I can easily see where I am with my spending and adjusting new categories that reflect my business for tax prep is awesome! Pros Very easy to use, all accounts, personal and business are at my fingertips, updated easily and reconcil accounts in a flash! Cons I don't have anything that I can say I don't like, it's just very easy to use and makes my budgeting for work and play a breeze! Reason for choosing Quicken It had everything I was wanting included. Review Source RH Ruben H. Consultant Engineer Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Another all-time favorite agonizes in the mobile era" July 24, 2018 4.0 Quicken needs to move faster to mobile and cloud if it really wants to survive. 100% integration with QuickBooks, additional security features, support for more cloud backup providers are features that should be already available but are no show. Intuit own's Mint App is an example of how Quicken should be but, for some reason, they have decided to continue working on the same outdated software instead of relaunching. Still, Quicken is a big respected brand in the financial software world that continues to be one of my favorites. Pros \- A longtime runner with a big user fan base - The very familiar interface allows old users to upgrade without a steep learning curve - Very similar Mac and Windows version allows painless platform switch - Supports most banks and account syncing in The US - Does not require a monthly or annual fee Cons \- The interface is beginning to look a bit outdated compared to new mobile apps available for iOS and Android - No equivalent mobile version available - Cloud syncing and backup is limited and not easy to setup (dropbox required) - Version to version upgrades sometimes include little to no enough new features for the price (That's why some users are still using 5-8 years old versions) Review Source RS Ryan S. President Law Enforcement Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken could use some work." November 25, 2020 2.0 Quicken worked for us as a new business but as our needs changed so did our expectations. Quicken just has a lot of catching up to do. Pros Quicken offered a product that allowed us to reconcile our account balances and offered a iPhone and Android app that each of our users were able to utilize. Cons Quicken let us down in a number of ways. First, the product has several bugs especially in the MAC version. The Windows version was a bit better but we still had issues with the program crashing. It is easier to navigate than other products but it is confusing once you get into importing accounts.

Engineer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful accounting software" November 20, 2023 4.0 Pros It is a powerful accounting tool that can provide a visual overview of different accounts. Cons We need to reconcile frequently; otherwise, we will make mistakes easily. Review Source JS Jeff S. SVP/CISO Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product if you need a simple to use, yet powerful features product." June 17, 2019 5.0 We own a variety of rental properties and having the ability to manage different types of property like monthly rentals which has standard monthly rent, as well as manage vacation rentals which payments and rental dates fluctuate. QRPM handles all the scenarios with ease and great reporting. Pros Have used Quicken products for over 30 years and for the cost you cannot beat the features and ease of use. Have used Rental Manager for past 5 years to manage 7+ rental properties and ability to track and manage payments and track expenses into a ledger with the greatest of ease is priceless for someone that doesn't need a full blown accounting system with GL#, etc. Cons Rare that you ever need to call support, but if you do, calling Intuit support has always been a frustrating experience. Just reaching someone knowledgeable to help was always challenging, but i have heard it's improved over past few years as have not had to use support but 2-3 times in life of product.

IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Accounting Software " December 14, 2022 4.0 The software is amazing and has made many accounting processes including invoicing and budgeting easy Pros When it comes to business accounting, Quicken offers best features and makes it easy to handle budgeting among other business accounting needs. Cons Well, although it is very effective and offers great features, it requires training and professional hands to use it effectively. Review Source SS Steven S. Principal Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken " February 17, 2022 5.0 Pros It's a straight forward program once it's set up. It's stable. I have never had a corruption of data. The new subscription version update seamlessly where there is an internet connection. Cons It would be nice to have a preview of report settings. Review Source AW Arnie W. No Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "worst software that i have ever experienced" January 13, 2023 1.0 Worst software in the industry Pros Features are awesome when they work. Stock quotes are awesome but it takes entirely too long to process. I start the download and wait for 5-10 minutes. Cons daily crashes, slowest software on my computer, i would be embarrassed if i wrote this Review Source KD Km D. Full charge bookkeeper Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Subscription" February 17, 2022 3.0 In the past my experience was good. Now I'm just fed up. Don't waste your money on Intuit. Pros It's one of the better accounting software. Cons Subscriptions.You are forced to buy a subscription. In other words you have to buy this software every year. I don't use the features that this forced subscription offers. I've used Intuit for 30 years. I've recommended it to hundreds of people. Those days are over. Intuit is no longer worth the money. Review Source DC Darcy C. