"cloud accounting software"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sage Business Cloud Accounting?

Sage has in the cloud software for all accounting needs. Sage has reports, dashboards, multi entity capabilities and is customizable. If you are frustrated by QuickBooks, Sage Intacct is your next best bet. It has more customizable features than quickbooks, and has a great import feature that allows data to be imported from excel into the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage Business Cloud Accounting?

The Sage Intacct community/user forums are not as robust as I would like. QuickBooks has excellent user forums and you can easily google quickbooks questions and get answers. With Sage you may need to pay for customer support for certain things since you may not be able to find the answer online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
