Quicken's hidden bad policy: i have quicken premier home and business 2006. It has some quirks but I have been using it for a year or so and finally learned how to take advantage of its ability to download info from my financial institutions (some still have to be done manually). I just got a pop up telling me that in a few months, I will no longer be able to download this information! What a ripoff! I don't expect to pay good money (not cheap) for a product, put the effort into learning how to use its features and then get a suprise years down the road that some of its features are going to turn off! This should be highlighted in the product's description so the public can make an educated decision when deciding products to buy. This does not speak well of the Quicken brand so BUYER BEWARE! What else is going to show up as a surprise??? -

I just went through the process of installing quicken 2007 and i'm discouraged. After some initial success and excitement, I started getting down to actually using the thing and found it to be horrible software. Very disappointed. This software should not be this difficult...i have a degree in computer science and strong background in accounting. If I can't use it easily I don't know who it's designed for.

You cannot reliably transfer information between the PC and Mac versions of Quicken. Most information transfers, but not all, making such a conversion problematic for any serious Quicken user. I'm looking for an alternative that works with both platforms.

Setting up the accounts was confusing. I have a mix of stocks and IRAs at several institutions. My Fidelity account downloaded easily and accurately, but not USAA or ING. Quicken added a cash account for each account, even when I chose the "no cash account" option, which is VERY confusing. There is no option for "rollover" IRAs to keep track of the cash basis when I roll over my IRA accounts. INTUIT provides skimpy online help and no evening or weekend assistance. This software is great for banking, but it provides awkward, inflexible investment management. I wish I hadn't purchased it.
