1Quicken doesn't care about customers anymore  Oct 31, 2008
I too was forced to upgrade to 2008 from quicken 2005 because they were discontinuing support of bank updates, etc.

After 13 years with the software, I have never had a problem with an upgrade until now. There are bugs in the software that have caused my accounts from 2006 to be unreconciled (they were fine before the upgrade). Quicken ignored my first two contacts with support (I have them two months to respond each time). I finally sat for 90 minutes with a "chat consultant" who did not understand how Quicken worked.

I am not sure what I can do now, they won't support their own product and I have to find something else and hope I can get all the data transferred.

I would not recommend investing in Quicken if you are just starting, maybe Microsoft Money cares if customers are able to bank with their solution.

4The best program on my computer  Oct 22, 2008
I've got lots of good programs on my computer, but Quicken 2008 Deluxe is the best of the best.

Several years ago, I was horribly in debt, and didn't see a way out. In fact, I wasn't even sure how in debt I really was! I decided to track everything in Quicken for a while and see if that helped.

Five years later, I've retired almost all my debt, and I never miss a payment anymore. I know what's coming up and when. I know to the penny what resources I have available to me. And tracking my 401(k) has gotten vastly easier, even though I can't track by NAV anymore through my company's plan.

I don't think the savings program is nearly as intuitive as they say, and I find that, with certain accounts, I have to re-load my download information on a regular basis, but, overall, I don't think I could be more pleased. I use this program twice a day, every day.

I also know within hours if someone has made unauthorized use of my accounts. This actually did come up a couple of times, and I was able to spot it and resolve it very quickly, thanks to Quicken.

As much as anything else, I like that I don't have to call dozens of phone lines to figure out where I am financially every day; it's all at my fingertips.

2Resource Hog  Oct 04, 2008
I've used Quicken for at least a decade. I was forced to upgrade from Quicken 2005 because Intuit nukes the online banking feature in older versions. It left me little choice as I've become dependent on online banking. There was a rebate on 2008 so it was cheaper than an older version, plus I can expect that this version will nuke itself in three to four years as well and I want the most for my dollar.

I'm running a 3ghz dual core machine with 4gb of ram and a 512mb video card and this program is slow. Every entry is followed by flashing screen as the application updates the calculations. Textured graphics and other wasted "features" fill the screen in some misguided attempt to make Quicken appear to be more than what it is, accounting software.

Intuit has me and they probably know it. I'm not at all interested in going through the hassles of transferring to a new system, so when this version decides to self-destruct I'll be there at the checkout again with the latest and greatest bloatware offering from Intuit.

I can only imagine how horrible this software is for older computers.

My advice is to avoid using Quicken at all, because once you're in it will be difficult to get out.

1Turn away if you want to convert from MSMoney  Oct 01, 2008
I switch to Quicken after Money was time to renew. I have 13 years worth of data need to convert. I thought it would be as easy as description. Turn out it is an endless nightmare. For months, yes it takes long time to fight with errors (lots of data missing and mismatching) and limitation.

1. Can't change the account type. You can't just convert from bank type to cash account. Once you made mistake, you have either delete the account or live with it.

2. Automatic download is not supported for all the financial companies. A big company like Fidelity 401K.

3. The import and export really suck. You can only export account to qif file, and import qif, web account, and their tax software. Theoretically, if you can export qif file, you can import the same file back to quicken. Wrong, as far as I know, they only allow you import cash account type. You credit card accounts, brokerage accounts, and bank accounts are not in this case. Many financial company allow you download statement in QIF format, which is not importable to quicken.

Needless to say, it is just a piece of junk. Keep away from it. It has been a problem from the past version. I doubt 2009 will improve that any bit.


4Good Product  Sep 23, 2008
Quicken 2008 Deluxe [OLD VERSION]I was pleasantly suprised to find that all my old Quicken 2002 data loaded with no problem onto Quicken 2008 Delux. Well worth the price. Only negative is that it has a tendancy to freeze when backing up to a flash drive. But I find it to work very well otherwise.
