Sage Business Cloud Accounting

Sage Business Cloud - Cannot Do Business Without It

Puntos a favor:

I love the fact that my clients and I can share the same system in different locations. It also has an app that I can use on the go for invoicing and quotes.

Puntos en contra:

Currently, I don't have any grips with the system.

Cloud Accounting Package that is easy to use with limitations

Comentarios: Overall for our purposes the software is easy to setup and use. I like the ability to access it anywhere and the ability to attach documents to transactions in the system. Modifying the chart of accounts was easy but the lack of customization on the layout of financial statements is frustrating.

Puntos a favor:

We have used the software version of sage products such as Sage Business Works and Sage 50 so the product and company are familiar to us. The ability to login to the software from anywhere and to no longer have to have client/server environment is great. The software was easy to signup for and was relatively easy to implement.

Puntos en contra:

There are 2 large cons to this software in comparison to it's direct competitors. Con #1: The package has no ability to custom group GL accounts. So for example, if you have a section on your income statement for sales and you want to group sales by category and have a sub-total for that sales section you cannot do that. There is really no ability to edit the income statement layout or the balance sheet layout to add in sections and sub totals so you are stuck with the canned version of the software. Con #2: In an environment where you have multiple small companies, you look after you cannot have one userid and password to access all the companies. You have to setup each company with it's own userid an password then invite another user via an email link to join.

Comentarios: My accountant can open a copy and quickly finish the year and tax preparation saving me time and money.

Puntos a favor:

I have used it for a very long time and it works very easily for me. It has evolved but never change so much as to make it difficult to keep using using. Sage has much more than I need but is still competitive with price and easy to use what I need.

Puntos en contra:

I never got the hang of bank reconciliation to work faster than manually but is me and I do not have a great deal of entries.

I really wanted this to work

Comentarios: Unfortunately my experience was poor. I loved their desktop program and really wanted to love their cloud solution just as much.

Puntos a favor:

I love cloud solutions and the reports from this would have been nice.

Puntos en contra:

I was hit with what seemed like every road block as I tried to switch from my Sage Desktop program into their cloud program. Customer Support was lacking and I ended up joining a Facebook support group of other accountant/bookkeepers making a similar switch. In the end I had to make the decision to let it go or loose my productivity.

Sage is a very easy and powerfule accounting tool

Comentarios: Overall the experience is good. They can definitely work on their email support.

Puntos a favor:

The ease of the setup and use of the software. It was written so that anyone can use it. Very simple, yet poewerful.

Puntos en contra:

Some of the features that were advertised when pitched to us aren't available. The customer and supplier age analysis reports should have totals.
