Opiniones de Sage 50cloud Accounting

Quick books pro

Comentarios: Es fácil equilibrar su cuenta corriente y realizar un seguimiento de los gastos de la libreta de cheques.

Puntos a favor:

Lo más útil de QuickBooks Online es la opción Cuentas por pagar. Creo que las organizaciones hacen un seguimiento de las cosas que son más valiosas para mí. Tengo más de 100 empleados y, como puede imaginar, mi vida está bastante ocupada.

Puntos en contra:

Lo más inútil de QuickBooks en línea es que nadie está ahí para ti, pero la línea de soporte es absolutamente increíble, como si alguien estuviera ahí para ti, así que es increíble cómo trabajan contigo como si estuvieran ahí para ti. Realice un seguimiento de todo en su sistema para que no tenga que adivinar dónde están y dónde está usted mientras hace las cosas. Su sistema de apoyo también es el número uno.

Software intuitivo

Comentarios: Excelente

Puntos a favor:

Lo intuitivo que es y fácil soporte vía chat

Puntos en contra:

Algunas tareas de conciliación bancaria y asientos manuales

Un clásico

Puntos a favor:

Sage es un clásico dentro de las empresas de software, tienen mucha experiencia y cubren un abanico de necesidades muy amplio

Puntos en contra:

El precio y los tiempos de implantación, al parecer no lo ponen fácil para que terceras partes integren con Sage

My prefered accounting software

Puntos a favor:

The best thing about Sage 50 is that it is very difficult for anone to make a mess of things. The controls are very tight, ensuring that an ignorant employee cant mess things up.

Puntos en contra:

It is very rigid and stodgy Most reports cannot be shown across fiscal years. Little ability to customize reports.

Sage 50 accounts

Comentarios: Its so easy to use and being able to see all of the transactions makes it so easy to investigate any anomalies unlike any of the other competitors packages

Puntos a favor:

Its so easy to use and navigate and does everything that i could ask for

Puntos en contra:

Nothing like is said above it does everything i want so what's not to like about sage

Please stay away for your own sanity.

Comentarios: Horrific experience. Data integrity is not something they concern themselves with in their software. Our files got corrupted. They couldn't tell us how or why and told us some third party data repair people to contact. I don't believe they have anyone left who actually understands the code of their software. Their data repair team is one person and he could not solve it. I was in utter disbelief that after not being able to fix our data that they told us to try some third parties. So you risk losing your company data using this software. We can't generate legitimate income statements or balance sheets anymore and are having to switch to a new provider.

Puntos a favor:

The software is pretty easy and intuitive and would be good if it worked, but it fundamentally does not work. Not like it doesn't work for us, it just doesn't work and they can't tell us why. By not work, I mean scenarios like you enter a purchase invoice for inventory and the inventory number doesn't go up by the amount you bought and then the program adjusts starting inventory values (from 15 years ago) on the fly.

Puntos en contra:

It is not remote capable like it says. Our files get corrupted constantly and they blame it on the cloud computing. We have corruptions that no one at sage knows how to fix and they don't continue to fix it. They have no problem leaving a small business dangling and had the audacity to refer us to a third party. They don't have any recommendations or help on how to avoid corruptions. They don't have any utilities to help fix the corruptions we have. Their solution is to usually restore from a backup, but they don't have anyway to download and re-upload transactions from the period between the backup and current so you have to print off all your old transactions and then re-enter them. In the cases where they do manage to fix a corrupted file, they charge you for that "privilege". The software also doesn't necessarily keep debits and credits in balance. They're posted solution for this are some custom admin transactions to force balance, rather than find the source of their own non-double entry errors. If for example the accounts receivable ledger doesn't match the sum of the customer sub-ledgers, they don't have a way to see what their program got wrong, they tell you to do an adjusting force balance entry. Same goes for inventory and accounts payable. It may be related to our unsolvable data corruption issues, but again, they don't have a solution for the underlying missed transaction - they say to ignore it and force the books to balance.

Sage slowly catching up with Xero, QuickBooks and others

Comentarios: It is definitely getting better and better but still lagging behind Xero or QuickBooks

Puntos a favor:

It now does most, if not all of the things expected from online software for bookkeeping and accounts.

