Very excited to see the large number of reviews that say that the 2018 Quicken for Mac version is good enough now for Mac users to not have to run a Windows virtual machine just to be able to use Quicken for Windows.
Do you have somewhere a list of feature differences between the 2018 windows and mac versions of Deluxe or Premier?
Also, how long will it be before you have a Quick for Small Business for the Mac? I'd rather use that than sign up for Quickbooks.

- edited November 2018Good enough really depends on your needs..everyone is different and so it would be hard to generalize like this.

If you decide to migrate your data, you do need to convert. If your data is from QW2010 or newer, the mechanics are quite simple..copy data file over to Mac. Open data file with QM2018. The built-in conversion process will step you through but there are a few things you need to know; here is the entire process:
https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/faq-converting-from-quicken-for-windows-includin..
Since you did not specify which version of QWin you are using, review all the prep and background info before:
https://www.quicken.com/support/things-do-converting-your-data-quicken-mac-2016
If you need to use an intermediary version, as mentioned on that page, instead of getting QW2010, you can try using QW2013 available from Quicken for FREE here: https://www.quicken.com/support/how-and-when-use-intermediate-version-convert-older-versions-quicken
(that first page needs to be updated ;-) )
NOTE: Be aware that at this time, it is very difficult to convert back from Mac to Windows, as there are many problems with the reverse conversion process.
I also suggest that you make sure that Quicken 2018 for Mac will meet your needs, since it was re-written from the ground up (starting in 2010 with Quicken Essentials) and is not the same product as the Windows version,
since it is not an upgrade from QM2007 but rather from Quicken Essentials (which was re-written from the ground up, starting in 2010), so there are some features that are still not there e.g. full loan amortization*, 2-line display, QuickMath, or are not as fully developed yet, e.g. Customized Reports, some investment performance reports and stats (therefore some data may not carry over). You can start here:
http://www.quicken.com/mac/compare
*NOTE: Support for fixed rate loans has been released as of QM2017 v4.5.x but there is no announced timing for support for variable rate or simple daily interest loans.
You may want to review the [List of Obstacles and Hindrances for Migrating from QM2007 or QWin to Quicken for Mac][https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/obstacles-and-hindrances-for-migrating-from-qm20.. Add your vote to any features that are missing for you. Your VOTES matter!
Be aware of data that will and will not carry forward:
https://www.quicken.com/support/what-data-gets-carried-over
Then look at the updates since the original release here:
https://www.quicken.com/support/2018-release-quicken-mac-release-notes
You will also want to look at a more detailed comparison done by a SuperUser which also identifies nuances not mentioned elsewhere (and read on for comments from other users too on that same discussion thread):
https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/can-anyone-who-has-switched-from-2007-to-2015-he..
Take a look at the following videos to give you a better idea:
https://www.youtube.com/user/QuickenMac
Note that there are many differences that are rather subtle, that are not necessarily identifiable via documentation, for example, the 12-month budget feature does not allow including transfers, including investment income, selecting specific accounts, or have rollover capability.
If you find that QM2018 does not meet your needs, the alternative is to run Quicken for Windows in a virtual machine on your Mac. There are 5 popular products you can use: Parallels, VMWare Fusion, Oracle VirtualBox, Bootcamp or CrossOver. The first 4 require you to also buy a copy of Windows. The first 2 cost $50-80, the third and forth are free. CrossOver also costs about $50-$80 but does NOT require you to buy Windows.
If you plan to keep your PC & Mac, you could also run Quicken on the PC and use remote access (several free options, e.g. NoMachine and Teamviewer) to access Quicken from your Mac (or even a tablet or phone) (see this great article for complete review of many options (most are free): http://machow2.com/rdp-for-mac/ ).

Agreed..but actually, you can sort of have transfers show up in reports if you exclude one of the accounts in the transfers. This does not work for budgets.Meantime, Quicken Mac 2018 still lacks in reporting customization, the inability to include transfer categories in reports and the inability to include transfer payments or income in budgets.

- edited December 2017The inability to include transfers in budgets, and being told in previous versions its the 'long term goal' is pretty frustrating since that is a key feature in Windows. I can work around the difference in savings goals but not being able to add transfers in budgets creates additional work that is not necessary.
