Sage Accounting

Avantages

Generally a very user friendly programme with excellent customer support.

Inconvénients

No batch invoicing so it is much more time consuming when entering multiple invoices for the same supplier.

Avantages

Standard procedures necessary for a small business.

Inconvénients

See comments above. It is impossible to communicate by e-mail. Have wanted to send details of Sage invoice payments to Credit and Collection Department but without success. They have threatened cancellation because of perceived non payment of a couple of pounds.

Pourquoi passer à Sage Accounting

Avantages

Banking helps so much, reconcile is easy to do. Invoices help keep up to date on payments

Inconvénients

Having to put all the customers in with all there details,

Avantages

The website is user friendly. One of its best features is its integration systems. I can easily connect Sage Accounting with other software such as Quickbooks. It also connects with Stripe. This feature allowed my business to qualify for funding because it showed an overall history of my payouts and business stability.

Inconvénients

Some of the more advanced features are included only in the more expensive plan which might not be affordable for every small business.

Avantages

I find purchase invoices and credit notes easy to input. I also find that calculating the VAT owed is user friendly. It communicates with revenue easily. Payroll is pretty straightforward too.

Inconvénients

What I like the least is trying to understand the summary page. I think that overall Sage could run more training so that users can get the most out of the package.

Avantages

I have a couple of years using Sage Business Cloud Accounting and have had a generally good experience. I liked the interface with its intuitive and clean menus. Although I'm not an accounting professional, setting up accounts was easy. The platform is very easy to use, makes data entry easy and allows you to sync bank accounts for added convenience. Plus, it's perfect for small and medium-sized businesses, and you can even manage two-business accounts at the base price.

Inconvénients

Something I don't like is that it doesn't have good integration with other software, the interface needs to be improved, since it becomes somewhat monotonous, the synchronization of bank information sometimes loads very slowly.

Avantages

Accuracy is the best & wonderful part of sage software.

Inconvénients

Price is expensive compared to other software in market .

Avantages

Ease of use and the fantastic customer support when it has been needed

Inconvénients

Certain small features that are missing but these are in development and Sage gives customers a way of suggesting new features.

Avantages

We moved from Sage 50 accounts to Sage one around 2 years ago when a member of the team left and it has been beneficial as we can log in no matter where we are and complete our work. It is also very easy to use and quick to train other people on.

Inconvénients

There is still work that needs improved and coming from Sage 50 that had alot of reports and functions it is hard to not have them.

Avantages

Sage is very cheap, but with it comes a entry level accounting platform. Definately not a Rolls Royce like Microsoft Business Central.

Inconvénients

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.

Inconvénients

I was spoken to rudely and dismissively by three out of four CS reps - which makes it seem like that is the culture @sage. One of them hung up on me. Bizarre was to treat a customer.The software itself seems ok, I didn't get a chance to check all the bells and whistles, because my poor experience with service came early in the process of me moving to sage. I'm glad that I didn't waste more time learning sage and integrating my flow with their product. After that garbage service I wouldn't trust them.

Avantages

Using inputting of invoices for both customers and suppliers makes doing the VAT easier

Inconvénients

We have not used the mobile expenses function

Avantages

Easy to use... when it is working. Interface very modern and quick to jump between the menus.

Inconvénients

No after sales. Lots of departments passing the buck. Any software is only as good as their support.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi passer à Sage Accounting

Avantages

The online store platform integrates easily with sage cloud accounting. Nevertheless, the customer service is shocking, shocking, shocking!

Inconvénients

the online store provider have no regard for longstanding and loyal customer - shocking and horrific customer service!

Avantages

The software is easy to use. But it it can be 10 times better if the right coders and designers is employed. Price, it is not the cheapest in the market but again African companies like their money and labour is expensive in South Africa. The system is slow as said when when you have more than a 1000 entries or stock items. Export function lacks functionality as only basic stuff can be exported. Compared to other software in the world....There is much better software in the market!

Inconvénients

Speed, the software is very slow for an online system. It lacks functionality. The price per user is expensive. The software also doesn't have a lot of 3rd party integrations. When it comes to e-commerce it integrates with a few shopping carts but the integration is very basic.

Avantages

Can get majority of reports right from SAGE.

Inconvénients

Implementation into internal systems was a challenge.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The main go to accounting software and as you’d expect, covers all required accounting aspects.

Inconvénients

The software cost is expensive for what it is and we don’t like the fact that Sage lock you in then annually push up the prices for new functionality that most people never want.

Avantages

Easy to comprehend even for a person with basics in accounting
I can monitor and track cashflow with ease, preparing payrolls is also a great feature.
Filing returns is not complicated with sage

Inconvénients

Complains from users at my workplace of their customer support

Avantages

Sage accounting software is widely known

Inconvénients

Sage accounting software support i snot the greatest.

Avantages

This accounting software is really good and provides detail information. Once you get familiarized with the system it gets easier to use.

Inconvénients

I think this software is not intended for beginners. I think the software is very specialized ideal for bookkeepers or accountants.

Avantages

Not much, I found it difficult to navigate.

Inconvénients

Reports were hard to understand, reconciling was a nightmare.
