What do you like best about Quicken?

It integrates easily with my bank so all of my purchases are quickly added to Quicken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken?

I do not like when Quicken automatically fills in sections. Sometimes it tells me one of my purchases is identical to a previous one even if it isn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quicken?

Quicken is a fantastic tool for aggregating all your financial information into one place. It has a pretty good direct link system to most major banks and financial institutions to get up to date information quickly. The one thing that sets it apart for me is the ability to put future transactions into a particular account's ledger, giving me the ability to "see into the future" of my finances. You wouldn't believe it, but that functionality is not widely available in any of the other financial tracking tools/apps I've tried. (And I've tried a LOT of them.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken?

The thing I disklike the most about Quicken is the disparity between the desktop and online versions. I do not like having to synch my desktop file with the online version simply to see all my data on the web. Even when it does synch, the online tool is not nearly as functional or easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quicken:

If you have the desire to input future transactions to get a clear idea of future balances in your accounts, Quicken is the way to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quicken solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quick has solved my problem of projecting my finances in an all-in-one platform with all my financial accounts. I do not have to manually enter any data except for accounts that are not available for connecting into Quicken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quicken?

Quicken is the go-to software for a lot of businesses - keeping track of accounts, inventory, every nitty gritty thing. For businesses that have inventory and want to tie in their banking accounts and dig down to the penny, this is great software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken?

But to be honest, I needed something tied to Real Estate Property Management. While the program has some features that do these sorts of things, quite frankly, it is just too much. The learning curve is steep. You can get lost in features trying to understand what would pertain to your business and what wouldn't. I didn't want a program to tie into my bank accounts - I just need to know about my buildings, my tenants and be able to log information quickly and access it just as quickly. I needed a document archive as much as I needed information about tenants and rents. And it cost too much - the high price of the subscription model was prohibitive over time. Some services I am happy to pay for, some not so much. I wanted it easy to log receipts and keep them in the program, track expenses and payments, and across multiple platforms. Quicken isn't quite like that. Almost - but not enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Quicken:

If your business has inventory, this program is the bomb. For Real Estate and Property Management, it just isn't and I would look elsewhere. The time it takes to set up can be cumbersome. I am sure once it is, it will run like a dream for years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quicken solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quicken tracks expenses and keeps track of money like no tomorrow. If I had a business that had inventory, this would be my go-to. Being tied into my accounts and tracking all the money, this program excels at that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Quicken?

I love that they have a Mac version!

Cost is in-line with what a PC user pays, as well as it is less than other Mac accounting software.

Easy to install and update regularly without significant disruption.

Customer support is helpful and quick to answer calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken?

Generating IRS reports and bank required documents are not there.

I would like to see more business functions and abilities, such as creating invoices, P&L reports, and other documents Banks/Businesses/IRS require. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Quicken solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software is excellent for the personal accounting needs: business income totals, individual income totals, where am I spending my money, categories for Income tax preparation, etc.

Creating new GL (general ledger) accounts is pretty easy too.

Able to see where the money is coming from and going; helps with budgeting and financial decision making.

I look at estimated income taxes and can quickly review how I have labeled my items for business expensing and income. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it to keep the books for the professional office building that I help manage. It makes it easy to keep track of spending. 1099s are easy because you can right-click on a payee and instantly know how much you paid to the payee during the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
