 Nice Features But Unusable Due to Bugs July 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Avoid this software at all costs. I'm a long term Quicken user (15+ years) and, though they keep adding nice features in terms of reports, views and tools, they are unusable due to problems like the software using up 100% of the P.C.'s CPU without ever letting up. When certain views are selected, the CPU will go to 100%, with Quicken being the culprit, and it never lets go. Only terminating the process by way of the Task Manager is your only lifeline. Even then, it seems that Quicken leaves the P.C. in a bad state. I've only had this problem with Home & Business 2008.
I do have to agree with the other reviewers in that there are other quirks that leave you feeling less than confident about how Quicken handles your financial data. This was never the case with version from the 90's. They've tried to add too many features and have given little attention to software quality.
If you are thinking about this software for the first time - forget it! If you have a migration path away from it - take it!
 Pain in the rear to get started. Need accounting background... July 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a small photography business and use this to keep books.
Takes some serious effort to get started and the help files are worthless for understanding how to set things up.
Get a good book on accounting and you should be okay.
CONCLUSION:
Takes some work but is an okay solution.
Quicken gets worse with each version--I'll never buy it again July 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've purchased at least eight versions of Quicken and I will admit I only used them when I absolutely had to. Now, I really need the kinds of features that Quicken claims to have and I am extraordinarily, completely and utterly disappointed. The interface has gone from mildly annoying to completely opaque and illogical. I am happy to say Intuit/Quicken will never get another dollar from me. The lowest rating I am allowed to give this program is a single star, negative stars would be more appropriate.
 Hard To Figure Out July 4, 2008
I like the things that Quicken does, I just have a hard time figuring out how to do them. I need a "Quicken for dummies" book to go along with it!
 Don't always believe the bashers. July 1, 2008
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Unfortunately, most people who have a problems want the world to know, so they bash the product. Every computer and EVERY product is going to have issues sometimes. I've used Quicken for nearly 20 years. I've tried MS Money and, as a bookkeeper, many other bookkeeping types of software. There is nothing on the market that is better. Quicken does everything it says it does. It's easy to use and understand. I download all my credit cards and my PayPal accounts into Quicken 2008 with issue. I scan and attach all my receipts to their transactions in Quicken, so they are easy to find and print out when I need to return something. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because Quicken still has advertising in the software, which I think should not be part of a product we have to pay to use. There is not other software that gives me everything Quicken does and I would be lost without it. I've NEVER lost a file and in 20 years Quicken has only crashed two or three times. I update my older files every other version or so, so that my files from 1989 can be opened in the 2008 version. The software is AMAZING, and the Home and Business version at this price is a great deal. You be the judge, not the rantings of problems I've never seen in 20 years of daily use or unusual computer issues of a very few.
