Review by Don SW Florida
New Quicken for MAC-a must buy for MAC users. I am a Quicken 2007 user so the new 2015 is great visually and editing and data manipulation is much easier since a MAC product using the latest OSX whistles. Import from Q2007 data was flawless to the penny for my bank and credit card imports. A few investment imports were off in the total transaction value due to roundoff or security price differences, BUT these were easily found. And the number was less than 15 for over 1000 transactions between 2 accounts. 3 of my 5 investment accounts had no errors.
The only concerns are that some of my must have features (that are present in Q2007) are not yet in Q15 like calendar view of present and future transactions, as well as forecast graphs. Also the report module is not mature-there are some reports but the ability to edit the standard reports in Q2015 is limited. The investment module has what most people need (e.g. portfolio view and transactions as well as capital gains calculations, to name a view that I use all the time) but the investment analysis is limited due to lack of some reports. But Quicken promises many updates in the next 12 months at no cost and I have confidence they will update. The potential list of improvements and the ability to vote is available on the Quicken product website (www.quicken.com/mac).
Overall happy with the product. Program is stable and import module is fast and accurate AND better than I have experienced when transitioning from Quicken windows to Q2007 and from MS MYM to Quicken for windowsnnA recommend buy for MAC users. The many features listed on the Amazon website is accurate and for added detail you can look on the Quicken/mac website. It is a solid 4 stars and could be 5 when the updates promised are incorporated in the near future.
The only potential downside is that you must pay to try and the cost is a higher than Quicken competitors, but having tried the two main competitors, I believe the cost and risk is justified. I certainly picked Q2015 over others. Note that Quicken has a 60day return policy no questions asked
