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. ----- ### "Bedford, Simply Accounting then Sage Accounting" — 4.0/5 > **Vincent** | *24 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find Sage accounting to be one of the most user friendly for all types of users. I consider it 95% complete. Which in my opinion excellent. No software solution in the market is genuine 100% complete. There will always be something missing. > > **Cons**: For Offline users it has become one of the worst. I do not recommend it 100% for offline users. It has become extremely expensive. > > I have bee using this evolving accounting software since 1981. It has evolved into Simply Accounting and then Sage Accounting. in the 80's and 90's we used to pay between $200.00 to $500.00 yearly and had more for our money then today, you even owned your license. Nowadays it has been converted to subscription type, charge our clients thousands of dollars. and if you cancel your subscription, you can no longer use the software, not even adjust all entries. These days our clients pay thousands of dollars without even owning their licenses. There must be still some other software that allow you to have control over your license. This is insight contemplating to seek other solutions. Shame that in 2026, technologically we may be advanced, however ethically I have my concerns. I still value integrity and recommend to my clients not to fall in the trap of technology, but instead consider their needs. ----- ### "Inexpensive... and it shows" — 2.0/5 > **Celia** | *24 June 2026* | Civic & Social Organization | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's inexpensive and it's cloud-based. I can access it from any server or device, unlike Sage 50 which I could only access from my office. > > **Cons**: I don't like the consolidated income statement (I wish it could be broken down by department). I don't like the way it prints cheques - I have to manually adjust every PDF before I print it and type in the comment line. It's also super buggy and confusing to use. > > I am really disappointed with this software. I don't like using it at all. It was a huge downgrade from Sage 50 and I regret transitioning to Sage Accounting, but we were forced to retire Sage 50 by our IT department. ----- ### "Avoid Sage Business Cloud Accounting if You Value Your Time (and sanity\!)" — 1.0/5 > **Bonnie** | *23 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sage Accounting handled basic bookkeeping functions reasonably well, and the cloud-based access was convenient. The product may be adequate for organizations with very simple accounting needs and no payroll integration requirements. Unfortunately, the positives were outweighed by significant limitations, technical issues, and the lack of effective customer support when problems arose. > > **Cons**: Sage Accounting feels outdated compared with its competitors. The poor integration between the payroll and accounting modules created unnecessary duplication, confusion, and extra work. We also encountered repeated technical glitches that disrupted basic workflows and required far too much time to investigate and resolve. For a paid business accounting product, the reliability and functionality simply were not where they needed to be. > > Our experience with Sage Accounting was extremely frustrating. Customer support was among the most frustrating aspects of our experience. It was very difficult to access, and when we did reach someone, it was nearly impossible to find a person who would take ownership of an issue and stay with it through resolution. Several problems took months to resolve, costing us significant time and creating unnecessary stress. We ultimately abandoned the product and moved to QuickBooks, which was a far better fit for our needs. ----- Page: 1 / 27\ 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
