"Game Changing Online Accounting Software"
5/5
What do you like best about Sage Business Cloud Accounting?

Built on the Salesforce platform so it can handle any number of users. Sage has initially targeted the small business segment with Live, however it is just as good for mid-market or enterprise. Consider the following features:

Capable of handling 1-1000+ users.

SAAS (hosted and browser-based) so no software to install. No server needed.

Multi-Company consolidation

Inter-Company transactions

Dimensional accounting

Multi-Currency

Multi-Language

Approvals and Workflow

Easy setup but can be configured as complex as you want, it's a very open database if you choose to use it that way

Open API, integrates with many other web-based apps

Well integrated with SalesForce

Tablet and iPhone/Android apps

These types of features are typically only available in enterprise level software like Intacct, Acumatica, Financial Force, NetSuite, Oracle or SAP. You won't find this in Quickbooks, Freshbooks, Xero, Sage 50 or any other entry-level system. What's unique about Sage Live is that they've priced it to be affordable for most companies - starts at $120/month for 2 users and 1 company. 2 users and 100 companies is only $275/month. That is ridiculously less expensive than the other enterprise level systems out there.

You can certainly use Sage Live as a small business, but the nice thing is that as you grow you can stay on the same system and not feel the need to change. If you are a mid-sized or large company, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Live before you make a decision on spending lots more money for perhaps the same thing.

What do you dislike about Sage Business Cloud Accounting?

It has only been around for 3 years, so it's not as fully developed as some more mature offerings out there. They are adding new stuff all the time but you might find some features missing that you are used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sage Business Cloud Accounting?

Provides real time accounting from anywhere I am at; at the office, out of the office, while traveling, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage Business Cloud Accounting?

When using Sage live on my smart phone, sometimes the area I am does't allow me to receive the most current information. It's not Sage's fault, but it does make it hard sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
