Excellent Software

2007-09-03
I needed to upgrade my old Quicken Software in order to download information from my financial institutions so I bought this one. It does all I need to do with my finances and does it with ease. The learning curve was short and the HELP really did help me. It does a great job with categorizing by data. I think the average person does not need anything more complex.

So far, so good

I purchased this product to go along with the new computer. I had no problems tranferring the 4+ years of information from Quicken 2001, but that could be due to the fact that the "Geek Squad" came and set up the computer and tranferred the files. This computer has Windows Vista Home Premium and Quicken so far runs fine.

The only thing I do not like about this was the fact that I could not change the home page, so I just made a new tab and put the information I wanted to see on this. When I open Quicken, this page appears and I just ignore the home page tab.

So far, I like this version of Quicken and find that it is not that different from 2001.

Quicken Is a Disappointment

2007-08-29
The problems started when the install routine would not work with my Vista operating system on an HP computer. This is Aug. 07 and Vista wasn't even listed as one of the possible operating systems.

The written materials included with the disk were not very helpful. Overall, the package of materials seemed to be designed for someone who is updating from an older version to the 2007 version. I am neophyte to Quicken and found little to help me understand what the basics of this program are and how one goes about importing the data required from my bank accounts. The choices for this sort of software are few. Microsoft Money is the other big title. Now I wish I had started with it. Perhaps it isn't any easier, but at least it probably would have installed easily with Vista. There may even be free open software that would be better than what I got.

Quicken - You will rue the day you bought it !

Intuit has known for several years that their Quicken products are flawed. The screen flickers repeatedly during use, as it refreshes. This happens with all video cards in XP and is not computer specific. No one has identified a "fix" for the problem. You should Google "quicken screen flicker" to hear the complaints of many people. Quicken has not responded to this problem. Instead, it keeps putting out the flawed product for people to buy. The flicker is very irritating because the display shakes dramatically (I do not exaggerate) and because it happens every time you save a transaction and also whenever the screen is normally scheduled to refresh. The refresh speed on the memorized transactions page is very slow, and the screen refreshes slowly two times for every page down. If you buy this product, you will be very disappointed. Buy something else.

Awesome product

This is a great product especially for keeping track of personal finances. I have heard that there were many people having trouble connecting through the internet but I personally don't feel that that's a very safe practice. However if you are willing to keep up with it manually I truly recommend this product. It makes keeping up with a budget so much easier.

it works with Windows XP Home edition

2007-10-06
I see a lot of negative reviews but the product worked for me. My Toshiba laptop came with an older version of Quicken so I upgraded to this version without significant issues.

I will agree that each new version is somewhat worse than the previous versions but I am able to download my bank and brokerage accounts into Quicken and it does keep the data there for me.

I don't care for the new reports section as no matter how I save a report for one security when I bring it up later all subsequent securities have been added to it. That is frustrating but not a deal breaker.

I'm not a Quicken cheerleader but this is a passable piece of software.
You have to buy the update to print out some tax documents.
Also can't download from Paypal or Emigrantdirect.com

Not worth the money t upgrade to this

2007-09-30
We bought this to finally do an upgrade to our existing quicken 98 and this has been a horrible experience and I am now back to the older version. Very simple problem, 2007 does not recognize the old account currencies and migrates all accounts ot US dollars atthe first installation. I called customer service and was on the phone for over an hour and they tried so many different attamepts and it did not work. I was left with next steps to do myself by re-installing the older version again and then do it in 2 steps using QW 2002 then 2007. I have not done that as I am glad I am back to my original perfectly working quicken 98.
So net, if yuou have used different currencies in your existing version of quicken, 2007 will not work properly for you.

The Vista Trap

2007-09-26
MS Vista will not support your old versions of any Intuit product, such as Quicken or Quickbooks. You are required to upgrade to 2007 products. Quicken Basic is the cheapest way to support the data from earlier products. I do not like all of the fluff that has been added. It interferes with the "basic" system.

Better alternatives exist

2007-09-25
Now the Quicken has demonstrated an ability to consistenly degrade their product and alienate their own user base, I reccomend trying a free service like yodlee or wesabe instead.

Quicken Basic 2008

2007-09-24
I hate this WIN program; my old MAC program is far easy to use. As a matter of fact, I never used Quicken Basic 2008 WIN due to such inconveniences. I failed to import my QIF files from my old MAC Quicken 4, though I contacted Intuit Tech Help several times and their instructions never worked.
