Sage X3

Vorteile

the interface of sage x3 is very user friendly

Nachteile

usage badges should be available as per the role of the users

Vorteile

the integrity of the different modules is the flexibility of use as well as the availability of information in real time

Nachteile

the scheduling module is a bit complicated and does not meet our needs

Vorteile

Easy to navigate, logical flowthrough of processes and easy to customise and pull data from.

Nachteile

Not great for Warehouse Management and some default system logic needed tweaking

Vorteile

I was looking for something more customizable than Quickbooks, which it is.

Nachteile

Misleading advertising, said works with Mac doesn't really(yeah if I install it in parallel and buy a new subscription for all my other software in Microsoft parallel). Then refund process was excruciating, didnt refund money and had to follow up several times. Then you have to sign up with Pay for ACH which is worse. The rates are extremely expensive, they make you sign all this stuff before you get the actual rates, I never used service or finished setting up service and closed account with sage. Then a year later I get charges, they won't refund me even though I never used them or finished setting up. Extremely unhelpful.

Vorteile

overall navigation and set up is top notch

Nachteile

nothing of major significant everything seems to be good

Vorteile

It is customisable
It is a relatively cheaper ERP product
It covers all the financial aspects including accounts payable and receivables
It has localised African support

Nachteile

BI/Dashboard is poor
Materials management poor

Vorteile

Intuitive menu structure and easy to use once the basics have been learnt.
Very flexible and can be customized to suit your business

Nachteile

Relatively complex initial set up and not the quickest of systems as always a processing delay

Vorteile

Production lot tracking for quality control purposes works very well.
There are no differences between the ERP/production and the accounting balances like sometimes happens with add on accounting software.

Nachteile

The financial reporting software in X3 is not very good at all, but with SEI as an add-in, that problem is solved.

Vorteile

Its standout features especially its scalability and flexibility

Nachteile

One of the aspects I like least about Sage X3 is its complexity in implementation and customization

Vorteile

Wide ranging solution which allows flexibility in processes

Nachteile

When items which seem like they should be business standard are not included and bespoke is required at additional cost

Vorteile

Una gran solución que nos ayuda a mantener una gran conexión entre departamentos, y nos facilita todas las gestiones de ventas, compras, inventarios y fabricación con un solo software.

Nachteile

Implementación demasiado larga, informes muy limitados y pocos.

Nachteile

Vorteile

Sage X3 is platform agnostic, highly flexible and configurable ERP application that meets the demands of an industry governed by FDA, DEA, cGMPs. The financials at its core are solid, allowing for the inventory and manufacturing transactions to be performed with trackability traceability throughout the life cycle of the product manufacturing.

Nachteile

Sage X3 has as it's core language a proprietary 4GL language that has been challenging to find skilled resources with experience coding in.

Vorteile

Allows workflow be controlled for this to be authorised
Very user friendly as far as inputting data is concerned
Ease of customisation to improve the processes being manipulated.

Nachteile

A little confusing with the many options available
A little time consuming to finding your end goal, and therefore a lot had to be tailor made to suit our purpose

Vorteile

Our initial integration team did not our environment correctly. We have been combatting this for years.

During this time, our new team is learning of the robust features that we have been missing out on. We are expand and learn.

Nachteile

Cost. Helpdesk option that is automatically included in our yearly fees. We rarely us the Helpdesk based on past experiences. We go directly to consultants.

Vorteile

Functions link to related content with a click. Lots of set up options to meet various requirements. Very few multi-user record locks.

Nachteile

The error messages are often too vague. Implementation was quite lengthy and could have been handled better. The hard allocations are often frustrating.

Vorteile

The MRP system, query tools, and the SEI tool.

Nachteile

Many of the detailed aspects of the system aren't described in enough detail in online help and general documentation.

Vorteile

I like that this product has a help button on every tab, I also like how easy this software is to use and how quickly I was able to learn how to work with it and explore everything that it has to offer.

Nachteile

I do not like how you can easily add or change codes by clicking one wrong button. I do not like how many modules are on it, I feel like they categorize way to much.

