Sage Business Cloud Accounting has been developed over the past 12 months to being unrecognizable form its former self and it is definitely for the better. It has become much more customer friendly and we find clients actually enjoy using it. With the automation processes it means it reduces manual inputting and direct emailing of invoices means clients are getting paid quicker. Finally, a cloud based entry level product from Sage that takes on the market leaders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automatic bank feed and mapping for future imports. Time saver not necessary to allocate same transactions every month. Accessibility from anywhere. Up to date financial information at the tip of your finger to make informed business decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The sync of the bank feeds is sometimes slow. It can be frustrating but nothing else that I can think off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My organization migrated from an on-premises based accounting software to Sage Cloud accounting. The gains were immense and immediately measurable. Being a service-based IT consulting business where time is money and mobility is an absolute requirement, the cloud-based solution made collaboration with our internal team and audits by our external accountants a breeze as no travelling is required. No more updates and long support calls.
The system allows the user to jump to any financial period without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- The automatic bank feeds function has been a problem and is prone to crashing.
- Sage should also develop better training material, preferably on youtube.
- The system does not warn you when there are duplicate bank transactions captured - this could be improved on.
- The system does not inform you when there are new journals posted from the Sage Payroll integration - There should be alerts whenever changes have
been made by the user or by other users (and integrated apps).
- Support needs work - I have often spoken to support technicians/agents who have no knowledge of accounting or very little knowledge of how their own software works. As an expert user of the system, I expected better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Am impressed with its module on invoicing where clients can just chose to pay from inside the receipt. This software is just wonderful all the featured in one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes i have connectivity issues and that inconvenience my workflow and when you seek for customer support it is not all so effective they should improve on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I see the payment updates, Age of Receivables per account view, able to downloas in EXCEL file which is very helpful in balancing my data entries with the souce document. I regulary enter a transactions for medical billing and I can balance this right away after all records were entered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not know about the downside of Sage financials since I'm a new user and still learning on how to navigate. I wish I have the formal education on how to use Sage Accounting System. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
this system has been very helpful in enabling my departments to easily track all our financial operations. It works great for small and medium businesses and can grow as a company. By being in the browser this eliminates the need to set up a separate server to host all the accounting, CRM and finance we need, which is a great advantage. Customer service can be easily achieved and data is always more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Payroll reports can be confusing, but I'm still getting to know the program, not a problem that will spoil the usage experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best piece of sage cloud is the programmed match up we get with the various bank and charge card accounts which disposes of a great deal of manual compromise and all the key money related exercises are consequently followed. Time streams can likewise be followed effectively and billable hours are produced with only a couple of snaps.
Best thing about Sage Cloud by a wide margin was the invoicing module. Pending and sent solicitations can without much of a stretch be followed and clients have a choice to pay from inside the receipt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sage cloud is an incredible device gone for cloud bookkeeping and the entire motivation behind the application is to make it available from anyplace. I encountered network issues a couple of times and I think this is one territory which required improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy the layout of Sage and the fact that it is extremely user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't enough about Sage and everything it does to have any dislikes yet. I use a small portion of Sage for business purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This software is great because you have access to several different aspects of the business. There are so many different uses for it and so many reports that can be run from it. It also helps with efficiency of getting things done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think this software could be a little more user friendly. Sometimes it is difficult to maneuver around the software. Additionally, there are times where the software forces you to print out confirmations when you update something, and this can be wasteful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to manage my company financials on the go , easy access to the software, simple to use, no accounting skills necessary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lettering could be a bit bigger, seemed as though I was squinting to read each screen, maybe trying a dif font , not sure how to describe other than visual/ux design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
First of all the innovation is appreciated, the idea of making the entire ERP and CRM offer from the cloud in its entirety is a nod to the future.
Secondly, the support of the Sage family, is a company with a lot of time in the market, developing products, working with independent talent and creating the figures of allies in the development of products.
