How good is Mint in filling the role of these softwares. I would naively guess that someone could better accommodate these people.

- meatmanek 15y agoWell, if he's pissed off at Intuit, then Mint might not be the best choice for him - it's also run by Intuit.
- ante 15y agoIt's not geared towards business owners (invoicing, vendors, cutting checks, double entry book keeping, reconciling, etc) Mint hits that sweet spot with single individuals, maybe married couples, with multiple accounts who want to get an overview and bottom line.
- sliverstorm 15y agoAgreed. As an individual, I switched to Mint from Quicken precisely because Quicken was too much tool for the job. Mint works for tracking your spending, Quicken (and related products) are more sophisticated.
- ethank 15y agoMint removed features about a year ago where you could do more granular filtering of transactions, and started pulling the description of transactions from different fields than they used to. So for instance, it was impossible to filter my car from my mortgage as both were tagged FINANCIAL and rulesets wouldn't catch either. There is a LONG running support thread about this (http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint/topics/use_statement_names_instead_of_mint_names_in_transaction_rules?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification http://satisfaction.mint.com/mint/topics/use_statement_names...) and no response from anyone at Mint. Lets be honest: Mint was a lead generation tool on top of Yodlee's backend. Great UX, horrible experience. I'm back to using Wells Fargo's web based tool, which is OK.
