Quicken forces users to upgrade Very dissatisfied Intuit forces users to upgrade software to retain the existing service levels. This is due to their "discontinuation policy", which ironically will force me to discontinue being their customer. I will not upgrade.
Automatically "discontinues" after 3 years Don't buy this product!! I have used Quicken for years but now they have a policy that their software online access for getting stock quotes and your financial data automatically discontinues after 3 years and you have to buy a new version of Quicken.
Quicken 2004 will no longer work for online services after April 30, 2007.
Forget it! I'm looking elsewhere.
Product Discontinuation Policy Although I have generally been pleased with Quicken over the years, Intuit has decided to launch a "product discontinuation policy" recently. Pursuant to this policy, YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE A BRAND NEW VERSION OF QUICKEN EVERY THREE (3) YEARS in order to keep using the most convenient features (such as the downloading of bank statements, credit card statements, etc.).
Don't make the mistake I made and end up getting "hooked" on Quicken. Look elsewhere.
Very very poor quality product I agree with the other reviewer. I had been a quicken user for a long time. Since I upgraded, I have had nothing but problems! Their program is buggy as heck and they make you pay for their garbage. I am looking into alternative programs as we speak. Do not waste your money on this product. The $24 some odd you may pay for the product is nothing compared to the technical support you will be paying!
Thank you for the warnings I was all set to upgrade to Quicken 2004. The only reason? So I could make backup files easier by burning to cd's. I too, have used Quicken for many years and would upgrade every other year. Well, after reading all the reviews, I think for the time being I will stick with my 2002 version. I can still backup on cd's the long way around. What can these companies be thinking of when they cheapen their products, hire people who can't speak with you for support, etc. Thank you all for the warnings. I believe my money will be better spent somewhere else.
