CNET editors' review
Quicken Deluxe 2010 price range: $47.97
- Reviewed by: Jessica Dolcourt
- Edited by: Lindsey Turrentine
- Reviewed on: 10/14/2009
The good: The Quicken 2010 product family gets a fresh home page that makes setting up a personal home finance operation easy. Quicken now also automatically categorizes expenses.
The bad: Many second-tier tools are clunky and text-heavy; Quicken junks up the desktop with extra shortcuts.
The bottom line: Quicken 2010 is a solid finance package, especially for novices, but offers little that's substantively new.

Purchase price is NOT all you'll pay! 9.95 download fee
by kclarkadpi on December 28, 2009
Pros: nothing. It is frustrating from every end.
Cons: In order to download daily transactions from my credit card company, and many other major companies, the company charges a 9.95 per MONTH fee to do so! Otherwise, you're stuck only downloading the statement at the end of the month.
Summary: I was forced to switch from Microsoft Money b/c it is being discontinued, and Quicken was the obvious fallback. I hate Quicken 2010!! They charge fees to banks to ...
Summary: I was forced to switch from Microsoft Money b/c it is being discontinued, and Quicken was the obvious fallback. I hate Quicken 2010!! They charge fees to banks to use the auto download feature, and many companies are passing on that fee to consumers. $120 extra per year is ridiculous! I WANT MY MS MONEY BACK!!! I tried to get my credit card company to waive that fee, and was told that unless I have a bank account with them, too, that maintains over $5,000, there was no way to waive the fee. There are a few companies that do not charge a fee to use this service, but it's at the company's discretion, and you have to search REALLY hard to find that information on their sites! I wish I had another alternative, but I feel cornered.

Beware,banks that synch with online version don't work
by kevinpdee on October 17, 2009
Pros: I don't see anything helpful, given my inability to do downloads for virtually all important accounts
Cons: My bank and retirement plans won't communicate with the program, even though they worked with MS Money and the free online Quicken
Summary: I was a MS Money user for years. Just bought Quicken Premiere 2010 after tinkering with the free online Quicken. I?m really upset that most of my financial institutions ...
Summary: I was a MS Money user for years. Just bought Quicken Premiere 2010 after tinkering with the free online Quicken. I?m really upset that most of my financial institutions don?t have available synching/transaction downloading, including my two retirement plans: TIAA-CREF and New York State Deferred Compensation Plan; and my Capital One checking and savings accounts. The setup screens declare that it?s ?Unavailable.?
Capital One worked with MS Money and the online Quicken. The bank's website says that it works with Quicken, but they must mean the free service or older versions.
You should check on your institutions before you buy Quicken 2010.10 out of 11 users found this user opinion helpful.

Forced Upgrades if You Download Transactions
by rfriedmanosu on January 9, 2010
Pros: Easy to use (2007 Quicken) convenient transaction download.
Cons: Forces you to upgrade overtime if you download transactions.
Summary: Given all of the horrible reviews for 2010, I'm not going to upgrade. I'm angry that I'm forced to buy a new version every 3-years just to ...
Summary: Given all of the horrible reviews for 2010, I'm not going to upgrade. I'm angry that I'm forced to buy a new version every 3-years just to continue with transaction downloads. I've been sticking with my bank to maintain this capability - I think its time I change banks and stop upgrading Quicken. It's just not worth it to be forced to buy bloatware software that crashes, poorly designed, not backward compatible, and requires upgrades to maintain functionality. It's not worth the aggravation. Too bad - Quicken you greed has lost you a customer of 20 years... I've had enough.

Useful & Consistent, & Still The Best
by Elder Geek on October 15, 2009
Pros: Continuity for previous users (like me); setup is eased for 1st time users; categorization of expenses is improved; interface is a bit cleaner; price is still a good value for what you get.
Cons: Review wasn't kidding about large blocks of small text in some areas; I detest all the ad-based tie-ins; help system still a mixed bag - some excellent, some not so much.
Summary: I've been using Quicken for over a decade. I skipped the last version, which means with Feature Creep (the constant adding of new features to justify a new version) ...
Summary: I've been using Quicken for over a decade. I skipped the last version, which means with Feature Creep (the constant adding of new features to justify a new version) I was nervous about upgrading; too much change too fast can make a necessary task even more unpleasant. I needn't have worried.
The new Quicken cleans up the interface in a few areas, which makes it easier to work with AND easier on these tired eyes. If you are a previous user, importing your data is painless - even if you do as I did & do a clean install on a new system & import your data file, rather than upgrading over the old version.
I'm not sure what the other review here was referring to, as Quicken will work with the majority of financial institutions. I have changed banks several times over the years & Quicken has worked with every one of them. It's true that some banks allow Quicken to directly integrate & pull data automatically, while others require you to export the data so you can import the file into Quicken - but that's not up to Intuit, that is up to the institutions themselves.
Goal setting for savings and/or large purchases is a breeze, & the reporting features are excellent. Overall, it is fast & easy to see all your day-to-day financial activities in one, easy-to-understand place.
The help system is still somewhat hit & miss. It is actually stronger in the area of finances than it is when you need technical help with the software, which doesn't bother me (a 19 year IT veteran), but might annoy those not as computer savvy.
Speaking of annoying: Hey Intuit! I bought your product. Stop inundating me with ads, tie-ins, promos & icons all over the place. Your target audience consists of those who want to do better managing their finances; stop trying to take advantage of them.
Overall, Quicken is still a fine product that does what it's supposed to do, & does it very well. I consider it an essential application that keeps improving, even after all these years.9 out of 13 users found this user opinion helpful.

