Lecturer E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Why Quicken?" February 14, 2021 4.0 Good. Pros Tracking personal finances and business statements is probably the best feature in Quickens. Cons Sometimes transactions gets lost and do not show up. Alternatives considered [Kashoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/113351/Kashoo-Online-Accounting/) Reason for choosing Quicken Cost effectiveness Review Source JH Jena H. CFO Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall good, but has room for improvements" October 31, 2018 3.0 Check if the software works with your financial institutions prior to purchase. Pros It's a very lean and simple tool to use for most business structures capable of handling transactions of all types and frequency. Cons When I purchased this software a year ago, I was excited to use it because of its promise that the software works with most financial institutions. The hint here is "most". Unfortunately, the software doesn't support Capital one products and I am unable to load my transactions, I have to key them in manually. I am surprised that it doesn't support Capital One as it's a global financial institution. The biggest challenge that this software isn't based on subscription, and incurs frequent updates, some of them caused glitches and I had to spend hours on the phone with a service team. Review Source LB Linda B. Township Clerk Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used this program since it came out. Now, today, it is a mess. My software is locked up, items missing from my ledger and this will cause me to spend hours re-creating my data." September 12, 2017 1.0 Pros Before now, I would say I like everything about it. I could always count on it to perform as it should and it was updated in a responsible way. this time, I checked to allow upgrade and everything went haywire. And, right at a time when I counted on it to perform as it always had. Cons It is no longer reliable. Was I in shock when I opened Quicken to find out that it had been down-graded in stead of upgraded. I had to work 15 hours to get figures re-entered for a report due this evening. As I said it is no longer reliable. I called a contact listed on computer for Quicken repair. Needless to say, I did not have it done! Review Source JP Jeanine P. Construction Estimator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Classic Money Management Software" March 30, 2019 5.0 I like to stick with a version I am familiar and comfortable with. So last time they tried to force me to upgrade, I went to using my spreadsheet and I don't even bother balancing my checkbook anymore - everything downloads instantaneously now, and I write about 2 checks a month, so I just keep track of it in my spreadsheet. That being said, if I could get a version and stick with it, I would go back to Quicken so that I could have the charts and reports. Pros I have used this software since I began using computers to manage my money. I like how easy it is to customize my views, and to export information to excel if I want to manipulate it for my own purposes. It is also straightforward, easy to learn, and has many levels of support if you can't figure something out for yourself. Cons So many upgrades, and they make it mandatory. It is a good value for the money, but I don't think you should have to upgrade every 2 years. Review Source MG Mark G. attorney Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken: More powerful than most of us need" December 14, 2017 5.0 I haven't used a paper check register in many, many years. I manage my finances on Quicken. While I don't use Quicken's investment-tracking features, I've played with them in the past and they work well. Pros It makes it easy to track my finances (both business and personal) and to upload and download transactions to and from my bank Cons It's a little slow to load. In the 2018 version, which I recently installed, the dropdown menus don't stay dropped down long enough when I use my mouse to navigate; I have to use my arrow keys. I don't like the fact that Quicken now forces you to upgrade the software every year or to if you want the ability to continue communicating with your bank using the program. I don't need the minor improvements that the publisher touts, and resent having to keep loading given that I'm not seeing any improvements in the features that I used. Review Source SG Shani G. Manager Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Terrible software and customer support" March 14, 2023 1.0 BAD (Bad) Pros The interface looks nice and the reports as well have a nice touch to them. Entering of transactions are quick. Cons I have had issues with the password login since day 1. It would either not login at all online or just in the windows app, the the same app days later would reject the password. You get onto chat, you are hit with a bot who is hell bent on trying to make you sort out your issues yourself by delving into the "forums"...basically in other terms "do not use our human resources...go lose your own time even though you paid for this product". So not only do you get to pay for the product but they have the guts of asking you to "go read" about you problem and sort it out in your own time. MIND BOGGLIN. The arrogance stinks. Review Source AF Anne F. Chief Philanthropy Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent software to manage your finances!" January 6, 2021 5.0 Overall, my experience is excellent. It helps with tax preparation but most important for keeping a handle on personal finances. An elegant software! Pros I have used Quicken for almost two decades, to keep our family's personal finances on track. It is excellent, dependable, easy to use even if you are not a tech-genius. Cons There are some challenges in linking to a personal bank account, probably to do with security; but it does make some downloads a little challenging. Review Source NW Nancy W. Board member and Secty/Treas. Philanthropy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Using Quicken for different scenarios" April 19, 2018 5.0 I use Quicken for two very different entities: 1) a small nonprofit support organization and 2) our former small business and our personal accounting needs. It works well for both these. Pros The ease in entering data, and the ability to produce reports that are useful. It is not necessary to use ALL the features offered by Quicken software. One can pick and choose what is useful for their needs. Cons I have not found flaws in this software. I have not yet found an easy way to convert reports into pdf format in order to provide to others who cannot access Quicken reports. I am certain there is a way to do this, I just have not taken the time to work through the process. Review Source CG Chantal G. Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helps with finances" July 8, 2021 5.0 Pros Keeping my expenses in check and being able make sure my monthly bills are paid in time. Cons The fact that once the information is in, one cannot delete a mistake on a payer for example. Review Source DD Dandy D. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken Deluxe to keep track of your income, Investments, Expenses, Debts and Loans " February 2, 2018 5.0 Overall value of the software is very good, provided you keep your computer equipment up to date. Quickens new feature allows tracking by cell phone, which is a great feature when you are travelling and cannot sit at your home computer Pros Accurate tracking of activities in your bank account and credit cards, Investment status and loan balances Cons Phone support was phased out and for an old timer who cannot type fast, asking questions is time consuming and requires a lot of patience Review Source MA Marty A. self-employed Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top Notch Software going downhill" August 31, 2018 4.0 I believe Quicken is making a mistake going subscription based only. I think they should offer a choice between product ownership or subscription based. After all these years with Quicken, I may be parting relationship because of this and I am not the only user who has the same sentiment. Short of going subscription based, Quicken would be a 5 star in my opinion. Pros I have used Quicken software of various versions for over 20 years. Overall a great piece of accounting software. Provides flexibility reporting. Cons Does not provide option to use account numbers (I have to incorporate account numbers within the account description) Current versions are not going to subscription based. Review Source SD Sarah D. Staff Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Limited functionality but Ease of Use" May 22, 2018 3.0 I found that the financial planning tools are quite helpful and it is also helpful that the Quicken software can provide "Reminders" for certain transactions. Obviously you would have to remember to set these Reminders up in the Software itself initially, but once set-up this is very helpful going forward. Pros The product is capable of showing a very basic overview of a client's activity. I thought this would work well for clients that do not have a ton of different account transactions to post throughout a period and also for clients that do not use a bunch of different accounts (This gets to be messy when there are too many accounts) I also think the software is beneficial to help with budgeting a being able to get a daily look at a client's activity. Cons I did not like the fact that you can not post Journal Entries to move amounts between different accounts. When adjusting a client's Books this is very necessary to be able to record JEs to move around different amounts within the Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Another Con was that the software is difficult to upload and/or transfer into QuickBooks if you are trying to convert between the two. Review Source Sergio M. Coach Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quicken is the best software to manage your money, create budgets, manage your rental properties." July 28, 2018 4.0 I was able to get out of debt using their budget features and keep track of all my bank transactions. Pros I used to be very bad with my money, my father told me that Quicken would help me create a budget, follow it and save some money. I was able to get out of debt using it. If you have rental properties you will be able to manage them all. I like that you can download transactions from your bank, pay your bills and even keep track of your investments. Cons Quicken has been around for like 30 years but it seems like there are many bugs, specially downloading transactions, I don't know if it's related to my banks or quicken's. the good thing is that Quicken's customer support is really good. Review Source BS Brian S. Senior Trader Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have wasted more time with this product" February 9, 2022 1.0 I was satisfied for 23 years and everything just went straight downhill. Pros I used to like the fact that all of my financial information was easily downloadable Cons After Charles Schwab made a change, Quicken was unable to reconfigure their software to provide updates. I have wasted more than 10 hours trying to get the issues resolve with zero satisfaction. My annual subscription just renewed and I'm sure I will be canceling it before Quicken gets anything resolved. I had to schedule a call back after an issue was unresolved after 3 hours of being on the phone and the supervisor couldn't even make the call Quicken scheduled. Just ridiculous Review Source RR Rowanne R. Commercial Lines Manager Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Screenshot of all your finances on one page. " August 15, 2017 3.0 Great for getting your finances in order and starting to see big picture where you and your money is. Still has some work to do with compatibility with banks as well as features. Pros What I like most about this product is the screenshot you get of all your accounts. Being able to see every account in one place really allows you to better control your finances and budget. I am in the application frequently updating downloads and seeing how my money and accounts move. I also really enjoy the breakdown of categories because I can go back and see just how much I spent on Rent, Groceries, Shopping, etc. per month, per year, etc. It's really nice. Cons What I have become quite frustrated with is the logging in and my intuit ID. Anytime the systems logs me out, for some reason, whenever I log back in, it just doesn't take me to my normal page, it creates a new page and new file for me. It's very nerve racking and it has been occurring more frequently. Also, I do feel the budget section of the application could use some work. I really liked it in the beginning, but now it is slightly a pain to use and have not used it since. Review Source DT Dennis T. Owner Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for the businessman that owns a few houses for rent." August 1, 2018 4.0 Pros It is very easy to use and keeps track of each individual home...the income and the expenses. It also allows tracking expenses by category, and you can set these up for custom tracking. Cons It doesn't handle deposits very well. And I have never figured out how to change the dates that the rent covers. For example, if someone moves in during the middle of a month, it doesn't handle that well. