Complete and total trash

Pros: Nothing - it sucks

Cons: Everything - it sucks

Review: This is horrible software. Difficult to use, when it starts doing what you want, it is very slow, and once it is "done" it just gives you an error message anyway. Throw it in the trash bin. Then you e-mail them and they tell you it's a great product. Not funny.

'Downloading Quotes' posting to wrong date

Pros: Turbo Tax interface

Cons: "Downloading Quotes" posting to wrong date

Review: Quicken 2007 Deluxe Release R 5

I have over 20 securities with about 15 years of buying and selling of dozens of securities in the database, all done from the beginning in Quicken.

I am an experienced Quicken user (cash flow and investing) and investor.

Quicken is posting downloaded prices to the wrong date. Example: Monday 9/3/2007 was a holiday, the markets were closed. Tuesday evening after downloading current quotes, Quicken updated prices for 9/3 and 9/4 with the same price for stocks. Mutual funds were updated for 9/4 only.

This causes ?Portfolio View? to show no daily activity for dollar or percent changes for stocks. The total portfolio value is accurate but I really want, ne need, to also see the daily activity.

Buggy to all heck

Pros: nicer graphical displays

Cons: Flickering interface locks up video card

Review: I wish I had read the user reviews before I upgraded! I had no issues with my previous version but was being bombarded with upgrade messages and had the cd so I thought, what the heck?

Buggy is all I can say, but for only one reason so far - and only because the one reason keeps me from using the product! There is a horrible issue with video cards. The application does little more than constantly flicker, or refresh - possibly enough to invoke seizures! The support (little that I dug up) states to adjust the speed of the video card to the lowest setting. I only took it down a couple of notches to no avail. I wasn't about to change it for the one application that is having issues.

I demanded a refund, and was told that it's been processed. I will give them props there as I thoroughly didn't expect that to go over.

Stay away

2004 worked, 2007 is badly broken

Pros: pretty interface

Cons: download no longer works

Review: Interesting business plan -- force satisfied users to ditch a product that worked to upgrade to a product that doesn't work. Downloads worked fine until I installed 2007 -- there are no answers on the support forums, just disgruntled users sharing bad experiences. The knowledge base solutions simply do not work. Where the hell is Intuit in all of this? Don't they care about what they have done to people to make a few extra bucks off of the forced upgrade from 2004??!

Quicken Dlx 2007 R4 - stay away

Pros: Not sure it has any Pros

Cons: Buggy - Very sure of this!

Review: I do not want to say anything but I would suggest that before buying Q2007 to check out Quicken Forum site at:
http://www.quickenforums.com/thread.jspa?threadID=800001451

Then make up your mind. That's it folks. My 2 pennies.

Not a Good Product

Pros: Easy to install

Cons: Full of bugs

Review: I'm new to financial software and I cannot believe how many bugs this product has. I keep getting connection failures due to Quicken server issues and my bank accounts won't update properly. Reconciling is a nightmare. Not happy with this product at all.

User Rating: 1/10

Stick with older versions if you're satisfied with them.

Pros: Satisfactory interface

Cons: HORRIBLE tech support (especially from India)

Review: I upgraded from 2001 Deluxe thinking that I would get more features and an improved program. Not so. It doesn't calculate splits of prin & int on loans. Only does simple things fairly well, like track your paycheck. Not worth the money.
