    Sage Accounting is better suited for smaller organisations with fewer transactions. The invoicing system of this piece of software is a superior tool, however. Sage HR is more commonly used for employees to access payslips and record things such as annual leave or overtime. Sage…

    Among the competitors, Sage 50 was the easiest to start working right off the bat and logical to build our payment and reconciliation process. Some competitors were difficult to set up in multi-computer mode, and it was challenging to obtain support that acknowledged …

    Sage has more bells and whistles than other accounting software. Its robust set up allows clients to customize the settings to each organizations structure and needs. You don't find that in other accounting products. Sage can fit for any industry structure or size based on your …

    Kronos was more complex, I felt it wasn't user friendly and always needed help in navigating the portal.

    I did not select Sage50, however, I do prefer it over Zuora. Sage 50 is in line with the easy manipulation of Quickbooks. Sage Intacct is best used for larger corporations whereas Sage 50 and Quickbooks are better tuned for smaller or mid-sized businesses.

    I have used MAS 90 in the past. It was not as easy to use as Sage 50cloud Accounting (formerly 50 Accounting). MAS 90 did not perform as well by any means. MAS 90 seemed to have more screens and "clicks" to get the job done.

    We selected Sage back in 2011 and the migration away from Sage is so difficult that we had to stay. I wish I could go back in time and switch to another vendor. Now we feel stuck and the fees are huge! They want a subscription for everything even though they add no reoccurring …

    Offers a greater range of features, available on different platforms, more integration and cheaper than Sage but less popular and not a lot of accountants prefer it.

    Chose Sage 50
    Sage 50 has a more professional operation to it, and transactions have to be reversed rather than just erased in QuickBooks. This leads to more confidence in the system when you are using it. I believe that you can do something like this in QuickBooks, but I have had trouble …

    We didn't really consider any other software besides maybe doing everything in Excel. The thing with Excel though is that we would've had to configure all of the accounting rules so it would have taken a lot of time. Also, being a manual process, errors would have been a lot …

    While QuickBooks is a great program, we found Sage to be a better fit for our company. QuickBooks does, however, offer more integration with other software applications and some even require QuickBooks to run.

    I have used mainframe type programs with more bells and whistles than Sage 50. For what we do, that expensive software is a waste of money. Sage 50 is a solid program. I have used QuickBooks and they have online software that is an advantage. But it's not as good in ways an …

    Our firm also uses QuickBooks. While I enjoy the user friendly aspects of this program, it can be changed too easily which increases client time.

    QuickBooks is the biggest competitor with our firm. I've mentioned before that Quickbooks is very simple and good for companies with a less competent accounting staff. Sage will require a little bit more training. But it is also easier than products like Dynamics GP which could …

    Sage One and QuickBooks Online can only support a micro-business. Microsoft Dynamics is too hard to use. Sage 50 is just right. Sage 100 is the big brother for the larger business needing more depth in the modules.
    Chose Sage 50
    As we did the conversion almost 10 years ago it is hard to answer this question. At the time it was the ease of being able to produce both cash and accrual financial statements and reporting that led us to pick Sage.
