During the trial, we found the platform to be feature-rich, with solid invoicing and financial reporting capabilities, and it appeared capable of meeting the needs of many businesses. However, we found that the overall user experience did not fully align with our requirements. While the platform offers good functionality, we also had a less-than-ideal experience with customer support. Responses were slower than expected, and it was sometimes difficult to get timely assistance during the evaluation process. Overall, Sage seems to be a comprehensive accounting solution with a broad range of features, but based on our trial and our experience with support, we decided to move forward with a different provider. > > **Cons**: The main downside for us was the customer support. During our evaluation, response times were slower than expected, and it was sometimes difficult to get clear, timely assistance. We also found that some workflows were less intuitive than we had hoped, which contributed to a steeper learning curve during the trial. Ultimately, while the platform is feature-rich, it didn't feel like the best fit for our needs. > > Our overall experience with Sage Accounting was positive, but it ultimately wasn't the right fit for our business. We evaluated the platform during our selection process and found it to be a comprehensive accounting solution with strong invoicing and reporting capabilities. However, we experienced slower-than-expected customer support and found some aspects of the interface less intuitive than we would have liked. After comparing it with other solutions, we decided to move forward with a different provider that better matched our requirements. ----- ### "Perfect solution from a great company - totally meets all our needs - thank you" — 5.0/5 > **Karen** | *29 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great product - easy to use, additional functionality being regulary released seemlessly. Customer Support team are very knowledgable, brilliant support including helping me when I need to create solutions not out of the box. Sage supports our charity - providing real value for money. The financial reporting works both for our management team and for our trustees. > > **Cons**: It would be good to have a forecasting option as well as a budget option to enable us to provide more information and monitor how our operations are changing. > > Brilliant solution - delivering everything we need, very user friendly, continuous enhancements from a great team - thank you ----- ### "Keep on track with sage" — 5.0/5 > **Denise** | *4 February 2026* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use good product very reliable .makes life easy to follow or locate what you are working on. > > **Cons**: To be honest there is not any disadvantages with this software.I have never experienced any major problems. > > In the time we have used this software we have had zero problems.It covers all our needs and that is why we continue to use ----- ### "Desktop vs online version" — 3.0/5 > **Astrid** | *26 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve use sage accounting for over 25 years , but is has changed over the years to an only online version. I find it a better program than quickbooks . Easy to enter and bill customers as well as entering suppliers and inventory. > > **Cons**: I don’t like the fact that there is no longer a purchase version. When business is slow and you still need it to run the business they have a right to cut your business off when you miss a payment. It’s also harder to make the monthly payment if you miss one . I’m now linked to a strictly cheaper online service but I do not like the way it’s set up the same way as the desktop version, I actual hate it but need something. But I do like the fact that I can use it any computer because all info links . > > I like the desktop version how ever due to the cost being so high for something you no longer own I had to go down to the online version. By doing that though the platform isn’t the same as the desktop version so I’m not a fan of it. Example for adding inventory I could just punch in the number of the product from a supplier and it pops up which is different in the online version. It was also harder to transfer files from one program to the other , I couldn’t transfer customers and their invoices and the same went for suppliers . So I really prefer the desktop vs the online version but had no choice but to switch due to cost. ----- ### "The new industry standard" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *23 June 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use. Has cut my book keeping time down by half\! Sage is also expandable to a bunch of other deptments like payroll, invoicing, reporting and inventory. > > **Cons**: The log in can be frustrating but once set up it is fine. The customer service is weak foe direct contact. Get use to Ai I guess. Over time maybe that gets better. > > At frist when my accountant wanted to move over from quick books to sage I was no. But after the change the improvement was easy to see. Sage is better in every way. ----- Page: 1 / 27\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190564/sage-business-cloud-accounting?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190564/sage-business-cloud-accounting) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
