"Quicken is the Good, but could easily be GREAT!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quicken Home & Business?

Quicken helps me manage all my financials in one tool. It's not the smoothest running software and it's cloud functions are lacking but overall it's the best tool I've found so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken Home & Business?

I dislike the dated interface, and I also very much dislike the disjointed method for viewing your data in the cloud, or on the web. It's clunky and generally not reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"While the subscription is not inexpensive, after many years it's finally connecting fairly reliably"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Quicken Home & Business?

After years of inconsistent connections, it's now able to consistently connect to most financial institutions to update activity and detailed investment brokerage transactions. Reconciling your accounts is very easy if you can maintain a consistent electronic connection with the financial institutions housing your accounts. Good syncing to the cloud using a relatively useful mobile app (mine is an Android phone). Plays nice with Microsoft's OneDrive, as a means of backing up your data. Manages to perform well even if your database includes decades of financial history. Most features operate intuitively and, when you have a question about something, there's a good community of fellow users to help with support. Good reporting capabilities, including the ability to create and update custom reports and to export their results to Excel. Good ability to create custom invoices and to manage client accounts and track client-based projects if yours is a small business. Good integration to a couple of other financial products offered by Quicken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken Home & Business?

Annual subscription isn't cheap and discounts are not great and hard to come by. No particular loyalty discount for longtime users. Customer service can be slow and their advice is sometimes wrong (the user community can often provide a better solution). After so many years, it's sometimes surprising to see what kinds of transactions it mishandles (e.g., buy/sell of money market instruments and their use during cash sweeps within brokerage accounts). Sometimes poor separation of corporate assets from some kinds of reporting; be careful to set up expense and income categories to separate business and personal activities. It's not possible to share access with multiple users operating on separate PCs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easiest Management for Small Business"
5/5
What do you like best about Quicken Home & Business?

When reporting to third parties (bosses, shareholders, members) is not required, Quicken is by far the easiest solution for managing your own small business. It is essentially a double-entry system without the extra hand-tying that does with more sophisticated accounting systems. I've used it for several decades to manage several businesses. I haven't found any functions I've missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken Home & Business?

It does not have a payroll system or built-in accounts payable or receivables systems. With not much work, you can create your methods for each of these, but it's not the same as robust AR, AP, and PR systems. For my businesses, these are not requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good alternative to an exccel sheet, beware of bugs"
3/5
What do you like best about Quicken Home & Business?

I like that it helps you be in control of your tenants, expenses and money coming in, at a very inexpensive rate, I was able to land an 80% discount which is very neat. The graphs and insights are a great tool that me not knowing much about excel would never be able to do Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken Home & Business?

With all the positive, here comes the negative, this software is just so buggy, sometimes I want to put my head through a wall, literally, it is so hard to get it to work the way you want to. Even updates are no help at all since they have removed some features that worked pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Tool To Use For Business!"
5/5
What do you like best about Quicken Home & Business?

I think the simplicity of the program is very well thought out and definitely easy to use. This is definitely another program by Intuit that I would recommend. I loved many of their other products such as Quick Tools, and turbo tax, that this one is just as simple to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Quicken Home & Business?

I have not found anything that I dislike so far. I would have to say that sometimes the program does slow down a little bit, but thats because I found it does depend on your internet speed. Other than that the program works out very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
