Quicken Online

Quicken Online's end of life is one of the few successes on this list in that its closure made way for Mint.com, which Intuit had acquired last year to the tune of $170 million. But one thing that kept the transition from being a walk in the park was that Intuit made it rather difficult.

The company had originally promised that all Quicken Online data would be transferred automatically, before later changing it to a manual transfer. It also made users do that transition before the year was up, causing trouble for those who intended to keep using the Quicken Online product to get a full year of standardized financial records--something Mint could not quite match on a feature to feature comparison.

Quicken Online was shut down for good on August 29.
