Vorteile

It's easy to understand and drill down to a transactional level. I'd say it's still built for people who have an understanding of accountancy rather then being built for day to day business user.

Nachteile

Has stood still for a period in time but seeing more improvements with each update and new features.

The clunky thin server is called SagDrive.SageDrive is a service that allows sharing between a server and terminals via one central point (hosted by Sage). It is slow and gets quickly out of sync with the sage server.

Vorteile

I love bank feeds and the reconciliation is done for you and you just have to finalise. No usual ticking one by one which is time consuming. I can also use projects and departments for my clients dealing with various projects. Having features that cut down on time is such a great integration with our business as you can work on many clients which enables you grow the business.

Nachteile

The only lease aspect is not being able to amend a few items especially if you have used bank feeds, you have to un reconcile then unclear items delete and amend. This is then time consuming and perhaps sage can improve on that.

Vorteile

Sage 50cloud Accounting is critical to our Company. We selected Sage because of how easy it was to navigate through the site, the reports we could get from it, having the Customer Service Support and having the Webinars to all fall back on if required. I have availed of quite a few of these and they have been so beneficial to me. Having the telephone support is also advantageous and the security of knowing the customer service consultant will stay on the phone with you until your query is resolved.

Nachteile

The thing I like least about Sage is probably Report Designer. This I think is partially my own fault as I need to maybe learn more about the intricacies of it. A webinar is probably in my near future for this.

Vorteile

This system is easy to learn and use, with additional options to learn more

Nachteile

Sometimes the system can be a little slow on processing changes

Vorteile

Sage is very user friendly and offers all of the options required to operate a small business. The insights provided are excellent and flexibility available is more than adequate.

Nachteile

It is lacking a little in terms of the add-ons when comparing to other products. Other than that an excellent

Nachteile

To easy to manipulate past data. Import system is broken and allows for errors without indication.

Vorteile

Very easy to set up and easy to use with great functions. I'm sure there are many I don't use.

Nachteile

I Can't fault Sage at all. There isn't anything that I can think of that is classed as a 'con'

Vorteile

The product is very easy and straightforward to use and meets all our business needs.

Nachteile

The overall visual look of the software changed several years ago, with the headers etc. changed to a basic grey colour. I personally found this extremely difficult on my eyes, especially when working on the software for several hours a day. This was definitely not an improvement in my opinion.

Vorteile

The desktop is easy to navigate. The personalisation of invoices and reports allows you to put your own stamp on the produc.

Nachteile

Sage has a tendenc=y to get 'clogged' up at times and can freeze which irritating.

Vorteile

SAGE allows you to track all AP and AR with ease of use. It allows for project accounting which is very important to our organization.

Nachteile

There could be room to adjust financial reports. For example, HST is important for tracking and it's not easy to pull reports that show true HST.

Vorteile

It is professional software for accountants. It is fast and has no downtime.

Nachteile

It is far behind QuickBooks Online. Sage needs to improve its user interface. it is okay for an accountant to use but I found it hard for clients to work with it.

Vorteile

Nothing, the ACH was overpriced and Paya customer service was rude.

Nachteile

Doesn’t honor refunds, doesn’t work on Mac as advertised

Vorteile

Sage 50cloud is affordable compared to other accounting softwares. It is also very easy to navigate. I recommend for small business owners without accounting background.

Nachteile

There is room for improvement. There should be a way to record invoices as partly or fully paid. Also no purchsse order and credit note functioning module.

Vorteile

Sage 50 is extremely easy to use and capable of adapting to most small to medium size business needs. Because Sage 50 has evolved there are also many partners available to help create custom reports, or extend the core functionality of Sage 50.

Nachteile

Unfortunately, Sage 50 doesn't allow a lot of customization to workflows, data collection, etc. It also does not collect some key data that is imperative to doing business in today's age, such as Phone Numbers and Email Addresses when creating Quotes, Orders, and Purchases. This is critical data when working with customers. Sage 50 also limits the number of contacts associated with Customers and Vendors to 20? This isn't enough, and, why limit it?Lastly, Sage 50 offers a low Database Size before it becomes sluggish and somewhat unusable, forcing data purging.

Warum Sage 50cloud Accounting gewählt wurde

Zuvor genutzte Software

Vorteile

Very good Accounting Software at the time of purchase, Not so any longer.

