Good inventory & Project tracking

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Sage Business Cloud Accounting from other similar products?

Thorough setup tools, flexible user permissions, good inventory, department, cost code, and project tracking

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is available as a mobile app and you can access anywhere on any device. I also like that I have an update on what is happening with my customer accounts and finance at the click of a button.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Extremely Slow. Reports not very customizable and there is no time tracking, purchase orders, payroll, dedicated expense tracking, or add-ons. The bank transaction reconciliations are terrible if you have to split payments to multiple clients. Often times work will just disappear halfway through the split.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The bill pay features and the accompanying workflow are particularly easy to use and the new bank rec is highly efficient when hooked up directly to your bank account.

Pros

Client Friendly Policies
Altruistic
Acts with Integrity

Cons

Slower Product Innovation
Less Reliable
Charges for Enhancements
