## Reviews

### "Desktop great, Online a work in progress" — 4.0/5

> **Melinda** | *April 27, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have found sage Desktop to be consistent product. I have been using for over 15 years and I find it is extremely reliable and rarely experiences bugs. As someone who is incredibly busy I value this immensely.
> 
> **Cons**: As a hybrid worker when I finish work on my office PC and don't let it sync completely before opening the file on my home laptop, I have experienced sync issues and data corruption. I see the potential, but I think there is still much work to be done on the cloud side of Sage.
> 
> Overall I prefer the desktop for its reliability, but I have high hopes the online version will only continue to improve as that is the direction I think the industry is headed.

### "Need to Modernize it More" — 3.0/5

> **Rita** | *July 7, 2026* | Building Materials | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The reporting feature is good.  Provides a lot of detail.  Reports are visually appealing.  Like the feature of account statements where I can click on the invoice and brings it up without searching for it.
> 
> **Cons**: The invoices and payments/receipts are separated.  I would like to see everything under each vendor's or customer's account.  I have to do a lot of digging and searching around to ensure we don't pay an invoice twice.  I don't like that Sage allows to pay one-off payments without documenting it as a bill.  If I look up an invoice or bill, it will not show.  I would then have to look under payments to see if a bill was paid.  This feature gets very frustrating and is time consuming.
> 
> It's okay, not the most user-friendly.  The price we're paying is not worth it.  Should be charged less.

### "Avoid Sage Business Cloud Accounting if You Value Your Time (and sanity\!)" — 1.0/5

> **Bonnie** | *June 23, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sage Accounting handled basic bookkeeping functions reasonably well, and the cloud-based access was convenient. The product may be adequate for organizations with very simple accounting needs and no payroll integration requirements. Unfortunately, the positives were outweighed by significant limitations, technical issues, and the lack of effective customer support when problems arose.
> 
> **Cons**: Sage Accounting feels outdated compared with its competitors. The poor integration between the payroll and accounting modules created unnecessary duplication, confusion, and extra work. We also encountered repeated technical glitches that disrupted basic workflows and required far too much time to investigate and resolve. For a paid business accounting product, the reliability and functionality simply were not where they needed to be.
> 
> Our experience with Sage Accounting was extremely frustrating. Customer support was among the most frustrating aspects of our experience. It was very difficult to access, and when we did reach someone, it was nearly impossible to find a person who would take ownership of an issue and stay with it through resolution. Several problems took months to resolve, costing us significant time and creating unnecessary stress. We ultimately abandoned the product and moved to QuickBooks, which was a far better fit for our needs.

### "Inexpensive... and it shows" — 2.0/5

> **Celia** | *June 24, 2026* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's inexpensive and it's cloud-based. I can access it from any server or device, unlike Sage 50 which I could only access from my office.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like the consolidated income statement (I wish it could be broken down by department). I don't like the way it prints cheques - I have to manually adjust every PDF before I print it and type in the comment line. It's also super buggy and confusing to use.
> 
> I am really disappointed with this software. I don't like using it at all. It was a huge downgrade from Sage 50 and I regret transitioning to Sage Accounting, but we were forced to retire Sage 50 by our IT department.

### "Sage Accounting" — 4.0/5

> **Kelly** | *July 13, 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it feels and is very straightforward. It’s not too flashy, just basic. It’s good for anyone new to bookkeeping or advanced accounting.
> 
> **Cons**: How much everything costs to add on (payroll-additional employees = more $) customer support not being available 24/7
> 
> I have found it overall very easy to use, I don’t come from an accounting/bookkeeping background and have been able to figure out some stuff on my own as well as using the forums and customer support. I do wish however customer support was available 24/7 and not a bot.
