Sage Business Cloud Accounting Reviews & Product Details

With Sage accounting, I get to generate Quotations and invoices directly from the system to the client, with an already proposed email.

I've just started using it, but the more clients you are on board and users, the more expensive it becomes.

I can convert my quotations into invoices within the system with less hustle, and it is making my work much easier at the end of the day.

I enjoy the layout of Sage and the fact that it is extremely user friendly

I don't enough about Sage and everything it does to have any dislikes yet. I use a small portion of Sage for business purposes.

We use Sage for depreciation for our prepaid and fixed assets.

Am impressed with its module on invoicing where clients can just chose to pay from inside the receipt. This software is just wonderful all the featured in one.

Sometimes i have connectivity issues and that inconvenience my workflow and when you seek for customer support it is not all so effective they should improve on that.

Eliminating manual reconcilliation and key financial activitiesthrough automatic tracking and automatic syncing with banks and credit accounts.

User friendly and pretty easy to navigate through.

Wish I had more control over changing things.

We have Sage product and wish I had more features without everything having a price tag.

I like that the controls are better than QB, less room for errors.

Less user friendly than QB. Search function by amount is absolutely terrible.

I use sage desktop for all accouting for big company

First of all the innovation is appreciated, the idea of ​​making the entire ERP and CRM offer from the cloud in its entirety is a nod to the future. Secondly, the support of the Sage family, is a company with a lot of time in the market, developing products, working with independent talent and creating the figures of allies in the development of products. The guarantee of access from any device including Android and IOS, anywhere and at any time, is the biggest advantage of the Cloud ... Accessibility and Flexibility. The scalability has always been one of the strengths of ERP Sage. The addition and elimination of users, creation of groups, profile levels is done in a very simple way. The design and graphical interface is very interesting, the combination of colors, the modernization of the image of Sage, it is clear at all times for the user that it is a tool in the cloud, rather than a program that looks like an application at a visual level. The offer of complements and additional packages, very well delimited is an aouesta of markenting. The buyer has the option of complementing the tool with what he really needs. Although I have not verified it, the integration option of ERP and CRM different to the platform allows the migration of the company to this tool. I think it is a bet to position in the market and facilitate the change of non-traditional customer platform. The reports is one of the strongest points of this family of ERP, its integration with excel and spreadsheets, as well as, the infinity of personalization options is very attractive. In the same way, the integration with other tools and payment channels is one of the best ideas, the truth is that the people of Sage want to gain market share. It contemplates payment channels, and electronic commerce with novel aspects.

Like everything in life there are always points of improvement, namely: The cloud is a cutting edge tool, so its use is not fully accepted and is not commonly used in much of the economy. Just as there are people who validate accessibility and flexibility, there is another group of people who prioritize data security and integrity. For some institutions, the idea of ​​not directly storing their data in places they control is not very convenient. It depends largely on the access and speed of internet connection, in many areas and countries this is an inconvenience. The access from any device at the end is developed as information query, core activities are still very cumbersome to handle on mobile devices. The segmentation of packages gives the sensation of acquiring a very basic plan, incurring new investments when complementing the tool with the suite of complements. Which transforms into hidden or uncalculated costs. For companies of small and medium size, as well as companies from emerging countries, it is a costly tool, and even more so if the needs of the company at ERP level are clear. Although it is a friendly and easy to use tool, it is not standardized, which entails an investment in staff training. In some cases it requires investment in Hardware. You can further develop the part of payment channels, integration with Paypal, AirTm, Credit Card, and electronic commerce. Including marketing channels of emerging countries.

Data storage, the first benefit of the cloud is the ability to store large amounts of information. Substantial saving of disk space and servers. The management of the IT areas, of the developments and of the improvements of the program are in great measure of the manufacturer. The technical support is of good level, Sage is characterized by having a friendly website, a well trained staff, and offers acquisition plans that includes some media for free. The scalability is very user-friendly management of user groups, accesses, profiles, processes and communications. Access from mobile devices, little investment in staff training for the management of the application. The reports are very complete and easy to understand. One of the points of improvement of the Sage family was the implementation tied to Windows environments, in this version the integration with other environments is contemplated.

easy to use, not a lot of training is needed. Not difficult to set up user permission or right.

There are some data error once in a while and sometime it because so bad that I need to ask a third party to fix the data error. (Sage 's own data verification could not fix the error) It does do auto backup but if the backup has data error then the backup is not useful at all.

It is a standard account application that cannot be customized to your own industry so you need something other than Sage 50 to help you run the business. (like a PLM or other production related program).

My organization migrated from an on-premises based accounting software to Sage Cloud accounting. The gains were immense and immediately measurable. Being a service-based IT consulting business where time is money and mobility is an absolute requirement, the cloud-based solution made collaboration with our internal team and audits by our external accountants a breeze as no travelling is required. No more updates and long support calls. The system allows the user to jump to any financial period without any hassle.

- The automatic bank feeds function has been a problem and is prone to crashing. - Sage should also develop better training material, preferably on youtube. - The system does not warn you when there are duplicate bank transactions captured - this could be improved on. - The system does not inform you when there are new journals posted from the Sage Payroll integration - There should be alerts whenever changes have been made by the user or by other users (and integrated apps). - Support needs work - I have often spoken to support technicians/agents who have no knowledge of accounting or very little knowledge of how their own software works. As an expert user of the system, I expected better.

- We have completely removed the need for an outsourced bookkeeper as the system is easy enough to use for a basic user. - We have saved time and money in human resources and paperwork as we now keep electronic records on the cloud. - The financial data is easily exportable into other formats such as Excel, CSV and PDF - This makes it very easy and efficient to use the data in Sage in other financial modelling software.

The interface is super intuitive with clean menus making working a small feat to accomplish. With group menus from Customers to Suppliers, getting started is super easy even. I'm not even an accounting professional.

The quotation design needs to improve from just choosing from the templates to actually customizing everything to reflect brand identity. The interface can improve with a little bit of user guides, tooltips, live chat and more.

Financial management and accounting

I really like the main page that shows what is going on with all of the accounts. I can easily spot overdue accounts and get their invoiced printed and mailed the same day!

I didn't have many issues with the software, everything is pretty easy to understand. The main issue that I found was that I couldn't 'go backwards' with invoicing to attach it to a quote (at least I couldn't get it).

Sage makes accounting easy. I do not have a degree in accounting, just basic knowledge from school, so I was completely new to the accounting software. This was easy for me to do so that bills weren't missed and the clients were happy to get billed properly.
