But if you're not downloading transactions, and doing basic bookkeeping, the odds are good that you will find it good enough. I can tell you that I've found Quicken Mac meets my needs - but only you will be able to tell if Quicken Mac meets your needs. Some missing functionality will come in the future whether 100% of every Quicken 2007 feature will get implemented is less certain, as there are some things the developers may decide were used by very few people. There are some partial equivalents to Quick Reports, but you can't do everything from Quick Reports. You can't generate a report based on the text in a memo field (but you can do a Search on memo text, and print the results as a report.) You can generate reports for most investment data, but you can't yet save them as named reports, so you may have to play with the settings in your portfolio each time you want a particular investment report. For instance, you can't specify multiple levels of sorts/subtotals by rows. For a few people Quicken Mac still doesn't cut it. But for most people, the reports are fine, or at least good enough. Do they have every feature of Quicken 2007 yet? No. Reports have improved a great deal from Quicken 2007 to modern Quicken Mac.
But after I worked with Quicken Mac awhile, I found I like - and preferred - the one-line display, and found returning to look at things occasionally in Quicken 2007 actually jarring. The first time almost everyone switches from Quicken 2007 to modern Quicken Mac, they say "where's the 2-line register display?!" I did. (I was still using Quicken 2007 back in 2017, because Quicken 2017 was missing too much for me I eventually switched to modern Quicken Mac in 2020 because there had been significant improvements in reports and other areas of the program.) Since you have a copy of Quicken 2017, you may be aware that you now get constant notices when you launch it to upgrade because of changes and security upgrades, even though you aren't downloading transactions. It lacks a lot of features and fixes which have been made over the past 5 years.
Quicken 2017 was the last non-subscription version. They also need to keep adding features which users demand, many of which existed in Quicken 2007 or Quicken Windows and haven't yet been built for the modern Quicken Mac. Even if you don't use online services, they need to keep maintaining the program to work with the annual changes in the Mac operating system. (Note that it's not an "online subscription" Quicken is still desktop based, just as it has been.) This is the business model which keeps Quicken afloat. No, there is no alternative to an annual subscription.
