Quicken Deluxe NEW Subscriber Personal Finance – Manage your money with your First Year Subscription to Quicken (Windows/Mac)

I have used Quicken software for 20 years to track my investments and transactions. They were cutting edge when it first came out and were the leader for a long time. They lost their way, probably after they were sold to a private equity group. I stuck with them because changing is a hassle, or so I thought. After yet another issue dealing with downloads from a particular brokerage that would require me to reset my accounts yet again I decided to make the switch. It took about an hour to get set up with an cloud based finance company and it is actually easier to use and more informative. I should make made the switch 5 years ago.

This version is just a poor excuse to changing to yearly subscription fee with no significant improvement to the former 2016 edition under Intuit.

In the past renewing Quicken, or subscriptions, was only needed if you wanted updates. Those days are over. I just found I couldnt log into Quicken as it wouldnt accept my login info. (It was correct.) Resetting password left me with the same problem. I contacted support and was told the only way to fix it is to renew my subscription. As I dont use, need, or want the online features thats not going to happen. So Buyer Beware. If you dont renew, at some point they will disable your abilty to use it.

This is only for NEW USERS , USERS THAT HAVE NEVER PUT QUICKEN ON THEIR COMPUTER .

I love this software.

I have used Quicken since it was a dos program but I really dislike this yearly pay to use yearly fee!!

Im math-handicapped, and we keep everything finance in Quicken. Data entry is easy, fields are clear and well-arranged, easy to use. Search feature is very useful looking for past entries. You can make charts and graphs and calculate investment figures. its the only program Ill ever use.

I use Quicken to track my finances (banking, MM, and CDs) and investments (brokerage and retirement accounts). I want all my data stored on my PC and back-ups, I do not store anything in the cloud, nor use online portfolio trackers. I hand enter my transactions, only downloading quotes. Quicken Deluxe adequately supports my usage habits. I do NOT like the subcription-basis of Quicken and would prefer a return to the stand-alone purchase and upgrade very two to three years for improved versions. I am actively seeking a non-subscription substitute for Quicken.

I have been using Quicken to manage my finances for as long as I can remember. Today, I am not sure I can trust this product. It is as quirky as can be, and I dont feel my information is safe with a company that doesnt seem to use quality assurance engineers to validate their product. Trying to do something as basic as resetting an account number after a credit card breach, is simply impossible. The application keeps looping through useless steps, never achieving the desired outcome. The application is increasingly slow, maybe because I have over 30 years of records. It crashes more than it should, and goes through weird convulsions where the different windows change size, disappear, reappear, God knows why. Now and then, it will get stuck in a loop that requires a forced kill of the app to get out of. This happens often when doing an online update of all accounts, where you download entries from your bank accounts. Sometimes, something as simple as adding a new credit card account is also impossible. The app will simply not recognize the new account online. Im sure there are tricks to get through all these hurdles, but why does it have to be that way? Quicken has been out for ages. Isnt time we get a stable product? Quicken has a feature to track investments and update transactions by downloading them from your online investments accounts. Once again, this feature falls short. It is quirky at best, and definitely not intuitive.

read Felix Buzzard review. Its exactly correct. My Im a user of more than 30 years. The program retains the same clunky interface it started with back then. However, Ive not been able to find an alternative. Let me know if there is an alternative that can handle multiple accounts, downloads from financial institutions, reconciliations, and investments. Its become unbearably slow. Many reports of slowness have been logged on the companies web site. Before you but, I suggest you log into the discussion group, search for slow. The results suggest there has been a pervasive and persistent degradation of performance. Quicken seems to take no responsibility for the poor programing, and continues to make the problems worse.