Puntos en contra:

The feel is still old fashioned, not very intuitive, though for people coming from desktop Sage this should not be a problem. Still not many apps link with Sage, compared to e.g. Xero

Review on Sage 50cloud Accounting

Puntos a favor:

I enjoy using sage 50cloud because of its very easy to use interface. For accounting, you can perform all basic tasks to enable you prepare a financial report.Also it is built in such a way that there is some form of control to the activities users can perform simultaneously on the application.I recommend it 100%.

Puntos en contra:

The interface does not have a friendly look so if you are not familiar with it, you may believe it won't be easy to use.

On premise title in a world of cloud-based products

Comentarios: It used to be the only game in town, but nowadays, it needs a true cloud-based version which it doesn't have.As an on-premise software, it worked ok before we moved to work from home as everyone was in the office, so the connection to the server was made over the local LAN. Once WFH started, we had to move and use Sage Drive, an internet-based sharing tool. The data get out of sync fairly quickly. We now moved to a hosted solution but still used Sage50 as it's the only tool that can get the job done for us with our unique setup.

Puntos a favor:

That it's the only financial package that can transfer cost codes to our CRM system.

Puntos en contra:

The clunky thin server is called SagDrive.SageDrive is a service that allows sharing between a server and terminals via one central point (hosted by Sage). It is slow and gets quickly out of sync with the sage server.

Can't get up and running

Comentarios: My account isn't having any troubles but as the business owner, it troubles me that the program won't let me set it up in my computer.

Puntos a favor:

It's nice when it works but it doesn't work on all my computers.

Puntos en contra:

Getting it set up for a shared company is next to impossible. I've been working with support for three months now trying to get this to work. It still doesn't work.

Good for relatively simple manufacturing businesses

Comentarios: Good for the first $5M - $10M of a manufacturing business's life, but not excellent to go beyond that. Do yourself a favor and scale your software up as your business grows.

Puntos a favor:

Anybody who has used any other accounting software packages will instantly understand Sage 50. It does what it's supposed to -- you can track money in, money out, and all via accrual accouting.

Puntos en contra:

At a certain point, you outgrow it. If you're a relatively simple manufacturing business with only a couple product lines and a couple manufacturing lines, this works for you. Once you start scaling with multiple locations, cost centers, etc., you'll outgrow it.

How brilliant Sage Software is.

Comentarios: Accuracy, and speed beneficial to the business.

Puntos a favor:

I love bank feeds and the reconciliation is done for you and you just have to finalise. No usual ticking one by one which is time consuming. I can also use projects and departments for my clients dealing with various projects. Having features that cut down on time is such a great integration with our business as you can work on many clients which enables you grow the business.

Puntos en contra:

The only lease aspect is not being able to amend a few items especially if you have used bank feeds, you have to un reconcile then unclear items delete and amend. This is then time consuming and perhaps sage can improve on that.

Sage50 - A great choice

Comentarios: A very positive experience overall. It allows us to easily assist our clients who use the same platform and sharing of data works perfectly. It looks like developments are coming so I think the product will become even stronger.

Puntos a favor:

Sage is very user friendly and offers all of the options required to operate a small business. The insights provided are excellent and flexibility available is more than adequate.

Puntos en contra:

It is lacking a little in terms of the add-ons when comparing to other products. Other than that an excellent

I have been using the sage billing system for several years. I recommend

Comentarios: It is software that has been with me daily for several years, I'm already in tune with the program, the experience is fantastic

Puntos a favor:

Very intuitive, easy to perform everyday tasks , Has very important sales charts, In the main frame we have all the necessary information, we don't need to go around opening several menus.

Puntos en contra:

In my case, I cannot reconcile with my accountant , It is not easy to layout invoices is not a very easy process

Easy to Use

Comentarios: Generally positive. Very easy to use. I've been using it for about 8 months and have found it easy to navigate.