Vorteile

Excel downloads and re-coding documents before finalization

Nachteile

I actually experienced a situation where part (unbalanced)of a journal posted and caused my G/L to be unbalanced. This should not be possible and is concerning

Vorteile

Super easy to use;
Excellent layout;
Extremely customizable;
Great 3rd party companies have services for it (NexTec)

Nachteile

Sometimes can have JSON or Java Bridge errors;
Sometimes one minor error can cause the whole system to freeze up

Nachteile

There is no drawback. it works brilliantly and services are good so nothing bad about this software.

Vorteile

Sus cuadros de mando, informes predefinidos, la facilidad para operar en mucho de sus módulo. La posibilidad de navegar entre las distintas operaciones realizadas ya que están enlazadas

Nachteile

Que las consultas o guías a las que se accede desde el programa a veces no son claras y no suelen estar en español.

Vorteile

Evolución, versatilidad, adaptabilidad y posición mercado.

Nachteile

Algo de complejidad de implantación, pero en la línea de cualquier ERP.

Vorteile

Variety of data

Nachteile

Access management is not as easy to setup as we would like

Vorteile

La personalización, la adaptación del software a la empresa y no al revés

Nachteile

Si la incidencia no puede ser resuelta por el consultor y llega a Sage, la resolución es lenta

Vorteile

La stabilité du produit, les nouveautés à chaque release, la considération des retours clients.

Nachteile

L'ergonomie et sa personnalisation, encore plus pour les applications mobiles (inventaire, etc...)

Vorteile

Sage X3 est un ERP d'une grande stabilité

Nachteile

on doit passer forcement par un integrateur

Vorteile

Software muito fácil de trabalhar.Económico Integração fácil com outras aplicações.Pesquisa foi melhorada.

Nachteile

Visualização do ecrã (layout) deve ser melhorado.Dificuldade na gravação de alteração de documentos

Vorteile

Sage X3 is a very good tool web-based and responsive, which allows you to easily cover all the processes in the business it's flexible and updatable and scalable.

Nachteile

Document management doesn't exist in the standard version. The attachment option is very poor and difficult to manage and maintain.

Vorteile

É um produto fácil de implantar, que permite configurações diversas para a demanda da nossa empresa. Conseguimos utilizar facilmente com a legislação brasileira. Os itens que não sabemos configurar tem um suporte de três níveis que nos ajuda. Bem como tivemos suporte de instalação.Nossa empresa como é pequena não utilizamos todas as ferramentas do Sage x3, mas conseguimos controlar as entradas e saídas, também conseguimos fazer as integrações com web service, para os nossos sistemas antigos.Gerencia muito bem nossos Artigos/Produtos, é possível fazer diversos tipos de gestão, por estoque, por região.. etc.Acredito que com a expansão e conforme ganhamos experiencia, e conhecermos todas as centenas de recursos do sistema iremos agilizar o fluxo de trabalho do nosso negócio.

Nachteile

Não há integrações diretas com sistemas de ecommerce, é preciso desenvolver a integração.O suporte para a legislação brasileira é ótimo, mas o sistema não tem um help completo disponível em português brasileiro, não é grave pois o suporte nos ajuda em tudo.

Vorteile

Palette de fonctionnalités large, il n'est pas nécessaire de recourir à beaucoup de logiciel tiers à interfacer, sauf besoins vraiment spécifiques.Les développements spécifiques sont aisés à conduire avec le langage L4G, et si les best practices sont suivies, les mises à jour et migrations ne présentent aucune difficulté, ce qui est fort rare dans le monde des ERP.En v12, l'abandon de versions majeures au profit de releases représente un progrès énorme, on peut enfin se concentrer sur les usages métiers de l'ERP plutôt que de perdre des mois en recette sur des migrations de versions.

Nachteile

En v12, l'usage exclusif d'un client web est appréciable, mais les fonctionnalités du web sont très sous-exploitées encore, en terme d'ergonomie. La personnalisation possible est encore pauvre au vu des possibilités offertes par le web.

Vorteile

Sage X3 has an excellent user interface, it feels like all the icons and elements are in the right place to do the best job possible, keeping our users happy and familiar with all the possible tools within the platform. Importing and exporting data can be done in bulk helping us keep our file central up to date and saving a great deal of time. This tool is not suggested for small companies since the amount of functions and where it is directed goes far beyond, a very powerful tool that has minimal flaws that gradually have been resolved, the tool provides a lot of support when it is implemented correctly which is not easy, and its customer service is not as good as expected of a very powerful tool.

