3.0 out of 5 stars Not much new here, October 10, 2009

By 

OC Resident (Huntington Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quicken Deluxe 2010 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I purchased Quicken 2010 Deluxe today from a retail store. I believe the official release date is tomorrow, but they had it in stock for sale, although it was hidden in a corner of the store with only a few copies, so not exactly a big promotion. I installed it in about 10 minutes on my Vista laptop without any issues. The installation process first removed my Quicken 2007 software, installed Quicken 2010, checked for updates over the internet, and then converted my Quicken 2007 data file. The entire process went very smoothly.

The interface in 2010 is slightly different from 2007, but mainly just different colors and slightly different graphic formats. Other than that, I've poked around just about every feature to look for something that this product does different from 2007 and could not find much of anything. The only convenient change that I have noticed so far is that when I back up my data, the data is now contained in one file, rather than having six different files associated with the same backup.

For the price,I guess it's good to know that my software is three years newer, and likely has been tested under Windows 7 so that I will be able to upgrade my operating system in the near future without any issues. However, this upgrade confirms that you really don't need to purchase a new version of Quicken every year. Once every three years was more than enough here, and unless Intuit comes up with some revolutionary new tricks for their software, I suspect the next time I will be writing about Quicken will be in 2013.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is Intuit out of ideas?, October 15, 2009

By

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Quicken Deluxe 2010 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I upgraded from Quicken 2009, installed on 64-bit Windows Vista. No problem while upgrading or data transformation. I used it 3 days and saw following changes in Quicken 2010 -
1. Now I can configure which tabs to show on main panel, options include Bills, Banking, Investing, Planning, etc . I was waiting for this feature, not a big deal but kind of handy when you want to get control of what you want to see.
2. Now Quicken is creating one data file instead of multiple files it used to create for 2009 version. So easy to carry / copy data files.
3. Startup time has improved.
4. Look and Feel of user interface has changed.

I don't know if Intuit made any important under-hood changes or security upgrades but releasing products every year without any significant changes in user experience doesn't make any sense to me. They are also forcing people to upgrade every 3-years, that is very short product life cycle. I think Intuit is out of ideas or solid release plan for their products OR may be only interested in $$

I would say that if you are using Quicken 2008 or 2009 then you may not find any WOW changes unless you are facing any issues with your current version. If your quicken is not automatically downloading data from internet because of sunset policy, you may try this - Many financial institutions allow you to download data in Quicken web-connect format, you can download that on your PC and then import that in your quicken, just one manual step.

I gave 4 stars to this product because it is doing what it is supposed to do and if you are new user then you would like it but 0 stars to Intuit and it's policies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed and Intuit will not refund!, October 15, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Quicken Deluxe 2010 [OLD VERSION] [Download] (Software Download)

I've been using Quicken 2008 and decided to buy and download Quicken 2010 this afternoon. After installing I was very disappointed to find that the free online version actually was better suited for my needs than the purchased copy. The online version has more options with my bank (it can pull loan infomation while the Deluxe edition cannot) and I don't use many of the other features that warrant the cost of this one.

I decided that I would ask for the refund that is advertised with the product:

"100% Satisfaction Guarantee
If you're not 100% satisfied, return your Quicken Deluxe 2010 personal finance software with your dated receipt within 60 days of purchase for a refund of the purchase price (return shipping and handling charges not included). "

I sat, waiting in queue for half an hour to get a support person on a live chat to request my refund. He told me that they will not honor the refund because I bought the download version and I would have to request it from Amazon. In my opinion, that "Satisfaction Guarantee" needs to state that if you buy a download edition you have to go back to the retailer. There is no clarification of that before I click to buy and it's not as if I'm buying from a non-reputable source I trust that a purchase from Amazon will follow any requirements from the manufacturer. A quick look at the policy and Amazon has clearly stated that "Downloadable software products" are not returnable. I hope that they will work with me on this more than Intuit, but, as it stands I'm stuck with software that I don't want and a "100% Satisfaction Guarantee" that is not being honored.

I only give the application 2 stars because if your banks fully support the features that you need and you use more features than those which are available in the free online version then it may be worth the cost, just don't buy the download unless you have to have it right away!
