### "Upon cloud number 9 using Sage 50cloud Pastel!"

July 9, 2022

5.0

Sage 50cloud Pastel gives top tier bookkeeping principles, expanded adaptability and portability than some other work area arrangement, and practical membership designs that offer the best benefit for your business.

Pros

The Financial Reports are very precise, it is not difficult to utilize and it was not difficult to coordinate with my specialty units. Every member of my contact team is impressed with this software.

Cons

It's difficult to figure out how to utilize the software. In the event that you didn't have somebody showing you how to utilize it, it would be relatively hard to configure.

### "Overall, a well-rounded Accounting Software, catering to the large majority of situations."

September 20, 2022

4.0

Overall Sage 50 Cloud is a great product to use for maintaining smaller or simpler sales functions within a business. (That is purely compared to how our company manages things. Sage 50 Cloud is more than capable of solving the needs of other companies, as it provides everything one would need for Sales, Invoicing and Inventory) Once more, not as feature packed as Sage Evolution but by far is the easiest to use and integrate into current systems and business flow.

Pros

While the software/service is more tailored towards the financial managers within the company, my interaction with Sage 50 cloud is from the Software Engineering and IT side of the business. To that extent, I'd say the integration of Sage 50 into our inhouse software solutions and online store would be the highlight. Compared to Sage Evolution, the integration of Sage 50 Cloud was far simpler and cleaner. While Sage 50 Cloud doesn't provide all the capabilities of Sage Evolution, it's incorporation into the business flow was near seamless and far easier. As mentioned above, the ability to easily integrate it within our inhouse solutions with ease was another treat. Although limiting in a sense, it still provided us what we needed from it to fill the gap in our software solutions, allowing easier maintaining of sales and stock with minimal extra legwork from software engineering side.

Cons

As with Sage Evolution, Documentation can be quite lacking in some areas. This includes the "how to" when it comes to some of the integration options. While it is relatively easy to figure out when scratching around a bit, detailed documentation explaining exacts would have been a great time saver.

While Sage Evolution was a great product, the sheer lack of Documentation when it comes to the Software Engineering side of things, making use of the SDK to integrate with our inhouse software solutions was the biggest hurdle. Documentation is lacking, and what little there is only caters to the simplest of examples with no indication as to what you are fully capable of doing.

### "Effective but outdated"

December 12, 2022

3.0

Pros

I like the user functionality and how it can be used for small companies as well as large POS companies due with larger backup files.

Cons

The fact that the backups aren't cloud based without a further purchase inhibits our abilities as accountants to accurately represent the financial position of the companies and easily transfer ledgers from the internal secretaries to us.

### "user friendly"

March 26, 2022

4.0

Pastel made it easier for me to integrate different units/ divisions in the company like manufacturing, direct purchases for resale. The financial reports are good and accurate, also I can easily track my inventory history which is quite impressive.

Pros

The Financial Reports are quite accurate, it is easy to use and it was easy to integrate with my business units.

Cons

The cash book may be at times not up to expected standard especially when you are using multi currencies at a company. For instance reversing a transaction made in foreign currency (e.g US$) directly from cash book may in fact double the transaction even if you put negatives. It needs a pro to accurately temper with exchange rates before making such reversals. Hence, there is need to simplify that process.

### "Data entry and missing integration are challenging."

January 5, 2022

5.0

Sage 50cloud Pastel provides best-in-class accounting standards, increased flexibility and mobility than any other desktop solution, and cost-effective subscription plans that provide the best value for your business.

Pros

\- Sage Accounting allows for an unlimited number of users (second-tier plan). - Comprehensive inventory tracking and reporting. - Has a double-entry accounting feature. - Offers a free trial.

Cons

\- Receipt capture requires a subscription; receipt capture is only available with the Sage Accounting plan. - On the Sage website, there is a lack of clarity and transparency regarding product details. - The user interface is outdated. - Neither plan includes time tracking.

Reason for choosing Sage 50cloud Pastel

because it cheap and simply because most accountants are comfortable with the software