Nachteile

Peachtree has taken it upon themselves to deactivate perpetual licenses that I have purchased, meaning I have versions 2009, 2011, 2013, 2020 that I use for several different clients. I can no longer use these on my different computer or reactivate them on a new machine. They are trying to force me to upgrade to their cloud accounting system and I do not want my clients information on anyone's cloud. This is the primary reason I purchased Sage accounting to keep data on my own computers. Sage does not have the right to force me to keep my accounting records on a cloud not do they have the right to cancel my perpetual licenses. This action by Sage is nothing less than dishonest and is cheating the customers that the say they value. I have been using Peachtree accounting since their very first version in the early 1990s. now I have to find or write a software to fill my needs.

Vorteile

pas de support téléphonique de disponible.

Nachteile

Après un changement d'adresse et changement de carte de crédit en juillet, mon abonnement n'est plus accessible. Le compte sera fermé le 15 octobre si ce n'est pas réglé. Service à la clientèle épouvantable. Après avoir discuté avec 2 personnes, elles m'ont raccroché la ligne au nez. Ensuite j'ai réussi à parler à quelqu'un d'autre et ma dit qu'il ne pouvait m'aider.

Vorteile

I like the structured way the system is set up, and that it makes it very easy for seasoned accountants to work with the "nitty-gritty".

Nachteile

I am not sure I would say there is anything I don't like, perhaps the one thing I find a bit complicated is the import function.

Vorteile

If you are used to Sage is very easy to use and setup. It includes a lot of helpful features and great reporting features. Support is great.

Nachteile

Sometimes the loading speed is just awful (my internet connection is very fast, do not blame my side), slow loading. UI can be upgraded a little, but this is not a deal breaker.

Vorteile

Muito Completo e com muitos recursos uteis e prontos a ajudar em todos os momentos

Nachteile

Algumas Funções estão um pouco escondidas, mas nada que a prática nao resolva.

Vorteile

I love how in-depth the data/ reporting is, whilst still being so user friendly. It is such a great tool for everyone at every level in the accounts department. I also love how good the support is, there are so many different ways to contact them for their expert advice.

Nachteile

I don't have any negatives, Sage keep on top of things, offer upgrades/ updates when needed and also keep everyone in the loop if there is new legislation/ information coming out, all free of charge.

Vorteile

Working with Sage is not hard at all, is was build to be intuitive and easy to sue. After connecting it with the bank account reconciliation works great and is very fast to do. Downloading the reports from Sage is easy they are very informative and complete.

Nachteile

Slow loading problems are very frequent.

Vorteile

La agilidad de cambio de empresa y la facilidad de crear factuaras.

Nachteile

El tener que cerrar las paginas para cambiar d empresa, entiendo que es para no liarlo, pero se podría poner un comentario en la ventana de la empresa y ya estaría.

Vorteile

Sage makes it incredibly easy to set up new customers, new vendors, and new products. In as little as 5 min I can have a new product set up, have a new customer set up, and have a quote emailed over to them with an estimated cost.

Nachteile

The only area we struggle on is breaking an items case down. We may purchase a case of an item and sell individually. We had to create our own SOP on how this works in Sage so other people would not mess it up in the system. Once you understand it, it no longer is an issue. Every time someone new is working in the system we have to review all items they set up to ensure they dont make the typical mistakes.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Unlimited number of products, customers and vendors you can have.

Nachteile

There is a limited number of characters you can enter into shipping and billing addresses

Vorteile

Functionality, ease of use, annual licence fees are not expensive, customer service/assistance is great.

Nachteile

You need to be extremely accurate in your loading of data, if batched and incorrect, you cannot go back and make any changes, you would need to do additional admin on new batches to rectify.

Vorteile

Software de qualidade com as opções necessárias para cada negócio!
Intuitivo o suficiente para que se consiga começar logo a trabalhar após instalação.
Atualizações sempre que necessárias e atempadamente!

Nachteile

Poderia ser mais 'personalizável' em termos de oferta de funções, já que tem muitas coisas que não tem utilidade para a nossa empresa mas que estão incluídas. Poderia ser possível eliminar algumas delas e isso teria impacto no valor a pagar mensalmente!

