It integrates with all other softwares including expense claim management systems, payroll systems etc… Easy to use, easy to manage, easy to run reports from it. Staff have been mentioning also that it’s not a slow system. They seem to have a great server which makes a big difference on the daily basis usage. > > **Cons**: A big pricey but I guess you have to pay the right price when it comes to accounting software\! > > Extremely happy with it. We changed software to Jobpac due to a business merge. ----- ### "Good service with lack of support." — 4.0/5 > **Rex** | *23 August 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is efficient and very effective for accounting. > > **Cons**: Lack of software support, they are more for building profits through consulting rather than providing a service. > > An effective option, however there is lots that they could improve. ----- ### "wish for more support for newbies" — 4.0/5 > **Danielle** | *27 April 2026* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Since I'm a new user of that kind of product it is relatively easy and works well for invoicing. it was easy to set up because we dont use Sage at it full potential. > > **Cons**: Like mentionned for new users that does not know much about accouting the support for learning is not helping much. It is complicated to have assistance. I wish I could have more help for the basis. We are a metal work and line boring business, we sale our repair, fabrication and line boring services, we dont sell parts or anything that need inventories. > > Maybe it would be better with sage 50, i dont know. It is hard to start a business and deal with everything new at once. ----- ### "Not to impressed with 10+ years of Sage Accounting" — 2.0/5 > **Blanka** | *30 April 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: While I didn’t personally find the platform to offer strong value for money, I’ve worked with it extensively because many of my clients use it. The financial reporting is adequate and gets the job done; however, it feels limited when compared to other platforms like QuickBooks Online. The range of reporting options and the level of customization available there allow users to tailor reports far more effectively and extract more meaningful insights. > > **Cons**: Due to limited integrations, I eventually transitioned most of my clients from Sage Business Cloud Accounting to QuickBooks Online. A key example is payroll—since it is not natively built into the platform, it requires additional tools, leading to added costs, inefficiencies, and a more fragmented workflow. > > Overall, the customer support is disappointing and often unhelpful. The platform is not very intuitive and can be difficult to navigate, especially for clients who are not familiar with accounting software. Payroll not being built into the system adds unnecessary complexity and results in additional costs, making workflows less efficient. The reconciliation process could be significantly improved, and both invoicing and expense tracking lack the level of efficiency and automation that is now standard in many competing tools. While Sage does market AI capabilities, they are not meaningfully integrated into the core user experience of Sage Business Cloud Accounting. In practice, many everyday workflows still feel manual and lack the level of intelligent automation now expected in modern accounting software. ----- ### "Online Version is TERRIBLE. Desktop is GREAT" — 1.0/5 > **Jill** | *23 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Access anywhere, can see if client opened the invoice or quotes. That is the only pro to this software. > > **Cons**: Unreliable, if there is any internet issues or their server issues, you may have duplicated or dropped entries. Server is slow. Careful when entering just a slight touch of a key and you may post something unintentionally or incomplete. File capacity for attachment for invoicing is too small. You have to attach multiple files and the allotment for that is too small. I end up emailing customers their files. Waste of time and irritates my customers. There is also not a proper receipt to send to customers. Too many steps involved for everything, you cannot see more than one thing at a time. For example open 2 tabs for comparison. The desktop version is superior. > > Sage Online I would never recommend it is horrible, unreliable, frustrating, the worse online accounting software I have ever used. Sage 50 desktop I highly recommend. ----- Page: 1 / 26\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/140059/sage-one-uk?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/140059/sage-one-uk) ## 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
