Although Quicken for Mac 2015 is an improvement on previous versions, the continued lack of online bill payment support and the fact that it is still not as complete as the PC version is disappointing. ![]() Last Updated: November 15, 2016 It’s taken 7 years but Intuit finally released a new so we took a look at the good and bad in our Quicken 2015 for Mac review.

Firstly, note that there’s no free trial of Quicken 2015 for Mac but you can take advantage of Amazon’s money back guarantee who currently offer the. You can also purchase it for Secondly, there’s one major issue that you should be aware of before reading any further as it will be a deal breaker for many: Quicken for Mac 2015 still doesn’t support online bill payments. Quicken 2015 For Mac Review: The Good & Bad First the bad news. For the past 7 years, many Mac Quicken users have had to resort to using a virtual machine on their Mac just so they can use the superior Windows version of Quicken 2007. The bad news is that yet again, Quicken 2015 still isn’t up to the standard of the Windows version. For reasons known only to Intuit, many features and reports have been dropped from Quicken 2015 compared with the 2007 version. Most notably, the planning features such as the loan calculator, investment calculator, retirement planner and college planner have all gone. Other features such as comparison reports, budget summaries, tax scheduling (meaning you can’t file taxes with it, although you can export to ), tax summaries and of course, online bill payments are also missing. Even worse, don’t expect it to import large amounts of data from Quicken 2007 painlessly. ![]() In theory, Quicken 2015 for Mac can import from Quicken Essentials for Mac, Quicken 2007 for Mac and any version of Quicken 2010 for Windows or newer. However, our rather emotional experiences importing from Quicken 2007 left us exhausted and confused. If you’ve got years and years of accounts like most users that have been stuck with the 2007 edition, Quicken 2015 seemingly has a nervous breakdown if you come near it with your accounts. For large files, importing is incredibly slow and triggers the dreaded spinning ball on your Mac before taking anything from half an hour to an hour to final import data. You must also be extremely careful when deciding whether to sync with online banking accounts during importing as you’ll invariably end up with duplicate entries which is a nightmare to manually correct yourself afterwards. Setting-up bank connections in general is very hit and miss in Quicken 2015 and even if you do manage to successfully import accounts from older versions of Quicken, you’ll have to re-setup all of your connections which is a bit of a pain (more on this below). And whatever you do, do not make the mistake of leaving Quicken 2007 open during the import – the import simply won’t work. Oh, and just for good measure attachments and budgets won’t import at all which is extremely annoying if you have lots of attached receipts and other documents in your historical accounts. But, deep breath, there is some good news. Intuit has finally recognized that Macs use a completely different operating system to PCs and given Quicken 2015 a much slicker OS X style interface. In fact, it’s the first thing that strikes you when finally get past the rather annoying setup process which requires you to sign-up for an Intuit online account, even if you don’t want any of the services it offers. If you’ve only ever used Quicken 2007, then you’ll see the difference instantly although if you’ve used the much maligned the differences are more modest. Quicken for Mac 2015 is a definite improvement in terms of presentation and speed and for those that are still chugging along with the 2007 edition, it’s definitely worth the upgrade. From the overall interface to the way Quicken tracks investments and auto saves data to stop you accidentally losing data, Quicken 2015 definitely looks and works better than 2007. In particular, Quicken 2015 gives a much slicker overview of where your money is going with Cash & Credit, Investments and Loans, Reminders and Reports clearly organized. The Reports section is typically far behind the Windows version with a depressingly limited range of report customization options for those that like full control over how Quicken crunches your finances. Entering transactions on the other hand is similar to Quicken 2007 but allows much greater detail in the amount of financial information you can enter and attach. Pulse secure for mac sierra. Pulse Secure has qualified macOS High Sierra with various beta releases, GM release and public release. Pulse Secure completed compatibility testing (refer to the known issues below) for Pulse Connect Secure 8.3R3 and Pulse Secure Desktop client 5.3R3. I can confirm that ps-pulse-5.2r4.1-b787 is still broken in Sierra beta 7, but that ps-pulse-mac-5.0r15.1-b61501 works. Glad that I can connect again, I will try to find out if a beta version of Pulse Secure is available. End users should contact their Pulse Secure administrator or IT Help Desk to obtain the latest software. Is Network Connect support on macOS Sierra? Network Connect is not supported on Mac 10.9 and later.
