Better than expected or any other such investment management programs I've seen

Very quick and informative response from support when I had a question on getting set up. That whole process went smoothly.

PROS

I like that it's on my computer and not in some amorphous "cloud." I was looking to replace Google Finance after it turned into a mess, found this and can't be happier plus it is way more useful. It's fast, comprehensive, and makes a load of information easy to find. I've only been using for about 6 months and it's now an important go-to tool for all my investing decisions. We have about 60 holdings of more than 40 stocks, CEFs, ETFs in 6 accounts (SEPs, ROTHs, etc.) with 2 brokers. I was just able to easily complete a total overview analysis that I've been straining to try and do for a long time. It's easy to update with transactions, divis, etc. and is alway right on with Quicken & broker statements.

CONS

No complaints about SMEye at all. In fact, I'm still learning about tools and info it includes.

I well designed, easy to use, but basic portfolio management tool

I'm enjoying the tool, and it beats what I've used before. If you could add the two features I listed under cons, I would be very happy.

PROS

It is reliable which is the main reason I switched from my other tool. Nothing is worse than sitting down to check your portfolio and finding your tool is offline. The user interface is simple and intuitive, for the most part. It does provide a very useful range of fundamental metrics and ratios through the "Configure Columns" command, although the command is hard to access (you need to right click on the column header). All in all, though, I find the tool solid, reliable, and well-designed.

CONS

There are two improvements I would like: 1. Currently, there are two views on portfolios: Prices and Fundamentals. These can be configured. I would really like to create as many views as I want for each portfolio or watchlist (e.g. valuation, growth, performance . . .). Currently, I'm finessing this by creating duplicate watchlists for each view I'd like, but that is a pain if I add, delete, or change entries in a portfolio. So, user created/defined views would be great. 2. I would like to be able to chart the overall performance of my portfolio, and display it in comparison with indices, moving averages, etc.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback. For your improvement request #2, have you tried clicking on the "Total" line of your portfolio? This will generate the market value chart of your portfolio (i.e. the end-of-day value of your portfolio over time). You can then add any comparison symbols you want to the chart as well as any of the supported technical indicators.

Don't buy it!

Unable to adjust to Yahoo's operating changes. No support. Even after 3 weeks of service interruption they are not able to give an idea of when the application will be functional again. Does not provide service but refuses to refund.

PROS

Easy to use, but useless if you can't have any data.

CONS

Very poor technical service. They doesn't seem to care about customers.

StockMarketEye is the perfect 'Watch Dog' on stocks

I think StockMarketEye is a great software for tracking a multitude of stocks and being able to see at a glance what a stock is doing. You can monitor those stocks to see percentage of performance over a given time span and can invest in them at your discretion.

PROS

Its easy to enter new stocks and even put in the price you paid for the stock. It will then keep up with the fluctuations in the market for that stock. You have the ability to increase the number of stocks you have.

CONS

When you add new stock purchases of the same stock you already have and are watching, you must take the original price of the first stocks and the new higher or lower price of the added stock and find the exact average of your investment per stock. Then change the cost to the new average. It would be nice if that could be done in StockMarketEye instead of with a calculator and entered manually. Would also be nice to be able to see what the current stock market averages are doing.

Useful app to check your stock portfolio

Great little app, highly recommended..

PROS

This affordable app is an inexpensive way to track your stock portfolio, and keep an eye on the market prices. You can set specific alerts to buy and sell specific stocks, and use it to calculate your profitability.

CONS

There are more comprehensive cloud based systems, but at this price point you won't find anything better.

Portfolio Manager's PM

Working in a portfolio management group, we use StockMarketEye to help analyze our client's portfolios and look for trends in the data. We are able to consolidate everything into one portfolio, and harness the tools such as charting and watchlists to make determinations as to when we want to enter new positions. Very impressed overall.

PROS

Ability to group different accounts into one single portfolio for analysis. This helps when trying to create aggregate analyses of all my client's portfolios. Also really like the ability to keep watchlists of stocks, and track if they reach certain levels. No longer do we have to dedicate someone to watching price levels; rather, we can be notified when certain moves happen.

CONS

Lacks a research aspect, but I realize that's not what this software is about. Can also be somewhat challenging jumping from systems such as Bloomberg to StockMarketEye, although the latter is most definitely more modern.

Best windows portfolio app

This has been a good way for me to view all my brokerage accounts in one place offline. I am better able to analyze and implement action plans for my financial goals related to investments.

PROS

Portfolio organization is great, nice features including a view of stocks combined from all portfolios (which helped me discover I had more than I wanted of a particular stock). I like the ability to have multiple watchlists and layered portfolios.

CONS

Cash balance problems I had when uploading brokerage transactions and subsequent manual entries, it was very difficult to get the cash balance correct. I finally had to wipe it out in one case. I dream of having a view like a checkbook with in/out and balance columns for each dated transaction for each brokerage account , and tag/mark transactions as "reconciled" so that I can better compare to the web account views.

