.0 We use this for accounting for our small private school. It works well but in this situation since we don't make invoices and need the features that Quickbooks offers. Pros It is a very basic easy to use software. Cons It works great for basic use but lacks many features of Quickbooks if you need them Review Source CP Claudia P. Technical Writer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for tracking your financial status, but needs improvement" February 17, 2018 4.0 Pros I've been using Quicken since 1988, so I'm very familiar with it. You can easily track checking, credit card and savings accounts. Quicken partners with thousands of banks and financial institutions so you can download your activity rather than having to manually enter it. It makes balancing your checkbook a breeze! It is rare for it to not reconcile correctly, and when that happens, it is invariably a mistake I made. You can also use it to track investments, create budgets, run reports. I use the Home and Business version which lets me track business activity separately from personal activity. I keep track of my rental property, which makes it very easy to file a schedule C come tax time. It's been an invaluable tool for me over the years and has helped me meet my financial goals. Cons In the last several years, the quality of the software was an issue. Lots of annoying bugs and crashes. Fortunately the company is addressing these issues. Review Source EW Elizabeth W. CEO Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken vs Quickbooks" December 10, 2022 5.0 They obviously don't like supporting Quicken as much as they like supporting Quickbooks. Pros Quicken is simple, does everything I need to prepare for annual taxes, and not anywhere near as complex as Quickbooks. Cons Intuit shows more attention to big business, and doesn't have time for the little guy. Review Source CP Cheri P. Accountant Assistant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken is good for household or small accounts" December 2, 2022 5.0 Quicken is a good inexpensive software. I would recommend Quickbooks for large companies or for my capabilities. Pros It is easy to use and understand. It can make balancing your checkbook easy. You can view accounts from one person and see how much you've paid them. Cons You can easily delete items and have no idea what you did, so be sure to really pay attention and save your work often. You will want to do a backup every now and then in case you lose something accidentally. Review Source HE Harlan E. Practice Administrator Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken works for a smaller office or business" January 5, 2021 5.0 Overall I like Quicken... it has done its job albeit more expensively than before Pros Quicken allows me to keep track of income and expenditures with a small learning curve Cons I have used Quicken for many years and what I dislike the most is that I can no longer purchase the software outright, without Intuit having their claws into my wallet. You have to purchase the seat for the software every couple of years, where before you didnt. You only had to upgrade, if the software had new features that you wanted Reason for choosing Quicken Because Quicken became the standard Review Source BS Brian S. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Much better than balancing checkbooks" August 8, 2019 5.0 One of my essential apps Pros I love this software pulling in transactions from my banking and credit accounts online. Each time a transaction is entered into the register I categorize it and add notes. It makes it so easy to go back and search for specific transactions and run reports. I can;t tell you how much time and hassle this software saves me. Besides that, I never have to manually balance a checkbook again! Cons I hate the upgrade offer popups that seem to appear about once a week. Oh, also the mobile version of the app doesn't work well for me.
