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.)

After years of inconsistent connections, it's now able to consistently connect to most financial institutions to update activity and detailed investment brokerage transactions. Reconciling your accounts is very easy if you can maintain a consistent electronic connection with the financial institutions housing your accounts. Good syncing to the cloud using a relatively useful mobile app (mine is an Android phone). Plays nice with Microsoft's OneDrive, as a means of backing up your data. Manages to perform well even if your database includes decades of financial history. Most features operate intuitively and, when you have a question about something, there's a good community of fellow users to help with support. Good reporting capabilities, including the ability to create and update custom reports and to export their results to Excel. Good ability to create custom invoices and to manage client accounts and track client-based projects if yours is a small business. Good integration to a couple of other financial products offered by Quicken.