One of the best stock tracker app

PROS

I could track the stock that I'm interested and put it in different category. The nice feature is the app tracks the historical daily price so I would know the stock price percentage change since the first day I add the stock to my watch list.

CONS

The graph, I would like to be able to have multiple graph windows and the ability to arrange them in tile mode per stock. It would be helpful for me to review the different technical graphs for a stock at the same time.

Great program - Simple to use - does what I need

PROS

This program has connections to multiple data sources. Allows me to have multiple portfolios. very stable - no issues

CONS

only wish is that if that I did not close the program and had to do a restart, it would be easier to restart and get the files synched automatically. An extra step and all is well, with all data recovered, but it would be nice to have this happen automatically, or even better, ask the user if it should do file recovery or not.

Solid, reliable, more than enough technical metrics for my trading needs

PROS

Allows me to check my portfolio quickly outside of a browser (no internet distractions or navigating across 6 pages of a poorly designed brokerage account. Charting tools and technicals are sufficient and easy to use. Alerts work well.

CONS

Doesn't always sync perfectly with my brokerage account. Sometimes I have to make minor corrections after the import. But it's a minor annoyance.

Suits My Needs

My overall experience is very favorable. I believe my decision to purchase this product was a very sound decision. I use the software daily including days when the markets are closed. I am happy enough with my use that even though the developer is very open to suggested improvements and actually solicits same, I have not submitted any.

PROS

Enables me to track actual and hypothetical portfolios of stock market investments in real time. The software also enables tracking and recording dividends, return of capital, interests, management fees, taxes, cash inputs, cash withdrawals, etc. which I record for any actual portfolios I create.

CONS

The software synchronizes with Yahoo Finance, which is OK, but I have found that Market Watch is a superior platform to Yahoo. The reports system is also OK, but took me while to get used to the nuances of the cumbersome report generating system.

Best product for real-time portfolio performance analysis

The product's user interface is easy to use and intuitive. Its very easy to zoom out on a portfolio, or zoom in on a single position. The brokerage import allows aggregation and consolidation across multiple brokerage accounts. It provides an almost real-time picture of all of my investment portfolios.

PROS

The feature I use and like the most is the ability to clearly see the performance of a particular investment position over time.

CONS

Can't wait for the new mobile app as well as expanded brokerage import.Would also be nice if it could import bank accounts.

Excellent Portfolio Management Tool for ASX

I use StockMarketEye to track and manage my portfolio of stocks held on the Australian Stock Exchange. The program is able to provide excellent analysis through its data and charts, and the reports functionality lets me review performance over time, and compare against index performance. The ability to accurately track transactions, dividends, reinvestment plans, etc all help to give me a very accurate insight into my portfolio.

PROS

The ability to track all transactions relating to my portfolio and get accurate analytics.

CONS

I'm a Mac user and I don't like that it has been developed in Java (I assume). This means it's cross platform, but it doesn't look nice and doesn't conform with Mac UX.

Best I have found!

I have used many portfolio tracking software packages and online sites. StockMarketEye is the only program that provides a comprehensive tracking and reporting system. You can generate a detailed return report based on an specific time frame you want on one portfolio or a combination of portfolios. You can track buys and sells very easily, as well as, account for dividends to cash or reinvested easily. You receive portfolio return to include time weighted average. The program provides stock graphs that includes buys, sells, dividends, and splits.

CONS

The software offers no fundamental or technical stock research.

Invariably, when we walk into our financial institution to review our investments, the returns always seem a little higher than it would appear. I appreciate SME's ability to enter in the dates and amounts for very old trades to get our own personal read on how our long term investments are doing. Thanks. And on a Mac :)

Easy to use software for non-specialists

I'm not a day-trader, just an ordinary head of family who needs to manage our family investments. Our needs are quite basic - adding and subtracting shares as we buy and sell, taking account of dividends, managing splits, etc.. Perhaps because of our simple needs, I found it surprisingly hard to find software that was easy to understand and to use and at the same time a top performer. StockMarket Eye fitted the bill perfectly. Easy to install, easy to add and organise our investments. No overly technical terminology from either a computer or financial point of view. Glancing through the documentation it looks as though the software is also capable of meeting the needs of professionals. I would underline the very good customer support that goes with the software. It is efficient and quick. Regularly I find myself confronted with operations that I do not know how to handle and their support staff has always replied quickly and clearly and helped me solve my problems. In conclusion let me say that I bought the software myself and have paid to have it updated. If I have given it a glowing recommendation, it is not because I have been paid to do so but because it is really good.

Very good overall with excellent support

There is a very limited selection of portfolio management software for the Mac with good functionality and at a reasonable price. Having tried almost everything that is available, I have concluded that StockMarketEye is the best of the bunch. Most of the other options (Mastock, Investoscope ...) are ok in terms of functionality but rather cumbersome in terms of usability. The support, on the one occasion that I contacted them, was very responsive an courteous. My only gripes, and they are rather minor, are that I would have preferred it if the software was available through the App Store making licensing and registration slightly simpler, and that the interface is in need of an overhaul to make it a bit more modern.
