I actually used Personal Capital for a while. I have a laundry list of issues with it. #1, it's in the cloud, so all of your financial information is being accessed and stored by Personal Capital. I don't like the way they display investments. They do not break up investments into allocation (small cap, medium cap, large cap). The way they import your data, you give them your financial institution username and password, and they import everything from that institution, including accounts that I don't use and don't want listed. There is no way to remove an account from an institution without removing the whole institution. Quicken stores your financial data locally so you control it, and it has better ways to view your data than the online alternatives.
There are a few online sites that are good at giving you a quick overview of your finances, like Personal Capital and Mint. Many people are fine with the online alternatives, but I am not, and they are not equivalent.
This. I am sticking with 2017 as it's the last version before the subscriptions came. I only use it as an electronic checkbook, but man I can also say it's kind of wonky sometimes and has the same bugs that have been in it for years,
Oh nice.. I have 2016 Home & Business. Never bought 2017. After leaving their 2019 subscription garbage,
I was lucky that the data file would import/convert back to 2016 again.
