QUICKEN or QuickBooks?
Is I've used Quicken a long time, but need to get new software. Is there an advantage to QuickBooks?

Long time Quicken user here - 15+years. In August 2014, I decided to quit buying a new version of Quicken every few years and try something else. I discovered KMyMoney, a free personal finance manager. I used it in parallel with quicken for a few months, than cut the Quicken cord.
KMyMoney does everything I need, including investment tracking.
It's a free download - give it a try.
This looks like good software for financial stuff. But I am concerned about security. I don't know who controls the source code and protect the security of the user. At least with Quicken one has a company that is trusted and somebody to sue if your security has been violated. I have too much at stake to trust something like this software. Who knows where the information you are providing goes at present and into the future. I think it is a small price to pay Quicken or any other known reputable software house to protect security.
