Sage One Software

Sage, The Epitom of Accounting

Tracking my expenses was hectic. However, now with Sage Business Cloud Accounting, I am able to track and even cut down on expenses.

Pros

I love it's ability to automate the functions like reconcilliations.

Cons

The fact that it is effective only when linked to the internet was a bit of a downer.

Good Accounting Software

Pros

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

Cons

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

Easy-To-Use Accounting Program

Generally speaking I find this program easy-to-use and a cost effective way for small businesses to do their accounting online or on the road.

Pros

Easy-to-use, mobile device friendly, set was easy, cost effective

Cons

There is no option for multiple currency.

Best cloud based accounting software

Easy platform for non book keepers to keep a finger on the pulse of their financials

Pros

That you can have full access to all financial
detail of your business wherever you are

Cons

Maybe allow a link through for document storage to keep down the user space needed.
For instance if I upload my slips and document to Sage I’d quickly use up my allocated space, if it could link through to my dropbox where I get far more space

Sage is NOT User Friendly

I would not recommend Sage 50 to anyone.

Pros

They have made attempts to improve Sage's programs by offering Sage Cloud & Paya. If you can figure out how to use this program, you may find some of its features helpful.

Cons

This product is not easy to install or operate. I spent countless hours waiting for a representative to help me install, update, or troubleshoot issues we've had. It is hard to find data and is very behind the times.

Sage One for small to medium business

Pros

Sage One is a cloud-based systems that helps the customer manage their finances accurately and efficient.

Cons

This app is very helpful and the customer service is very accomodating so i don’t have any problem with this product

Accounting for small businesses

We use it for inventory, sales, purchases. It is easy to use once you have gotten used to it.

Pros

It is consistent and easy to use. Helps keep track of your transactions.

Cons

It doesn't import transactions on pay-pal.

Sage Accounting doesn't offer flexibility

Pros

I used Sage package for 20+ years in previous roles and found them hard to deal with in the past but for I do not know how they expect to deal with small businesses. It was better you had a dealer in between.

Cons

It doesn't offer the flexibility for small businesses that do not fit the norm and their customer support is poor.

Sage Busines cloud accounting allowing you to keep up to date whereever there is an internet connect

Pros

This cloud based accounting package is great to work with. It is simple to use and easy to learn. The standard accounting reports that a growing business are all available. Besides, this I am able to work on the system from home and don't need to move around with a laptop that has the software loaded as it is all in the cloud.

Cons

It would seem that sometimes the automatic invoice sending to clients doesn't work properly and some invoices have to be sent manually. This may however be a problem due to our system. Besides this, we are happy with everything else.

Wilford

Pros

This cloud based package allows us to check our current business status online at anytime. All the company financial data is at your fingertips to check

Cons

We have had a few problems sometimes with customers not getting invoices. This may be something that needs to be worked on.

Take that, Quick Books!

Learned it quickly, learn it more all the time, never been intimidated, never had it crash, it's really been a breeze.

Pros

Sage is great. It does what I need it to do, doesn't take a class to understand it. It is so user friendly. I think it is some of the most straight forward yet in depth software on the market. You can be computer illiterate and understand Sage in a week and yet it isn't like a dumbed down program. It is universal and I like that.

Cons

I have only one complaint about Sage. Some of the copy and paste functions cannot be used for some reason. It isn't just in one area, it is random. If that is the only bad thing I have to say.....that's better than most.

Sage Accounting - Review

Pros

This is a great software for all businesses, even small ones with simple financial needs

Cons

When doing edits to an invoice items, changes have to be done individually, which can be tedious

Business accounting made easier

Remarkable time of learning on the go, I love the innovative way sage 50 approach business management

Pros

It's a great thing to advance with the trend of technology now that the world is going digital and that is what sage 50 has offered us the business managers

I love ťhe fact that I can monitor my inventory anywhere I am in the world

With my experience, I can say that Sage 50 is the new generation of accounting management

Cons

The modules are not all self ed explanatory, one may need to go for a series of training to find his way around the software

Shocking support and behaviour from their new online shop division

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, we ended up paying a large sum of money for the move. The service level of the new "SAGE" company was horrific, the treatment we received was shocking, everything took weeks and months to finalise. We ended up doing most of the work ourselves and then received a bill for their general set up package and for re-directing the pages to the new site. Unbelievable and shocking! We are also using their accounting software that we like, if we find another way of integrating the accounting part easily with another online shop provider, we will move. They do not deserve our business as they clearly don't appreciate loyal and long standing customers.

Pros

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

Cons

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

Sage Customer Service is terrible, they will charge you for things you don't use or pay for and not refund you

Shame on you Sage accounting. Small business stick with quickbooks.

Pros

It has Accounting features. It fuctions, but unfortunately the company has terrible customer service and will steal your money.

Cons

This company charged the personal credit card of a small not for profit company that had declared bankruptcy months before, because they had it on file from the previous year. Months after insolvency was declared and the employee had been laid off, she found the charge on her card. Despite many phone calls explainibg the mistake that had been made nothing has been done. Terrible company that would put a laid off, soon to be mother in this position. Shame on them.

On the Wright path

Well if you have clients like I do it will make your life easier and more organized

Pros

I first had this software when it was peach tree. It has a ton of features more then you will ever need with the ability to back everything up.

Cons

It takes time to learn there is so much. I would start using this software has soon had you can. I started using it in the middle of my second year of business back in 2014 and it time some time inputting data but once it's there this software made my life a breeze but you will need to take time to set it up

I have been using Peachtree Complete Accounting for over 16 years.

Easy now to manipulate. I only wish I could input my bank information into Peachtree but it will not except it.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Very good help tool in business accounting

Being able to organize accounting in my independent business

Pros

It is an easy tool to use, it is quite complete and you can enter and upload invoices easily, being able to access from any device is great.

Cons

It requires more customization and speed when loading the files.


In General: a fairly complete and more accessible tool in terms of costs. Well offer a free trial month so you can make decisions

Sage one has good features that can support a small business

Pros

It's affordable for small and medium business owner
It's Flexible to set up and configure
It's User Friendly

Cons

It's not easy to customise. Users are stucked to the way software forms look and feel instead of customising it the way they wanted
It still requires extra add on

Very slow system when items is above a 1000. We are on 100meg lines and Sage Accounting is terrible.

It's just a basic accounting software.

Pros

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!

Cons

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.
