I had an issue with a function not working with my Sage 50 software. In reaching out to their call center in hopes of a quick fix before my exam next week, was greeted with, "you're a student and therefore we are not allowed to help you. You have to go through your institution for assistance."
From this interaction alone, I would NEVER refer anyone to work with Sage for the very reason of their customer service.
Apparently being a student demotes you from the status of deserving quality assistance. Good to know that my efforts to work with their services, does not matter to them! Great business practice Sage; I am thoroughly disappointed!
