Serialized tracking is the reason we stay
Our accountant asked for it by name. She works in it faster than we do and year end went from a three week ordeal to about four days. If your accountant knows Sage 50, that alone is a real argument.

The audit trail saved us during a review
Sales tax across three states is tracked properly and the return prep is straightforward. I still check the numbers because I always will, but it has not been wrong yet.

Capable, expensive, and stuck in 2010
The functionality is genuinely there. Finding it is the problem. Everything is two or three menus deeper than it should be and the layout has clearly grown by accretion rather than design. You do learn it, but the first six weeks are rough.

Multi user performance falls over
Nobody made the one year minimum commitment clear until we were in it. We knew within two months that the product was wrong for how we work, and we still paid for the year. That is on us for not reading closely, and it is also on how it was sold.

It does what the accountant asks for
Four companies consolidated on Premium without an export step. That alone justified the upgrade for us. I used to spend the first three days of every month in a spreadsheet stitching entities together and now I do not.

Serialized tracking is the reason we stay
The audit trail did its job when we went through a review last year. Every change, who made it, when, and what it was before. Our auditor got what she asked for in one afternoon instead of the week it used to take.

Serialized tracking is the reason we stay

The annual commitment is the trap
I called support about a multi state sales tax setup and spent forty minutes being read the knowledge base article I had already found. Escalation took nine days. The product is fine. The support around it is not what you are paying for.
