Quicken

Avantages

You are able to setup Quicken to sync transactions with your various bank and financial institutions. If you have the skills and proper data entered, you are able to run reports with valuable information.

Inconvénients

Quicken isn't always user friendly. I'm an accountant who has worked with many financial software, so I can work my way through it, but it isn't always user friendly. I also do not love how Quicken treats transfers between accounts as income and expense.

Avantages

It is extremely easy to use and has very simple and understandable reports

Inconvénients

It is only single entry accounting so it is limited

Avantages

Quicken as reasonably priced and linked fairly easily to my bank account and credit card account.

Inconvénients

I did not like how the naming of charges in my bank account and cards did not line up very cleanly with the Quicken import data. It seemed like I was always scrubbing the data.

Avantages

The value for the price. Compared to other accounting software - it is much more cost effective.

Inconvénients

For a small business it was missing some key components like payroll. Only have 1 employee but payroll is a must.

Avantages

The features and functionality of Quicken meet many of my business. The reporting is simple and easy to apply and access.

I think managing multiple businesses is good with this system. It has more of a scaleable feature.

Inconvénients

there are times when making entries or correcting entries that I think the steps could be simplified. I also think creating custom reports could be easier in terms of formatting them report and customzing to logo and branding

Pourquoi passer à Quicken

Avantages

It is a powerful accounting tool that can provide a visual overview of different accounts.

Inconvénients

We need to reconcile frequently; otherwise, we will make mistakes easily.

Avantages

In theory the ability to manage and track all expenses within one product. Unfortunately, due to constant connectivity issues this is not how the software functions.

Inconvénients

Constant issues with accounts being disconnected or not pulling current transactions from connected accounts.

Avantages

I love Quicken for my personal budgeting of my finances. It can organize efficiently and is a powerful financial tool that provides ease of use.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the application runs slow, but that is more likely a cause of my older computer. The software itself never fails to disappoint, but could sometimes run faster.

Avantages

We have used this for years. Always a trusted program.

Inconvénients

Not as user friendly as other products I’ve used in the past.

Avantages

It is like filling in your check book log

Inconvénients

Expense is growing, no larger discounts for longtime and returning customers.

Avantages

I have used Quicken for 20+ years for personal and business needs. After my 2006 Mac crashed, I bought a new 2022 MacBook Pro and installed the latest version of Quicken. I spent considerable time setting up accounts, bank imports and entering data for the year 2021, and for one reason or another did not enter any new data after tax day 2022. On opening the program today, I installed the most recent update, as one would usually do, after which, I discovered that all my newly entered financial data on this brand new laptop and newly installed program no longer existed. I praise the technical support team for at least attempting, but failing, to help me.The checkbook feature of Quicken for Mac 2007 that this awful program replaced was bullet proof and never failed me in the many years I had used it until the computer itself died. I do not trust that this couldn't happen again, so I am going to switch to a simpler checkbook accounting system that does not nickle and dime you with "membership" fees. Be warned that running their update could cost you.

Inconvénients

That I lost precious data that technical support was unable to retrieve.

Avantages

Quicken has a lot of perks that’ll help you budget well. The automatic features are nice in theory.

Inconvénients

Where do I start? First of all I can’t see anything. Everything is confusing. I don’t know where to start. It always says I’m in the red and gets mixed up. I need something dummy proof.

Avantages

I liked that I could track both my personal and business expenses. I chose the version where I could create invoices for my business and even track my investment accounts.

Inconvénients

I have used this software for many years and my data from previous versions didn't transfer over to some of the upgrades.

Avantages

So there are more use friendly suites out there, but once you get a grasp of some basic accounting concepts then this software outperforms all the rest as it is very versatile for a variety of business entities and can be tweaked to suit your individual needs, unlike may of the competitors

Inconvénients

It costs more than many others on the market, can be a but clunky in certain features

Avantages

I like the account update feature. It saves me a lot of time in recording transactions.

Inconvénients

Nothing really. It does the job and keeps my numerous accounts in order.

Avantages

Full and proven feature-rich with an easy user interface. A new user can ease into financial tracking at any level, building up for a full net worth reporting that increases with expanding use.

Inconvénients

This product will pay for itself with even initial basic use. I can't find any fault with it after over 20 years of use.
