I really like this product. I am a former Microsoft Money user, but I am learning this program quickly. It has a nice user interface and most importantly it works! I can easily download info from all my accounts even ones that didn’t work with Microsoft Money. I like the planning function as well you can add categories that you want to watch and adjust depending on changing circumstances. I have only scratched the surface of what the program is capable of, but I think it is great so far.

Years ago, I selected Microsoft Money over Quicken because I found the Quicken interface very unfriendly. With Money now “gone,” I have been forced to switch to Quicken. It’s my worse nightmare. Tasks that used to take half an hour take three times as long because the interface is so unfriendly and confusing. The screen is like something out of a kindergarten finger painting project.

I also have discovered that it won’t let me make new categories — in Business Income, for example — which means I’ll be facing a mess at tax time. Money had its flaws, but it was a far, far better package.

If you can find an alternative, take it. I am considering building my own package in Excel.

This versions adds a few more bells and whistles but builds mainly on a solid product. The ease of use and ability to link multiple accounts, investments, multiple banks, credit unions, and brokerage accounts and update with one click makes the cost well worth it. There are many features that I have not used nor explored. Perhaps this year I’ll expand my use.

Quicken Home & Business 2010 is the best Quicken software that I have had the pleasure of using! Testing this software was really quite simple due to the fact that there just weren’t many bugs to be found. The folks at Intuit were great about listening to suggestions and were eager to hear about any problems that were identified. I really like the way that they have revised the way that your different accounts are presented to you. You can revise this presentation to make it look anyway that you would like. I didn’t think that Quicken could be easier to use than last year but I was wrong! Downloading data from my online accounts has never been easier. I really like the new and improved calendar for scheduling anything related to my finances! Quicken 2010 Home & Business is a great investment! Being a beta tester for this software was really fun and easy due to the solidness of the Quicken paltform!

I have been a beta tester for a number of different versions. This one tops them all. It is very user friendly and you can design it to do as much as you want to fit your particular personal finances or for business. It may just swing you away from Quickbooks. It uncomplicates your business.
