Sage 100 ERP Review

PROS: We’ve been using Sage 100cloud for several years. We utilize it to create reports not only to realize which among our products generate more revenue but also to see the level of sales acquired per customer. It provides ease in placing purchase orders and sales. Great software that helps both on our internal and external works.

CONS: Requires training to fully understand and maximize each module. It also took us some time to properly get the correct report for a specific meeting.

PROS: Sage 100 ERP has offered us with extreme veersatility and customization, enabling us to tweak the software so we can address our business needs head on.

CONS: I don't think there is anything I don't like about the software. Perhaps it takes a while to load up but I believe it is more of a network issue rather than a product issue.

PROS: There are many things that I like about the software. For one thing, it's very user-friendly and its interface is simple and easy to navigate. It's been a great help and has helped make it easier to access the information we need with very little trouble. This is a really great characteristic of the software which I think would be invaluable especially when a department like finance is communicating information to another department like manufacturing. A lot of its features have also been helpful when it comes to increasing business efficiencies since the time needed to retrieve data has now been minimized, which also results in a boost in performance.

CONS: If your company decides to use this software you have to make that there is already an expert in Excel onboard because data exporting is one of the software's less user-friendly aspects, with the final product requiring extensive clean-up. The data-exporting process can also be bogged down by file sizes larger than 100 MB. You also can't open a lot of windows simultaneously.

PROS: I can use it on both Windows and Microsoft SQL Server. It comes with all the modules I need to help me stay on top of my company's activities. The product is just versatile, robust, and user friendly.

CONS: Sometimes, getting help from the support team can be a pain. And when you get hold of them, it usually takes a long time before they resolve my issues. There is also an issue with their Excel exportation and scheduler.

PROS: Sage 100cloud is by far one of the most reliable solutions available in the software market nowadays. It is easy to use and helps us finish tasks faster. Whenever I encounter inaccuracies, it doesn’t get me stuck into such errors but instead helps me fix them quickly. With Sage 100cloud, my team acquires ease on our business logistics, stock data, unsettled accounts, and customer payments. It even helps make communication with customers and my team easy and quick.

CONS: We need to close a particular customer window when we need to deal with another. Also, the payment process should be made carefully, and the app doesn’t provide alerts whenever payments from customers are made. The developers should work on this more to provide ease and flexibility to users.

PROS: I love how the software is so easy to learn and use right off the bat.

CONS: I don't like the Paid Time Off (PTO) tracking feature. I lose fast access to previous year's financials after I place the records on archives.

PROS: I love how integrated modules streamlines information flows from takeoffs to POs, etc. Integrated software takes out instances of redundant data entry and errors.

CONS: I wish there's no need to perform multiple steps to accomplish everything, like being able to save a form without recalculating each time. There are certain aspects such as payroll and progress billing that have a couple more steps that could have been eliminated to make the product more productive.

PROS: I do not see anything I like about Sage 100 ERP and I find it hard to use as oppose to other available alternatives.

CONS: I don't like how I have to drill down deep to get to the information I need. I believe there are products out there, even older ones, that can do a better job.

PROS: Its user-friendly interface makes it easy to use! The contract module contains copy-paste functionality and allows us to store different contracts. This feature comes with paperless capability, eliminating the needs of using conventional data entry and processing.

CONS: Basic reporting tools are not available. The software doesn’t allow us to open several windows as we’re progressing. It is even hard to look for a specific report on a pool of reports available. What we do to avoid any mix-ups is we generate few reports and make sure each contains rich data in each and have some options to work on them later. Data should be entered manually. For instance, we utilize Automatic Data Processing for payroll processing, but can’t upload files from there, so we need to enter employee working hours manually.

PROS: I am tasked with creating and emailing invoices and this Sage software makes my job easy. I can easily integrate our sales orders into the software and then access and pull them up when I need them.

CONS: Batch processing significantly hampers some of the daily tasks. This is one area that really needs improvement.

PROS: I like the fact that I can look up my accounts receivables and payables without exiting the system or calling someone from the accounting department to help out with my search.

CONS: I would have love it if the site isn't too generic, although navigation is okay. That said, I had to teach my self on how to go around as it did not come with any instruction.

PROS: Sage 100 ERP dramatically reduced the time we spent on project final costing. Back when we were using QuickBooks, we usually took more than 2 hours to get the job done.

CONS: While it is an awesome product, batch processing can be somewhat slow, especially if we are working on multiple batches. It impacts real time information and data analysis.

PROS: Sage ERP 100 is a user-friendly system and an ideal option for accounts payables, receivables, printing checks, and doing payroll. It also allows me to generate and print reports after each update, which is great if I want to leave a paper trail for auditing purposes. I can also set up other users with different tasks and then merge their files and see what each user has contributed to the system.

CONS: There is nothing to dislike about the product. It may take some training before you get used to the system.

PROS: The product comes with GL modules that both stable and workable. Perfect for a small enterprise.

CONS: Sage 100 ERP sports an older interface, which gives the product an aged look and appeal. It doesn't have a rich feature set and robust capabilities. Also, I couldn't splice the data across several business units.
