Overall Satisfaction with Sage 50cloud Accounting

I am the bookkeeper and sole user of Sage 50cloud Accounting for a small agricultural buying group. Sage 50cloud Accounting is perfect for our business as we have a large number of clients, who wish to pay by Direct Debit and the integration with GoCardless is seamless.
We also import a large number of transactions from a csv file and Sage 50cloud Accounting makes this incredibly easy to do.

Pros

  • Direct Debit with GoCardless
  • Exporting reports to Excel
  • Bank Reconcilation

Cons

  • It is expensive. A cheaper option for small businesses would be good.
  • A better way of logging conversations/communications with customers, for example notes on Credit Control. The current notes section is lacking and I make all my notes outside of Sage 50cloud Accounting.
  • There are lots of reports that I don't use. It would be helpful if Sage 50cloud Accounting remembered the ones used most often, to save me trying to remember. For example, where do I find the report for unallocated sales receipts.
  • Collecting payments by Direct Debit was a great additional to Sage 50cloud Accounting and helped our business enormously
More robust, less opportunity for errors and accidental deletion of data.

Do you think Sage 50cloud Accounting delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Sage 50cloud Accounting's feature set?

Yes

Did Sage 50cloud Accounting live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Sage 50cloud Accounting go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Sage 50cloud Accounting again?

Yes

Too expensive for a very small business and probably too sophisticated. There is lots of good functionality that you pay for, but don't use.
For a small business like us, it is a robust accounting package and worth the expense.
