Customer Reviews

There must be a better solution than Intuit and Quicken
I've had it with Quicken. From its bizarre copy protection schemes to the endless promotions of its own products within the program and some of the dumbest programming decisions around, such as downloading all transactions from a single financial institution into one account, even though you have separated them into multiple accounts. I don't need Quicken making these decisions for me.

The endless selling is intrusive and annoying. You have to be very careful that you aren't initiating some process that won't end up having you cancel it later.

Quicken's help file is ridiculous. It is incomplete or in many instances uses terms that are different than those used in the program itself. All too often the sketchy help file entries refer you to an equally poorly written and uninformative web entry - where Intuit attempts to sell you more of their products and services.

Because they were first to market and did a passable job in their early years, Quicken dominates the market. But, in my opinion, for the past several years, Intuit has abused its own customer base. I'm tired of it, tired of the endless marketing promotions in the programs, tired of the lousy help, tired of the ridiculous inflexibility of the program. I'll be looking elsewhere in the future and leave these moneygrubbers behind.

Fine product
Pros:If your looking for an all in one product for the self employed to keep track of your small business as well as personal life all together this is it. It creates invoices {like its sister software Quickbooks},keeps track of your banking, stocks & so much more.

Cons: If your as busy as I am you may find that this software is to much for you to learn & depending on what your needs are you can cut out some of the clutter that you will never use. Its better to have to many features than not enough.Also this is the type of software {like most} that almost demands that you keep upgrading every year or so. Example: The reason I had to buy this software is that my older version {Quicken 2000} that printed invoices just fine, would no longer print when I upgraded to Windows vista.For most self employed this is a great stand alone product. I didn't keep mine, I now use a product from NCH [...]
that does what I need for free {please donate}.

Dont purchace unless you want to be a "pro-bono beta tester" for Intuit
I installed this useless program as a supposed upgrade to 2004. I have been very happy with the 2004 version and thought this might have more features. First, the transaction downloads from your financial institution to the program does not work. (I used this a lot in 2004 version, but reason fro upgrade is that Intuit decided to make my version obsolete, not allow you to use the online features on the older versions)
Sometimes the transactions would show up if I closed the program and opened again, but often not. I tried to update directly from the financial institutions website. This does not work correctly. It just brings up the old circa 1994 version. After this mess I decided to go back to the 2004 version.
This is where the real nightmare begins.
When you install 2009 it puts your old information into a special folder. Well guess what? Installing 2009 messes up the registry. It keeps the file association with the new version. When I attempted to restore my old files it say it belongs to a newer version and it won't work. Having foresight, I created a system restore point right before I installed 2009.
Also, manually back up your old files before installing 2008, preferably to a CDROM or USB flash drive where the new software can't ruin it.
I did a system restore. I tried to open my 2008 program but the program had been damaged.
Once I uninstalled the 2004 and reinstalled it, I was finally able to put my backup file back into the drive.
I only have three words to describe this junk:
