In the age of online banking, who still buys programs like Quicken? $35/year or more? No thanks. They haven't given me any reason to believe that going subscription is going to magically improve the quality of their software. Making it a subscription model is almost an insult to users that had put up with its shortcomings for years. Quicken's software took a bad direction, has bad support, and the quality of their software went downhill quickly. I'm not the only one in the pool and other users/friends have similar issues. Had it worked like that for me that past few years, I would honestly be inclined to consider a subscription, but in my reality they dropped the ball, and hard.
This is all on a 2015 iMac 5K with 64G of RAM so it has way more than enough horsepower to run what should be a lite package. This is all running on a clean-install of Windows 10 used solely for Quicken and Quickbooks.Įver since they re-hashed the user-interface to clean it up, rendering performance took a hit and them removing/modifying navigation buttons requiring my using my mouse/trackpad more often instead of my keyboard was more of a pain. Prior to Quicken 2016, I've never have a problem with online banking. I lost track of the number of support tickets I've submitted to no avail until I eventually gave up. Deactiviate accounts, re-activate online banking, would work, download current, and old-transactions that have already been reconciled, then stop working again, rinse and repeat. Online banking would work for a few sessions, then mysteriously stop working with errors saying it can't connect to my institution (Wells Fargo and Bank of America). How the heck would I know why yours works and mine doesn't? Quicken 2016 and Quicken 2017 (for Windows) both exhibited the exact same problem. So one man’s “disaster” is another man’s functioning as advertised financial app I suppose? Certainly Quicken 2017 is not the be all, end all of banking apps but it isn’t the piece of crap you describe either. As the banks and credit card companies change their security requirements for login it’s a simple matter to update those requirements in Q2017. I use the auto-reconciliation feature all the time.
Bank checking and saving accounts, credit cards, My Stifel Nicolaus IRA and investment accounts all update regularly without issue. Then explain why my “online banking interface” is operating perfectly with quicken 2017.