The guarantee of access from any device including Android and IOS, anywhere and at any time, is the biggest advantage of the Cloud ... Accessibility and Flexibility.
The scalability has always been one of the strengths of ERP Sage. The addition and elimination of users, creation of groups, profile levels is done in a very simple way.
The design and graphical interface is very interesting, the combination of colors, the modernization of the image of Sage, it is clear at all times for the user that it is a tool in the cloud, rather than a program that looks like an application at a visual level.
The offer of complements and additional packages, very well delimited is an aouesta of markenting. The buyer has the option of complementing the tool with what he really needs.
Although I have not verified it, the integration option of ERP and CRM different to the platform allows the migration of the company to this tool. I think it is a bet to position in the market and facilitate the change of non-traditional customer platform.
The reports is one of the strongest points of this family of ERP, its integration with excel and spreadsheets, as well as, the infinity of personalization options is very attractive.
In the same way, the integration with other tools and payment channels is one of the best ideas, the truth is that the people of Sage want to gain market share. It contemplates payment channels, and electronic commerce with novel aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Like everything in life there are always points of improvement, namely:
The cloud is a cutting edge tool, so its use is not fully accepted and is not commonly used in much of the economy.
Just as there are people who validate accessibility and flexibility, there is another group of people who prioritize data security and integrity. For some institutions, the idea of not directly storing their data in places they control is not very convenient.
It depends largely on the access and speed of internet connection, in many areas and countries this is an inconvenience.
The access from any device at the end is developed as information query, core activities are still very cumbersome to handle on mobile devices.
The segmentation of packages gives the sensation of acquiring a very basic plan, incurring new investments when complementing the tool with the suite of complements. Which transforms into hidden or uncalculated costs.
For companies of small and medium size, as well as companies from emerging countries, it is a costly tool, and even more so if the needs of the company at ERP level are clear.
Although it is a friendly and easy to use tool, it is not standardized, which entails an investment in staff training.
In some cases it requires investment in Hardware.
You can further develop the part of payment channels, integration with Paypal, AirTm, Credit Card, and electronic commerce. Including marketing channels of emerging countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For my business which has been around for over 50 years having a fresh approach for our
financial health was needed since we have been with Sage for over 3 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At this time there hasn't been enough experience with the program to know that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Keep the business very compliant, efficient and productive it also provides a smooth systematic approach to accounting and maintaining the general ledger. Another main reason that I like the system is it minimizes the human error. The automated information evaluates company integrity, project, and the customer profitability.

I like the system very much and it makes my day to day accounting activities easy so nothing to complain about so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is pretty intuitive to use, I think it is great for a mid size company. Used to work well as a smaller company but the faster growing and more information, the harder it is for Sage/Intacct. The reporting, company dimensions, etc are great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are many limitations to companies that have multiple locations.It is difficult to tell which entity has the fluctuations in balances, which makes it difficult to investigate. There are issues with SOX compliance (i.e Journal Entry approval workflow). We have not been able to use many of the modules that Sage/Intacct has in place, we've had to purchase other modules from outside which make reconciliation more difficult. Every issue we have with Intacct seems like we'd have to go the route of professional services or change products entirely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can keep all the information in different tables so it is easy to find out the any information easily. You can combine the data and pull according to your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don’t like the layout and design. It look like old school design. It should look fresh and colourful not dull and boring. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part of sage cloud is the automatic sync we get with the multiple bank and credit card accounts which eliminates a lot of manual reconciliation and all the key financial activities are automatically tracked. Time flows can also be tracked easily and billable hours are generated with just a few clicks.
Best thing about Sage Cloud by far was the invoicing module. Pending and sent invoices can easily be tracked and customers have an option to pay from within the invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sage cloud is a great tool aimed at cloud accounting and the whole purpose of the application is to make it accessible from anywhere. I did encounter connectivity issues a few times and I think this is one area which needed improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
