What our customer's say!

"Waste of time", This is a bad program designed to fatten Intuit and leave the purchaser with little of value. I have used Quickbooks for many years but i am sick of Intuit and its greedy business practices. Impossible to download data even with a QIF to OFX conversion program.

"acomplish all my needs", i have a small construction buissnes and it is just perfect for it easy to learn easy to enter information and to see it. im happy

"A much needed update!", I have been a long time user of quicken and MS Money but always seem to gravitate back to quicken. However I have not been very happy with 02 and 04 versions of quicken. They were buggy, ran slow, had issues with downloading data.

The pin vaults were a complete disaster and the investment tracking tools were below what Money offers. However I got a deal on this version and I couldn't pass it up. I figured if it was not any better than forget quicken and MS will get my nod.

But boy how I am impressed. The flawless upgrade procedure was nice and even though quicken has added new features its ease of use still remains. The software is even more intuitive and most users will never need to use a manual.

The biggest pros however are the speed increase in just about everything. The program loads quicker, downloads are fast, even transitioning through my multiple accounts is quick. Quicken has finally gotten quick again.

One last comment on the hoopla between QIF and QDF. QIF files are older outdated ways of storing data. They cause the program to run slower and have needless information. QDF files are fast and efficient, I just wonder why so many people here are complaining about a much needed upgrade. This is akin to you complaining that your new computer doesn't have a floppy drive. Come on folks get real I still have not found any financial institution (Bank, Credit Cards, Investment houses, etc) that doesn't support the better file format.

I highly endorse this upgrade!



"Hard to understand.", The original 30 minutes I devoted to setting up with info was the easy part. This program is tough to learn or understand. I have no problem with Photo Shop, Flash or Quick Books Pro but this is crazy. I'll try something else.

"Not Bad, QIF Can be Made to Work", I have used several previous versions of Quicken, 98 Standard and 2000 and 2003 Home and Business. I thought 2003 was more style than substance, and 2006 simply continues that trend. Very little functionality has been added in the last few years, just prettier menus.

Still, it works. I agree that the invoice formatting options are limited, but Intuit really wants you to use QuickBooks for that, anyway. As for the QIF file import problem, simply create an Asset account and call it "QIF Import" or whatever. Download the QIF file manually and import it to that account (allowed for an asset account), then cut and paste the transactions into the proper account. You may even be able to set up the asset account for direct download. A pain, I know, but it beats entering the data by hand.

At any rate, Quicken Premier Home & Business 2006 functions as well as the other recent versions. It just requires a little finesse to work around Intuit's artificial, revenue generating obstructions.

"Quicken Screws Its Loyal Users", Dropping the QIF files (Quicken's own proprietary format) is BIG deal that serves only to rip off loyal users. My bank of more than 26 years provides both QIF and OFX formats, but QIF is free and OFX requires a monthly subscription fee that would pay the cost of Microsoft Money, which still downloads QIF files for free. You do the arithmetic. Add to that, the many institutions that don't provide data in OFX format, but do provide QIF files. Any "technical proficiency" is undone by the unavailability of data, or the unnecessary charges for providing one's own financial data for a fee. Here we are, helping financial institutions reduce their costs by going online and they gouge us further -- like adding fees for using ATM's, or adding fees for using your "debit" card instead of "credit" card to spend your own money. There is no economic justification nor rational reason for doing that, save plain old greed.

Fight back. Get Microsoft Money, which still downloads both formats. Let Intuit get the message of consumer dissatisfaction. Ironic that Microsoft has figured this one out.

"Worest ever Quicken Home & Business", I have been using Quicken H&B version since version 98. In general, I have been a happy camper. Last month, I got a warning from inside my 2003 version that the all on-line downloading feature would be discontinued in April if I don't upgrade (they call it "retail" or something like that). So I bought the 2006 version without much research and hesitation judged by the past upgrade experience. Boy, what a mistake! First, I cannot import the qif data from my credit union and bank any more. Then I got an error saying the data downloaded from one of my credit card companies was saved in a account no longer existing in my registry, what's going on? Then there are data problems with my investing accounts. I basically spent 5 hours "fixing" the data. This is getting ridiculous.
If you are upgrading, my suggestion to you is to do thorough research first. If you are start from scratch, forget it, look for something else.

"Deep Disappoint with Quicken Premier Home & Business", I have been using MS Money Deluxe since 1999 and Taxcut tax software so I've been upgrading my Money software each year. Money has some problems so this year I decided to change to Quicken small business. BIG MISTAKE!!!! Quicken has changed it's bank download format and is charging banks thousands of dollars to use the new format. My credit union said they will not use Quicken's new format. They do have the QIF format available. In Quicken's advertising, if you look carefully enough, you will discover that you cannot use the QIF download format for checking and savings accounts. What I find strange is that I used Peachtree in the small company I used to work for, I took a Quickbooks class at my local Tech school, and this problem of Intuit changing their standards never came up. I also found the look and feel of the Quicken pages confusing and different from Quickbooks and MS Money. My recommendation would be that IF your bank will offer the new Quicken format that you will be satisfied with the changes. Personally I am dissapointed, and had looked forward to changing to the Quicken, Intuit software.

"don't change banks, change financial programs", Intuit's decision to switch file formats, stop supporting the popular old format, and charge banks to present users with the new format reeks of greed and a complete disregard for customer satisfaction.

The need to enter transactions by hand renders the program unusable. The skimpy in-program support and non-intuitive interface make the program unpleasant as well.

"Easy upgrade from Quicken H&B 2003", I had a lot of hesitation in migrating my current version of Quicken 2003 Home and Business to Quicken 2006 Home and Business. You never know what can happen but my primary financial institution is making the switch and it is a required change for continuing to use their online services. I have to say that I was relieved that I have had no troubles with the upgrade and all of my existing online integrations with other financial institutions also continue to work as before.
