The user interface of Quicken 2013 is very modest and it gives grid view of the annual budget for all the month at a single point of time, so that it enables you to make adjustments with the big picture in full view. It also supports more layout customization but it has sunset policy for supporting online services as it allows only downloading transactions for about three years and after it shuts down support for online activity but the software will continue to function and will let you to import data manually at any point of time. But if you have many accounts then you will have to enter one transaction at a time and as per Intuit it costs too much to support server-side operations as downloading the hundreds of financial institutions is a costly affair. It is suspected that Intuit uses the policy to force people to buy the new version regularly.
