| Product Reviews from Amazon.com (Rating System 1 to 5) |
| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Very Good
I've owned Microsoft Money for several years. I purchased this to replace a previous version. It is simple to use and works for basic money management. | 5 | Today | Everything was going fine, until...
My computer had a hard crash while MS Money was open (the crash may not have been MS Money's fault). Upon rebooting, I was unable to open the MS Money data file. Additionally, ALL of the MS Money backup files were corrupt. I had to rebuild everything from scratch. What good is the software if it can't recover from a crash?
Also, I was able to import my old quicken files into MS Money, but found that MS Money will not allow you to change the original amount of an existing loan after the loan had been set up. I would have thought that you could change values like that. | 1 | Today | Great program
Much nicer form than Quickens. I particulary liked the reconcile feature. It takes all the work out of this monthly chore. Good purchase. | 5 | Today | Unacceptable file imports/ upgrade behavior
While I felt the software was useful, I thought it occasionally was unintuitive and difficult to use. The invoice designer did not work very well, and the general interface was somewhat complicated and unintuitive. My greatest complaint is with the way the system opens files. I can't go into detail, but opening an existing file on a new system is a nighmare. I cannot say what the reason for this is except maybe related to online updates prior to the opening of the file on a new system. However, after updating the new system, problems still abounded. I would not recommend this software to anyone at this price. Maybe at, say, $39.95? | 2 | Today | Stay away from Money 2005
I purchased MSM 2005 about 6 months ago. The program has crashed on me numerous times, corrupting my master file. It has taken hours to reconstruct the data, and to get my back-up data back into the software. Downloading information from my bank and investment companies is hit and miss. Some days it works, others it doesn't.
Reports are much harder to customize than previously, and even the disk back-up is "broken" IMHO. (Rather than just re-using floppies as in past versions, now you must delete the old copy of the backup file first).
This is without doubt the worst software purchase I've made in years. | 1 | Today | What a disaster
If you want to screw up your books buy this program. I do not have one account in it that is correct. I have no idea at this point on how to fix them. It will probably take days if they are even fixable. Thank God I made an excel spread sheet before I bought this horrid program. Please don't buy, microsoft should be sued for putting this mess on the market. | 1 | Today | Microsoft Screwd Up this Version of Money BIG Time!
Hi,
I just started a small website design business, and I was evaluating simple accounting products to keep track of my business.
I really like the interface for Microsoft Money...it is much more intuative and laid out better than Quicken Home and Business 2005....but man, what nerve Microsoft has to require you to have one of those stupid Microsoft Passport accounts....and then to make you always be "online" to create new accounts!
GEEZ...in my opinion, they went too far!
I guess I'm a sticken with a Quicken!
:)
| 1 | Today | For disappointed in Microsoft Money
Personally, I believe that who ever takes time to post his/her opinion in order to alert others deserves one big thanks from this community. So, thanks to people above:
My Microsoft Money was bundled with my PC but I only needed fast and simple money tracking. Learning to use Microsoft Money was one big waist of my time. I was considering upgrade and naturally, first thing to do was to read reviews.
Search for Money 2005 opened My Money 2005 download page, software created by totally different company. Unlike Microsoft Money, this software was actually easy and full version was only 9.95. If you want to check this out, go to ZPSSoft.com and look for My Money 2005.You may not going to be able to run your corporation or small country with it, but it will do for all your money.
| 1 | Today | Do Not Upgrade!!
I currently have the 2004 which I upgraded from 2002. Everything was fine, therefore I would only expect 2005 to be better than 2004. It was awful, I returned the product within hours!! 2005 is made up entirely of advertisements displayed all over the place, it isn't user friendly and the features that I liked in the previous versions are gone. I am extremely disappointed and highly recommended not getting the 2005 version! | 1 | Today | I wish I had bought something else
I bought Money 2005 Small Business Edition to create some basic financial accounting for my small business. The product came with no guide, neither on paper, nor on screen - for anything you need, you need to go online. The product constant encourages you to go online - but do you want to go online with all your financials open? Could a user have Microsoft or anyone else start browsing through his finances? Unfortunately, basic functions, such as decreasing a balance on a client invoice due to a credit, seem impossible to find. I wish I had bought something else. | 1 | Today |
