Quickbooks, Quicken, or better software out there?

Question

So,  here’s my problem.  I used Quickbooks online for years for my other company.  I Started using Quicken Home, business and rental for my personal and rental expenses as the software seemed more snappy and there’s less waiting between movements.  I also like how quicken lists my properties and I have a nice snapshot of my net worth and how I’m doing overall.  I also like the rent center tab for entering rents for tenants.  Quickbooks kept duplicating or missing downloaded transactions creating more work on manual entries down the road.   Overall I like Quicken more, but it’s also not perfect and lately keeps getting errors on the bank downloads, requiring to remove the program, and then reinstall from a backup!  Receipt capturing is annoying with Quicken as well.  Both are wasting quite a bit of my time!  Is there a better program out there that people are using and love?   I also like to track my own personal expenses like fuel for my vehicle, home heating, and groceries too.

@Mary J.I would ask your accountant(if you have one) which software he uses. He/she will be able to troubleshoot you if you ever have a question.

I also agree with the above, I would use the desktop version of Quickbooks if you can.You can get a version for $200 that will last 3-4 years.People are also using Stessa

I use quicken and it’s over kill for 13 properties. Your cpa would probably prefer you use quickbooks so they can import your numbers directly but I simply print out reports for each property so it take less thank 30 minutes to enter those numbers.

I would use QuickBooks Desktop version for your rental but would use a different software for my personal transactions like groceries. Mint.com is pretty good.
