"Great option for converting from Quicken Windows to Mac"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.13.8
Pros
I had Quicken data going back to 1995 when I bought my iMac. I read reviews of Quicken for Mac, especially running Lion OS, and decided against it. Instead I bought iBank and almost instantly regretted it. After searching around, I found SEE Finance and bought that product. I only use it for keeping my checking account so maybe it is not so great for tracking investments. I like being able to split transactions, for credit card payments, and it's very easy to download transactions from my bank, with only minimal editing needed to assign a category sometimes.
The support is outstanding! I get replies to my emails within a day or so, with detailed explanations. That team is really doing their best to provide great customer support.

Haven't encounter any real problems or feature limitations, yet.

Highly recommended.

"Disappointed"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.13.8
Pros
1)The company is very responsive to e-mail questions. 2)Someone is trying valiantly to compete with Quicken. 3)Inexpensive
Cons
Many more steps than I'm used to with Quicken, such as for splits, transfers of funds between accounts as with payments, multiple fields for transactions etc. Some institutions don't download directly. Downloaded transactions don't necessarily go into categories I use and funds don't end up placed in easily found categories.
Summary
I really wanted to like and use this new program as I moved from PC to Mac. For weeks I have been trying to use the program after copying all of my Quicken data. However, I have been having to use more and more adjustments to accounts to equal known balances that don't match what is shown with SEE. Quicken has become easy for me to use over many years, and I simply have not been able to make the transition.
Perhaps, I will simply start again by starting each account from zero rather than continuing from my Quicken balances, but just not ready yet for multiple more hours of trying to learn this new program with its idiosyncrasies. -
"Mixed Review Not Sure I Will Keep It"
Version: SEE Finance 0.9.13.8
Pros
I like the look and feel of the program, but some things are not user friendly.
I like the basic logic of the programCons
1. Split Transactions are a pain
2. Empty transactions are created as you enter transactions and you have to go back and delete them
3. Very few of my accounts worked with the online. I typically use community banks and credit unions and mine are not supported.
4. I cannot figure out how to enter interest only loans or revolving lines of credit. It appears that you have to use a general liability option which doesn't categorize them the way I wantSummary
I'm in the free trial period and trying to set this up. I presently use Quicken on a PC and am converting to Mac + I don't like Intuit so I am looking for an alternative. There are things about this I like better, but I don't think it is going to give me the complete picture I want so I probably will end up not buying it unless I am just overlooking things and I find it in the next couple of days.
As a basic program where people are not tracking for ease in preparing taxes creating an accurate paper trail this just may be the right program.