Puntos a favor:

I like that you can delete journal entries if you posted it in error or need to make an adjustment. Other software would require you to do a separate journal entry to reverse the original entry. This software allows you to delete it as if it never happened. I like that because it helps keeps the GL looking clean.

Puntos en contra:

I wish there was a faster way to drill into invoices/payments that are tied together.

An Excellent product for SMB

Puntos a favor:

Sage 50 is extremely easy to use and capable of adapting to most small to medium size business needs. Because Sage 50 has evolved there are also many partners available to help create custom reports, or extend the core functionality of Sage 50.

Puntos en contra:

Unfortunately, Sage 50 doesn't allow a lot of customization to workflows, data collection, etc. It also does not collect some key data that is imperative to doing business in today's age, such as Phone Numbers and Email Addresses when creating Quotes, Orders, and Purchases. This is critical data when working with customers. Sage 50 also limits the number of contacts associated with Customers and Vendors to 20? This isn't enough, and, why limit it?Lastly, Sage 50 offers a low Database Size before it becomes sluggish and somewhat unusable, forcing data purging.

My Sage review

Comentarios: fair enough for the job

Puntos a favor:

Is for small business and the accounting structure is perfect.

Puntos en contra:

Not all the adding modules are on cloud, some modules are only on Premise.

Tried and tested product with 1 foot in the cloud

Comentarios: Used for 15+ years with minimal issues. Support were always great when needed. We 'outgrew' it not in terms of number of users or quantity of data but the ability to join up more business processes and to work in a more modern cloud-based way

Puntos a favor:

Accountants are very familiar with this - almost an industry standard. Core accountancy functions are strong

Puntos en contra:

Some aspects are hard for non-accountants to understand the terminology. Cloud implementation is only partial, Its a dektop product with uploads and synchronisation to other computers via cloud. We suffered several disconnects and issues that needed the remote stations to be re synced losing work. Some of the more peripheral aspects (Sales orders, purchase orders, stock management) had some limitations and there were several places where it was easy to accidentally mark every quote in the system as won if you did not have anything selected. No link to cloud payroll from sage - needed the much more expensive desktop software or manually enter payroll data into Line 50 every month

Save yourself some frustration and don't waist your money

Comentarios: We have uses Peachtree/Sage 50 for 22+ years. The cost of use has grown exponentially and the service is useless. Its imposable to find a telephone number for support. They route all support to their automated chat system that has no comprehension of actual problems. So, after 25/30 minutes of arguing with a computer trying to get a "real person", you may or may not get connected. Then you have to reverify all the same info you just gave to "Pegg" the computer. Once you finally reach a real person for "support", they will send you a link to a help article that you have already googled and tried. That's all the support you get! Good luck fixing it yourself.

Puntos a favor:

Hard to say. Its too expensive. Support is useless. Has lots of technical glitches. Backup is unreliable.

Puntos en contra:

tech support! Free tech support is included with the subscription. But if you can't talk with a real person, what's the point? When you get a real person, they only send you a "help article" that you can google.

Used to be the standard for small business in Canada, but no longer.

Comentarios: I have recently discovered Xero and moved my accounting practice to this software. It is so simple with the convenience of being cloud-based. I now recommend Xero to my clients and given its simplicity (yet still very powerful) I can foresee clients taking charge of their own bookkeeping and getting rid of their existing bookkeepers.

Puntos a favor:

Sage 50 was the accounting program I used to recommend to all my small business clients. Stable program that has most of the simple functions needed for most small businesses. Most used small business accounting software among my clients and almost all bookkeepers in our area use and have experience working solely with Sage 50.

Puntos en contra:

It's not the most user-friendly program and has a reputation of being difficult for non-bookkeepers and bookkeepers alike to use properly. Sage has been slow to make it more user-friendly and were behind in moving to cloud options. Personal experience is Sage support is very slow to respond to queries.

All out blackmail...

Comentarios: I have been a customer for over 30 years of Simply Accounting, which changed to Sage 50 over the years. Last year I purchased the new update, as they deactivated the software I was using. This year, they want a whopping amount for one year. As a small business owner, this is an unexpected expense that is not feasible. I was on holidays when my credit card expired. told them I could not update, as I did not have card. Did it when I returned, and found out then the cost... Told them I wanted to talk to manager. They disconnected me. I can't get into my accounting software, as I can not even fix a paycheck that was previously posted. Blackmail, will be looking at other software this winter, after 30 years. Bad company policy.

