Not robust enough for my needs
Not robust enough for my needs
Pros
When I kicked off my business journey, this product proved to be a game-changer. Its simplicity and affordability were just what I needed to move beyond spreadsheets as a small business owner.
Cons
As my business expanded, I found myself needing better control over billing details and managing payments to vendors and contractors. My accountant strongly recommended transitioning to Quickbooks due to the complexity of my operations and the necessity to ensure seamless functioning.

Excellent for Blended families and small business
Excellent for Blended families and small business
Pros
For $80 Cdn a year, this program is a lifesaver for me as part of a blended family managing multiple income sources and complex expenses. As someone who isn't a financial expert, juggling rental properties and a second marriage made organizing finances a nightmare. What used to take me days on a spreadsheet now only takes 3 or 4 hours with Quicken. Monthly budgeting and managing my small business now take just a fraction of the time. Once I categorized my transactions, which took a few hours initially, I never had to do it again. The spending charts and pie graphs give me a clear and immediate picture of where my money is going. It was a breeze to teach my wife how to use it, and it's eliminated so much unnecessary stress.
Cons
I have noticed a slight delay in transactions appearing in the application after they have been processed by the bank. Even after refreshing the account, it can take some time for new transactions to show up. Interestingly, this seems to be an issue only with the desktop version, not the web app. While it doesn't bother me much, it could be problematic for those who require immediate updates.

From day one, I had problems with password login. Sometimes it wouldn't log in at all, either online or in the Windows app. Later, it would reject the same password.

Excellent for Blended families and small business
Excellent for Blended families and small business
Pros
For $80 Cdn a year, this program is a lifesaver for me as part of a blended family managing multiple income sources and complex expenses. As someone who isn't a financial expert, juggling rental properties and a second marriage made organizing finances a nightmare. What used to take me days on a spreadsheet now only takes 3 or 4 hours with Quicken. Monthly budgeting and managing my small business now take just a fraction of the time. Once I categorized my transactions, which took a few hours initially, I never had to do it again. The spending charts and pie graphs give me a clear and immediate picture of where my money is going. It was a breeze to teach my wife how to use it, and it's eliminated so much unnecessary stress.
Cons
I have noticed a slight delay in transactions appearing in the application after they have been processed by the bank. Even after refreshing the account, it can take some time for new transactions to show up. Interestingly, this seems to be an issue only with the desktop version, not the web app. While it doesn't bother me much, it could be problematic for those who require immediate updates.
