More Microsoft. The most active new feature in Quicken takes a stab at automatically categorizing your transactions, like assigning Safeway to the Groceries category and your doctor's visits to the Medical category, with a little help from you if there's any doubt.
In implementing this feature, Quicken plays catch-up to savvier online management apps, like Mint. A new infographic in Quicken also helps you avoid late fees by displaying both how much cash is left in your coffers and which upcoming bills you should brace for. Apart from the bill reminder and the autocategorization, it's Quicken's top layer, and select tools, that see the benefit of Quicken's design changes.
Scratch the surface, however, and many of the app's second-tier tools--text-heavy calculators, planners, and lists with tiny font--feel as if they haven't been updated for years. The old-school layout may not bother legacy users or those who aren't put off by blocks of texts and charts, but others who have come to expect graphic representation of their data and clean design--say, the likes of former competitor Mint. As with past versions, Quicken Deluxe pulls in financial data from your banks and savings accounts.
There are tools to create graphs and reports to itemize spending and banking, and to plot transactions on a calendar.
There's also a debt reduction planner and a tax-planning wizard. Quicken could use a few more online social Net links, too, such as an option to sync reminders to an online calendar. Intuit isn't blind to consumers' changing expectations in management software, online or offline.
Quicken 's refurbished look does help, and conservatives who feel more comfortable keeping monetary details stored locally on their PCs rather than encrypted in the cloud lose nothing by downloading a free trial. For strictly online users with only personal finances not investments, property, or small businesses , Intuit offers a free, online version that's similar to Mint. Quicken Online has budgeting, tracking, and reminders, encryption, an iPhone component, and the added capability to prep the data for tax time, assuming you also use one of Intuit's TurboTax products.
If you've used Quicken before, you can import data from previous years. The same goes for anyone switching over from Microsoft Money. With Microsoft Money killed off additional details , Quicken is the best desktop alternative.
Service and support Quicken support is unchanged from previous years. E-mail support is free, and Intuit promises to respond within a day.
Chat help is also free and is available However, some support calls are free, such as if you're having problems installing the program or converting data from earlier Quicken versions. Overall Quicken Deluxe remains a useful, if not exciting, management app equipped with rich balancing and budgeting tools. As for the future of Quicken , Intuit's recent acquisition of flashy online finance manager Mint.
Mint's exciting visual style could also draw younger users to future versions of Quicken, assuming Intuit goes that route, making future versions of the classic, but dated, money manager truly fresh.

However there is hope for reports junkies as Quicken Inc claims that there is a new reporting engine being used in Quicken which is already being used in the Transaction, Comparison and Transaction reports along with the standard portfolio view. This suggests that the addition of new types of reports is in the pipeline and could be easily added in future updates to Quicken For subscriptions to Quicken Deluxe and above, if you cancel your subscription or it expires, you will still be able to view, edit, export and manually enter transactions and accounts.
Quicken will continue you inform you of changes and updates to the product. The move to a subscription only model means that some users will feel even more uneasy than they already do about Quicken having more control over their financial data.
However, even with a subscription, you can still prevent Quicken from storing your data online although it does mean losing access to certain services. If you want to make sure that your accounts are now uploaded to Quicken Cloud then you must disable Quicken Connect, Mobile Sync, Alert Notifications and any Clean-up Payee options you may have activated.
If you still want to be able to download transactions from your bank, you can use Quicken Direct Connect instead which is a direct connection between your bank and Quicken which bypasses Cloud storage.
Alternatively, you can use Web Connect which downloads a QFX file from your bank or financial institution and which you can then upload to Quicken. You have to phone customer support to deactivate it. Be warned that at the moment, you may face long waiting times on phone support as the release of Quicken means the lines are much busier than usual. You can install Quicken on as many computers as you like as long as they are tied to your Quicken ID. Initially there was a 3 computer limit but Quicken Inc has revised the Quicken Terms of Use to remove any mention of this limit shortly after the launch of Quicken However, all versions will be limited to the functions and settings that are configured for your Quicken ID such as Credit Score etc.
When it comes to Cloud syncing, this is more limiting than the old Intuit ID system which allowed you to create a new separate ID for each data file so you could have multiple credit score for multiple accounts. If you therefore used to have different family members or colleagues using the same version of Quicken as you but with their own account, Cloud syncing separate accounts under one subscription will no longer be possible.
The launch of Quicken has already seem some pretty competitive pricing mainly between Amazon, Staples and Office Depot. Retailers are currently the only ones offering two year subscriptions — you can only get one year if you buy direct from Quicken.
In fact all versions of Quicken purchased via Amazon are offering the exclusive 3 month extra and 15GB extra Dropbox storage deal. You can however also buy it online from vendors such as Staples and Office Depot. Be aware that currently, all vendors outside of Quicken are selling the CD version of Quicken It just means that you will be shipped a physical box with an installation CD in it but within the box, there is an activation code with a URL to download Quicken from so that you can also install it without the CD.
If you buy from Amazon or a high street retailer website such as Staples or Office Depot, you will be emailed an activation code. Purchases direct from Quicken do not require any activation code. Note that as yet, there is no version of Quicken on the Mac App Store although this will probably be released soon.