Puntos a favor:

The pro was that i was familiar with this software after working with it for 30 + years, but no longer. Customer support is not good.

Puntos en contra:

Disconnect, with no alternative then to pay 400 % + markup. Very unhappy customer of 30 + years, will no longer be a customer

Sage Peachtree is better...not easier

Comentarios: I have used both for several years. There is no question that Sage/Peachtree is not as "user-friendly" as Quickbooks...at least for the first month or two. But as you begin to actually understand accounting and your bookkeeping goes on and on you discover some very frightening things about Quickbooks. They put everything onto one, big, gigantic database-unlike almost every other accounting system in the world. That has several disadvantages but the biggest is why quickbooks has a nickname..."slowbooks". If you complain loudly enough they will recommend you "start over" after a year or two by opening a new company for the new year. Their constant ads are something you can live with. But what if you've had quickbooks for 4 or 5 years and you want to put it on another computer because your older computer blew up? Sorry. You'll have to get the latest version. At least with peachtree that is not an issue (if you saved all 3 of the registration numbers needed). My biggest complaint about quickbooks, though, is that it lets you do anything you want. That sounds good for somethings. It's not good for accounting. Peachtree makes it harder to go off track (although you can certainly mess up your peachtree books as well). Another thing I like about peachtree (for me) is that the fonts are bigger and they don't try to put everything on one page. Quickbooks has tiny font but you can certainly see lots of stuff on every page. I really dislike quickbooks reports which also have tiny fonts but that is personal preference.

Puntos a favor:

Usually lower in price. It doesn't try to hide the "debits and credits" as much as quickbooks does. In the long run that is a good thing. You will learn real accounting much quicker with peachtree than quickbooks (and you should learn it anyway).

Puntos en contra:

Peachtree is not as popular as quickbooks so there are not as many "3rd party add ons" available. If there is some particular 3rd party add on you need to use and only quickbooks has it then the decision is made for you.

Solid but somewhat limited software

Comentarios: not interested in continuing to use this software. Not interested in recommending it to others. I have now switched over to different software.

Puntos a favor:

Sage50 seems to be created more so for accountants or those with in-depth knowledge of accounting. I have a degree in accounting so I found it extremely easy to use. Most functions are easily located and you can choose a number of them from one screen. The software has very good reports which is an important factor to management. Sage is very similar to another popular accounting software program used by small and medium businesses, so it should be fairly easy for employers to locate employees who have used Sage.

Puntos en contra:

Tends to be glitchy. If you have an issue, it could be very time costly to get the issue resolved. Customer support and the time frame in which it is provided needs improvement. Another negative aspect is the cost as compared to its biggest competitor. Sage is more expensive.

Worst experience ever

Comentarios: I had one call and because the tech rep could not stay on the phone while I did as he asked, he did up a ticket...which he immediately closed. When I called back in they could not / would not reopen that ticket. I got pushed to sales and they would not give me back my one support call. That rep said I could speak with a supervisor, then pushed me back to tech. When I called in, someone took my name for the supervisor to call me back, and that never happened. This is the worst customer service I have seen in years. Meanwhile my newly purchased upgrade, is not doing what it is supposed to. Thanks for nothing Sage!

Puntos a favor:

Fine once you get used to it; it is not as user friendly as Quickbooks

Puntos en contra:

Functionality between computers has been a problem and tech did not help; read below

Sage 50cloud software review. Formally Peachtree

Comentarios: Love it!! My preferred software program. Used Peachtree Software since the 90’s and then
went to this program with no problems.

Puntos a favor:

This software is very user-friendly. And pretty much walks you through every step. You have numerous chances to go back and edit before you submit. If you ever make a mistake it can always be fixed. This software is very easy to teach temporary workers or new employees.

Puntos en contra:

I am not real good with general ledger but it is hard to set up but once you do things work very well.
