Quicken 2015 does not bring much new - buying therefore not worthwhile for everyone

Quicken published the annual "Upgrade" and unfortunately, again possibly pay for an update of his efforts.

But in detail:

Who needs Quicken 2015?

1) Anyone who needs a financial software with online banking functionality and no previous version has, because Quicken is also available in the new version of one of the most reliable and comprehensive ranges on the market.
2.) Anyone who still works with Quicken 2012 or earlier versions, because this version convert recipient accounts is not the new SEPA format, the duty will soon.
3.) no one else, that anyone who works with version 2014 can waive this update mE.

why is that ?

The 2015 version brings very little new and that:

an optically redesigned cockpit and a new Hauptmenübar
an easier user guidance during account reconciliation, managing schedules and standing orders and transfers
full SEPA-compatibility
World Money exchange Pool
SEPA Direct Debit and Express
Financial Calendar is back (but he was already in the latest version 2014)

So there are cosmetic changes that do not deserve the name upgrade, and a new version number (once again) mainly.

Lexware thus remains true to its business policy and maximizes every year its turnover by a new version.

Actually, they wanted to move away therefrom and offer similar to Microsoft with Office 365 in the future an annual subscription to updates that can be renewed annually, but not necessarily. In the latter case, then after a year will receive no more updates.

Ultimately, Lexware has not dared to take this step and maintains its upgrade tactics. Probably because a new version number ("2015") rather aninmiert to buy, as a vile annual subscription.

Pity ! I fändes it honest and kundenfreunslicher a reasonable amount of money for ongoing maintenance program including pay. UpGrades as every year with a "new" version to hit the market that really nothing "new" brings.
