Look here for a list: https://alternativeto.net/software/quicken/ but I don't think you'll find anything with Quicken's feature set. If you can be clear about your requirements, and those are limited, you will have better luck finding something.

Personally, I don't like the idea of handing my financial transactions over to a cloud service. Will they keep it secure? Will they mine them for ways to advertise to me? will they sell that info to third-party marketers? Even if not, if the company is bought out, will the new owners honor that commitment? No thanks...

This website lists free and paid alternatives to all kinds of software, including quicken. See if any of those will suit you:

I have 8 gigs and my old Dell Vostro Destop takes a little to start Quicken; but it takes a while to start everything. Once it starts, it's pretty good. One Step Update takes a while and the screen flashes black for a moment. I think a graphics card (I am looking at this one) or memory (I can go to 16 gig) would fix that, but I usually hit the update and leave the room for a snack or something and come back later.

I think the only Quicken book out there now is the Quicken Official Guide. Its about $25 but it is pretty good for a beginner to Quicken.