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Sales Associate Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Keep it simple or be better" May 28, 2020 3.0 I am not a fan of the new set up of the software. I am not looking to track my personal expenses with my apartment building expenses. I just want Quicken for property management with no added bells and whistles. Pros When I started using this software about 15 years ago it was like a glorified spreadsheet and it was amazing! Then they wanted to start adding bells and whistles and it did not work as well. Cons I stopped using it for a few years bouncing around to look for something better for the price and now I am back and have yet to find a good alternative. Review Source JR John R. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Online check book with lots of buproduct benifits" August 15, 2017 5.0 For the price of this product the features and functions are excellent for small business and personal use. Pros The product is easy to use and has excellent help functions. Check writing and reconciliation is simple and effective. The ability to run reports and summarize by payee, category etc and sort the data is a great tool for you G/L posting. The product also help alert missing check numbers and duplicates. Cons Would be great if the product had a feature to print mailing labels from the payee file. It would also be nice to have an easy way to have multi address for the same payee. Review Source FG Fernando G. Manager Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I like it. I just don't like monthly fees or having to upgrade to be able to connect bank accounts" December 17, 2020 4.0 Great experience. The technology is great. Just hard to keep up with the monthly fees for a small business. Pros I like it. I just don't like monthly fees or having to upgrade to be able to connect bank accounts for automatic upgraded on my financial statements. Cons Good software. Easy to use and practical. Helps you accomplish accounting needs in an easy way. Connecting directly to your banks helps you get things done faster. Reason for choosing Quicken Price and free connection and bank account info upgrades for free. Since they started charging to upgrade to be able to get the bank information automatically upgraded, as per the needs of my small business, I have switched to another software that lets me connect and upgrade the info for free. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Price. It was cheaper, and in the beginning, I could connect to my bank accounts and upgrade my bank info for free. Review Source CC Cathy C. biller Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quicken-Couldn't live without you" May 11, 2021 4.0 I have used Quicken for many years and like that I know how to use it and it works well for my needs Pros Downloading bank activity to multiple accounts is paramount for my accounting activities. Quicken does it well and gives several ways to download the information. Cons Customer services is hard to get to, reps can be hard to understand with varying dialects and accents. It is getting expensive. Review Source DS Darcy S. admin Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Quicken Review " January 26, 2024 5.0 Pros Used this when i was purchasing my home. they are very helpful Cons i dont have any cons if i am being completely honest. Review Source MM Mariana M. Project Coordinator Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All about your finances and assets" October 1, 2018 4.0 Quicken is a very nice domestic software to control your personnel finances. The app version was recently updated and it is easier to navigate now. Pros You can access your database through several devices. You can create different types of accounts, such as checkings, savings, assets. You can create different budgets. Added your invoices and receivings, you will have a cash flow. You can create categories to classify your expenses and earnings. Cons You can not do a transfer using your the app on your cell phone. To categorize a transaction split in two or more categories is a little trick. Review Source GD George D. Self-Employed Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Personal Accounting Software" February 25, 2021 5.0 Overall, this is an easy to use, but pretty powerful little piece of software. Pros Quicken is an easy way to track your expenses and prepare a budget and be prepared to do your taxes. Cons I'm not in love with their new subscription plan which forces you to upgrade every year. In the past you could hang onto a version for several years before upgrading. Reason for choosing Quicken Very well supported product. Review Source GL Greg L. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounting software" July 29, 2021 4.0 Overall it’s not a bad program to use Pros This program works pretty good keeps track of accounts and allows you to invoice customers Cons The down side is that it could be a like complex if you mess something up to fix it without a big hassle to go thru Review Source CK Carol K. attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Stopped using after 20 years" January 4, 2023 1.0 Installed, set up and transferred my data from my old PC to my brand new Mac. When I went the next day to open the program it wouldn't open. Tried everything w/my techie friend. Finally called Quicken, got disconnected once when he put my on hold not knowing what to do. Second tech specialist told me it must be a problem with the Mac, even though every other program/app works on the Mac! I had them cancel my subscription. Pros I don't know, after the initial installation it wouldn't open Cons Technical support is useless, refused to let me speak to someone at a higher level. They couldn't figure out, in my email address, how to spell 'attorney'---didn't know what one was. Review Source Similar Products Featured
