PositiveSummary of a Reddit post
They set their Schwab Intelligent Portfolio fairly aggressively and found it lost far less than the S&P 500 in a down quarter, calling it working as intended despite lagging in the prior year, and like its cash interest.

They have held a less aggressive Schwab Intelligent Portfolio for nine years with strong yearly returns and a smaller drop in 2022 than the S&P 500, and value the free rebalancing and peace of mind.

They run part of their money in a Schwab Intelligent Portfolios account alongside a self-managed one, say it works fine with good reporting and active balancing, and rarely need to check on it.
Of the 83 reviews with a clear verdict, 47% are positive, 25% mixed and 28% negative. The praise mentioned most is easy to use. The most common complaint is rate dropped.
The praise reviewers mention most: easy to use (22 reviews), low fees (6 reviews) and helpful support (5 reviews). For example: They are very happy with Schwab Intelligent Portfolios, valuing the convenience and having professionals handle the investing for them.
The complaints reviewers mention most: rate dropped (4 reviews) and hard to cancel (2 reviews). For example: Six years on the highest risk setting still feels overly conservative and forces an 8% cash allocation, delivering underwhelming returns.
It's how well reviewed Schwab Intelligent Portfolios is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
