    Lack of availability for Mac

    I cannot say more than I already have. I’ve had to save information on my Mac and then pick it up on my PC just to send an invoice. This is inconvenient. It takes time that could be better off spend doing other things. Please, Quicken, bring Home and Business to Mac. Also, allow the ability to edit previous entries. I’ve noticed issues in the past that could have been easily fixed with an edit button, but you cannot. This should be fixed. As the leader in accounting software, it should have more features available than it does.

    Pros

    Quicken seems to be the go-to accounting software in the industry, so naturally we went with it. We were very happy with Quicken, as it is easy to teach to our new employees. I also really like the seamlessness of the program between a Mac and a PC. My laptop is a Mac while my home computer is a PC, and I find that the program itself is very similar on both platforms, and thus very easy to use. However, we initially intended to purchase Quicken for Home and Business, but it is not available for Mac, so we had to take a step back and purchase Quicken Premier. This was more than slightly annoying, but we managed to make it work.

    Cons

    The lack of availability of Home and Business for Mac is a big con for me. The Home and Business program allows for custom invoices, which would look really good for our small business. We also wanted the ability to track our profit and loss, so we purchased it for my home computer. We can still send out the custom invoices on our PCs, but it would be a lot easier if it were available for Mac. Hopefully, there will be an option to purchase Home and Business in the future for Mac.

    Pros

    Quicken is one of the only accounting software programs that has a ton of features. Depending on the version you decide to go with, bill management with alerts, asset and liability management, net worth and an app to access from your phone. Great potential

    Cons

    Besides a few bugs with downloading of files, everything works well. Cost effective and seems to be the go to in the accounting world.

    Quicken allows you to sync with your brokerage accounts, track investments and monitor the performance of your investment portfolio.

    Cons

    Because this is a desktop application, you cannot access your account on another computer. This makes it hard unless you travel with your laptop.

    Useless

    Pros

    When it works, it is fine. When it doesn't it is completely useless see below for my more explicit observations

    Cons

    Twice Quicken 2018 has lost data. The first time was when I simply ran a One Step Update. The second when I added an existing checking account. Each time deposits were completely lost, categories missing, Payee names changed, and split info was lost

    Quicken support solution: Make sure I back up my data!!!!!

    A financial software that cant retain data is useless'

    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)

    This software helps me to keep track of my finances and make plans for the future. I like the graphs that allow me to visualize my income streams and speanding habits.

    Cons

    Creating new categories to track spending can be tedious at times. It often categorizes some of my most common transactions and I have to reassign the category.

    I don't like the fact that they make you update software every year, I think that is too often, you should be allowed to use older version.

    Pros

    Ability to track all of my expenditures from all accounts and use the information for budgeting and tax reporting.

    Cons

    Software seems to have difficulty maintaining connectivity with accounts for downloading information directly into Quicken. Find myself having to go to some accounts and download from there instead of automatic updating.

    Sometimes there is no option to place a liability into a separate area - My car loan was part of my credit union accounts. When I tried to download the details from my credit union, I placed it in a credit card item and I had to use it that way. I would like more flexibility to place things in areas when my mind thinks they should go. Perhaps it is not right but I don't know.

    Pros

    I have a continuous history of my income and expenses, I can easily use the details for tax purposes. At a glance, I see my liabilities and expenses, and balances.

    Cons

    There is not enough undo options on some of the things I do and I delete things when I don't mean to do so.

    This is the best product I have found to stay on top of our finances.

    Pros

    Quicken is easy to use and gives the ability to stay on top of your finances! From checking and savings, credit cards, mortgages and more!

    Cons

    You have to pay Quicken in order to pay your bills on a monthly basis. I don't have to pay my bank, so I have to pay through my bank, and then manually add those payments to Quicken.

    A bit pricey. Also very time consuming. Though it's getting better all the time. This makes it a bit unwieldy.
