Sage 100 – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

covers all the basic functions

Nachteile

missing many key functions, has too many restricted areas that need to be more user-friendly, that were not designed by real life users

Vorteile

Ease of use. This software is easy to get started with and easy to make small basic customizations to fit your companies needs.

Nachteile

As always with ease of use comes lack of options to fit niche needs. Everything needs to be purchased through a third party vendor

Vorteile

Easy for user especially modules which is showing step by step

Nachteile

to add module costs lots of money, does not make sense for small business like our Company, your pricing is comparable for medium or large business pricing

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Sage 100

Vorteile

We have used Sage for over 10 years. Our primary business is manufacturing. Sage has a wide range of tracking and amazing functions that can be done. If you need a robust program and have the budget for it, this is the one to go with.

Nachteile

Learning how to use all the completx functions proves to be difficult and training & software are very spendy.

Vorteile

The ability to have all 3 locations in one company but with sub accounts.

Nachteile

It is difficult to do certain things in accounts payable and accounts receivable.

Vorteile

I like the organizational view and how everything is very easy to find within the program. Financial statements are so easy to understand!

Nachteile

I would have to say the tech support sometimes lacks a little more attention to detail and availability to want to solve the program as quickly as possible.

Vorteile

We have been using the Sage ERP Suite for over 10 years and it has been very reliable with only a few issues along the way. In there new releases they have mitigated the issues we have run into. We have been able to customize quite a bit to make it more streamlined for our users.

Nachteile

Payroll we had some issues with and moved to another solution.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Sage 100

Vorteile

I like the fact that all module related to the different operations of the company are connected to another.

Nachteile

The HR aspect of payroll can be improved. This is not an HR software by any means but some more functionalities could be introduced upgraded.

Vorteile

This software is OK for accounting. And that is about it. Any additional modules or functionality (you are buying this as an ERP, not just Quickbooks software) has an additional cost.

Nachteile

Very difficult to administrate. Online help is next to nothing. Proprietary database (ProvideX). Sage Support is very expensive and more often than not they will tell you that they can't help with your problem and you need to talk to your Sage consultant.. Upgrading software can be quite complex if you have any customizations. Next to no innovation in the software. I recently did a version 2014 to version 2017 upgrade (they have new versions every year). The biggest feature upgrade in those 3 years? You can now resize the window and have the text "somewhat" scale. Wow, just wow.

Vorteile

The day to day use of the software works well

Nachteile

Every time we update the software or move to a new version, we have glitches and have to call for support.
It's also harder now to make custom reports for payroll (since it is a stand alone module)

Vorteile

Visual integrator to import files and Sage intelligence for customized reporting needs

Nachteile

some of the standard built in reports such as sales orders by item and product line are not very excel friendly and look better on paper.

Vorteile

When we started the business 20 years ago, we needed a good Bill of Materials integration with an ERP system. This software provided that. The company has grown with the software. The software easily integrates with the Microsoft Office tools.

Nachteile

There are a lot features for much larger companies that we do not use. The CRM feature is not easily integrated. It requires separate installation.

Vorteile

The product walks you through most of the modules with ease. It allows me to give ownership to the departments that work their modules and monitor their progress. Thankful for Sage University, bundling the training so that individuals get a better feel of what their use of Sage effects within the whole organization.

Nachteile

The number of redundant stops in updating. The lack of ability to reopen completed items like sales orders and work orders. The inability to utilize recurring invoicing through AR, as it does not have the capability of tying out the ship to address with sales tax.

Vorteile

We went with Sage because we needed an accounting software that would also keep inventory stock. The fact that Sage has build able modules and customization available is pretty much the biggest asset available. I use Accounts Receivable, Payable, Sales Order, Inventory Management, Purchase order, General Ledger and Paperless office. I like that it allows me to more permanently close out accounting days and keeps track of all reports for later use.

Nachteile

It is a time consuming software to learn, definitely keep a professional on standby when installing and learning the system. Although I like being able to close out days and orders, it does make it a little harder to fix any mistakes. There are occasional bugs with the system but nothing that hasn't been able to be fixed with a phone call to our Sage installer.

Vorteile

This product can do it all if you have a PHd in databasing!

Nachteile

Difficult to set up and launch. Works great once it is but the training time for my employees was very long. Large corporations would benefit from this overly robust product.

Vorteile

We use Sage 100 for A/P, A/R, and G/L and those modules work great for our business. The interface is simple to use and customizable so you can see only the fields that are important to you. We've also built several import jobs to be able to import data from our other systems.

Nachteile

My only complaint with Sage 100 is that it practically requires a third-party to help you implement and upgrade every so often. I wish the upgrade process was more intuitive and better documented so that a third-party would not be necessary.

