I can’t believe how Intuit is putting out such poor products. Quicken 2011 is a waste and now Turbo Tax. I have used both products for many years and was usually satisfied. It seems like they streamlined the questioning during the program. The data transfer from federal to state was incomplete and I had to manually enter the data. After calling the Pennsylvania Dept of Revenue the tax person stated that they have had a lot more problems with Turbo Tax this year.

I have use Quicken for over 15 years and I can’t believe how cumbersome and poorly conceived this version is compared to past versions. The main page is useless and you now have to open multiple windows to get the information you need, then you have to close all the windows you opened to get to the next account. When looking at a performance page of your investment accounts you get a pie chart instead of a bar graph.

I updated from 2011 to 2014 because they stated that they wouldn’t provide downloading service after March 2014. I went through all the steps required to update and everything seemed fine except when I went to Reconcile. I had a charge account with very few entries. I have done this proceedure for 15 plus years and always was able to Reconcile without problems. I reconciled with 2014 and was off by -$30.

Immediately got C++ runtime errors. Need to go to Corel website and download latest version Pro x5 service pack 3! Amamzon should state that it is only a 32 bit programs, therefore it runs slow, Windows 8 is 64 bit. They immediately hit you up with an upgrade for PSP X6 for $60-70, which runs th 64 bit program.

I just tried to log into Identity Safe, which I have been using for months, and Norton no longer accepted my login. I wasted time with Customer Service and I could not get Norton to send me a verification code to send to my mobile phone or email account. Now I have to look up all my passwords manually. This is why I just don’t trust cloud computing. Imagine if this happened to all your other information you have on the cloud!

I would just like to know why Quicken doesn’t resolve software issues with their product. Ever since I upgraded to 2014, last year, the product is buggy and slow. I have a relatively new computer so that isn’t the problem. I have gone back to entering data manually for my 401k. I bought 2015 to see if this version corrected the bugs from 2014…it didn’t. It was the same products as 2014.

Unfortunately, I had to buy a new computer last month. It came with pre-installed Norton antivirus for a 30-day trial. I was about to pay for the subscription when this next Norton, Norton Security, came along. Im glad it did because its an improvement over the one that came with my new computer, and both are improvements over my previous bouts with Norton. Ive spent years trying out and uninstalling Norton.

I found lots to like about Corel’s WordPerfect Office X4. And, speaking as an unhappy employee forced to use WordPerfect back in the Dark Ages, I can attest to the improvements that Corel has made in this suite of Office applications. Here are a few of the pros and cons of this program as I’ve experienced them:nnPROS:nnWordPerfect X4 is easy to use, and it is easier to manage my blog with text from WordPerfect than with text written in Word 2007.

I’ve had a small business for years, and I’ve kept the books for it using another popular software that suits my few needs quite well. This software program is far too complicated for my needs. Perhaps it is perfect for a large and growing concern, but it’s not good for me. I’m going back (happily) to QuickBooks where I can be small and remain small. This experience would have convinced me to give this product an average (three rating).

I am a video novice, with a camera that will take videos that do not work and play well with Microsofts movie software. I turned for help to Corels VideoStudio 7, and got the flexibility I was looking for. Just as I was beginning to get reasonably comfortable with its features, I found VideoStudio Pro 8 and X8 Ultimate. Ultimate X8 has all the features of Pro 8 and all the benefits Ive come to expect from Corel, but for only a few more dollars, Ultimate X8 has 10 add-ons that are well worth considering before you make a purchase decision.
