Review by The Lunar Staff

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… this is a wonderful software package. The accounting and inventory portion of this software is premium by far.

But not much else has changed since the 2013 version. But it is still BOSS over the Sage 50 Complete Accounting 2014 software with more features, but you would think with Sage getting raked over the coals from the 2013 version about removing the Payroll Processing / Tax features and making them a completely seperate add-on, that they would have heard the cries of foul. Not so! They are definitely sticking to their guns on this one. Given a few years down the line, nobody will even remember that they were once a singular product under Peachtree. Also, in order to create and report on payroll checks in your Sage 50 accounting solution, you are required to get a Sage Business Care Gold or Platinum subscription.

Although you are getting a wonderful accounting and inventory software, they are continually throwing additional add-ons and sales pitches to buy even more of their products. It’s pretty annoying after a bit.

One of the catches with this software is that it is auto-renewing. So in order to activate this software, your going to have to give them your credit card number in order to get started. Personally, I feel this is an over-the-top lock-in, so to say. They should be more like your anti-virus subscription, letting you know that your subscription is about to expire, giving YOU the option of renewing instead of them just automatically renewing.

So if you put alot of work and investment into your accounting and inventory, using this software, they kind of have you and your business hostage. So you better know right off the bat if you are ready to make a true commitment to using Sage 50 Accounting software, because that is truly what it is… a commitment!nnAs I stated before in my 2013 version review, if you are a small business or very small business, this is probably an investment that you more than likely should avoid, unless you can really work it into your budget and can absolutely commit to using this software. However, if you do not need the the Payroll & Tax software, then this is indeed a wonderful and premium accounting and inventory software.
