Total FAIL, what are alternatives?

Great for normal people, not big time stock players.
by amy1440 on October 19, 2011
Pros: Super easy to download from Charles Schwab, Chase, Fidelity, Capital One. Gives a great summary of my investment account but isn't too detailed. So if you track your investments daily, this is not the program for you. But if you want a summary of your
Cons: I really don't have any.

Abysmal product!
by NavyCWO on October 14, 2011
Pros: My wife says it "looks pretty".
Cons: Slow, very "PC" like, you can't even prepare and print a reconciliation report after reconciling your account(s)!
Intuit apparently "started from scratch on this product and the programmers wrote the code without any input from person(s) who'll use the en
Summary: a) Don't waste your money on this!
b) Continue using the older version as I am doing with Quicken 2006!!

Someone at Intuit should be fired
by wtbixler on May 12, 2011
Pros: Pretty pie charts
Cons: Can't export data file back to earlier Quicken versions if you decided you don't like Essentials
Can't export Excel readable files
Very limited reporting compared to Quicken 2007
Completely different interface with no clear improvement

Horrible, Horrible, Disappointing, Gutted.
by reeltime on March 28, 2011
Pros: NONE AT ALL. Quicken has gutted this product.
Cons: Removed Bill Pay, excepting a pay option. No printing checks any longer.

Summary: Quicken has in one "upgrade" removed all of the key features that made it such great software in the past. Wells Fargo and other banks will no longer support Quicken's Bill Pay under Quicken for Mac 2007, as of May, which leaves you having to upgrade to the newer less-featured software, or losing Bill Pay altogether (unless you want to pay a fee) and printable checking. With one software release, they are essentially gutting the Mac platform for their product.
Mac users-- it's time to move on. I won't be using Intuit products in the future.
