And it is so easy to drag and drop a report into Excel for Mac.

I like iBank's reports better than Quicken's because I find them easier to modify on the fly. Reconciliation is much easier for me than in Quicken. Just need to be careful to import to the correct account. I have to manually download/upload transaction updates for each account, but that's very easy to do. iBank can't handle addresses for printing cheques like Quicken (unless I missed something), but I only print maybe 3 cheques a year now anyway - everything is going online. I kept pages of notes as I checked for functions I use to manage our personal accounts and investments, and everything works. Importing Quicken downloads from my Canadian bank was very easy. Year-end comparison will be the clincher. So when iBank 5 came out a month ago I decided to give it a serious trial alongside Quicken.īottom line: So far I have found no reason to keep using Quicken. Parallels' convergence view is very nice, but I just can't stand Windows updating weekly and disrupting my Apple karma.

So back then I installed Parallels and Windows on my new iMac. No Mac app measured up, especially for investment management. When I switched from Windows a couple of years ago, the main Windows app I couldn't leave behind was Quicken.
