Reconciliations are easy to do and you can fix items really easily when mistakes are made. Also customer support is excellent as if you have any issues there is always someone you can talk to to get them fixed. They are also very knowledgeable about the product and never talk down to you if you've done something stupid. The reporting system is easy to use and very effective in producing departmental P\&Ls etc. Also the guides that Sage have are easy to find and very easy to follow. I would definitely recommend Sage to anyone as I find it saves time so is value for money. > > **Cons**: I do not like the invoicing system. You can either go through the supplier or go to invoices and generate a new one, which is confusing and if you delete an invoice it does not always delete on the customer. Also once you save an invoice it disappears which means you have to go back into the invoice to print and put the invoice to the ledger. If you wish to change an invoice to a supplier already set up, it will still show the original wording in the system. > > Overall, using Sage for invoicing, banking and producing reports, especially department reporting, is easy to set up and end users love the reports. ----- ### "Good quality product that's adaptable to business needs" — 5.0/5 > **Heather** | *19 June 2026* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to filter and search for items within the records is great. Being able to edit the reports to suit our needs is also very good. Emailing invoices and statements direct from the software is very easy. Customer support is always relatively quick to get through to and they seem to have a good knowledge and resolve any issue promptly. > > **Cons**: We have quite a large package and the cost is quite high for a relatively small business. Also, we use sage cloud payroll because we only have a few employees and it's good enough for our needs, but the cloud payroll isn't able to feed into Sage 50 Accounts. > > Our experience has been very good and it's become a vital part of our business's every day functioning. ----- ### "Software that grows with you and your business." — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *24 June 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find it very user friendly, great access to a multitude of reports that allows a wide overview of your business’s productivity and financial status. Invoicing is easygoing and easy to track. Accounting principles allows for easy transaction management. Always someone on the other end of the phone for customer support. Seems good value for money and allows for business size, so you’re not paying for more than you need. > > **Cons**: I struggle to find anything I don’t like about the system has served our company well for a number of years. > > Easy to get to grips with, regardless of accounting ability and grows with you as you and your business grows. ----- ### "Very mixed Bag" — 3.0/5 > **Jackie** | *29 June 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer Support is good. No long call waits and agents are knowledgeable and helpful. It is easy to use but ONLY because I am familiar with the programme. I like that I can upload spreadsheets with extra data. I like that it is desktop and therefore faster to use. > > **Cons**: A new user would find it clunky. Reporting is not very user friendly. I find custom reports difficult to use. The regular reports are not easy for decision makers to read so I find it is used by us as accounting technicians rather than as a proactive tool for analysis. I believe it is extremely expensive compared to competitors. > > I enjoy using it but I don't think we are getting the best use out of a platform that should be easy for decision makers to get proper information from. It is not user friendly enough for them to pick up easy to read reports. ----- ### "Sage 50 makes our accounting tasks quicker and easier" — 4.0/5 > **Rob** | *24 June 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We find Sage 50 make our daily invoicing and accounting tasks quicker and easier as well as covering all of our MTD needs too. > > **Cons**: There are cheaper options available, but we are very familiar with Sage 50 so have stuck with it as the time involved with learning to use new software and transferring historical data and custom reports etc. would cost us more than any savings that we might make. > > We find Sage 50 to be an efficient, complete accounting package that suits our needs perfectly. From invoicing to credit control and VAT submission, it covers everything. ----- Page: 1 / 26\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/174753/sage-50cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/174753/sage-50cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