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Customer Service and product ease of functionality drop since Intuit Split" December 13, 2017 3.0 After about two decades of relying on this software for myself and some clients, I am now reluctantly looking for a replacement program. Pros It's super easy to utilize if you have basic bookkeeping experience and you are not accounting for investments. Menu options are sensibly grouped. Back up and restore super easy if you want to move copies of file(s) to different computers. Cons Although this software has been very predictable and adequate for a long time, it has become less desirable since split from Intuit. Good luck getting thru to customer service, there have been so many complications to their change over that they are drowning in calls. Their operators are overwhelmed and seem to 'accidentally' hang up on a call all too frequently, after exhaustive hold times. I have been prompted repeatedly to change my passwords during the transition, and rather annoyingly, each time it is updated a different verification email is sent with a code that must be entered, that quickly expires. Don't get distracted, or you have to start all over! Just really inefficient, non-intuitive programming. Review Source DH David H. Realtor Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Have purchased many generations of Quicken" December 5, 2019 5.0 Excellent. I will be redundant, but if you have checking, savings, mutual funds and stock accounts, it performs great. I also count on the cash basis easy statements Pros When I first started with Quicken years and years ago I used it to print my checks and that was replaced with e-banking. Always for maintaining account information, investments and even reconciling statements. Super easy to back up to a thumb drive or DVD Cons If you get screwed up with an investment account's info it is a pain to get it back on track and correct Reason for choosing Quicken complete and performance Review Source KM Kozhi M. CEO Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Review" August 22, 2017 5.0 Best product out there. Tried others, including the now defunct Microsoft Money, and this is, by far, the best product for the money. Also, now that they are separate from Intuit, there are some great things on the horizon that will take them to another level. Pros Easy to use. Uncomplicated when it comes to inputting data. I like that you can use the mobile app and it syncs with the computer system on the desktop version. Cons It would be good to have it work without having to use a desktop version. We are so mobile these days and having to sync with the desktop is a headache. Review Source JM Joy M. Strategic Event & Marketing Director Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great financial Option" May 15, 2023 5.0 Pros Feasibility and easy to use and keep track of income and expenses. Cons Sometimes I have issues with retrieving something; however, I believe it's user errors and I haven't taken the time to research. Review Source JA Jason A. Business Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Mostly good/ some annoyances " December 4, 2018 4.0 Pros Links your bank account. Does recurring invoices Can file your taxes Payroll Can set up automatic payment for customers. Cons Can link two recurring invoices for a customer. Ex. The regular monthly invoice then when the semi annual invoice needs to be billed it doesn’t link so I have to print two invoices. Also, when I print all the invoices it doesn’t print each person’s invoice right after the other. So I end up searching for that second invoice. It’s a mess. It sounds so confusing to read what I wrote. But basically sometimes I end up sending two separate envelopes on the same month for one customer because when it needs to be printed it doesn’t organize then invoices per customer. Review Source TP Tim P. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken 2018 release is the worst software ever!" December 31, 2017 1.0 Someone had best get control of the QA of the software. I would really hate to see this product die after all these years. Pros It used to be easy to use and very helpful. It can track your personal bills as well as track rental expenses. Cons Extremely buggy. Features that used to work are broken or just removed entirely. There used to be a cool interface showing what bills were coming up - that's been removed and replaced with a simple list. Linking to bill accounts just blows up the whole program and it crashes. Some of the totals don't appear to update when you make changes. All of this, and they've changed to a subscription model, so you can still pay full price, but just receive a year's worth of buggy mess. Review Source MC Michael C. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken" November 14, 2017 3.0 Still one of the easier desktop bookkeeping software to use. Too bad no one else can create a competitive desktop bookkeeping software for the general public. Many competitors created only an online version which can be Useless if something happens to your PC or you don't have power or an internet connection! Worse, there's a monthly fee for their online versions! Pros Relatively simple to use as the basic program is basically an electronic version of a check register. Many financial institutions have a Quicken export function for its online banking feature making bank reconciliation a bit easier. Cons Don't need to use other features like investment tracker which is essentially useless for most other people Intuit FORCES people to set up an ONLINE account to link the program to, mainly for tracking and marketing purposes which is complete BS! Update function has moved over the years that it's not as simple to just click 'update' anymore JUST to update Quicken and NOTHING else! Be careful about importing information as it may not import 100% of the banking information, similar to QB. Intuit keeps marketing you to join its other financial services! Review Source AR Aryana R. Founder Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "quicken is inexpensive but has errors" November 20, 2020 3.0 I liked the price and the short learning curve to get up and running. I liked the flexible reporting available. There was a lot of trouble importing transactions which is why I stopped using it. It wouldn't import automatically and I had to download from the bank and Paypal and then upload. Pros I liked the price and the short learning curve to get up and