Review: Purchased Quicken 2003 home & business converted MsMoney files over okay but after you close Quicken then open software back up it then reverts to Quicken 2003 Deluxe. Tried several different ways to get around problem. Also tried Intuit tech support but got nowhere. Am going to try MsMoney 2003 deluxe & business.

Summary: Quicken 2003 often crashes
Review: Quicken 2003 often crashes complaining about lack of memory even though I have 128MB of RAM. When it does crash, it requires the machines to be rebooted. Intuit should fix their memory leaks. I have used previous versions of Quicken without such results.

Summary: THIS IS THE RELEASE TO AVOID
Review: Quicken 2003 Premier H&B is not a substantial improvement over the 2002 package. The 2003 release transforms the transaction database making compatibility with a prior release virtually impossible. Under 2003, Intuit has chosen to make the desktop interface excessively busy and eliminated the default snapshot view of many usable resources (i.e. watchlist view, etc). Performance-wise, the 2003 package is quite demanding of system resources and will introduce delay into transition among the various information management functions. Simple functions such as deletion of alerts invokes sluggishness and, in my experience, requires the user to exit Quicken in order to observe the requested "delete" action. This is the release to avoid.

Summary: Great new feature...
Review: The best part of 2003 Premier is that you can schedule it to download your info from your bank and cc companies. This is great because my bank charges if I download my info more than 8 times a month. This feature saves me $.

Summary: Terrible Upgrade
Review: This company wants you to call a 900 number or provide a credit card for billing for even answering questions about their software. Does that sound like a company you want to deal with? If you find this too hard to believe just call with a technical question and see what happens.

Summary: No LAN
Review: Though I use this product exclusively, I am disappointed that Intuit does not support file sharing of Quicken data between computers in my home network. It would really help. Do you think that this will ever come to be?

Summary: So complex....you'll never get it to work.
Review: Too much stuff, most of which no one needs.
Seems to try to get you to pay extra $ per month for Ebill pay,
when all you're signing up for is to download your banks data.
I've stopped using it. My bank's on-line system works fine.

Summary: Buggy Software and a Terrible Interface
Review: Where do I begin with all the issues I've had. First, Quicken 2003 was unable to import my old Quicken 2002 files. It appears some data corruption was the cause. So I spent hours moving my data over manually. What a nightmare. Once I finally got to use Quicken 2003, I was disappointed in the upgrade. Personally, I didn't see much difference from my 2002 version. I had really hoped that the new version would be a big leap in usability, as the promo material promised. But Quicken 2003 still suffers from an incredibly hard to learn and understand interface. I'm really good with computers, but getting all my accounts to balance out just seems impossible -- and I've spent days determined to figure it out. Then the fun began. First, I attempted to transfer my Quicken data into Turbotax to make my taxes quick and easy. BIG MISTAKE. For whatever reason, Quicken doesn't transfer all the data you need to Turbotax. If you read the fine print buried in the help manual, it warns you about this. So when you go to do your taxes, it's almost impossible to know which data transfers and which doesn't. So you end up either entering data twice or not at all -- my taxes were off by over $800 using the automatic data transfer!! Eventually, I just gave up and entered all my data into TurboTax manually. So what started out as an effort to save time quickly became a huge WASTE of time. Then Quicken just stopped printing on me. I had to uninstall and reinstall the program several times to get it working again. I would have called technical support, but they CHARGE for technical support, even if the problem is a bug in their own program. I tried the online chat, but that's was just awful. Halfway through, the tech support guy told me that I had to close Quicken... which in turn closes the chat window! So I had to start all over again. Nightmare! In the end, all these issues add up and make me believe that this program is not worth the money in any way, shape or form. I'd save a lot more time just using an Excel spreadsheet.
