| I was wary of trying this when I saw all of the bad reviews, but after buying and using it for 4 months, I don't regret purchasing it. True, it seems a little disjointed, but once you remember that you use the program by using the top menu bar and do your navigation that way and through the little windows on the screen, one gets used to it. But remember, this software wasn't written for Leopard. I had no problem what so ever using it. |

 "A LITTLE DISAPPOINTING" | 2008-09-29 |

| I have used Quiken for Windows in the past and have always been very impressed with the way the product worked and how easy it was to use, but I have to say I was extremely disappointed in the Mac version of Quiken because it was much less sophisticated than the Windows version and the majority of my Banks and investment accounts did not allow for downloading or internet access with the Mac product. |

 "Quicken 2007 Mac Fails Like Other Versions Before" | 2008-09-15 |

| My Quicken Mac 2005 data file was acting strange when I would download security updates. After updating security prices, many of my security prices would disappear altogether making a mess out of my data file. I tried all the fixes as per the help file and nothing worked. I decided then that I should upgrade to Quicken Mac 2007, the latest version as surely Quicken in the two years since, would have fixed whatever the problem was that was occurring with my old 2005 version. After purchasing the 2007 version and installing it, I was having the same problem. There was no difference in the 2007 version. I then decided to call Quicken Support. They explained to me that they would help me, but that there was a substantial charge for telephone support and that I should utilize their no cost email support. I tried that and they explained that the support I needed could only be done via their telephone support. I telephoned again and they refused to help me without charge. I guess my ten years plus as a loyal Quicken customer is not important to them. |

I've used Windows Quicken comfortably for years. It was good enough. I've changed to Mac because of a crashed Windows computer and this has been truly painful. The data importation created 3 versions of some entries but not others. With no ability to sort by amounts I've had to tediously remove the duplications. It has different names for capital gains/ dividend etc and doesn't explain what these new labels mean.
At this point I'm ready to just use my Windows laptop. I've never rated a product this lowly ever before. |

| If you're considering switching from Windows to Mac, you need to either cross Quicken off your list or forget about your old data. I have years of financial data that simply disappears or becomes corrupt when attempting to convert it from Windows to Mac Quicken. The best Intuit will do for you is charge you to reset your balances (seriously!). We decided we'd just start with new books, but then found the Mac version so be so short of features compared to the Windows that we simply abandoned it and now run Windows Quicken on XP under Parallels. When we can find a Mac product by *anybody* that can import the Quicken data, we're kicking Intuit to the curb without regret. |

 "Quciken from Win to Mac" | 2008-08-31 |

After using Quicken for Win for more than a decade the Mac version is disappointing. I have gotten used to it, after much effort, but I do not understand why it is missing some of the functionality. I think the Quicken team should be embarrassed about the difficulty of moving from Windows to Mac. I never did get it right. I highly recommend following the suggestion on the Quicken site but even then it is a painful process.
If you are starting from scratch on the Mac this version should be fine. I am becoming more accustomed to it. It certainly handles the basic checking and savings just fine. I miss the attachments function. My loan accounts did not port over. The reports are better in Windows. Some of the investment functionality seems to be missing, though my basic brokerage account works fine.
In the end this seems to be the only option for the Mac anyway so I guess the Quicken folks can be neglectful. |

| Moving from a windows version to this version it takes some getting used to, but I now enjoy it. It is not as robust as the windows version but it gets the job done. The only frustration I had was I thought I could migrate my files over, but learned this is not an easy accomplishment. I decided not to which means I need to keep my old computer for historical records. |

Quicken 2007, along with all Quickens for Mac, is another example of why monopolies are bad. There's no competition for personal finance software on Macs. As a result, the functionality of Quicken 2007 lags that of the Windows version where Quicken has to compete with Microsoft Money and other programs.
For example, I have an asset management account, which I have to qualify as a brokerage account. I have many regular payments coming in and out of that account. But because it's a brokerage account, Quicken won't let me use the Schedule Transactions feature. With the increasing popularity of asset management accounts, there is no reason for not enabling this feature.
Also, when downloading transactions, I do the One Step Update. Only that's a misnomer, as once it downloads the transactions for all of my accounts I need to do go a Download Transactions screen to review them. It's a pain. |
