Everything ties back to the ledger

Moved from a cloud product back to Sage 50 because stock and order processing on the cloud side were toys by comparison. The difference in capability is not subtle.

The workhorse earns its keep

Support have been decent whenever we called, the product is stable, and MTD has been faultless. The renewal negotiation is now an annual fixture though.

Rock solid through every year end

The onboarding call they include was worth having even after years of experience, the adviser tidied settings we had lived with wrongly for ages.

Year end used to be a fortnight of stress. With the reports set up properly and a tidy audit trail it is now three days including the accountant queries.

Leaving after many years, with regret

After more than a decade we are migrating away. The decision came down to cost against a product that stopped moving forward, and a support experience that made a billing error take three months to resolve.
