### "Sage 50 2017"

October 21, 2016

5.0

I'm now controller for a Convention and Visitors Bureau and Sage 50 software is the best one I've used in my 30 years of working with business software.

Pros

Flexibility, logical set up and great reporting features.

Cons

Sometimes the upgrades are annoying, but aren't they all?

### "Too Rigid"

June 11, 2020

2.0

Lack of flexibility, fairly poor support. No choice of other software from Sage with more flexability.

Pros

Software observes standard accounting principles. No "Other" vendors, excessive flexibility seen in QuickBooks.

Cons

Much too rigid, worked with this software when it was Peachtree, and since change to Sage 100, no change to software in 20 years.

Reason for choosing Sage 50 Accounting

Client chose Sage 100 due to bookkeeping history in older version of software.

### "Not very current"

December 7, 2016

3.0

Very cumbersome to use with an outdated look. Reports are powerful but not always easy to figure out. Good at handling membership but not other "extras" like volunteering or events. Good choice for a very small organization without many records.

Pros

Simple to use

Cons

Very outdated

### "Accounting Made Easy"

November 7, 2017

4.0

Pros

For the small company that needs an easy to use accounting software this would be for you. Easy to install. Good customer customer support when you have the support package.

Cons

Sometimes not the most intuitive software you can come across. Support can be a hassle going through the verification process but as long as your have the support package you are good to go.

### "User friendly and complete solution."

January 22, 2019

4.0

Sage (peachtree) has very informative and user friendly interface, I personally like it for its interface, but got into trouble sometimes when uploading some data from external sources like excel sheet etc, Sage team needs to work on it too.

Pros

Its feature of referencing, like user can go into deep root of any transaction from trial balance and they dont need to go and open ledgers and individual transactions separately. User friendly customizable reports features are awesome.

Cons

Getting data into sage from excel or bank statement is very cumbersome. As user have to format files in prescribed format of sage.

January 9, 2017

We use sage 50 daily for our books and love it! I've been using it for over 5 years now. The only thing I wish it was able to be used with other programs for importing data too.

Pros

Easy to use.

Cons

Not comparable with any other programs I use.

### "Very easy to use if you dont mess with the accounts"

March 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to use and the pro of this software it can be sync with more software we use in the company. The customer service is good also, as we did request for a help and we had over the pc help and sorted our problem.

Cons

They got one issue with the reports when you want to send the invoice via email and if you do install the updates it will mess arround with the software. So we need to wait for the customer service couple of days to come with a solution. Nothing too big, but still essential.

### "Very BAD customer service"

January 16, 2023

1.0

The most frustrating was the customer service experience. We were not able to get call back numbers, they continually charged our credit card for service we could not access. Once we closed our account they continued to charge us for an additional 6 months. We would spend hours on the phone with seemingly helpful individuals who obviously knew nothing. Promises to call back were not followed up - they set up 3 accounts that they found confusing, we called every month for help and nothing was resolved. I am now filing fraud charges.

Pros

The salespeople were not helpful. They were good at selling the software but were not able to live up to any of the promises of customer support. We had to cancel our first subscription. They gave incorrect compatibility information and were even less helpful getting us onto the cloud based software.

Cons

It should have been easier than it was. We have gone back to using Quickbooks

November 27, 2018

Sage 50cloud was what we needed to start self-accounting, however it is not with out issues.

Pros

It's good for starting out without experience in accounting. The software is easy to learn and provides many report options .

It is more costly and a little outdated.

January 25, 2019

1.0

Pros

Program works is easy to use well but customer service is non existent will not support older versions

Cons

I needed my customer ID to re install the program and because I purchased the program in 2012 they would not help me all they offered was for me to upgrade to 2019 version. Totally inflexible customer service

### "Be sure to Demo this first to see if it will suit your organization"

July 9, 2018

3.0

Pros

We found it familiar to use for those that came from a Peachtree/Sage 50 background and could get over the learning curve.

Cons

The support plan pricing seemed a bit outdated and made us hesitant to make the commitment to use the software.
