Some differences between Sage 100 and QuickBooks may seem subtle on paper.  In reality, subtle differences in transaction processing may make or break an organization.  For smaller companies, fewer transactions mean a workaround is not a big deal, but for larger companies the extra time per transaction can add up to a very expensive process.  Sage 100cloud provides many customization features to allow you to run your business the way you work best.

Volume

Performance

Sage 100cloud database is designed to handle large amounts of volume.  Growing companies often find an entry-level solution will bog down as their transaction volume increases.  Although there’s really no limit, documentation supports Sage handling file sizes around 2GB vs 1GB for QuickBooks Enterprise:

“In theory, there is no limit to the size of your file, but in reality, you are getting into a danger zone in QuickBooks Pro and Premier when you get to around 150MB. QuickBooks Enterprise is more robust and starts to max out around 1GB. Large files can be slow and tend to be corrupted much easier.”  http://www.osyb.com/blog/software/quickbooks-file-is-too-large-and-slow/
