4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the perseverance !, 12 Jul 2006
By J. Pickering "Random Julie" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Version 12 isn't much of a change from v11, so feel welcome to read those reviews also.
Sage gets a mixed response from users. Some find it perfect and others find it difficult to use. I can understand both these opinions.
I purchased SAGE Instant Accounts for my small business, despite the negative reports, because it was recommended by my Accountant and an indepedant website. On first installation I found the software to be a bit of a beast, that was not easy to use or self-explanatory. I entered loads of things incorrectly (using common sense, and not actually accounting proceedurs, and as you you can't delete anything (as all good accounting/bookeeping systems should not let you do), my accounts got in a mess. So, I de-installed, and searched the computer for all the "hidden" files, deleting them all. Then I re-installed the software.
This time I read the User Guide carefully, and now I'm the happiest person in the world! Sage Instant Accounts is a blessing! If you take the time to read the User Guide properly, everything is explained and therefore, your accounts are in perfect working order.
Now it's a pleasure to do my bookeeping - and my Balance Sheet actually balances.
Yes, Sage is cumbersome and anal - but that's the nature of Accounting, I'm afraid. Simple accounting proceedure only makes money for Mr Accountant. With Sage, I can take the time, do it properly, and Mr Accountant has no excuses for charging more than the basic price.
I recommend it - but you MUST read the manual, if you want to get the best out of it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Makes heavy work - outdated and outmoded., 12 Jul 2007
By Mr. J. L. Haughton (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not at all user friendly. Support was helpful, whilst free but too expensive for a one man startup. Many areas of the software are not intuitive or compliant with the familiar ways that most applications now work. Even opening a saved report will have you tearing your hair out. Searching and sorting data by date / value etc - a basic feature that most packages offer - just doesn't work. If it wasn't for the fact that I need to submit data to my accountant in Sage format I'd have given up. It's not all bad, but for a program that's been around since before PC's even I think they've rested on their laurels and their link with professional accountants way too long.

2.0 out of 5 stars The most non user friendly software imaginable!, 19 Sep 2006
By S. FROST (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Probably the most annoyingly non user designed software imaginable. Impossible to make corrections to input problems even on the one user accounts! If only one could send it back! Sage website matches software in being non user friendly, not sure where the free award winning support comes in site seems to only mention support for those that have paid for it on some sort of contract basis. It would seem its in Sage's interest to make the software as annoyingly frustrating as possible in return for future support and training revenue.

Accounting software does not have to be "anal" there are other options that are not so anal. Sage probably makes the most anal software. Read more
