This is a must have for any small business owner like myself.

I all way Have use quicken to keep all my personal finance in check

We have used Qicken for years and it has worked very well for us. They now have added so many bells and whistles that the primary reasons we bought the product originally for have been buried.

So I'm a die hard Quicken user who recently switched to Macintoah after getting irritated with Windows 10. I expected Quicken for Mac to be pretty much the same as the Windows version, but I was wrong. First Quicken for Mac does have a good user interface and transactions can be entered quickly, but the reports functionality is not very customizable. It appears that Quicken for Mac skimped on the reports development and basic functions like being able to customize a report is something quite lacking. If one doesn't use Quicken to generate a report of transactions then this would be fine, but for most of the world's users who balance a checkbook with it, it is kind of handy to have the ability to run a customizable report. Contacting Quicken's support I found that there really isn't a way to customize a report the way I used to be able to do in w Windows version. So aside with exporting the data and importing into Windows, the Mac version just isn't quite there yet. It will be interesting if future versions will fix this, Intuit has sold off the Quicken brand and it is unknown if future versions will fix the reports issue or if Quicken will no longer be updated. Overall, if one is fed up with the Windows operating system and attempts to transition over to Macintosh, the Quocken for Mac is a viable alternative. Just don't expect it to do everything one is used to doing with the Windows version.

I have been a long time Quicken for Windows user. About a year ago I purchased an iMac. Because of the terrible reviews Quicken for Mac was getting, I bought Parallels and used my Quicken for Windows on my iMac. Frustrated by the ongoing problems with Quicken for Windows, I decided to give Quicken for Mac a try. Here are my observations. First, Quicken for Mac is more stable and features work. The biggest problem i had with Quicken for Windows is it would constantly drop the linkage to my bank. When I would try and fix it, more problems. Calling Quicken for support was a complete bust. Those days are now gone. Quicken for Mac tends to keep the connections going and should they get dropped, getting them back is no problem. Second, Quicken for iMac seems to not have a lot of the same features as Quicken for Windows, mostly due to the difference in menu options. Quicken for Mac has three menus...the Mac menu for features such as file, edit, etc. and the top Quicken Menu for tasks unique to Quicken and the lower menu for shortcuts such as reconcile. Once I got used to these differences I can honestly say goodbye forever to Quicken for Windows. I am not as up to date on tracking investments in Quicken for Mac and this seems to be the source of many of the complaints about this software. I have not found this area to be a problem and get all of the features I need from Quicken for Mac to accurately and completely track my investments. Overall, I am exceedingly pleased with Quicken for Mac and actually find it to be a better product than Quicken for Windows. I have now converted all of my adult children over to the Mac platform specifically due to this one application.

I have been using Quicken for Windows for years. Recently, I needed Quicken for Mac. I purchased it and was told even though it is a cd I would be able to go on line and use the enclosed license number to download Quicken to the Macbook Pro. There is no way to do this, there is not a license number or serial number available until the software is installed. Intuit says you have to copy the contents of the cd to a usb drive and use the usb drive to install Quicken. Best Buy was kind enough to copy the cd onto a usb drive for me (that normally cost $30). They warned me that it might not work...it didn't. The only other alternative was to buy a Mac compatible external cddrive that I don't need. I ended up buying Quicken for Mac from the Intuit website. It downloaded and installed fine. They did double charge my credit card so Quicken for Mac, at this point, has cost me $229, three trips to Best Buy and a fun filled hour on the phone with Intuit. Just be aware that if you do not have access to a cd/dvd drive for your Mac don't purchase this product.
