The old-school layout may not bother legacy users or those who aren't put off by blocks of texts and charts, but others who have come to expect graphic representation of their data and clean design--say, the likes of former competitor Mint. As with past versions, Quicken Deluxe pulls in financial data from your banks and savings accounts.
There are tools to create graphs and reports to itemize spending and banking, and to plot transactions on a calendar. There's also a debt reduction planner and a tax-planning wizard. Quicken could use a few more online social Net links, too, such as an option to sync reminders to an online calendar. Intuit isn't blind to consumers' changing expectations in management software, online or offline. Quicken 's refurbished look does help, and conservatives who feel more comfortable keeping monetary details stored locally on their PCs rather than encrypted in the cloud lose nothing by downloading a free trial.
For strictly online users with only personal finances not investments, property, or small businesses , Intuit offers a free, online version that's similar to Mint. Quicken Online has budgeting, tracking, and reminders, encryption, an iPhone component, and the added capability to prep the data for tax time, assuming you also use one of Intuit's TurboTax products. If you've used Quicken before, you can import data from previous years. The same goes for anyone switching over from Microsoft Money.
With Microsoft Money killed off additional details , Quicken is the best desktop alternative. Service and support Quicken support is unchanged from previous years. E-mail support is free, and Intuit promises to respond within a day. Chat help is also free and is available However, some support calls are free, such as if you're having problems installing the program or converting data from earlier Quicken versions.
Overall Quicken Deluxe remains a useful, if not exciting, management app equipped with rich balancing and budgeting tools. As for the future of Quicken , Intuit's recent acquisition of flashy online finance manager Mint. Mint's exciting visual style could also draw younger users to future versions of Quicken, assuming Intuit goes that route, making future versions of the classic, but dated, money manager truly fresh.
Manage your personal and home-based business accounts together in one place, including baking, credit card, loan, k , and investing accounts: Quicken downloads your income and expenses from your bank s , brokerages, and financial institutions, so you don't have to enter transactions manually. Quicken offers a clear and organized picture of users' complete financial information, including spending and bills, in one place. Coupled with an updated bill reminders tool, this transparency lets users take control of their financial lives and avoid costly mistakes,such as late fees and missed payments.
If you don't want to use the desktop software, and prefer a web version like what you get with Mint , you can have that now. But I prefer the app over the web version.
Instead of being under reporting, most of the things you'll care about are actually available by clicking on the 'Acccount' sidebar - for example, your income and spending isn't viewable under 'Reports', but it's actually visible under 'Banking'. Here's another example. One silly thing that's missing is having income and expenses together on one page. I think there is a report you can run, but there's no easy to access dashboard that compares your income to your expenses except in the mobile app, which is odd.
Quicken for Mac dramatically improved their investment tracking for , but this is one area that didn't continue to improve into There are still issues here. When I imported my accounts, some positions transferred the cost basis, while others didn't. Not a huge deal, but very odd. Also, it's still missing key reports that I valued in the Windows version - most notably the asset allocation and ability to play with your allocation in the program.
My guess is that Quicken calculates this in the program, versus using historical data. That is a good thing in that you get a real snapshot of your performance, but a bad thing in that you need the Quicken app to consistently update to make it happen. If you check the comments below, you can find other frustrating experiences with the investing tracking in Quicken for Mac. It has so much potential, but it's just not there yet.
The Quicken for Mac mobile app is probably my favorite feature that has been improved. This app has existed since the last few versions, but I found it glitchy years ago and gave up on it.

Editors' Review shelbybrown Jun 3, Features Quicken's core features continue doing what they've done for years: chiefly, importing your financial information to help you automatically and manually track your spending and savings.
The Quicken product line gets a prettied-up interface that provides an at-a-glance summary of your finances. Some tools, like the bill reminder, are still a tad clunky.
