Sage One 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Pros

Rich and robust software that allows for customization to best fit your business needs. Allows for multi-user access which make it very reliable.
Automated making the interaction between operations, sales and accounting to be seamless and efficient.

Cons

Function-wise the software is solid but i feel more can be done on its customer support documentation and forums as some issues have never been resolved due to poor support.

Having up to date and accurate financial reports that can be generated from the software easily and anytime they are required.

Pros

This software enables the organisation to keep track of their financial and cash overflow, and in turn make cognisant and accurate financial decisions.
Applicable to businesses dealing with logistics and supply activities

Cons

It may require initial training to a small enterprise that does not have employees with accounting background

Pros

Its ability to send real time accounting documents through its automated processes saves the company or organisation a lot of time.
Its add on modules give users a robust diversity to customize the system to best fit the organisations needs.
Automation of invoice generation, Local Purchase orders, credit notes, petty cash just to mention a few to communicate with bank accounts, make transactions and additionally update the records is actually very impressive.
Great support with free training.

Cons

They charge the most essential aspect of it which is the ability to use multi-currency. You would expect this to be free upon purchase of the system as after all it is an accounting system

Pros

Easy to add people and find their accounts, keeps records of late payers, & reminds you to update daily.

Cons

I don't like The date always has to be manually updated everyday. Can't recieve old detailed invoices easily.

Pros

This is definitely a step up from software like Quickbooks. The best feature is that it is cloud based as it says in the title. It works well for access anywhere and that's what is necessary.

Cons

This is what Sage was before it became Sage Intacct. I recommend going with Sage Intacct as it is a full software.

I love the security features; encryption of data and the extra validation of data that ensures safety of the information.

Pros

The ease with which one can learn and use this software coupled with the readily available customer service makes it on of the best accounting solutons

Cons

The absence of some features like inventory tracking and payroll makes this accounting software less popular as one needs to look for them elsewhere.
