This software has helped us to have all the necessary reports for the government. We recommend it if you want a complete one.
It is a complete software to manage your business accounting. We have been using Sage since it was Peachtree. Now you can manage the accounting everywhere with the cloud feature. You can manage sales, inventory, employees, estimates, purchases/sellers, and so much more.
You can be confused sometimes because all the windows are similar.

The overall experience is definitely good and it's worth every penny if one can afford it.
Sage Accounting application improved our efficiency and business processes by much. It's features are integrated and there's no functional flaws at all; we can trust it's reports!
When you have 10+ users, it'll be a bit expensive to maintain Sage. Besides, initially the learning curve to get accustomed to it's features may take some more time for the traditional ERP system users

We had been one of their first online store users when SAGE started with their online store offer. Then the support and customer service was outstanding. Sadly they outsourced their online shop to another company and we needed to move our existing online shop to a new platform. One would think that "SAGE" would facilitate this move for free, as the old platform was discontinued. Well that was not so,...
The online store platform integrates easily with sage cloud accounting. Nevertheless, the customer service is shocking, shocking, shocking!
the online store provider have no regard for longstanding and loyal customer - shocking and horrific customer service!

Features! The wide array of features from automated invoice generation, reminders to follow-up actions, report & analytics generation for sharing with shareholders or investors, etc. make sage a must-use for small and medium enterprises. Cuts down unwanted bottlenecks in finances, payroll, while saving significant costs and downtime.
Pricing is a bit steeper compared to alternatives. Although the premium pricing is justified by sage's product, I feel it is still not accessible to early stage companies. Maybe, a specific plan focused on start-ups offering only limited features that start-ups use on a day-to-day basis would be fantastic.

First of all i had no accounting software, no quoting and invoicing software. so this just makes my document presentation just that much more professional looking. also i only have to do the basic, and it does the rest for me.
As a non accounting person, i found this software to be just what the tax man ordered in terms of financial accountability features. it's so easy and and intuitive to use, i was able to get started on the first day and even issued a quote to a client.
well, i had trouble linking my business bank account to the software, but that could be the bank...

very good, all the accounting department can work with it.
the robustness of the software, it does not save locally any file, is connecting to the server for every query.
the price is very high, the company need to be bigger to be able to pay this software, the customer service is not very good in the it section, they are accountants.

Overall the experience is good. They can definitely work on their email support.
The ease of the setup and use of the software. It was written so that anyone can use it. Very simple, yet poewerful.
Some of the features that were advertised when pitched to us aren't available. The customer and supplier age analysis reports should have totals.

Incredible experience, easy to use and helpful to develop the business.
Sage Business Cloud Accounting is an innovative solution based on the sage software that allows to combine the original one with the cloud solution, as future and digital transformations needs.
The software is quite expensive if companies does not needs all features presented.

Ability to meet the objectives of the finance department and make the workflow alot easier in terms of maximizing the efficiency
The ability to integrate with other Sage solutions was great. We had some other 3rd party solutions which needed to be integrated and the ISV already had integration points available
The price was a little off but we if you need the solution its worth the extra cost

Sage is a very reliable and powerful option for a small business. Being able to handle accounts on mobile is very useful. It could end up being pricy for larger business, though.
Banking integration is very useful, and it is nice to be able to track transactions easily. The reports available are clear and concise. Being cloud based, the mobile integration is very handy.
It does look a bit dated. Payroll is an added extra, so for a medium to large business the costs could increase dramatically. The ability to track time would be useful.

Excellent, the more you learn about the software the more possibilities to improve your business, an all in one package.
With starting on a new venture it was imperative to start off with the right software, Sage gives us everything we currently need in terms of invoicing, banking, ensuring all payments (in & out) are allocated, plus the flexibility to set up your own product codes & pricing structure specific to our business.
I would like to see a word search feature included in the invoice and purchasing section, rather than have to go through individual invoices to find the product I am looking for.

From AutoEntry to sage accounting to sage final accounts. I like the bank feed within sage accounting - all time saving.
Bulk nominal changes would be a good addition. Otherwise I have to go into each individual invoice
Hi Kerry, Thanks for the great feedback and glad you're loving your accounting product. Very best wishes Sage

Using Sage One allowed us to combine our Accounts and Payroll systems into one. It makes it easy to manage our accounts from any location and on any device. It also removed the worry of backing up and securing our accounts records.
The fact that Sage One is cloud based, is probably the best feature. No more endless backups and annoying updates to perform. Everything is taken care of and the support team are amazing. It's also simple to grant access to your Accountant, who can then do whatever that need to when it's your year end etc. A very clear interface provides an overview of your current situation and makes it easy for you to do your everyday tasks like entering and raising invoices, or checking who owes you money. You can easily produces account statements and everything can be emailed straight to your customers, so far less physical paperwork.
The Invoicing template choices are limited, but with a bit of creativity, you can definitely make something you can work with. The thing that needs the most attention is the method by which invoices and statements are emailed out. they appear to be from the email address you give the system, but are sent by Sage. Consequently, some clients weren't receiving their emails. We just turn any invoices into PDF's and email them ourselves. No big deal as we are still paperless, but it would be nice if we didn't have to. hopefully something that will be addressed on a future update.

