Sometimes the CSV file didn't follow the database validation rules, like using text in a number field, etc. I would work in a Unix environment as well and had to run AWK and SED to remove blank spaces and other problems that would cause invalid use of null errors in a database that the column couldn't be null. I would import them into Oracle, SQL Server, MS-Access, Clipper, etc and sometimes had to write a custom program to import the files.
I used to work as a federal contractor importing text files into databases by downloading them via FTP or Web Sites on a federal Intranet. Clunky UI, double-entry accounting, Yuck.ĬSV files are good, but sometimes they contain blank data and spaces that mess up importing them. There is no way in hell I am going to upload 15 years of financial history to "the cloud". Surely those two functions are the MVP for any alternative.

I use it as a checkbook register and as a way to plan the month so I don't overdraw my checking account (which would probably happen monthly if I didn't have Quicken), and to download credit card transactions weekly to watch for fraud. I don't use the budget, or the bill paying, or the charts and reports, or the tax crap, or the retirement planning or all the other various bells and whistles Intuit has decided to bolt on to its vast menu structure over the years. It's funny because I'm sure I don't even use like 95% of Quicken.
If it were to stop functioning tomorrow, I'd be screwed. I've grown so dependent on it in a way I've never grown dependent on any other software.

I've got about 15 years of my financial life in my Quicken file, and I probably have used the software at least twice a week, religiously, during that time period. If there was one piece of desktop software that I think the world definitely needs an alternative for it's Quicken. Download the CSV file, and Paypal randomly leaves out information you have to manually edit back in, like the item description which appears on the web site but not in the CSV data.Īnd why does my bank list the payee for a check as "Check 236"? The bank knows who the money got sent too.

Can you believe it in 2016? Naturally, you cannot download the full information about the transaction anyway. The credit card downloaded data file lists the payee as "Ted". Your credit card statement lists the payee for the same transaction as "Carol". Oh, you wanted the tax 1099 forms? That's a whole 'nuther section on the web site.īuy anything from Paypal? This is the killer. You download them one at a time, and some of them download to the same file name! So it's clicking around, then rename the file to "January 2015", then repeat for the next one, etc. There is no "get me all the statements from last year." Nope. Then try to get the statements, just try, my pretty.
Download ALL of them, because sure as shootin', Quicken will only import one of them, and that's one is different for every different account! (Stunningly stoopid.) Doing my taxes this year, I find it amazing how incompetent most financial software is (including Quicken).įor example, take a simple task: download all your financial data for the last year.
