Upsetting Subscription Renewal Experience

Small business, approached by Sage operative Glen Harvey to renew our subscription, which had been running for several years with acceptable annual increases. Following the call we were unexpectedly changed to Cloud at an increase of 50% which had not been agreed to. Subsequent emails to the person requesting contact went unanswered, but contact with Manager Tabitha was forthcoming following soon after posting a review on this platform who was able to resolve the issue quickly by returning us to our former variable fee scale. Thank you Tabitha. Communications from the sales team need to be much clearer: the upset caused was unecessary. Suggest clients request any such renewal proposals in writing to consider. Upgraded from * to **. Will see how things run and update our rating if warranted.

Remote Dial in from home

I am ill and working from home but my remote connection dial in was not working. Gavin was absolutely amazing and patient while he talked me through everything and got me through it and my poor internet connection didn’t stop him from solving the problem.

Appreciation for assistance to use Sage 50 cloud.

As an infrequent user new to Sage 50 cloud and lacking technical aptitude, I was delighted with the help I received getting access to the program. The support person was knowledgeable and proceeded at a comfortable pace with introduction to the software. I look forward to using this upgrade.
