 Not for the Novice June 25, 2008
This software is not for the novice
I had 3 full days training on this software before doing my accounts for a business of 1M turn over
I find it relatively easy to use because I have been shown correctly
You can make corrections - you just need to know the correct way to go about it.
I also think it is essential to have a thorough knowledge of whats going on in your business as this helps you see see if there are any obvious errors in the reports which you can produce.
I find I can prepare debitor/creditor statements in seconds
Send out letters to the same in seconds
& have saved over 250 per month in accountancy fees
worth using but get some training first (accountants didnt study for so long for nothing you know)
I actually like it. November 3, 2007

A lot of people dislike SAGE. I have to confess I'm not one of them. I also confess I am an accountant.
As long as you are computer literate and taught how to enter things correctly (which should not cost you that much - find a local bookkeeper and pay them for a couple of hours, it's worth it), this is a very simple program to use. If you don't know much about accounts and you try and work it out yourself, you may well find your accountant charging you more at the end of the year for sorting out some mistakes. It's not user friendly if you don't know what you're doing, I wholeheartedly agree with that.
Once you've got going, keep it simple, and your accountant should love you at the year end. And when you know how to use it, it's quite straight forward.

I would echo all the previous critisms. I have a copy of Money 95 (a 12 year old programme!) that is better laid out , easier to use(for instance changing the date only requires scrolling up and down the date rather than re-keying the entire date). Another example - Having to enter a supplier invoice on one screen then a payment on another - why all the duplication?. It would be easy to have one and enter all the information and then let some clever software work out where to put the figures. This is really lazy programming, with a lack of customer focus and a poor product. Inertia is the only reason I stick with it, if I was starting again I would look elsewhere.

My accountant suggested this as a better option than my ageing Quickbooks. I agreed and started to use it. Although ime no accountant I am an Engineer and Maths, Computers etc are my day to day life. Why then is this so complicated and why oh why wont it let you have services or products on an Invoice with a negative value. I need to deduct a training levy from my monthly sales, but it wont.
It will if you spend another 450 and by their Line 50 version. A con by any other name.
 Makes heavy work - outdated and outmoded. July 12, 2007

Not at all user friendly. Support was helpful, whilst free but too expensive for a one man startup. Many areas of the software are not intuitive or compliant with the familiar ways that most applications now work. Even opening a saved report will have you tearing your hair out. Searching and sorting data by date / value etc - a basic feature that most packages offer - just doesn't work. If it wasn't for the fact that I need to submit data to my accountant in Sage format I'd have given up. It's not all bad, but for a program that's been around since before PC's even I think they've rested on their laurels and their link with professional accountants way too long.
