We switched over to MoneyDance several years ago and it imported over ten years 
of Quicken data with only a few problems. If I remember correctly, it had some 
trouble with split transactions.

According to what I've read, the problem with all the alternatives is that 
Quicken is inconsistent in creating its QIF file. Different versions of Quicken 
do different workarounds when they create the export file because QIF is a 
broken format. (Since Intuit created QIF, you'd think they'd want to fix it!)

MoneyDance has a free demo that will import your whole QIF file, but limits the 
number of new transactions it allows. You might want to try that.

I have a friend who swears by GnuCash, which is FOSS. You can’t  beat the price!
