1 of 5 If you are a looking to tracks stocks and mutual f Monday, January 21, 2008
Ed from Forks, PA & Jackson, WY
If you are a looking to tracks stocks and mutual funds, don't buy this.
I have used Quicken since the mid 1990s, and this is the last version I will ever buy.
I manage a large investment portfolio for myself in Quicken.
The servers that Intuit runs for delivering stock and mutual fund pricing have had consistant problems for the last year, not downloading prices, downloading the wrong prices, not responding, etc. This issue seems to get worse with time not better.
As of right now, the quote servers are currently down and have been down for 3+ days with no work around (other than entering prices by hand). I have called technical support and they have no estimated recovery time frame. All they can tell me is the quote server is down, and they do not know when it will be back up.
Should there not be more than one server? (I am going to assume there is) Should they not have the servers replicated into mulitple, geographically disbursed data centers for redundancy and latency?
Why has it been down since some time late Thursday night or early Friday morning and not yet resolved? (It is now noon on Monday). Could you imaging if the NYSE, NASDAQ, Chicago Wercantile Exchange, Bloomberg or Dow Jones could not get their quote systems up for more than 3 days?
Have the IT staff at Intuit ever heard of disaster recovery planning? (Sure they know about it, since they want to sell me an online backup solution for my Quicken data, but they can't seem to practice what they preach).
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!