Vorteile

I like how everything is linied together kinda of like quickbooks. It's pretty simple to use and has step by step guidance

Nachteile

Its kinda slow at times. We upgraded from peachtree so it's way better than that. Honestly nothing I can say bad other than its slow

Warum Sage 100 gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Sage 100

Vorteile

Has almost all the features you need, but finding them all takes a little time. But does the job

Nachteile

Quite expensive, customer support is dire (when you can actually get anyone) and it’s quite difficult software to use if you are not trained in accountancy

Vorteile

This software does everything. its highly customizable and now that it can run on SQL there are countless ways to pull data and reports on nearly any object or module.

Nachteile

Customizations can come back to bite you when it comes to support. The design feels like an old application that has had things "bolted on" for years to keep it relevant. It needs a complete rewrite using modern programming, languages, capabilities and techniques. Even though its customizable, its very rigid.

Vorteile

I think that the menu is super user friendly, the amount of reports that you can utilize are plentiful, as well as the integration with other programs.

Vorteile

It is a sturdy platform. Served its purpose. Has good features .... a good overall solid mid sized company package.

Nachteile

As in previous reviews, they are now price gouging with huge support price increases. Can't get any update without getting support plan. They do not have a "pay for support" option only for the experienced user of their software. Now we can't get phone support. Only support given is through web chat. That really sucks!! Imagine trying to teach someone how to use the Report Writer feature through web chat. Very Sad!!!

Vorteile

I love all of the different capacities, EDI is wonderful through Sage 100. Invoicing is a breeze.

Nachteile

There's so much to learn. I don't even know 1/4 of what I can do in sage 100.

Vorteile

La facilidad de uso y las funciones básicas que tiene

Nachteile

Echo de menos algunas funciones pero nada que no sea salvable.

Vorteile

All the modules are set up the same. We have 8 modules and the set up is the same style.

Nachteile

Reporting could be easier. They are moving to crystal reports and being able to export from each module but they are not there yet. Attaching tables is a pain to deal with.

Vorteile

I used Mas90 for 18 years and Sage 100 there is a lot more you can do with it. Took time to get used to but I am still learning the ins and outs of the product. I like using it so far.

Nachteile

You need to be able to put longer descriptions in.

Vorteile

The software is perfect for billing customers, sending statements, gathering finacial data for financial reporting.

Nachteile

It could be a bit more user friendly. You can use the help system to figure out most things you might not be familiar with however.

Vorteile

Effective, yet simple to understand and utilize

Nachteile

Doesn't have the fancy looking categories. It's just plain and simple

Vorteile

It's reliable and it's a great way to organize data. I like that I can pull data into Excel with a Microsoft Query and have multiple tables to get information from, such as invoice history, purchase order, sales order, and item information.

Nachteile

It's ancient looking. The aesthetics of the software in Classic View is not modern at all. However, it gets the job done and it's very efficient.

Vorteile

Easy to use overall. Simple to navigate, the interface is intuitive, and it is easy to reach customer service. Integrates with many PSAs.

Nachteile

Lacks basic features (such as recurring invoices and expenses) that most other options in this field offer.

This only applies to the US version of this software. The UK version appears to be much more fleshed out.

Warum Sage 100 gewählt wurde

Zuvor genutzte Software

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Sage 100

Vorteile

What I like most about this software is that it's not worse. I've used worse, but I have definitely used better.

Nachteile

This software is not easily customizable. Some simple things that could be better are just a pain. For example, posting entries, one should never have to go through several steps to post every single time. I've worked with softwares where you can set it to the level of steps you want. If you want to print and post, you should be able to do that all in one step.

Vorteile

This software is easily customizable at install AND it is reliable. The software updates are rarely a problem; no need to wait for other users to test and work out the bugs found in some software updates.

Nachteile

Module pricing is a little more costly than other software, but then again how much is data integrity worth?
I like to sleep at night, so it's a good investment.

Vorteile

Affordable, flexible, stable data base, excellent module integration.

Nachteile

Does not have a Point of Sale option, or a full featured Web Store, or user friendly API tool.

Vorteile

Lo visual que es, lo fácil que es manejarlo, las opciones que tenemos de poder desarrollar funciones por nosotros mismos.

Nachteile

El tiempo que hemos tardado en migrar la información desde el antiguo ERP

Vorteile

The product is user friendly, the pull down windows are very helpful for new employees. New employees were easily trained to use the product.

Nachteile

It would be a great enhancement if all reports would not close after print/print preview.

Our checks are not standard laser printer checks, and it was a little challenging to set up to print correctly. Smart printers would not allow the adjustments. Final fix was to purchase an inexpensive printer.

Vorteile

EVERYTHING EASE OF WORKING .. BALANCING BOOKS

Nachteile

PAYROLL - YOU HAVE TO RUN 2 DIFFERENT PAY PERIODS SEPARATE

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to get the information that I need when I need it. Reports are easy to read and understand. It is very easy to maneuver around.

Nachteile

Before we upgraded to a newer version I liked the way my reports printed off. Some of the reports went to landscape and some stayed portrait. With it doing that some of my reports are more pages.

Vorteile

The modules all use the same format and features. When a user is familiar with one module it is easy to learn to use all the modules.