My accountant can open a copy and quickly finish the year and tax preparation saving me time and money.
I have used it for a very long time and it works very easily for me. It has evolved but never change so much as to make it difficult to keep using using. Sage has much more than I need but is still competitive with price and easy to use what I need.
I never got the hang of bank reconciliation to work faster than manually but is me and I do not have a great deal of entries.

No comment, as it was developed by Pastel and not a lot of effort was placed in developing a descent accounting platform.
Sage is very cheap, but with it comes a entry level accounting platform. Definately not a Rolls Royce like Microsoft Business Central.
Uploading and deleting items and customers and suppliers. Very entry level. This product does not come close to Business Central. Sage is more an accounting platform for third world countries.

I phoned and chatted online with Sage One (Sage Business Cloud?) customer service technical support 8 days ago over an issue and have also emailed them every working day since and they just keep telling me that they have logged the issue and it has been passed to their Development Team. In the meantime I can't send invoices. What's the point in offering 24/7 customer support if they just log the issue and make you wait over a week for a fix?
Good interaction with payroll and Pension software, banking etc. Easy to use. Can use from any pc.
Long list of minor but annoying issues, like it does not accommodate UK net monthly account customers/suppliers, the default dates on functions only show the current month. The only way to avoid the contact name appearing on the invoice address is to put a full stop in the contact name box (so the first line of every invoice is a full stop). Product list doesn't section so you can't add a percentage to one customer or one type of product. Appalling customer service for technical problems.

This software was extremely easy to set up and provides excellent access for multiple users. Date entry is very simple and less repetitive than other software I've used. The online chat feature is excellent for solving simple problems or getting help when you cant find what you need in the available online resources.
Two things need attention. One is the ability for a charity to set up HST receivable in a simpler manner. The other is the ability to contact someone to solve a problem. Support is managed through online chat and it is very difficult to speak to a live person. I've had an issue caused by a glitch in the system and have been unsuccessful in solving the issue for the past 9months.

very pleasant.
Easy to navigate, simple to use and looks the dogs.
There is no feature from sage itself for online payments. Subbing it to stripe is very expensive for big payments. I wish sage would have this feature included within their monthly billing and for small businesses we wouldn't get stung so badly with these card charges.

Easy now to manipulate. I only wish I could input my bank information into Peachtree but it will not except it.
I have been using Peachtree Complete Accounting for over 16 years. It has taken many years to learn because I was never trained on the software.
My only issue with Peachtree Complete Accounting with Sage is the customer support. You have to wait hours to speak with someone if there is an issue especially if you call you have to just leave your name and number. During tax season it is impossible to reach someone. I once waited over 4-6 hours to get a response.

diabolical
Ability to use on an Ipad - initial reason we moved from SAGE 50 to this software, however after 6 1/2 months with not a huge number of transactions the system has just got slower and slower the ipad works perfectly on all other software just sage is the issue
Migration didn't work Unable to adapt reports Entering payments is a clunky problem as you can't batch in a list of payments you need to keep clicking on payment receipt Online support forum in SAGE doesn't get answers unless it happens to be something they already have in process they should ignore the quests

Easy enough to use.
As an online accounting system (enterprise) it does what any company and industry would need. You can configure it based on your company processes, but the reason you would want to use this, is that they have streamlined the process that you can adapt to, instead of the other way around. Why re-invent the wheel?
Too proprietary. You must go through their accredited vendors to do most of the modifications and reports, unless you train and really go deep.

It is great. During the lockdown period it has carried us.
It's on cloud, you can access it anywhere. Hardly experience downtime. We were informed when the system was down. They were busy with upgrades. It has very good and user friendly, built-in reports. I also liked the bank integration by linking sage to the bank and upload seemlessly. Customer invoices can be emailed directly and there is an email report.
There is no hard close. Even it the period is closed, you can go back and reopen and make changes. This compromise data integrity.

What I like is that it's a powerful tool with customization capabilities. It accurately keeps track of our inventory as long as there's no human error
It's a little buggy at time. Since it's so customizable, it's up to the developers to establish the database and how each database interact with each other. There are just things we wished were implemented by the dev from the beginning.

Straightforward and easy to use. Was very quick and easy to set-up, get customers on and get invoices sent out.
Easy to use and understandable. Produces reports that allow you to quickly see the information you need. Easy and quick to create and send invoices out. Like the fact I can access it from anywhere and on any device.
Frustrating when the server is overloaded or experiencing high-demand and then unable to access Sage One.
