[Greenhead329]

I've read some pretty poor reviews of this version of the software, does anyone here have any experience with it?

Why not just do their online version? Depending on what version you go with, its from $8 to $18 a month.

I bought it several years ago and couldn't use it on Mac. I'm a big fan of Quicken for personal and business finances but the Mac version of Quicken was horrible as well. I ended up running VMware Fusion so I could run Windows on my Mac and then run Quicken in Windows. That has worked pretty well for me.

All this to say new versions may be better. Hopefully it has improved.

I use it for business purposes. Not quite as many features as PC version but it works fine for me.

Teul, I didn't even know they had an online version...I'm showing my ignorance but how does that work vs the regular program ? Any added features?

[teul2]

I'm not familiar with the working inside the program. I just get it ordered and such for people (I'm IT).

Also which is better, quicken or quickbooks?

Quickbooks seems to have a lot more accounting features which I wasn't going to use as I turn over everything to my accountant every month anyway. Much more detailed and harder to learn.

I use Quicken for check registers for home and business, download bank transactions, credit cards, investments, budgets, following outstanding debt, etc.

It all depends on what you want to do with them.