Nachteile

For our company, we use several custom reports that are cumbersome, difficult to create, and time consuming.

Vorteile

Easy to maneuver through it and all the modules. It can do everything I need it to do and it provides me with all of the reports and data that I need.

Nachteile

I get a lot of errors and have to sign out. Things get complicated with multiple users doing certain things at the same time. I think it may be more of a computer issue and not a program issue, but often times I have to wait 10-20 seconds for modules to open which can be frustrating when trying to get things done quickly.

Vorteile

I have been using Sage Mas90 for more than 9 years. We are a manufacturing company and many of our data are entered or stored in this program. We have our Bill of materials, accounting stuff, customer information in this program and we update or write data in daily basis. I use it mostly for pulling data and using it for building our product. Without it things would be very unorganized and hard to manage.

Nachteile

For the purpose i use it as an engineer, i have no problem.

Vorteile

The only thing that I like about this software is the modules. It does make it easier to find the specific feature that I am looking for, for example entering a purchase order or searching for a vendor.

Nachteile

I am unaware if this software has the ability to copy previous transactions, at this point I have not yet found that it can. I do not like that there is not a system information feature to view who created what with timestamp. I also do not like that there is not the option to import/upload supporting transaction documents, for example the quote for a purchase order or vendor application for a new vendor.

Vorteile

Sage is easy to navigate and easy to learn. There is so much that you can do with the program, it was very useful in my Billing Department.

Nachteile

I don't really have any cons about the software

Vorteile

Sage Intelligence Reporting is amazing. We have a certain financial reporting format that we like to use and Sage Intelligence helped set up that format and allows for that template to be saved and simply push a button and your done.

Nachteile

Paperless office could be easier to search and pull up in the actual software for a detailed drill down view.

Vorteile

The ease of use of this software is what I like most about it. We only use the GL & AP modules and I haven't experienced any issues with those modules.

Nachteile

The software really needs a real cloud-based version that does not have to be installed on a server. The name Sage 100cloud is really misleading.

Vorteile

Sage 100c is a user friendly software that integrates the accounting software and warehouse management. The integration helps with productivity and work flow. The partner software is well designed and helps with each module.

Nachteile

The base system needs to be customized at a cost.

Vorteile

Sage is an accounting software with more than enough features for simple accounting tasks. It is highly recommended for small inputs. It is applicable for tax management which I think, most software lack. VAT reports and filing is possible with this software. Expense tracking and cash management, amongst other features of this software, are another features of this software that I use both personally and for work. Sage is just easy and simple. Its app availability is also a great plus.

Nachteile

I have found that slow internet connection also slows output for this software which is really hard if you are trying to reach a quota. But it is still highly capable of its work depending on your internet connection.

Vorteile

History look ups, built in checks, security management, ease of entering formulas

Nachteile

Where we are at now is very manual and repetitive when moving from location to location in our process. Repeating the work order entry to move from step to step. We have looked into the WO Scan option but it didn't fit our process. I am hoping the new production manager helps solve these issues and is a overall more user friendly and robust program

Vorteile

I like how user friendly it is. Every item you need to use is laid out in the menu section so you know exactly where to go for which function you want to use. It updates batches quickly and accurately.

Nachteile

The only thing I do not like about Sage 100 is if you have multiple companies/entities under one main company, you have to have separate billing systems for each. You cannot merge vendor information from one company to the next.

Vorteile

I came from another company where we used Visual Mfg. Coming here and learning a completely new program made me nervous but, my fears were not warranted. It was very similar which helped me to be able to pick it up quickly.

Nachteile

I have no complaints. Maybe after I use it for more than a couple of years I will.

Vorteile

The best part of Sage is the flexibility to mold it to your business needs. Like all businesses, we have special needs and as we were able to identify our needs we were able to make Sage fit into them.

Nachteile

The interface is clunky. We ended up using Sage mostly for back office needs and creating a website that better presents us with the information on customers and products that is more robust than the standard Sage package.

Vorteile

If you are manufacturing or distribution company that is breaking $5 mil - $10 mil annually, then Sage 100 offers a suite of functionality that can be built out and customized to meet your specific needs. From Accounts Receviable, Payable and your General Ledger to powerful modules for Sales, Inventory, and Production Management, there are a broad range of tools at your disposal that can be Additionally, Sage 100cloud comes with an eco-system of Independent Software Vendors who can seamlessly integrate with your critical data. Sage becomes the primary system of truth for your business, and when configured right, it can be a powerful tool for growing and scaling. Further more, if you connect with the right reseller in the channel, they can guide you and consult with you on best practices to ensure your implementation is successful.

Nachteile

Some of it's UI can be clunky and difficult to use. Sage 100 has origins going way back to the 1980s (MAS90), and it can be behind the curve when it comes to things like ease of use and having a clean and simple aesthetic. Their are competitors that have cleaner UI's, but Sage 100 has a history of serving SMB markets in versatile ways, and this doesn't need to be why you don't buy.
