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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Powerhouse of intuitive workflows,accounting & Centralized dashboard in one place." — 5.0/5 > **Tymur** | *28 June 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I really love it for streamlining my daily accounting tasks with intuitive workflows.Reliable with centralized dashboard for quick overview of pending invoices,inventory status and financial reporting. > > **Cons**: It served us so well meeting all our accounting needs,but it's limited with extensive customization for our specific organization needs. > > Great for streamlining our accounting tasks with efficient and intuitive workflows.Effective with centralized dashboard to get an overviews of pending invoices,inventory reports and financial reports. ----- ### "Tried to switched and regretted it\! (based on price)" — 5.0/5 > **Samantha** | *29 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have tried the others and they are not as user friendly, when you consider that operative time is the most valuable resource to a company, Sage is the most useful tool to free up that resource. All the software does the same thing, but the way in which users are able to interact which the software to impact their business is the most important tool, whilst being able to ensure that their time is utilised. VAT, CIS and end of year reports without the stress and complications. Not even going to put myself through the needless worry of migrating elsewhere again. When I moved had to call VAT as a serious error had been reported by their software, almost got myself in trouble. > > **Cons**: The issues have been dealt with over the last few updates. It was the bank recs, had issues trying to upload the bank statements. I have recently tried the AI tool, and found that I was able to use it without even looking at the helpful hints, so smooth, will continue to use this. > > To me I am able to manage my accounts, have the confidence that my company accounts are where they should be. As with all, yes would like them to be cheaper, but then they would not be providing the updates and listening to the customers such as myself and making the improvements. ----- 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
