Pros:

Easy to use, intuitive and with great reporting tools that allow me to keep on top of my business performance. Invoicing to clients, profit and loss reports, VAT returns, keep up to date on cash flow and knowing how my business is performing every day

Cons:

I want to be able to compare this YTD performance with LYTD performance and that isn't possible to do

Fabulous and efficient.

Comments: I have used Sage for three companies previously and chose tonuse it for my own company.

Pros:

Its very to use and very thorough, it also has helpful cues if you get stuck.

Cons:

Not everything makesnit through to the bank reconciliation page.

Intuitive and easy to use even for an amateur

Pros:

Intuitive even for someone who is not a bookkeeper, connects to bank accounts to make reconciliation easier

Cons:

Takes a lot of resources and slows my computer down

Sage Gliches

Comments: Sage has a few glitches. It pulls through transactions twice from my account. Transactions that have been already reconciled suddenly re-appear. It has also put a transaction both in the income and outgoings. I find creating rules particularly difficult. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t

Pros:

I find navigating the site quite easy. Invoicing is easy.

Cons:

I find it hard to find help in the help centre. If you don’t put in the phrase it likes it can be quite difficult to find the answer to your question

Sage Ireland small professional business review

Comments: Positive, although one is slowed down slightly online waiting for pages to load.

Pros:

The product is has a country version specific to Ireland. The payroll and accounting are linked.

Cons:

Editing after payments is not allowed and when reconciling, if a payment for the next month is reconciled, you can’t roll back to the end of the last month to do a reconciliation to follow your printed monthly bank statements, and the bank column shows transactions but no balance column.

MY Sage and ME

Some features I asked for have not been added

Good online solution especially for Sage desktop software users.

Comments: The overall experience with Sage Accounting has been good, ability to work on the data by a number of people at the same time and the increased security of data has been a great improvement over a desktop software

It is quite complicated to use, not as straightforward as their competition.

Great Desktop Software

The only downfall of Sage Accounting is that it is a desktop platform

Happy With it

great integrations and does everything you need.

small and complicated to use for beginner.

Sage Online Accounting

Comments: The software is good and reliable. Very few errors have happened to the software, since we have moved to the cloud. So Good.

Pros:

You can log in from anywhere. Take on is easy. Invoicing is simple to use. Allocating receipts and payments straight from the important bank statements makes processing easy

Cons:

The stock system does not intergrate well between the stock holdings and values and the balance sheet. Extra modules are required for this basic function and this does not always solve the problem. This results in clients needing to continuously reconcile stock to balance the Inventory Valuation to the Inventory Ledger.The project management systems need to be improved so individual and multiple projects can be quickly monitored in an income statement.

Great customer service but not cheap!

Accounts with sage

Pros:

Liked could connect to clients device so no need to go on-site could work from home

I do think it could be a bit more clearer and shorter to use

The sales department will upsell you on features you do not need

Comments: The customer service is terrible. They do not return your call. They also tell untruths. I called them out on it and told them I was a CPA so to "save" their fibs.

It's good, but no better than the other softwares on the market. They all do essentially the same.

Cons:

The price. They upsell you on features you do not need.

Great Platform

Pros:

I like the stability of the program. I have been with Sage for over 13 years and previously with Peachtree. It has been very reliable.
