Overall Satisfaction with Sage 50cloud Accounting (formerly Sage 50 Accounting)

We are a small manufacturer and utilize Sage 50 across the organization for all accounting functions. AP, AR. GL, Inventory, etc. Sage 50 when properly implemented allows us to track costs, keep track of receivables and payables, employee records, and job cost. We do not utilize the cloud function as our database is too large.
  • Accounts payable.
  • Accounts receivable.
  • Better job costing.
  • Multiple dates for sales orders and purchase orders.
  • Significant step up from Quicken to Spreadsheets.
  • Inadequate job cost for manufacturing.
Sage 50cloud Accounting is a pretty good option for a small business. It has a robust feature set, but the cloud functionality is limited to a very small size, and only being able to edit data over a two year period is a shortcoming. Sage 50 bridges the gap between QuickBooks and a larger more robust manufacturing package.
