First time to use Quicken. Was getting ready to order but now concerned after reading reviews. Any thoughts?

I have been using Quicken for about 10 years. It is generally OK, but not spectacular. If you are starting fresh and setting up new accounts, you'll probably be fine. But, the latest update from 2013 to 2014 has been very problematic for me, starting with One Step Update not working properly, and some strange entries being made all on it's own. Quicken tends to "fix" things that aren't broken. I might try Microsoft Money, or maybe some other accounting software if I was just starting out.

I'd be careful. I know nothing about "testing," but I ordered it and took it for awhile. I stopped because it seemed to be making me jittery. Caveat emptor.

I have recently read a number of pretty negative post concerning DB Roth. I placed two orders with DB Roth through Amazon this passed December. There were errors with both orders. My previous orders from them were error free. Both of these recent orders were resolved very quickly to my complete satifaction. I have no qualms in trading with DB Roth.

Extra $100 for 4+ employees. I just called. It's a bit of a hassle if you already have a payroll subscription, like I do. First you have to cxl your current subscription, then install the payroll disc and then call and they charge you the full whack ($429) for enhanced payroll, then credit back the value they assign to the enhanced payroll of 3 or fewer employees ($329). SO, if you get the enhanced payroll for less than $329 off the shelf (i.e. Costco or Amazon), then you decide if it's worth the hassle. From everything I've read, the 2013 QB Pro is not something to be super excited about, and may even boggle your brain due to poorer visual interface, new report menu format, etc. I'm thinking about getting the Value pack and if I can do the payroll only, and without simultaneously upgrading the QB Pro, then that's what I'll do for now.

Since $250 is less than your purchase price I would not risk it without contacting squaretrade. I would simply go with the $300 plan so you know you're covered.

I am sorry but I don't use quicken. I'd say if the same one in the stores qualifies then this would too.

I thoroughly tried Quicken once and it seemed to me much less convenient than Money (maybe because I got used to it already). Lousy interface, not possible to work with different currencies etc.

You have to buy checks specially designed for quicken. There are suppliers other than Q. Otherwise they work fine.

I too want to order. It does make me nervous to pay first before you can get to the gift message box. In fact I did pay and never did see the gift message box. Just thanked me for my order of which I then proceeded to cancel. They may be nice collars, but I'll look for a better site that clearly states where to enter your info

I just use quicken to write checks and balance my checkbook. I know there are many more features but I don't use them so I don't know the answer to your question.

yes you can. you have to order the checks that are made for Quicken. Are you planning to use Quicken for personal or for business? If you want it for business I recommend QuickBooks instead. It does a better job with reports.

Quickens website says it has a build-in converter for Money 2007 & 2008. No mention of earlier versions.

There is a huge market for a financial management tool that works. It might take another year but there will soon be a replacement by a vendor that cares and will fix the issues that have made the Quicken and Turbo tax experience so painful.

The Deluxe version definitely does, I just looked. I initially had Quicken Starter, but I never did a file import. ... because after I had it for a couple of weeks I received a great update offer from Quicken to the Deluxe version. I know this does not answer your question directly, but I can say this software package is incredible. I do a lot with the Deluxe version.

I had Quicken 8 and lost my old system. I ended up with windows 8 (or 8.1) and ordered the Quicken Deluxe 2011 with hopes that it would work. It does work quite well. There are a few things that I have had to adjust to and a couple things I can't find but all-in-all, very successful. Hope this helps.

I don't think do if u are expecting auto deductions... like taxes, insurance premiums, etc..and then tracking of such deductions .. quicken is a database ..

I got it from the Q for under 400.00 (incl. tx, s/h) and on 5 ez-pay installments. EZ pay helps & makes up for having to pay s/h & tx. A friend of mine has 1 & he says he likes it, so I'm looking forward to receiving mine--especially for the internet apps. I still can't figure out why AMZ doesn't have it available yet. Seems it will be old technology before they get a supply.
