Techincal Support is not there evenings or weekends Pros I am upset.
I get no service when I need it and no refund when I asked for it. I would not recommend Quicken to anyone. Cons I tried to work in Quicken to get my accounting reconciled at year end. No one is working in the evening or weekends. The only time someone can get help is during normal business hours. My subscription through April 2020.
I asked for refund and I was told 30 cancelation window only. So, there you have it. NO support and no money back after 30 days.
Think Twice before signing up for their services. Very disappointed. Good but not great Pros Fairly simple to use and has lots of features.
I really like that I can make invoices as well. The reporting is well featured and intuitive. Cons The thing I don't like is that I've been with their tech support a few times. They are terrifically slow. For example, I'll chat with them online and literally spend 3 hours at a time and get no where. Eventually I have to go because I have other things to do.
Then a few weeks later another 3 hours. In the end they blame it on a corrupted file. They refused to help me with that. Quicken for personal use Highly recommended for everyone to use for tracking their personal finances.
You can check your net worth growth annually. Check and to help keep track of your investments. Prices of stocks and values update automatically.
Annually you can update the value of other investments. Pros Easy to set up.
Simple to check your net worth, investments, loan balances, check accounts, etc. I have used Quicken for personal tracking of investments for 40 years. I have recommended Quicken deluxe to my son and nephews for tracking their investments & annual net worth growth. Some investments update automatically (stocks). Cons Sometimes too time consuming if used for personal checking accounts if several checks are written. I enter my checks in bulk at month end to make it easier and less time is required.
New updates for Quicken are available every year. I usually do not update every year.
