Intuit Software (2017)
Customer Reviews Synopsis
Updated from the 2014 version. All was smooth.
Excellent product, price
I have not discovered one thing worth paying for to upgrade since 2013 version. May just be how I use it but I've not been able to find literally one thing that's an improvement.
expected better from intuit
I have used Quicken for almost 30 years. It is the best product for me to use.
Quicken is and always has been great for keeping track of all your financial information from bank accounts to mortgages. I would highly recommend the use of this product for anyone who wants a complete overview of their personal finances at any time.
will used again
Have used Quicken for financial management for years and it's the only one I've found that will work with all my previous years' transactions, so I'm stuck with it. This is in spite of how they now do away with some of the abilities which you can only regain if you buy a new version every few years. So, the software works but I dislike the company.
Quicken 2017 is the best product I have found fro Personal Finances. It installed and worked well. I don't use all the extra features but the basic features work just like Quicken 2014 so I was fine with that. It did require me to "Convert" my files so there is no going back or sharing files with existing 2014 versions, BUT it does allow you to install the product on 2 devices so I can use it at home on my desktop and when I travel on my laptop.
I did not want to use all of the new tools that 2017 had but I found it very hard to work around them. Also it was a pain to install kept getting error messages had to call support and was put on hold for some time. when someone did respond I had to go through about 12 steps to fix it.
I went back to the 2004 version
Love this software, it does everything that I need to do. Takes longer to open program since updates are loaded each time if available.
Upgraded because I have read that you need/have to every 3 years. Does what I need for tracking spending and investments. I haven't seen much that is new - mostly the same.
The user interface is probably the best improvement over earlier versions. The fonts and graphics are now cleaner and less 1990’s like. Under the hood, there doesn’t appear to be many changes. Syncing still has occasional problems similar to earlier versions, including bills like Bank of America. If you have both Verizon and Verizon Wireless accounts, it will get confused. The free credit score function has never worked for me although Mint has no issues.
This program is now very long in the tooth and has likely outlived it’s usefulness.
This is the last version that is not subscription based. The new owners seem destined to kill this program with very high annual subscription fees. With so many quality, free applications out there, it is not worth the cost for new users.
No problems with the download. Excellent price!
Seems to work so far and any new features are probably ones I don't use so I can't review them.
If there was an alternative with better customer support I would get it
That not all Banks work with "Quicken" and you better have some knowledge of Accounting. If you need Customer Support, you got to pay.
Great Product and Price
I didn't want to be forced to an online subscription of Quicken (2018 & onward), so was looking for a good price for 2017. Found it here, great product, good deal, excellent.
This is the last version before Quicken goes to subscription based pricing. I will be finding another financial management product after this.
Handles all of my accounts like a breeze
the product since sold to a new company seems not as good. Will look for a better way to do what I want.Using this product for about 20 years now.
I've used Quicken Deluxe since the middle 1990's. However, I purchased the 2017 version this year because of Quicken's new "automatic annual renewal" policy starting with the 2018 version.
Just as described works well. I been using quicken since the beginning of quicken. I use most of the program as I am a investor and this is the first time I tried the Premier edition. I always used the deluxe version before this. I do not think the premier version is worth the extra money over the deluxe version. There is no other program out there that compares to quicken when it comes to money management. I know there is a lot of bad reviews out there on this product. I think it is more of people not understanding quicken than the product not working well. It has its bugs and could use some improvement but overall it works well for me. I use this program on a daily basis to manage my money and investments and depend on it to stay informed.
Easy to install and was just what I was looking for in a quicken product
Purchased Quicken 2017 because it didn't require a yearly subscription fee. I've been using Quicken since it originated. It's sad that they went to a yearly subscription with the latest release. Hopefully this will last at least three years otherwise I may opt out and choose another product from a different vendor.
Just the same as previous versions of Quicken.
As expected
Quicken is a very poor program, it is not user friendly, primarily in managing loans ... does not amortize them and additionally it is not easy to create usable reports nor to establish categories or subcategories you want. I really wish Microsoft Money was still supported as it is so much more robust and user friendly. In addition it wants to be a subscription service which is unwanted.
Excellent choice.
Works well. Good....
Upgraded because of requirement to finally go to Windows 10. As usual, there are things I like better about the previous version. Happens every time.
I have used Quicken in the past . I will not buy this product in the future . I will not pay for a subscription to Qucken for service I already get for free .
Good product at a very good price.
Easy install, updating previous Quicken Deluxe 2015. No need for more expensive annual cloud subscription until 2019-2020.
Quicken still does not handle Covered Calls and 2018 Subscription Idea stinks
I upgraded from Premier 2015 to get out of the annual fee for as long as possible. Program does not seems to have many new benefits outside of mobile functions, which suck. For the mobile side, I would like to enter receipts because I live on the road and it would greatly reduce the time when I get home entering everything. Maybe you can do it, but I haven’t figured it out yet.
Bought this to upgrade from 2015 (threatened - as usual - to cut off downloads in April, 2018), and 2018 product is only by subscription, so I ordered 2017 to get 2 more years of non-subscription product. The subscription price is higher, with a shorter duration.
After the mess a couple of years ago with Turbotax deleting forms from packages to force you to a higher level product, you would think that they would have learned their lesson!!
Not cool, Intuit.
I was glad to come across Quicken 2017 after I learned Quicken was moving to an annual subscription the year I needed to replace my Quicken 2015. I was a little concerned since I usually purchase updates but this installed well & I just had to download updates after it installed. The installation went well. I'm not thrilled with Quicken 2017, nor was I thrilled with Quicken 2015, but I am happy to not have to go on the subscription for 2 more years.
So far, I have used it briefly, works well.
I always use TurboTax Home and Business. Never had a single issue. Always easy and quick.
I buy it every year. Will continue to do so as long as it is available.
Highly recommend this product. I have used TurboTax exclusively for my tax preparation for many years. Easy to use for all types of returns. I wouldn't trust my return with any other tax prep. software. I will definitely use it again.
I've been getting this product for years and it's always been helpful, accurate and easy to follow the instructions.
Highly recommend, great deal for tax time! Great price for the software! It works as it should!
TurboTax is ... TurboTax. It gets it done. And at this price, it was so worth it. Full price seems to be a bit much.
Have been using this for years!
I always use TurboTax. I’ve tried 3 other software companies. I always go back. This time I’ll stay with them.
Use Turbo tax every year
Great
Taxes are VERY complex, and Turbo Tax guides you through the minefield, which is all you can ask.
This version seems more stable than recent prior versions. Some features are easier to use, several are more difficult, but overall, this version was a slight improvement over 2014 Quicken I had been using.
I hate that I have to buy a new version every 3 years to keep features functioning, but unfortunately there is no real competition for this product. I tried using Mint and also Personal Capital online products but neither provided what I was looking for.
