Horrible! June 14, 2006

If you are a loyal user, I suggest you boycott the 2006 & all other versions until they bring the QIF support function back. It is totally useless if one has to go back to entering charges manually since most banks will not be submitting to the strong-arm tactics of Intuit to get more money. Don't they make enough money with their yearly $89.99 version upgrades!
This is truly a disservice to the customer. I have upgraded faithfully since I first began using Quicken products but will be getting a refund of this version.

I'm a first time Quicken user. You need to know a few things if you are just getting started.
First, this is financial software, and it is only as honest as you let it be.
Secondly, read the manual. If this is your first time, you will need some basic accounting concepts in order to make this tool work for you.
If you're like me, you probably bought this to get your finances organized. I found that you have to invest up front, for several hours, your time, to get everything up and going. Use the features it offers, the way they intended it to be used, and you will find it quite easy.
Using quicken will not solve money problems. It will help you find out where your problems really are and how to solve them yourself.

I am a first time user. I did consider myself to be moderately intelligent too but WOW I am lost! I was hoping to use this to get my finances in order but it will take me less time and headache to do it by hand. If you don't like data entry, don't get this product.

I just got Quicken 2006 Home and business and found it worthless. I am a first time user and what a waste of money. It always gives me negative bank account although it is positive. I have a money market account with Vanguard to which my salary is direct deposited, it always consider the deposit negative and deduct it from my account , it didn't even let me put the money market account in the cash flow category. It couldn't get the right brokerage account amount from fidelity. In short I wish I could get my money back. I am wondering if microsoft money is better!!!!
Quicken Screws Its Loyal Users March 14, 2006

Dropping the QIF files (Quicken's own proprietary format) is BIG deal that serves only to rip off loyal users. My bank of more than 26 years provides both QIF and OFX formats, but QIF is free and OFX requires a monthly subscription fee that would pay the cost of Microsoft Money, which still downloads QIF files for free. You do the arithmetic. Add to that, the many institutions that don't provide data in OFX format, but do provide QIF files. Any "technical proficiency" is undone by the unavailability of data, or the unnecessary charges for providing one's own financial data for a fee. Here we are, helping financial institutions reduce their costs by going online and they gouge us further -- like adding fees for using ATM's, or adding fees for using your "debit" card instead of "credit" card to spend your own money. There is no economic justification nor rational reason for doing that, save plain old greed.
Fight back. Get Microsoft Money, which still downloads both formats. Let Intuit get the message of consumer dissatisfaction. Ironic that Microsoft has figured this one out.