Nachteile

One of the things that have caused us most intrigue is that its error messages are not in our native language, so if we do not speak another language it is impossible to understand what it is about, it would be a good point to improve. The initial configuration of Sage X3 is not as simple as expected, which forced us to hire third parties to make it work and this represented an extra expense that was not contemplated in the investment.

Vorteile

Since I grew up with technology all the functions and placements, for the most part, do make sense to me and it is easy to use.

Nachteile

I do wish that the lettering wasn't so small. I understand that I would have to scroll more or adjust the spacing of my sections, however, I think it would be very useful and would improve the usage between co-workers.

Vorteile

Overall, the system is more user-friendly as far as data entry is compared to Sage 500. We were able to customize what was needed, which have improved processes from the previous software.

Nachteile

The software is a bit overwhelming with many options that don't pertain to our business and finding tasks is a bit cumbersome and time-consuming, although given more time using the software may improve this issue. We did have to customize quite a bit that we didn't initially think we would have to, and much of what was customized can't be (or not easily) modified by regular users (crystal reports).

Warum Sage X3 gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Sage X3

Vorteile

AP is what we use this for, and it is quite easy to use.

Nachteile

Set up and customization is hard. There are so many menus in the back, to change or update anything it feels like I have to go into several menus. None of which you could figure out on your own - you will most likely be forced to have a 3rd party research and help resolve issues. At least tell you all the menus you have to go into in order to get something to work.

Vorteile

Reliable and predictable management of standard ERP functions. Easy to customize. Web services integrated. Security is granular enough to cover most situations.

Nachteile

After login it takes several seconds to see the landing page. It's difficult to determine cause of some issues and error messages can be cryptic, requiring us to contact support in many cases, even for seemingly simple problems. Use on a mobile device is limiting as most screen layouts are designed for a PC.

Easy to learn
Easy to adapt company needs
High capacity of develpment and adding new features
Great product management
Wharehouse management

Nachteile

Lack of some contry legislations
Non centralized update management

Vorteile

L'ergonomie en apparence est intéressant. J'aime particulièrement le designer de processus.Le module finance est trés complet

Nachteile

Le module MRP / stock et Production n'a pas évolué depuis 2005.

Vorteile

The product itself, is very versatile and agile to adapt to our needs without tremendous modifications. I like the General Ledger and AP functions.

Nachteile

The software manufacturer. The product itself is good, the value for maintenance is not good. There are two many bugs for what is charged in maintenance fees. Sage is way too difficult to deal with and are surprised that users are unhappy. Are experience is it takes a month to get a ticket resolved. Passed around to multiple people and the suggested solution is it is a problem with your system. We can't recreate it.

Vorteile

Development of new process and ease of use.

Nachteile

Some basic development should be supportive from the SAGE support team. Some standard script file we can not see.

Support is not available on a good amount.

Vorteile

Sage X3 is good software with a very robust set of features. Tasks such as completing quotes and orders are easy to complete.

Nachteile

The only thing that I wish was different was the creation of new users. Instead of having multiple screen for setting up a user, everything should be in one place.

Vorteile

I like that X3 works really well for corporations that are made up of many different companies. X3 has the ability to handle multiple separate companies that each one of can be further separated into stock and financial sites that can all share customers, suppliers, G/L accounts, etc., providing smooth consolidation.
X3 has a very easy to understand and easily navigable user interface.

Nachteile

I do not like the limited capabilities of the canned reports and queries provided with X3.
I also do not like the slow response time from the support staff.
The program does not work well with customization because it causes a lot of problems when it comes time for patching and upgrading.

Vorteile

Es intuitivo , y muy personalizable teniendo los conocimientos

Nachteile

La forma de realizar y probar modificaciones en los informes. Hay que modificar , guardar , ir al ERP , imprimir.... se pierde bastante tiempo. No se puede ver directamente el resultado desde el crystal reports ya que hay que alimentar el informe con parámetros que le pasa el ERP.
