Sage X3

Overall experience has been good with the exceptions listed above. Allowing us to consolidate software is our goal.

Vorteile

I like the look a feel of the system and ease of opening other functions from the same screen.

Nachteile

System isn't designed for the chemical industry. A lot of mods or customizations have to be made for the system to support our needs. There is always a solution but there is always a cost as well. will be well over budget once everything is working the way it was presented.

Overall, our experience has been positive. I would recommend that companies ensure to include it in their RFP process.

Vorteile

Customizable features allow us to get the most out of the product. Workflows allow for controls for authorization where required.

Nachteile

Adding in some features required a lot of custom coding. Most notably was allowing for automatic allocations of product that is being cut.

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.

Product is decent, its a little pricey for our relatively small organization. The customer facing side of Sage is terrible. Cringe when have to use customer support. PSG group is either overworked or just plain unresponsive. Sage's view to charge customer for everything even when their consultants lead you down wrong path is very disappointing and the reason we don't recommend this product to our peers.

Vorteile

X3 is very versatile and lends itself well to adapt to businesses. Not as rigid as some other competitive products in the market.

Nachteile

The fixed asset module, not intuitive, repetitive and doesn't work. Support doesn't understand it either . There set-up and maintenance of the system is clunky, multiple layers, would be nice if Sage could look at streamlining some of this.

benefits are being able look in the system for locations or part numbers and usage of material. this is only my view in the warehouse.

Vorteile

location and picking tickets are relatively easy to use.

Nachteile

the way inventory counts are performed with the RF scanner are done, at present it has changed the way we do inventory. Prior to an up grade it was simple on the scanning of the bar code. After the up grade things changed on the scanning of the barcode having to answer question after the scan of a location was completed. Yes or no, do you want to delete on scan numbers. What it was before was much simpler.
