OSU Updates for EWC Accounts Still Way To Slow

guybyny

Improved to 90 seconds for 6 EWC accounts (as opposed to 10 seconds for 6 DC accounts). This is unacceptable and if Quicken considers this RESOLVED then please cancel my renewal.

These days more and more I'm not looking at a lot of these threads because I find that the features discussed are always problematic and basically we as users are powerless to help anyone.  (the problems are systematic).

Since the change over to QCS Express Web Connect is now unfortunately on that list of why bother looking at it threads.  But just scanning the threads it seems that it either falls into three categories of problems (the ones that don't include the actual problems with the financial institution).  1) Not picking up transactions.  2) Slow performance.  3) Sync messed up.

And it seems like 1 and 2 are "opposites".  As in as they try to fix #1 they cause #2.  As they try to fix #2 they cause #1.

#3 is just because of the fact that sync hasn't every worked right, but it has especially gotten bad since they started switching to QCS.

The very fact that this is the suggested workaround:


Would bug the hell out of me. It is just like "Reset could data".
It is admitting that the system gets "hung up/corrupts data", and that should never be the "standard operating procedure".

On a personal level my "solution" is to avoid all the buggy features/services, but that is getting pretty hard to do.  I use to have 3 financial institutions that required Express Web Connect.  PayPal, Macy's, and Synchrony.  Synchrony never worked right and I only have an interest payment on most months, so it went to manual entry.  PayPal I was downloading because of customer payments.  Solved that, by stopping charging for ImportQIF.  That leaves Macy's, which I can't get rid of because my wife loves it.  So I switched to FDS on it.  What will happen when that goes away?  Luckily even though my wife loves the discounts on it, she doesn't buy much there.  And as such it will go to manual.

I feel sorry for the people that really have rely on these services working right.

FDS channel seems a lot faster performance.

Yes, EWC is still slow. I have gotten into the habit of including my EWC accounts in OSU only once or twice a week, instead of daily. In fact, I rarely use my EWC accounts because they are EWC accounts.
