Don't even bother upgrading February 18, 2010

I bought this software yesterday, and it was the biggest disappointment ever. As a Quicken user of 12 years, this software is not recognizable. It's nothing but a budget tracker, with none of the advanced features of Quicken for Windows. Actually, this software is like Quicken for Windows, minus 90% of the functionality. Quicken Essentials is really just that, the bare bones basics. You cannot even set up your paycheck, cannot use online billpay, cannot use with TurboTax, and you cannot even download or manually enter individual stock transactions. Instead of Quicken Essentials, it should be called Quicken Kindergarten. The following is quoted directly from their setup guide. I wish they put this stuff on the box.
"As much as we improved the experience of using Quicken when we rebuilt it from the ground up, there are some features you may have been used to using in Quicken for Mac (or Quicken for Windows) that we didnt include in this version of Quicken Essentials.
Investments
Quicken Essentials lets you to track the overall value of your investment accounts and the value of specific holdings, but the software does not track individual buys and sells, nor will it provide some advanced investment performance reports.
Exporting to TurboTax
Quicken Essentials does not currently support the ability to export your data to TurboTax.
Direct bill pay
You can track your bills in Quicken Essentials, but the program doesnt have the direct bill pay capabilities that allow you to pay your bills directly from the program.
Other advanced features
Quicken Essentials does not include many of the advanced features in other versions of Quicken, including Business features, Rental Property, lifetime planner, cash flow forecast, spending plan, debt reduction plan, emergency tax records, tax planner, and home inventory manager."
If Quicken for Windows is worth a retail price of $60 to $70, then this new version of Quicken for the Mac is worth at most 5 bucks. Seriously, it does nothing more than downloads transactions and helps you track your spending or maintain a budget. I feel like a total fool for purchasing this product and will be returning it to Intuit. And to think I waited almost 3 years for this product. I was really expecting to be impressed. After Intuit's horrible experience with TurboTax last year, I really can't believe they have the temerity to unleash this worthless product on the market. I expect people at Intuit to get fired over this disaster, and deservedly so. This product looks like it was designed by an 8th grader in order to help a 3rd grader do his arithmetic. And did I mention the graphics? Oh, so elementary. That little pink pig next to my savings account makes me want to scream !!!!!!
wait! wait! March 6, 2010

My Quicken for Mac 2007 had gotten so many glitches that I felt I had no choice to update. But if you have any option, stay with the older version, because Essentials is terrible, and customer service is a real laugh. If I could have given it no stars I would have!
Read the previous review for details - I agree with it all! I'd say wait until they do some decent upgrades - hopefully!
Lousy software April 3, 2010

I am sorely disappointed in Quicken Essentials for Mac 2010. You can't log in your investments as in previous versions, you can't track your investments as in previous versions, you lose your memorized transactions - what kind of lousy "upgrade" is this? I think it's awful. It's just a basic spreadsheet. Not at all worth the money, and just a very substandard software.

I cannot believe intuit charges money for this joke of a program. I was a Quicken die hard with Window, but when I made the switch to Mac I was totally abandoned. You are better off making your own spreadsheet in Excel.
Someone should write a good financial program for Mac, obviously, Quicken is not up to the challenge.
Don't waste you money any of the Quicken Mac products. Really.
Incomplete Product - DO NOT PURCHASE June 5, 2010

I'm not sure what Intuit was thinking with this product. I've used Quicken for PC for over 5 years and recently changed to Mac in our home. I hadn't converted my Quicken off the old PC as there was no Mac version newer than 2007 to utilize. Once I saw Mac Essentials had been released I was ready to convert. I don't use Quicken for heavy financial needs - I just need to track monthly spend to loans and on credit cards. Mostly for monthly budgeting - no investment accounts or 401k type needs. I consider myself a basic user.
This product doesn't offer even basic functionality. For example, it cannot manage basic interest bearing loans. If you have a mortgage, auto loan or any other interest bearing loan where payments go to both principle and interest - it cannot do this.
This product is meant for someone managing their weekly allowance and nothing more detailed. A huge disappointment for someone who really liked Quicken for PC. Also, while they do have a 60 day refund policy, I knew within 2 hours of purchase this wouldn't work for me. I tried to get my refund and was told I had to wait 24-48 hours as the policy required you wait. So, not only do I know this product doesn't work for me, I have to jump through some hoops to get the issue resolved.
