Quicken Software

Great Financial Management Application

Pros

This software help me to monitor the performance of my investment at my convenience which helps to make effective financial decisions personally and for others.

Cons

Its difficult to use by big financial organizations with huge data. I think it should be improve for every organization to use it because the features are very good and would be useful for every financial firm.

Everyone knows that Quicken is AWESOME!

Enjoy your experience. You have nothing to lose. They have great specials and reasons to try or buy.

Pros

Very easy to use and well
respected product. As they say, manage your money and save. Its all about utilizing all of its core strategies.

Cons

As with many other things there are so many ither solutions in this arena. The fact is Quicken is worth the shot.

Managing your finances

If you are doing your own taxes then Quicken and Turbo tax is your solution

Pros

Integrates well with my bank and credit card companies to assist in managing my personal finances. Great reports and budget tracking

Cons

I don't want to update version just because of new features, I would love to see ability to integrates notes from online banking with Quicken Catorgies

Quicken is fine for individuals

Pros

This program is really designed for individuals. The function for tracking investments works very well.

Cons

It really isn't designed for small businesses. Reports are not as easy to get at detaining income and expenses.

All-in-one

Pros

Having everything that you need in one place is a blessing. I always hated to change to different software/programs depending on what I was doing. Quicken makes it painless.

Cons

The only cons I would say is it could use more interactive features going forward. But if no changes are made, I like it just the way it is.

Personal finance made easy!

Pros

This product is very affordable and helps track your personal finances with ease. You get mobile access where you can access your bills and reports to see your spending habits.

Cons

There are different levels to the software. You pay a little more for better features. You'd have to get the Personal and Business edition to really maximize your software potential.

Good personal software

The company that make this software has been bought. Don´t know what the future will bring

Pros

Great budgeting tools, probably one of the more robust outthere
Very complete, most of the personal finances cases are here. From daily finance to retirement

Cons

Customer service is very bad
Price might be high compared to similar products available on the market

Great for personal finances

This is a really good program for personal finances and makes check reconciliation very easy.

Pros

Very easy to use and good tracking abilities and easy to create and read reports. It connects to your bank so it is very easy to reconcile your accounts.

Cons

I pretty much like everything about this program for personal finances. It is really easy to track spending and see where your money is going.

Biller integration needs work

Pros

Bank integration is great. I can handle all my finances through one interface. Paying bills is dead simple.

Cons

Multiple bills from the same biller (like 2x Chase credit cards) breaks. Once I turned on the feature to pull bills from my billers I've had bill reminders disappear, so I have to pay much closer attention than I should have to given that this is what I have Quicken for.

Good but not great

Pros

Fairly simple to use and has lots of features. I really like that I can make invoices as well. The reporting is well featured and intuitive.

Cons

The thing I don't like is that I've been with their tech support a few times. They are terrifically slow. For example, I'll chat with them online and literally spend 3 hours at a time and get no where. Eventually I have to go because I have other things to do. Then a few weeks later another 3 hours.
In the end they blame it on a corrupted file. They refused to help me with that.

Much improved from 2 years go- great software!

Pros

If you have used QuickBooks in the workplace, then you will love Quicken. It is very similar and the updates they have made in the last few years has made a big difference. Keep track of all expenses in a seamless platform that multi-users can have access to. Works great for home budget.

Cons

Customer service and getting access to support is difficult. Minimal channels to get a real person to assist when you run into snags.

Quicken for personal use

Highly recommended for everyone to use for tracking their personal finances. You can check your net worth growth annually. Check and to help keep track of your investments. Prices of stocks and values update automatically. Annually you can update the value of other investments.

Pros

Easy to set up. Simple to check your net worth, investments, loan balances, check accounts, etc. I have used Quicken for personal tracking of investments for 40 years. I have recommended Quicken deluxe to my son and nephews for tracking their investments & annual net worth growth. Some investments update automatically (stocks).

Cons

Sometimes too time consuming if used for personal checking accounts if several checks are written. I enter my checks in bulk at month end to make it easier and less time is required. New updates for Quicken are available every year. I usually do not update every year.

I use this program to manage accounts at multiple financial institutions.

Pros

Once an account is set up it is easy to change how the information is represented and generate different reports.

Cons

I have had some problems getting the program to automatically interface with certain institutions but that may be their fault.

Works well for my personal accounting

Would highly recommend for daily personal accounting needs.

Pros

Easy to use. Like the investments section specifically. Helps me keep track of all my transactions and balances.

Cons

Wish it could link to Quickbooks so I can keep my personal and business accounting separate.. If it does, would need help to integrate it.

Better than expected

I was struggling but one call to their help line worked miracles

Pros

It is thorough and dependable. Once I got my data downloaded my reports to only minutes and they look great

Cons

Complicated at first, but once I understood the steps it was easy. Coordinating with my bank information is awesome

There are better products

I think this is usually a free program making it a good return on investment

Pros

This product has s very short learning curve. It is simple and obvious making it s good solution gif s nontechnical person

Cons

This product lacks the robust features that lost users end up wishing for once they become comfortable. The common complaint I hear is about missing features

Quicken - introduction to life accounting

Perfect introductory software that should be taught at the high school level.

Pros

The product completes the need for household activity tracking. A favorable outcome from the utilization is the expanded awareness the user gains as relating to a source and use of funds.

Cons

The con is not related to what quicken offers, but to the next step in household activity tracking, which would be to start performing formal accounting with another software. Quicken does what it has committed to.

Excellent program for rental properties

Pros

I love how easy it is to setup accounts. Create great statements for tenants and landlord. It's excellent with managing your personal finaces.

Cons

Software should have been able to create a data base also. The program should have been designed were you just purchase other than have a 2 year subscription.

Great software for small company that does not need special invoicing.

Pros

I like how there are templates already created for standard reports. I like how invoices can be sent with online payment option.

Cons

Limited customization of invoices and formatting capability. Customer support knowledge varies depending who you get on the phone.

Easy to Manage your Budget

Excellent software and very easy to use. You can manage your personal finances or business all in one software. Awesome!!!

Pros

Very easy to manage your personal budget, and you can make bill payments with only one click. no need to get to different account, you can do it all in one place

Cons

I can think of any cons, is very easy to use and secure. you can manage your business. I don't think needs anything else to improve. Thank you Quicken
