GOOD EXPIRENCE
Reviewed on 12/08/2019
We use sage for accounting. The best thing is we can use sage cloud anywhere in the world. the software reminds us of the payments due for the customers. Then we can call our customers. It's easy to use. It saves time. If your computer will be crash then our all accounts are fully safe in the cloud-based sage. It's easy to use and access. When we need any help then the sage technician will fix the problem within few minutes on the call with remote access.
Pros
a few months ago we use the sage on the computer but if there any problem with the computer then our sage data not secure. Some time we lost lots of files as well. but when we subscribe Cloud service it's so much secure and easy. Our all data is fully secure on the sage cloud. The best thing is we can access anywhere in the world.
Cons
Nothing, when we need any help the sage technicians help me.

A very simple online accounting system
Reviewed on 06/11/2017
The ability to connect my bank accounts is great and a real time saver.
Pros
The fact that this is online and can be accessed from any device is a real pleasure. It means as a sole trader that I can enter receipts while I'm on the go or at home when I have a spare few minutes. I know sage was late to the party for online accounting systems but they have managed to make a simple system and one that starts cheaper than the competitors.
The second main feature for me was the ability to automatically connect to my bank accounts and match my transactions as this saves no end of time and is all included in the monthly price.
They also have a feature which allows you download your transaction in a CSV file as well, if you wanted to move them to another system.
Cons
It's not as customisable as the desktop version was but once you get over that hurdle and change your way of thinking and acting then you realise they had a reason for making it so simple.

Cannot export XL data to our Pension portal (Big booooo for the Sageone!)

I have been using Peachtree Complete Accounting for over 16 years.
Reviewed on 05/07/2018
Easy now to manipulate. I only wish I could input my bank information into Peachtree but it will not except it.
Pros
I have been using Peachtree Complete Accounting for over 16 years. It has taken many years to learn because I was never trained on the software.
Cons
My only issue with Peachtree Complete Accounting with Sage is the customer support. You have to wait hours to speak with someone if there is an issue especially if you call you have to just leave your name and number. During tax season it is impossible to reach someone. I once waited over 4-6 hours to get a response.

Using Sage since Peachtree
Reviewed on 11/11/2019
This software has helped us to have all the necessary reports for the government. We recommend it if you want a complete one.
Pros
It is a complete software to manage your business accounting. We have been using Sage since it was Peachtree. Now you can manage the accounting everywhere with the cloud feature. You can manage sales, inventory, employees, estimates, purchases/sellers, and so much more.
Cons
You can be confused sometimes because all the windows are similar.

Best cloud based accounting software
Reviewed on 29/11/2018
Easy platform for non book keepers to keep a finger on the pulse of their financials
Pros
That you can have full access to all financial
detail of your business wherever you are
Cons
Maybe allow a link through for document storage to keep down the user space needed.
For instance if I upload my slips and document to Sage I’d quickly use up my allocated space, if it could link through to my dropbox where I get far more space

It's simply among the best accounting management software I've ever used.
Reviewed on 25/04/2018
Pros
Its ability to send real time accounting documents through its automated processes saves the company or organisation a lot of time.
Its add on modules give users a robust diversity to customize the system to best fit the organisations needs.
Automation of invoice generation, Local Purchase orders, credit notes, petty cash just to mention a few to communicate with bank accounts, make transactions and additionally update the records is actually very impressive.
Great support with free training.
Cons
They charge the most essential aspect of it which is the ability to use multi-currency. You would expect this to be free upon purchase of the system as after all it is an accounting system

Complete product for a small business
Reviewed on 08/01/2019
Pros
It is very easy to use, it has almost zero bugs. You can easily backup, import data. I like this product and I use it everyday.
Cons
The ONLY thing that I hate about this product is the speed of the software. I do around 1000 invoices per year and the application is very slow to start, close, export backups, etc. Could be really better. I use other product that are really faster.

Pros
Well-known and respected company. VAT Return module is easy to use and works well. Inclusive updates are much better than old year end routines.
Cons
inability for imported payments and invoices to be matched up automatically,even when they share a reference number. Having to manually allocate every single payment is time consuming and frustrating.

I'd recommend, but maybe the desktop version. The cloud based version can be a little frustrating.
Pros
I love the ease of use of this software. Nothing complicated about maneuvering through to find reports I need.
Cons
Because it's cloud based, there are times when it crashes.

The Best Accounting and Costing Tool Ever.
Reviewed on 27/08/2012
I have been using Pastel Accounting and Pastel Payroll for the past 5 years. I have no training in Accounting practices and always had to rely on my Bookkeeper to advice and help me. Since I stumbled across Pastel My Business Online I am doing my own thing without help from anybody. The software is user friendly and written in a language that everybody understands.It allows me to make mistakes and the opportunity to rectify it without writing journal after journal. No debtors and creditors, you work with customers and suppliers - what is easier than that. When my Bookkeeper requested my documents for tax purposes I just gave them access to my system and within one hour they had all the info they need. BIG SAVING ON ACCOUNTANTS FEES. The biggest benefit for me as a small business owner is that I am in control of my cash flow everyday. NO SURPRISES AT THE END OF THE MONTH. My stock is no longer a headache because Pastel Control it for me. I don't know how I managed without Pastel My Business Online. I will use nothing else ever again.

Best accounting software for recent years
Reviewed on 19/07/2019
My overall experience is good with sage accounting because this is the first software I used when I was in University. I found it is very easy to use and I can use this software to better manage my clients books and financial statements.
Pros
Sage helps people with no or little accounting experience to finish their accounting jobs easily. It also helps accountant to have best connection with client because clients know what they should enter into the software and exchange information with their accountant effectively.
Cons
People still find its difficult to do entries or do everything correct. In the future the accounting software might connect with the cloud to upload invoices and computer will able to scan and put things to the right account.

I'm no accountant but I had to learn how to do my own books because I run a small tutoring business and I needed something that could meet my needs and a friend recommended this software . I tried just about every freeware that I came across but this one just worked from the get go. I also like the fact that I can work from anywhere and plus it's affordable.

There's nothing that I don't like about this software because it works, I love it.

The best billing tool
Reviewed on 16/11/2017
With this tool, I can do billing in a simple way
Pros
Its a very strong tool for billing. You can manage customers and suppliers and you have all kind of facilities to make invoices. By using the API, you can connect your own software with the aplication.
Cons
Although it is a very complete software there are quite things you can't do with it, like assign a payment to multiple suppliers.

Shame on you Sage accounting. Small business stick with quickbooks.
Pros
It has Accounting features. It fuctions, but unfortunately the company has terrible customer service and will steal your money.
Cons
This company charged the personal credit card of a small not for profit company that had declared bankruptcy months before, because they had it on file from the previous year. Months after insolvency was declared and the employee had been laid off, she found the charge on her card. Despite many phone calls explainibg the mistake that had been made nothing has been done. Terrible company that would put a laid off, soon to be mother in this position. Shame on them.

This is not the most intricate of services but it does work very well and is easy to use.
Reviewed on 26/03/2018
Pros
The price of the system is great for the quality of services.
Can get the app on Android and iOS.
The versions are cloud based so one can gain access from anywhere.
Cons
There is no Payroll so you will have to find payroll capabilities from somewhere else.
This software will not be great for use in larger companies due to lacking features.
