Veterinarian Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage50 in Vet practice " September 18, 2025 5.0 I find it convenient and mostly easy to use. I know that there are people I can call for support and training and I will have to do that. Pros I like that I can upload my invoices from another software program into sage and that I can use AutoEntry to Upload my receipts. Makes reconciling the bank account so much easier Cons I find it hard to correct mistakes sometimes . And when I download bulk invoices in I can’t see which ones are reconciled and which ones aren’t very easily Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting I knew other businesses that used it and the cloud based program with monthly fee was convenient for me. Also I know I will always be using the latest version this way. Review Source JM Jeremy M. Owner operator Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The app guy" December 2, 2025 5.0 It’s a good accounting program for small companies and the reporting is challenging and banking more doesn’t work to the level I thought it would . My accountant spends more time with the program over quick books . I told them to give it another year Pros The app for your phone , easy to do invoices , record payment and send emails and follow up with customers on quotes Cons Need better support when there are errors or issues with accounting to be able back them out and make notes Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting Cheaper and the old owner was using it and liked it . Review Source DK Derek K. Orthtist Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloud support does not exist" January 30, 2026 4.0 As above, sage 50 is good, support is good. Cloud? Was never able to use as my data would not migrate because I could not speak with anyone . Pros Sage 50 is good. Customer support is very good. Have been using for 20 years with no issues. Tried to move to Cloud…failure. Cons Sage Cloud customer support is terrible. You can only “chat” with support staff and they don’t seem to have a clue. You cannot speak with a human about Cloud. I tried to migrate my date to Cloud, didn’t work, tried for a week, could not speak with anyone. Decided to give up and go back to sage 50. Complete and utter failure on their end.

Bookkeeper Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great accouting software" December 11, 2025 5.0 My overall experience is very positive. It's very dependable and user friendly. I was very new to bookkeeping when I first started using Sage, and I was able to make my way around the software pretty easily. Pros They have awesome user support. Love the chat option especially. In all the times I've used it, I always have had an answer to my questions. Cons Wish we would receive or have a link to bug fixes and app upgrades. You have no idea of what has been logged as a bug or when and if it'll be fixed. Sometime there are changes in the app that we haven't been told about. That's probably the part I lease like. When there's an upgrade it would be nice to have a notification and have a link to read about the changes made.

Accounts Assistant Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effective if not perfect accounting system" July 29, 2025 4.0 Overall it has been a pleasant experience. Moving from one accounting system to another is always difficult however I didn't have many teething issues and on the whole the pros of using Sage Accounting outweighed the Cons Pros The ability to include attachments to journal postings meaning more detailed and descriptive backing of postings and being able to locate the backing with ease. Cons There is no easy way of viewing and tailoring reports to for example show postings made by a particular employee for a certain month. Prior to using Sage I used Sun Systems Q&A which was much easier to build bespoke excel reports that could run to show postings of relevant criteria Switched from [Infor OS](https://www.capterra.com/p/119914/Birst/) Due to a merger with another company we merged onto the parent companies platform Review Source PD Pierre-Marie D. president Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pretty bad " March 12, 2026 2.0 not very good, the product is very expensive for the fonctionality , i am keeping it just because migrating is a pain in the ...

President Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Program for Accountants" December 2, 2025 5.0 I run my small accounting firm with Sage. The majority of my clients also use Sage and I usually will not take a new client if they use any other program. Pros I have been using Sage for over 20 years. I am very familiar with the program and really like that I am able to look up journal entries in previous years Cons The uploading of the T4s has been problematic with the address fields for the employees. That is the only issue I had last year. Review Source EH Erika H. Business Owner Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "To Sage or not to Sage online! " December 12, 2025 4.0 Overall, switching to Sage online was an important part of the puzzle for me to transition into retirement. Pros I appreciate that I can work from anywhere! I also love that my assistant and I can both work on Sage simultaneously and network from different locations. Cons Customer service is the most difficult part of Sage. It is almost impossible to chat live with a human to figure out a problem.

Easy to learn how to use it and manage account, great customer service Pros the easy flow, I learned so quickly how to use the program with no background in accounting. Sage has a great flow and easy how to instructions Cons had trouble with over the phone support. the rep kept referring us to chat. would be nice if phone help was available Review Source DB Dianne B. staff accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage review" December 2, 2025 5.0 Always good! I prefer Sage to Quickbooks. I wouldn't mind taking some advance courses in Sage, either on-line or classroom setting. Pros I prefer Sage as the set up and format are user friendly, easy to navigate. Backup of a file is easy to complete. I work at an accounting firm so usually just get back up files. Cons The cloud version of Sage I found not as easy to navigate. We had one client that was using Sage cloud and it took a while for both of us to figure out. Maybe once more clients start using Sage cloud version it will be easier to use. Also I have had clients that have transactions on their bank reconciliations from prior years that they have never been able to delete and they have been told they can't be removed??

September 12, 2025 5.0 I love the product. The interface UX/UI is so much better than any other accounting software I've tried. Product is very intuitive to use. Pros How simple it makes tracking my expenses and write-offs. It saves me hours of stress during tax season, and makes my sales tax returns so easy because everything is already organized in one place and done for me. I also appreciate that invoices can be created, and payments can be taken in just a few clicks. Cons The connect to bank feature is quite glitchy, so I often have to record things manually which is unfortunate.

Managing Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage is Good but Could be Excellent " December 8, 2025 5.0 Overall I have a very good experience with Sage. I run another company that uses QuickBooks and Sage has a much better user experience. If Sage would read AP invoices I would be super happy. As noted in another comment above. Pros Easy entry, shared experience with accountants. UI is really good. The value for money is good. Online access is very stable. Cons It doesn’t automatically read invoices. You have to buy from a separate company while QuickBooks does it out of the box at no extra cost. Custom reporting is still problematic for me. I can not seem to be able to run reports on the various tags and projects I put into the system.

Warehouse Sales Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Find another Accounting system" March 20, 2026 1.0 Overall the product does it's job if you need something super simple and have a set customer base to input. Anything with walk in traffic and random misc invoices will be impossible to find later and make life hell for users.

Cons Searching for invoices, the QR code for payment, Invoice design, cant preset taxes per customer with excemptions, hassle to track items, customer support is brutal and very disappointing to deal with.
