Pros: Easy to use and comprehensive
Cons: Sometimes there is a little too much
Summary: Quicken 2000 is a solid and easy to use program that allows you to manage your money and pay your bills efficiently. I have used Quicken (though not 2000, now that would be impressive) for 7+ years, and I would not move to any other program.

Pros: Ultimately results in a good personal financial overview
Cons: TERRIBLE instruction manual/CD, requires too much effort to keep current
Summary: I have used Quicken for 2 years and I find it to be barely adequate. There are more than enough features, but perhaps this is the problem. It's hard for most of us (i.e. those of us who do not have vast, extensive investments/endeavors) to figure out the ... read more

Pros: Manage your finances, internet connection to many financial institutions for account updates
Cons: Outrageous tech support, unstable, no option quotes

Pros: Ease of use, can use basic features or more more complex features.
Cons: Some automatic features can make this complex to use.
Summary: Years ago I had an old version of Quicken, and it was a time consuming nightmare to use, since downloading information from your bank or credit cards was not as prevalent as it is today. I am very impressed that Quicken 2000 has many basic features that ... read more

Pros: Complete control of your finances.
Cons: Difficult to get started.
Summary: I've been using Quicken for years (I think about 5) and I absolutely love it. Everybody should use Quicken or some similar product such as Microsoft Money. I, however, stick with Quicken since that is what I know.
Why is it so great? Well, ... read more

Pros: See Review
Cons: See Review
Summary: We have been using Quicken software for our financial needs for about 5 years now. I don't even own a check register anymore! (This works particularly well if you use duplicate checks. If you use single, I suggest you hang on to that.)
