Overall Satisfaction with Sage Business Cloud Accounting (formerly Sage One Accounting)

Used for our day to day accounts or purchase's and sales. management accounts etc
  • Nothing
  • Everything is long winded, no fast key options
  • Basic options not available, you can not change payment terms for debtors or creditors only option is 30 days and statements do not break it down into pay periods
  • editing anything whether reconciled or not is painful
  • When data was carried over from Sage 50 accounts it was the basic info, all 490 customers accounts needed individually opening and statement preferences confirming, payment terms agreeing etc etc - no quick way to do all at once
  • Some nom codes have changed and some you are no longer able to use in Bank accounts purchases / sales etc. Some no-longer exist. this makes management accounts using the profit and lose data a nightmare
  • no favourites options for debtor / creditors lists and reports as there is only 1 option for all
  • negative impact includes customers not understanding their statements
  • negative impact includes nothing Worthing the same and over an hour wait time everytime you call
no comparison, two very different websites and used in two very different ways

Terrible overall
support was a 30 minute call and then everytime you need help you have over a hour wait time
This is probably suitable for anyone who is using a accounting package for the first time and only needs the basic requirements. It is definitely not suitable for anyone migrating over from Sage 50 Accounts as it doesn't do a fraction of what you could do before. The website is slow and looks like it was built for a child. It has caused no end of issues and wasted hours of time having to re-set everything up if it allows, as I said it it the most basic accounts package I have ever seen or used.
