Duration of ownership:3 Months

Strengths: Very easy to install and not hard to use.This software is powerful and has many applications.

Weaknesses: Too many information and some of them I never use.

Overall Evaluation: This is my first time to use money software.I had no problems with Money 2004. It is a good financial program as far as I used, but my friend met some problem and he suggested me not attempt to download any information from online accounts.Also I saw other people's reviews said there were some problems with Qucicken. The only problem I met so far is for the tax. Hope to upgrade to 2006 asap.

Strengths: Intuitive to use the basic account information. Can download account information from Bank Of America Online directly into the program.Reports option is useful for year-long summary.

Weaknesses: The loans section is difficult to use especially when you apply extra payments and is hard to change with increases in property taxes.Transaction numbers not always assigned properly.

Overall Evaluation: My opinion is that this program is useful for tracking basic banking functions and interface with online banking is good.Not very intuitive to utilize when using some of the more comlicated functions such as loans with variable interest rates and property tax changes. I haven't tried to import retirement account information yet, but anticipate it will not be easy based on experience with loan information entry.

Duration of ownership:1 Days

Strengths: N/A

Weaknesses: After I installed it on my laptop, I tried to open it. However, a microsoft window with error messenge immediately poped out. I tried several times. Finally, I had to give up and uninstalled it.

Overall Evaluation: Then, I tried to install it on the other two computers, since I thought there might be something wrong with my laptop. However, I met the same problem. I don't know if there's anything wrong with the installation procedure. It should be pretty easy. I would ask my friend about that and update the information.

Strengths: Ability to download all my transactions for all of my accounts!

Weaknesses: At first Money had trouble reconciling my checking account automatically. It was after a few attempts of manually changing things did everything sync up.

Overall Evaluation: Overall this is an ok product, not everyone will like it. I find it very useful for getting all my account statements at once. It also came with 2 years of free billpay which is a nice touch.
