Sage Business Cloud Payroll Good for small businesses.
I have enjoyed my experience with Sage because it has made my work much easier with all the features that it offers. My month end close are smooth and quick.
PROSThe four step payroll process which increases my accuracy, Auto Adjustment which is also useful when you make an error on the payslip, the ability it has to produce various accounting reports. I highly recommend it for small businesses.
CONSThe only problem I have is that it is specifically for small businesses.

SAGE Software, always my first choice.
Sage Payroll is a game changer, if you have never done payroll before Sage Payroll is the way to go. Powerful software that is easy to learn, and with the first-class help desk nothing is ever a problem.
PROSSage payroll is a powerful piece of software that is easy to use, value for money, gives you a greater insight into employee costs and makes management easy.
CONSI have tried to find something I don't like, but to be honest it works really well. It is always updated with any government changes in plenty of time. With every update Sage Payroll just gets better and better.
Reason for choosing Sage Payroll
Better and more powerful software, better value for money. The company has a great reputation.

Payroll Simplified
Sage Business Cloud Payroll handles payroll functions effectively for my company. It also safeguards important documents and provides remote access.
PROSI like the fact that the free trial is able to secure and make readily acccessbile via the cloud features. Sage Business Cloud Payroll was very easy for me to integrate and use. My company's payroll adminstration has improved by 15%.
CONSThe time it takes their customer service to resolve issues is a bit long. The user interface is not too easy to understand.

Easily the best Payroll program
I love the fact that you can pretty much do everything in Payroll with this one software, bar a few rare features.
CONSIt can be a little clunky and slow at times. I think Sage really needs to focus on improving product speed and stability.

Sage Payroll
Great system to use but the support aspect in SA is lacking management and we have to make use of a third party to assist with issues which costs us more money.
PROSReporting is great Main menu with employee details is super helpful
CONSThe support in SA is lacking. The Consultants are not able to assist with queries or does not come back to one.

It's like Marmite! - you either love it or hate it
I like the summary page, as it highlights things that need doing, for example it lets you know how long you have left to send EPS.
CONSBefore making the move, I used Sage (desktop) for years and if i had to compare both then Sage Business Cloud Payroll lacks the functions that the desktop has and i found that difficult to deal with. However, Sage is improving this and more reports are being added.

PROSI love how easy it is to use! I use it daily and it’s so easy to keep up with my hours and set up my vacation time.
