 No reason to upgrade. November 16, 2008

0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using Quicken for many years. I generally upgrade every two years to see what's new, so I went from Premier 2007 to 2009. I haven't seen any new feature that means anything to me, the UI is less appealing than the previous UI, and 2009 had an annoying bug that they just fixed in r3. In summary, I like Quicken, but if you already have it, stick with what you have.

I bought Quicken Premier 2009 for Windows because I wanted better features than I felt I was getting from the Mac version of Quicken that I was using (Quicken for Mac 2007). The migration of my Mac Quicken data to Windows Quicken was a bit arduous in terms of straightening out some data issues but after about 8 hours of work to make sure all the accounts looked the same as they had in the Mac version, I was set. Now I am learning about the different features in the Windows version. I bought a "Missing Manual" book to help with that. But so far I am basically impressed by the program and feeling a bit surprised to see all the negative reviews on this web page about it. Like many people, I have money in the stock market, both in retirement accounts and outside retirement accounts, and that is one reason I was drawn to this software--because of the multiple features it offers for tracking your investments. I have not been disappointed thus far and I am finding that it is very proficient at handling a variety of securities transactions (e.g., reinvested dividends, assigning purchases and sales to lots, tracking rate of return). Overall I would give it four out of five stars. It IS a complex program in the sense that there is a lot to learn about (though not really a lot to learn about if you only want to keep a check register and a cash account, or even just a check register). The complexity is perhaps the biggest negative I can muster about it but I am very comfortable with Quicken having used it for years so it does not really bother me and I just think it is an awesome program overall for keeping track of your finances and, really, improving your finances as a result.
Great program after any minor issues are resolved October 27, 2008

Quicken 2009 is a very good improvement over what I was originally using for the past 3 years (I'm upgrading from version 2006).
1) Installation of Quicken 2009 went smooth, but after initially running the program, I kept getting Runtime errors (which automatically terminated the program). I emailed for assistance, was given a downloadable Quicken removal tool because Quicken support said I probably had remnants of prior Quicken programs. After running the removal tool, the program ran better, but I still received a few Run time errors, as well as the program running slow.
Quicken 2009 uses a lot of system resources, and the slowness might have been from low system resources. I tried tweaking my Display Properties (Settings & Appearance) by reducing my color quality to Medium (16 bit), unchecking the "shadow under menus", unchecking the "show windows contents while dragging", etc. It's possible that you don't have to modify all these items, but I've found my entire system (including) Quicken, runs a lot faster.
1a) After using Quicken 2009 for another 30 minutes, the program began working fine (no errors). ** Note: you may have a lot of system memory, but it's the system resources that may cause Quicken to slow down. ** Hopefully the Display Properties modifications will help increase your available system "resources".
2) Quicken 2009, as a program (when any minor issues have been resolved), is a pleasure to use.
3) In regards to downloading transactions, I've only downloaded (updated) my mutual fund and stock quotes (based upon the stock symbols I set up). I haven't downloaded any bank transactions, because I'd rather enter them manually.
4) As of this writing, the Release 2 patch (for quicken 2009) is available.
5) A personal tid bit, I never liked the "cash register" sound when "recording" the transactions, so I changed it via: CONTROL PANEL / SOUNDS, SPEECH, AND AUDIO DEVICES / CHANGE THE SOUND SCHEME / SOUNDS (Quicken) /RECORD (Browse C:\Windows\Media).....
In closing, without the minor problems, Quicken Premier 9 is great; you actually enjoy entering and keeping track of your financial data, as well as generating selected reports.
 Quicken Premier 2009...Some of the reviews are WAY off! October 23, 2008
Tony DeLucia (Lexington, KY USA)
6 out of 11 found this review helpful
I have been astonished by some of the "reviews" I have been reading...
I have been using Quicken since the very first DOS version in the 80s and I have been a beta tester for about 5-7 years. Beta testing IS all about finding bugs so that they can be addressed and FIXED prior to releasing the software.
The latest version is the most STABLE, the most customizable and most graphical so far. Quicken makes it very easy to set it up the way YOU like to work and to SEE exactly what you spent, when you spent it, and who you spent it with.
I have gone from using the beta software to using the first release of the software many times WITHOUT a problem.
I pay bills through Quicken, download banking, brokerage, credit card, and stock transactions in Quicken and I have NEVER had a problem.
I have not had a problem upgrading a file, or running a report, and...since day 1, I have NEVER lost a file in Quicken.
I use reviews a lot when I am doing research and deciding to purchase something so I hope this review helped you a little...I recommend Quicken Premier 2009!
 Don't believe the horror stories, it's about the same as Quicken 2006 October 18, 2008
The Anonymous Reviewer (Houston, Texas)

This was a pre-emptive upgrade due to Quicken's sunset policy. I previously owned Quicken 2006 and was happily running it on Vista. The good news: it's just as functional as Quicken '06, at least for the features that I use (banking, investing, property and debt). The bad news: I had to upgrade for no significant improvement to the software.
But anyway, don't believe the horror stories about online banking. I initially had the same problems as the other posters, but that was resolved for me in the update to R2 (which you will immediately download), and even prior to the correction was never as horrible for me as other posters describe. Yes, there is a bit of a learning curve, but all-in-all there is no significant difference between Q06 and Q09. This is both good and bad. The good is that the new version contains all of the functionality that I relied upon in Q06. The bad is that Q06 fulfilled my needs nicely... I only had to upgrade because of Intuit's sunset policy... there is no significant improvement to the software... even after three years.
So, don't be scared by the negative posters... it's actually the same Quicken you know (I can only speak from '99, since that's the version that I started with). However, do be scared by Intuit. Their forced upgrade policy is a matter of record, and with Quicken online I am seriously concerned that some... if not most.. of the functionality that I use and expect with the desktop version will soon be a thing of the past. This may or may not be a reason to upgrade to Quicken 2009 now.
