Safe Accounting for accounting done right!
Extremely happy with it. We changed software to Jobpac due to a business merge.
Pros
Excellent software, lots of options that you can do on it which is completely the opposite to MYOB per example. 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!

Good online solution especially for Sage desktop software users.
The overall experience with Sage Accounting has been good, ability to work on the data by a number of people at the same time and the increased security of data has been a great improvement over a desktop software
Pros
I like that this software is an online solution.
Cons
It is quite complicated to use, not as straightforward as their competition.
Response from Sage

Good for payroll and HR, not for product manufacturing
For our purposes, it was a one-trick pony, used for payroll only. It was not flexible enough for us to use it for ordering raw materials, manufacturing, and inventory control.
Pros
It was good for payroll processing and employee management.
Cons
It did not work well for tracking inventory.
Response from Sage
Thank you for your review, Marilyn! We're glad to hear that Sage Accounting has been effective for payroll processing and employee management. We understand your concerns about inventory tracking and are continuously working to improve our product's flexibility. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you sharing your experience.

Great Desktop Software
It was my accounting software of choice prior to COVID and cloud based software became the ideal software
Pros
It is an easy to use accounting software that can be easily customized to an individual's business needs

Sage Online Accounting
The software is good and reliable. Very few errors have happened to the software, since we have moved to the cloud. So Good.
Pros
You can log in from anywhere. Take on is easy. Invoicing is simple to use. Allocating receipts and payments straight from the important bank statements makes processing easy
Cons
The stock system does not intergrate well between the stock holdings and values and the balance sheet. Extra modules are required for this basic function and this does not always solve the problem. This results in clients needing to continuously reconcile stock to balance the Inventory Valuation to the Inventory Ledger.The project management systems need to be improved so individual and multiple projects can be quickly monitored in an income statement.

I love Sage Software for all my accounting needs.
I am very happy with the software. The reports I generate are next level.
Pros
I have been using the software for 9 years and it becomes second nature to me. It is precise and easy.

Straightforward accounting
You can usually tell when you have a decent piece of software, when you only have tos pend a few minutes to accomplish what you went in to do and then quit. Sage does exactly that for me and my business! The most tedious task that I have to do, is just made so much easier for me, compared to the days in the past when I had to hire an accountant and fill in spreadsheets. IT has more than paid for iteself with savings from having to keep an accountant on the books.
Pros
For someone that has never used accounting software before, I was up and running within 30 minutes and had my first invoice wnging its merry way to teh client to be paid. With very helpful customer service checking in on me in the initial period, I was able to get the rest of the package set up quite easily, including being able to do my VAT returns easily. Great software that does everything that a small business needs!
Cons
To be honest, y grumbles have been few and minor. The big things it does well, but sometimes I just confused by the numbers it displays but that is more often than not finger trouble in displaying sort orders of the date column.

From my point of view, Sage Accounting worth every penny. It was easy to deploy and use even with a little help from the support team, which by the way does a great job. Getting the weekly/monthly reports is easy.

Ideal for larger business who need unlimited seats
Sage Accounting is much more aimed at large business with handy features such as automation and unlimited users. For a small business like us, it worked out vastly more expensive than other options targeted more for small businesses
Pros
Good amount of features and a well know and trusted "household" name in accounting software
Cons
Expensive and not necessarily the most user friendly

The most detailed accounting software
It does a fantastic jobs when generating reports. Reports generated are too detailed and loved by the accountants. However, when it comes to user friendliness experience, there is a bit of struggle to understand how it works.