Vorteile

Es un programa potente y con pocos fallos rápido y robusto

Nachteile

Los enlaces con PrestaShop muy caros, también los enlaces con programaría no son suficientes

Vorteile

It is comprehensive, covering all aspects of daily bookkeeping, invoicing, sales ledger and payables managing, bank reconciliation, all the way upto trial balance report in one software. You don't really need to keep other records or reconciliation. This is especially useful and efficient.

Nachteile

It is relatively expensive, especially for small business if they only use certain features or functions of the software but not all of them, however still have to pay for the whole package. That said, it is very good for a growing company, as when you need to use certain more advance features or functions, they are ready at hand.

Vorteile

That can share with colleagues and work remotely at home

Nachteile

Nothing completely happy with this product never let me down

Vorteile

basic appearance of the program, simple and clear accounting program

Nachteile

Difficult contact with customer service, It's difficult to contact by phone

Vorteile

Despite our size, Sage really professionalises our finance. So easy to keep track of how we’re doing, cash flow, P&L at the touch of a button and Balance sheet. Couldn’t do without it.

Nachteile

As a non finance person (but with a good level of knowledge) I find it difficult to understand the ‘how to’ articles from Sage when I need help.

Vorteile

The software is pretty easy and intuitive and would be good if it worked, but it fundamentally does not work. Not like it doesn't work for us, it just doesn't work and they can't tell us why. By not work, I mean scenarios like you enter a purchase invoice for inventory and the inventory number doesn't go up by the amount you bought and then the program adjusts starting inventory values (from 15 years ago) on the fly.

Nachteile

It is not remote capable like it says. Our files get corrupted constantly and they blame it on the cloud computing. We have corruptions that no one at sage knows how to fix and they don't continue to fix it. They have no problem leaving a small business dangling and had the audacity to refer us to a third party. They don't have any recommendations or help on how to avoid corruptions. They don't have any utilities to help fix the corruptions we have. Their solution is to usually restore from a backup, but they don't have anyway to download and re-upload transactions from the period between the backup and current so you have to print off all your old transactions and then re-enter them. In the cases where they do manage to fix a corrupted file, they charge you for that "privilege". The software also doesn't necessarily keep debits and credits in balance. They're posted solution for this are some custom admin transactions to force balance, rather than find the source of their own non-double entry errors. If for example the accounts receivable ledger doesn't match the sum of the customer sub-ledgers, they don't have a way to see what their program got wrong, they tell you to do an adjusting force balance entry. Same goes for inventory and accounts payable. It may be related to our unsolvable data corruption issues, but again, they don't have a solution for the underlying missed transaction - they say to ignore it and force the books to balance.

Vorteile

Easy to use, Logical in the way it works, Great reports and brilliant support.

Nachteile

I cant think of anything that would make me use another software

Vorteile

The day to day use of this accounting system is quite easy.

Nachteile

Since 2017 the cost has risen approximately 130%. Rather alot of money for a small business.

Vorteile

Une facilité dans la compréhension, les tutos vidéo sont une bonne aide

Nachteile

Assez chère, mais cela s'explique, car la solution est vendue par des revendeurs

Vorteile

As a user of Sage 50cloud Accounting, where I capture and process accounting information of behalf of my client's business, I do appreciate that there are built in compliance controls that ensure common human errors are prevented. In addition, this software does allow for some customization, such as adding logo or unique design to the invoices.

Nachteile

I do not have any complaints of Sage 50cloud Accounting as an accounting software.

Vorteile

Es intuitivo, confiable, rápido. La atención es personalizada y rápida

Nachteile

La mayor desventaja que encuentro es el precio,

Vorteile

Facile a utiliser, permet d'avoir une aperçu de la santé financière de L'entreprise très facilement.

Nachteile

Pas facile de faire des changements pour programmer les informations de l'entreprise ( logo , adresse , nom entreprise , conditions de paiement ) quand on veut changer ou rajouter pour la page facture au client.Ne permet pas de faire la paie de construction pour nos travailleurs au Québec , je dois utiliser un autre logiciel, ce qui reviens assez cher .

Vorteile

The user interface is fairly well laid out with good online documentation when there is a problem.

Nachteile

It is not strictly a cloud service and requires regular software updates which can be problematic when there are multiple users is the business. We used an RDS machine with multiple users logging in to overcome this. However, this does make it expensive.
