## Reviews

### "Good Core Features, but Migration Challenges" — 3.0/5

> **Peter** | *30 November 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good general accountancy features, but getting a little outdated compared to sage 200 which is where we went to
> 
> **Cons**: Migration from Sage 500 system to a more current version was disruptive and didn’t go smoothly for us.
> 
> Customisation and system-changes can be very complex and time-consuming, especially if you’ve got bespoke modules or a lot of integrations.
