Quicken Deluxe 2010 customer reviews: Quicken Deluxe 2010 up grade I've been using Quicken Deluxe forever. This version is an excellent upgrade and solved the problems I was having with Quicken Deluxe 2003. Not Very Good Bought this from Staples yesterday. Already packed up and ready to ship back to Intuit today. This software isn't user friendly and the interface is clunky and all over the place. If you have used previous versions, I would understand people having no problem with Quicken. However, coming from using Microsoft Money which was easy and straight forward with a very organized and clean interface, Quicken just didn't stack up at all. Being that they are now the only real private financial software on the market, I am sure they will have no problem, but I would rather use my Outdated four year old Microsoft Money version than this product. Very disappointing for the normal hefty price. Wrong info is worse than no info at all Like many people, I bought this product to start the transition from MS Money due to Microsoft's discontinuation of MS Money next year. I have been running both programs side by side for two months. First I should say that I started by importing my MS Money files into Quicken and I don't know if Quicken would function differently setting it up from scratch. The import was comprehensive and Quicken imported and displayed nearly 100 different accounts from MS Money that had been "closed" in Money. Quicken does not have an option for closing an account, only deleting it, so I had to make some choices if all that old investment, credit card, ex-spouses, etc. info was of value. Quicken also imported all my Money expense and income catagories. The problems started immediately when I did my first login to my bank. In MS Money I schedule ahead six months of bills to be paid through my bank when they are due. Quicken defaulted to "auto bill pay" and told my bank to pay all those bills immediately -- day one (saturday) my checking account showed $18,000 in the hole. Thank god my credit union didn't process the requests and called me on Monday to verify I really wanted to do that -- they said it is a common Quicken Quirk. Rule one -- TURN OFF auto bill pay before you have it connect to your bank. I wish I had even one good experience to report but so far only more and more problems. It takes 3 times as long to enter data in Quicken than it does in MS Money. Quicken is really just a modified spreadsheet and I am confident I could do the same in Excel and in less time with greater accuracy. Quicken duplicates bank downloads and bill payments. MS Money has a clean display that identifies all bank downloads in all displayed accounts and gives you the option to accept or assign each one to a specific existing transaction (Money gets the default right 99% of the time and you just click and verify). Quicken appears to randomly assign and/or duplicate these and you literally spend hours scrolling through the archaic spreadsheet display (with tens of thousands of entries in my case) trying to find what it did with those transactions (it attached several to transactions over 10+ years old!). Quicken also seems to randomly assign categories to transactions and seems to default to earlier categories (most of the bill categories default to the apartment I had as a grad student 15 years ago) and the program doesn't seem to learn the new assignments or categories. Of course, you can turn that feature off and manually enter it all but if you have to do that what is the point of having this over a standard spreadsheet? The account balances displayed have no relationship whatsover to what is really in the accounts even though the program always displays the correct downloaded "bank balance" -- I know it has something to do with today's date but still can't make sense of how it comes up the bizarrre "current" balances. Wrong information is worse than no information at all. The most annoying bug is that the program does not remove itself from memory -- my system crashed and burned the first week from "out of memory" errors and upon running Windows task manager I found dozens of copies of "qw.exe" running. Now every time I run Quicken I have to ctrl-alt-del after I exit the program and manually remove it from memory. If you think this program will replace MS Money you will be sorely frustrated and disappointed. Running these side by side, I find it takes less time to manually download the individual accounts from my bank (all 29 of them) and then upload each one into MS Money (which will work even after Microsoft discontinues support) than to take the crap shoot with Quicken's quirky and unreliable bank synchronization and random entry assignments. This really is one of the worst programs I have ever seen and it actully may do more harm than good -- once again, wrong information and data is worse than none at all. If you can find a copy of MS Money, BUY IT. It takes less time to do the manual bank account downloads/uploads than to wade through Quicken's quagmires and quirks. Otherwise use your existing spreadsheet and save yourself the expense and frustration of Quicken. 2009 was much better - regret upgrading I was using quicken 2009 and installed quicken 2010. I actually have a lot less functionality now. 2009 had a lot of interesting charts to show me my investment and spending trends. Although you can still generate reports, there isn't as much data shown to you as a default. It is as if they tried to really dumb it down. The worst thing is that it converts your quicken file to something new so now I can't go back. Hopefully people at Intuit read this page and will see all the one star reviews. Forced I have been using Quicken for years, since 2004, and really like the product. Easy to use. However,what I don't like is Intuit stops supporting it after 3-years and forces you to purchase a current version (2010), which is never really much different than the one in use (2007). This is especially true, if you want to continue to populate accounts from online financial sources. I also use Quickbooks and have to do the same with that program.
