From: Mr.Jan on 13 Feb 2010 10:26 The current QOL version is dreadful and Mint.Com, which Intuit recently purchased, is pretty basic. I love my desktop version of Quicken but I use multiple computers and have to carry my Quicken file on a memory stick. Moving to the cloud is the right way to go.

The right way to go for you maybe, but not for me. I'm not at all interested in keeping my entire portfolio of personal financial information on somebody else's computer. Too many companies have their systems hacked, broken into, and data stolen because of poor design, weak security, or poor processes. And if mint.com has a disk crash or a system failure, you better hope they have good backups and can recover your Quicken data file. I work in the information security industry and see this all too frequently. No thanks. I won't be putting anything of true personal value in the cloud. --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

That is a reporting tool. What I worry about is someone cracking my brokerage or bank directly. That is one of the reasons I download and check Quicken every day to see if there is any odd activity. Over the years, I have been hit a couple of times but never through my Quicken account. They were duplicate charges or charges for things above and beyond what I ordered. If you are in information security, you know the biggest risk is talking someone into giving you their password. As far as a crash and backups, Quicken is a reporting tool and I can reconstruct the data. I am, again, more worried that my brokerage or bank will crash and lose the source records.

Your Quicken records are more than just a "summary". If you're not worried about someone hacking your personal financial information including all your records, transactions, bank info and account numbers, then by all means, go for it. |
