Pros:

I enjoy using sage 50cloud because of its very easy to use interface. For accounting, you can perform all basic tasks to enable you prepare a financial report.Also it is built in such a way that there is some form of control to the activities users can perform simultaneously on the application.I recommend it 100%.

Cons:

The interface does not have a friendly look so if you are not familiar with it, you may believe it won't be easy to use.

Pros:

You can get into a great routine using Sage 50 Accounting - once you learn it, the daily usage is very easy.

This is very minor but it looks dated, like it resembles an excel spreadsheet. It may not look user friendly but once you start using it more, it's very effective.