running. I liked the flexible reporting available. Cons There was a lot of trouble importing transactions which is why I stopped using it. It wouldn't import automatically and I had to download from the bank and Paypal and then upload. Switched from [Kashoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/113351/Kashoo-Online-Accounting/) The lack of importing made it really hard to work with Quicken. I also liked that Kashoo is cloud-based and their customer service is awesome. Review Source RC Ralph C. Retired Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Meets Accounting Needs Large & Small " August 14, 2021 5.0 Pros I have been a Quicken user for over 20 years. Intuit has never failed to be in innovative in keeping this software up to date. Cons The reporting functions of the software could be made more flexible. Review Source MP Michael P. Owner Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can't Go Wrong with Quicken!" June 30, 2022 4.0 For me it has been the perfect first finance software , and has remained strong over the years. While I don't use it as much as I used to, it remains a vital part of keeping track of my personal finances both for tax purposes and budgeting. I highly recommend it, especially for self employed folks! Pros Quicken is nothing short of a professional and complete software. I've used different versions of Quicken over the years and it continues to get updated to be better and better. I love how simple it is it first and foremost, as even small business owners and non professionals can easily use the program. I find it best for personal finance, as you can make extensive budgets and keep track of your income and expenses. Especially great for self-employed people like myself. Cons There isn't anything I can think of that I really dislike about Quicken! Maybe I would say that there isn't the best upgrade system in place for those that have previous versions over the years, as the software dates back over 30 years. Review Source Linh P. Tax Auditor Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A must have for small and medium business" May 14, 2021 5.0 Quicken truly helps small and medium business owners to manage their own business without the burden of hiring some professional accountant. The cost saving is truly impressive. Pros It set the standard for the market. The software is so widely used that it is even added to the undergraduate program in some universities. Everyone (with or without an Accounting background) can use it to manage his/her business. The software is regularly updated with useful features. Cons Quicken required user to pay for the new license to update the software to the new version. Since it is regularly updated, the software costs more than just a one-time expense.

CEO Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "2 decade happy user" December 24, 2025 4.0 I’ve used for 20 years and would not change unless a better product comes along. I have not seen any better alternatives yet. Pros Daily updates of transactions and values gives me a good idea of my finances and give me peace of mind Cons Somewhat antiquated and website doesn’t work well. I still use the desktop application which works well but an online experience would be nice Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Program Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I have been very disappointed with Quicken in general. " January 11, 2018 1.0 Pros It does have a lot of features and it's nice to have a product that specializes in rental property management. Cons The software is buggy, its connectivity and updates to banks is also very spotty and it's not as intuitive to use as I would have thought. Their customer support is willing to help but don't necessarily know the product that well. The categorization feature of expense types is very unwieldy. I found it to be very inconsistent and difficult to use. Connectivity - The balances listed in Quicken immediately following an update were often out of sync with numerous accounts. Review Source MB Marlene B. ADMIN Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Severe issues with Quicken products linking with Scotiabank" September 26, 2022 1.0 Extremely poor. The first few years with the product was great until there was a software update 2 years ago. Since then all funds that are transfered to or from Scotiabank come in as US Funds. Quicken refuses to work with the issue and just blames the bank. I have contacted all the way to headquarters and no one at scotia is even aware there is an issue because Quicken will not contact them! Pros Used to like the easy way the software was able to contact servers to upload information Cons SERVERS do not work with Scotiabank products for over 2 years and QUICKEN refuses to do anything about the issue Reason for choosing Quicken I will be cancelling QUICKEN and researching other products that actually work and have support Review Source Dennis M. Technical Support Analyst Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Its a simple software to use " May 25, 2018 4.0 We can now manage the rental properties of our organization more easily Pros Fits and collects the crucial details of tenant thereby eliminating the need of maintaining the information in physical form Suitable for use mostly by SMEs Cons The product information is not readily available and for a new user wishing to acquire the product may find it hard to obtain the crucial data concerning the software Review Source CP Chris P. Corporate recruiter Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great for tracking costs and doing taxes" February 20, 2021 5.0 I've used it for many years and have no problems with it. I started with a free version for many years and eventually paid for a basic version and it's still just fine for me. Pros I use it for personal use and used it for my coffee shop. it was easy to create and track different categories like inventory costs, payroll, etc. Come tax time this was very important Cons exporting reports isn't as details as they could be but it still served my purposes especially since I have the basic (cheapest) version Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
