Quicken Deluxe 2009 represents Intuit's latest version of the personal finance software that has dominated the market for over two decades. This latest version of Quicken is designed to organize your income, savings, and spending into a coherent household budget. Can Quicken Deluxe 2009 recession-proof your checkbook, or is it just another sunk cost? Read on to see our final bottom line.
CONCLUSION
Quicken Deluxe 2009 has the potential to be an extremely useful and insightful personal finance management application, provided it can actually obtain access to your personal finances, and that you don't fall for any of its service up-sells. Your experience with Quicken will be directly impacted by how well your bank and other financial institutions support Quicken data access, and how well Quicken handles the data those systems provide.
Our best advice is to check the list of supported financial institutions before you buy Quicken to ensure your bank is listed. If yours is a Quicken-compatible bank, skim the Quicken Community for posts about Direct Connect and Web Connect access to make certain that the bank doesn't have any known Quicken support issues. If no red flags come up, Quicken may well be the product for you. If there are reports of transaction download problems, odds are Quicken Deluxe 2009-for all its potential-may be more trouble than it's worth.
