"If you don't use this with Quicken, forget it"
Pros: Adds asset value to Quicken
Cons: Too many to list
Summary: I read terrible, yes terrible reviews about this software, but I really wanted something that would integrate with my Quicken Home & Business 2008 Software. It does what I want in that it adds transactions to the Home Inventory and it adds asset values to my net worth. As a standalone software, however, it is really pretty bad. I have 2GB of memory with an AMD 4800+ dual core processor running XP. Not the newest, but not slow either. This software is sluggish for sure. It uses about 40MB of RAM and my CPU load is only 1-3%, but it runs as if it is using over 256MB of memory and 50% or more of CPU load. Installation was not hard, I already have net framework 2.0 installed. You need it to run the software and I know that Net Framework 2.0 is a huge installation in itself. At any rate, my installation took literally under 1 minute. That was the only fast part.
Adding items is slow. The descriptions for the software features is deceptive to the consumer. You can only add picture files for receipts, etc, NOT .pdf. Quicken H&B allows attachments of .pdf files which is one of its best features.
If information has come via email, you really are stuck. The reading space for notes is minuscule and they won't show up fully on a report. The only way around is to print, then scan to a .jpg file which is a waste of time and paper.
Features are bare minimum. Reports only have 2 choices: Summary and Detail.
I know I will be much better about adding items to inventory as they are put into Quicken H&B because of the integration, but as I said, if you don't need that feature, look elsewhere!
