Money Plus Deluxe - Old Version Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I tried upgrading from Quicken 2007 to Quicken 2008 and was unable to do so without errors that caused my new installation to give an error message, remove new changes, and stop the installation.
I called Quicken tech support and the guy in India (while nice) could only help me do the same things I'd already done and that did not work. After 2 tries, he said, "I don't have any other ways to help you. Try calling Microsoft and see if they can help you. Here's their 800 number . . . Goodbye!" He hung up on me.
I decided to download Money 2008 for their trial period. Money installed immediately and completely! It transferred my Quicken data accurately and fully. (I have used Quicken for at least 16 years and this was a "big" change for me.)
I ended-up purchasing Money - on-line - from Microsoft and making my full change to their financial software, within a week from trying Money 2008. I was VERY HAPPY with the way Money worked, its interface, and its various options. It was easy to change from Quicken!!

MOST OF ALL, I liked being able to get tech support from Money's email help. My actual experience was to have an email within 4 hours, that included a name and phone number if I needed more help. (I had a small problem inputing my serial number because I had my system set to a larger than normal sized font. Money would not allow the necessary information for each spaced section. Their tech support wrote back to me with the help (answer) I needed - I had to reset the system font size to normal (which they told me how to easily do. My serial number information was immediately accepted with no problem. Now, I am the happy owner of Money 2008 and no longer an Intuit/Quicken user.
I must say, my only disliked feature of Money 2008 is it wants to send each electronic check I write for paying bills - individually, instead of allowing me to write all my checks and then send them at the same time.

I will take this problem - happily - since I now have updated financial software that is not "buggie" and with no tech support that actually helps me.
I am going to be a Money user from now on. I highly recommend Money 2008.

Microsoft Money 2004 Premium Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)money itself is nice enough, but paying more for the premium version over deluxe is a rip-off--every single additional "feature" is actually part of a limited-time trial for a 3rd-party Web service called Gainskeeper. Nowhere will anyone tell you how much this costs until you register for it. The regular Gainskeeper service is $20/yr, which is (surprise!) exactly what you paid to upgrade from Deluxe to Premium, so much for the "free" trial. Among the many ways this sucks includes you have to create and maintain a completely separate second version of your portfolio, store it on their web site instead of your own PC, and then (once you go past an introductory number of trnsactions annually) you have to pay per-transaction to enter your own trade data, anywhere from 20-90 cents each. Very very weak, there's no reason why this can't be included within Money itself for the extra $20. By all means choose Money over Quicken, but stick with Deluxe and save some bucks.