Doesn't work with Windows 7 which it is supposed to.
by binhad33 on January 14, 2010
Pros: I was using Quicken Deluxe 2008 previously and purchased 2010 because it supposedly supports Windows 7. This was a mistake.
Cons: It doesn't work with Windows 7 and their support is a joke. I tried to print checks, which I have been doing for at least fifteen years, using older versions up to and including Quicken Deluxe 2008 in Windows Vista. This version doesn't print checks.
Summary: I just bought this and tried to print some checks, which it wont do. I chatted with two different tech support individuals and it was obvious they didn't know ...
Summary: I just bought this and tried to print some checks, which it wont do. I chatted with two different tech support individuals and it was obvious they didn't know what I was talking about and were of no help. Check printing is important to me because I have a tremor and can't write. I have been a long time user of Quicken and was a Beta tester in the early days but, I'm fed up now.

seriously this is the best Intuit could do?
by another 1 bites the dust on January 8, 2010
Pros: it uses colors well, it ... works (i suppose)
Cons: it is not intuitive

Summary: tried it .... hate it. i don't have a really complex financial need, but seriously i can't split a transaction to show that i picked up household items at target and ALSO received back X cash back. I also can't link a hand entered entry with a downloaded entry (ie: if i enter starbucks in the register and quicken downloads the transaction as starbucks+store number i can't link these two together). The bill tab doesn't have a place to enter the account number for the bill -- seriously? so now i have to dig out an old bill to get my acct info or go online to get the bill info).....

Wish File Format was More Open-Source
by benjimen on December 4, 2009
Pros: Easy to use on whatever level you choose.
Cons: Over the years, Intuit has taken away the capability of your financial service to provide transaction info via QIF files for free. Now, if they want to offer Quicken format files they have to license the capability from Intuit.

Summary: Over the years, Intuit has taken away the capability of your financial service to provide transaction info via QIF files for free. Now, if they want to offer Quicken format files they have to license the capability from Intuit. Many still sync and some sync with billpay -- but now for either a fee or stipulation, like requiring your paycheck be direct-deposited with them (like B of A). Some of the smaller guys just dropped Quicken support altogether, like my employers 401k provider --- it's a bummer entering all those different share purchases manually now :(
Now that MS Money is out of the way, there is no real competition for Quicken -- and no reason whatsoever to return to the days of financial institutions freely offering your transaction data in the Quicken format.3 out of 3 users found this user opinion helpful.

I think it is terrible
by marday on November 1, 2009
Pros: Regretfully, nothing.
Cons: It crashed every time I tried to update my stocks.

Summary: The "online" icon gave me the tax summary. I could not set up a new online account. The system crashed every time I tried to update my stocks, it crashed everytime I tried to update my bank transactions. When I asked for help, by e-mail of course, they did try to help. I was given a lot of different things to try, none of which worked for me, and were very time consuming. I finally deleted the whole thing, which is no easy task by itself getting everything off the computer, and reinstalled my 2007 edition of Quicken home and business. I trade stocks for a living and depend on Q to keep everything in order, tax wise. The only reason I updated is because my 07 edition wont give me tax projections past 2007. I can live with that. I honestly did not find one thing I liked better in Quicken 2010 Deluxe than what I have in my 07 edition. I feel very fortunate that my backup copies got my 2007 Quicken back to where I had it. I am in awe when I buy a new Lexus and I think, how can they keep making this thing better, but they continue to amaze me and improve the car. I wish I could say the same for Intuit and Quicken. I cannot.

Summary: Quicken has now decided that you cannot import most of the information from your old computer into your new. Can't import checking accounts,savings account, etc., etc. Nor do they tell you about this restriction until after you've bought it. Outrageous!
