### "Sage 50 Premium Accounting Review"

February 28, 2017

3.0

Pros

1\. Relatively easy to learn 2. Payroll function is simple and efficient 3. Reconciliations are simple

Cons

1\. Cannot find a way to save invoices and pay stubs directly to PDF on my computer. I have to print them out and then scan them so they can be saved as PDF, which is more time consuming. 2. Sometimes it is difficult to reverse a transaction or paycheque if you make an error. 3. Reports function is not as good as QuickBooks.

### "Overall a great product for beginners."

November 1, 2017

4.0

Pros

It is very user friendly and easy to maneuver for first time users. It is able to give and create a variety of reports that are needed.

Cons

It is not capable of creating and printing some more detailed reports that are needed for accounting.

### "Convenient Accounting"

November 20, 2018

4.0

The major benefit for me is having access to the cloud stored database so I can work on what I need to when I need to do it no matter where I am. I am not tethered to my office to do the work.

Pros

Having access to accounting books anytime whether at the office or elsewhere.

Cons

One of the big limiting factors for me is that you can only have one person access the cloud database at a time. Thus, if I am working on reconciliations, others in the company with other bookkeeping tasks cannot make changes and it takes some coordination between myself and others who physically work in the office.

typically works well without issue, but the occasional issue can often require slow or tedious solutions. Support is usually very effective and helpful.

Pros

very feature rich, especially when compared to quick books

Cons

Admin/maintenance side is difficult and not intuitive

### "Not too special"

January 16, 2018

3.0

Have been using this software since Peachtree Days. Not too happy with it anymore but I still use it for some smaller companies.

Pros

Ability to easily format Invoices and Statements. Good flexibility on use of account numbers and financial statement formatting.

Cons

Constant pressure to upgrade to latest edition. Now only available as a subscription service at a higher cost than competing software products. Seems to take a long time to load program.

### "Disappointing and overpriced"

August 19, 2020

2.0

Pros

It works as a double-entry accounting software application.

Cons

It's clunky, unintuitive, reports are difficult to run, customer support is virtually useless, and too many issues are relegated to "needs a workaround" rather than being resolved permanently by Sage.

### "Good software - no support"

August 9, 2018

3.0

At the end of the current fiscal year we will have a serious look at purchasing a different book keeping package from another company

Pros

We use Sage 50 Premium. the software itself is quite simple to use and the explanations in the help function are good. There are a few bugs in the program that can create entries that cannot be corrected or deleted.

Cons

Without purchasing a support package there is no support what so ever. Even when I called to report the bug mentioned above the support personnel would only refer me to the sales office to buy a support package.

### "Great Accounting Software!"

May 18, 2017

4.0

I have been on Sage 50/Peachtree for over 18 years and absolutely LOVE it. I am saddened that I have to move away from Sage 50 because it does not integrate with Service Titan, Field Edge or any other cutting edge dispatch programs in my industry.

Pros

Easy to use, clean appearance and very thorough information. Reports are easily exported to excel and can be customized.

Cons

The only con for me is that Sage 50 doesn't integrate with any industry related software programs I need.

### "Would Not Recommend-Not Reliable"

January 22, 2024

2.0

Pros

I loved the thought of accessing my Sage 50 platform via the cloud services.

Cons

This was not a reliable method of accessing Sage 50. It fails to load repeatedly and little help from customer service to resolve the issue.

### "Have had the software since the DacEasy Days"

January 11, 2017

1.0

The software if fine until it doesn't function and when that happens to forget about getting a hold of the support that you pay big bucks for because the are non-existent. I have been trying for 3 days to get a call back from Support on a large issue with the software. The recording states they are too busy to take my call at this time and for me to try again at some other time. I am ready to research another software company. 18 yrs and they have only gotten worse instead of better.

Pros

A functional software for small uncomplicated businesses.

Cons

Forget support they will not help you, but believe me, they will hunt you down to get their thousands in support fees. I am beyond angry at this point and have already started researching other software companies. SO FORGET SUPPORT.

### "Sage 50 Great for Small to Large Businesses"

October 10, 2018

5.0

Pros

Ease of use and ability to create your own custom reports.

Cons

It glitches quite frequently and customer service isn't very good. You have to wait forever for a call back.

### "Functionality"

June 9, 2017

3.0

Pros

The ability to view the entries posted and balances are updated real time. Good for small to medium business set ups

Cons

Batch process takes a long time to process. ( interface from bank to SAGE). We update data from bank ( revenues) to SAGE and that function takes a long while to process. Do not know how to create reports - My Reports in SAGE. The help sheets are not as clear as I would like it to be. Unable to see the invoice document ( digital) in SAGE payables and unable to see any scanned supporting document to the GL entries. E.g. if the payable files ( hard copies) are not filed, we need to hunt for the document to understand the entries posted.

### "Sage cloud, pour petit budget, mais pas si simple"

November 17, 2023

3.0

Pros

Logiciel a prix vraiment abordable et quand même relativement complet pour la plupart des petites entreprises

Cons

Pas très intuitif, surtout pour une personne qui débute, ni pour quelqu'un qui est habitué avec un autre logiciel comptable.

Switched from

[Sage Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/168740/Sage-One-UK/)

En fait je n'ai pas changé, j'ai ajouté ce logiciel pour certains clients qui trouvais la version de Sage 50 bureau dispendieuse et voulaient une version cloud.

### "Powerful Tool with a User Interface that Needs Improvement "

December 8, 2016

3.0

Sage 50 has a lot of great qualities that help with accounting, but the built in capability to track inventory could be further refined. The backbone of peachtree has helped us a lot with our financials with it's ability to link payments to purchases. However, the inventory management capabilities are not intuitive.

Pros

Ease of linking payments to purchases Making Purchases Tracking Sales Orders

Cons

The default setting for transaction dates and "assigned to" categories are not ideal Takes a lot of input to track the perpetual inventory

November 27, 2018

4.0

Pros

We had used Peachtree for years so this was an easy transition. They seem to be adding more features and changing the interface as time goes on. Still a great platform for in house accounting for small business.

Cons

Support isn't as quick as it could be but typically very knowledgeable folks when the issue is responded to.

### "Over complicated and expensive"

February 8, 2022

2.0

Pros

Sage is one of the largest names in accounting software so it's reliable and trustworthy.

Cons

Ease-of-use is seriously lacking, it's not intuitive and doesn't play well with integrations. It's expensive for something that is very outdated.

### "Easy to use Accounting Software"

February 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the easy to use features of this program. While it is a more in-depth accounting program, I feel the developers took their time when designing this program. They make it simple enough for people to catch on quickly but complicated enough to get the job done. I also like being able to see my accounts in real time.

Cons

I wish they had an amortization scheduler built in. I also feel that it seems a little easier to hack than other software programs out there.

### "As a musician, producer, and recording studio owner, it fit my needs."

June 11, 2016

5.0

Pros

Easy to set up, easy to use, reports are easy to generate, all query searches are easy to perform, contact information is very detailed, everything can be edited.

Cons

The price. Peachtree needs a freshman version (start-up version), a sophomore version (intermediate version), a junior version (advanced version), a senior version (complete version).
