1 out of 5 stars Slow Slow Slow   September 7, 2010
Gregory P. Alford (Chicago Suburbs)
I have a screaming fast computer. Raid 10 drives, I7 processor, Lots of fast memory. The only thing that runs slow on this computer is Quicken. And I run a lot of different software programs on this computer. Sure can't recommend this. I wish there was an alternative, but since there is no Microsoft Money, these jerks have an undeserved monopoly.


1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT   April 24, 2010
F. Ganter (Tampa, FL USA)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I am a computer professional who has designed and used software for many years. As such, I can say with authority that this software is some of the most poorly tested software I've seen from a name company (Intuit) in years.

As many other people have done, I attempted to switch from MS Money to Quicken 2010. I had read some of the poor reviews of recent, prior Quicken products and hoped that Intuit had addressed some of the issues with the 2010 release. Unfortunately, they have not.

The product is very slow on my extremely fast PC (running Windows 7). It takes over 10 seconds for memorized accounts to show when entering transactions. Frequently, the application freezes with a "not responding" message that goes away after 20+ seconds.

Of most dissapointment is that it's very buggy when trying to enter information. Both on-line payees and bill payments allow me to enter information, but after pressing the "OK" button on the appropriate windows, Quicken 2010 sends me back to the entry window with no error message and does not enter the information. (That's a BIG problem.)

As other posts have indicated, the support is very bad. Intuit's Web site has "24x7" chat support, yet when trying to use it on multiple occassions, I get an error message saying "an agent is not available". I need to try phone support. Unfortunately, the hours are limited. As well, email support has a 48 turnaround, which is not conducive to having to pay bills on weekends.

I'd like to think several of my problems are because I imported data from MS Money. However, I've seen multiple negative posts that suggest it's not Money but it's poor software development at Quicken.

I strongly suggest you consider alternatives to the product and let me know what you find! ;)



2 out of 5 stars clunky, slow, annoying, but functional   April 22, 2010
Tyler Forge (Sunnydale, CA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

OK, it does what I bought it for, mostly, eventually. I got out of the quicken habit many years ago when I didn't upgrade. My previous experience was that the the software was fine but that intuit was annoying in that they never lost an opportunity to market to me or install unwanted crap on my computer. Well, my new experience is that they did manage to miss a few annoyance opportunities but have addressed those problems. I wish they had paid as much attention to shipping a better product.

Seriously, this version is slower than the one I used in 1996 and that was on a computer from that era - about 250 times slower and smaller than my current one. The new quicken doesn't download account data any better or faster in spite of the broadband versus the old modem connection. It's still doing the slow agonizing one account after another thing too. The user interface feels positively sluggish. Note, this is on a brand new laptop that is otherwise fine.

Having run software organizations, my suspicion is that quicken is a legacy product that no one at Intuit is comfortable programing anymore. They do their best to adapt to new versions of windows, but that appears to be about all. Other than that, they bandage what they must to keep this cash cow a-milking. They probably don't even have a product engineering team in place anymore. Nothin' there but marketing folks and a product manager pairing up phone support contracts with the cheapest possible suppliers. They will however, find new and innovative ways to market to us.

Good for them, they have a monopoly and are willing to use it.

Hmmm, this market is starving for a competitive product ...



1 out of 5 stars Money Users, Don't Do It!!   April 15, 2010
William L. Yates (San Antonio TX)
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

OK, I've been an MS Money user for years now, and I've gotten used to the little quirks and agonizing slow downs, but when I learned Microsoft decided Money was not profitable enough and dumped the product, I thought I might go to Quicken to make sure I got support and upgrades, etc., And Quicken did advertise that importing Money files was "no problem" so I took the plunge. It was the software equivalent of driving off a cliff. Quicken does a TERRIBLE job of importing Money files; giving you a laundry list of items it didn't import, another list of things it changed "slightly" and then presented me with the sloppiest interface I've ever seen! I am amazed that this is the leading financial software. Consumers will settle for anything these days, I guess. I could go on about the nightmare that was an upgrade to Quicken, but let me just say two things, If you are an experienced Money user, DO NOT buy a Quicken product! And DO NOT buy a downloaded software product from Amazon! They are non-returnable! Period! Even if the Software is guaranteed by the manufacturer.
For the record, the Quicken product I purchsed was 2010 Home and Business.
This is a dreadful product! Save your "Money"



2 out of 5 stars Quicken 2010 help appears not up-dated   March 23, 2010
C. Andrews (Fairport, NY United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I posted a frustrated review after several hours of not being able to import Quicken 2010 data into TurboTax Online. The Quicken help-chat supervisor, my 4th chat contact, was very helpful, and the problem was ultimately solved. But, along the way, he pointed out that the misleading/confusing instructions from the Quicken help file were not up-to-date for the 2010 version. Ignore my previous, longer, review.
