No incentive was offered Managing campaign budgets and tracking ROI with Sage has been really wonderful. I use its financial clarity for my role as a junior digital marketing manager to keep a watch on campaigns so they stay on track.

Continuous tracking means that campaign budgets, expenses, and financial performance are always relevant and allow for immediate implementation. #### Cons While the user interface of Sage 100 is not my favorite part about the software, it could certainly use a bit of modernizing and an intuitive interface. For example, the automation of financial monitoring could also be expanded to save more time repeating tasks. #### Reasons for switching to Sage 100 In the past, when we used QuickBooks, it was a great general accounting application, but it wasn't specifically designed for marketing. Sage 100 provided more direct focus on the tracking of campaign performance and ROI, which was what we were after. --- ### Used for decades, won't be leaving anytime soon - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Kristian S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

HMRC love it which makes my life much easier. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Online backup is a life saver, having lost access once before to a PC we were back up and running within hours which meant there was no damage to our cash flow through invoicing. Everything is designed to be compliant in the UK which makes running a business easier. #### Cons Costs have increased substantially over the last few years which tend to be focused on features that we don't use and won't, which makes them technically an option.
