BlackLines Finance Controls and Automation Platform meets the needs of all types of companies, no matter what size they are or where they operate in the world.
Company size between 10 and 200 employees. Very suitable for the areas of production, sales and professional services.
Great product overall with a lot of features and available room for customization. Offers great workflow management on top of the automation features.
Blackline is connected to our main accounting software, but there's a serious lag. Imagine you are reconciling an account in Blackline and notice you are missing an entry.
Nothing better in my opinion. For corporations looking to get a better understanding of your account balances - this was wonderful.
We had an awful implementation, so i'm sure I'm a bit biased. The Blackline team was not responsive and it took much longer than it should have to implement.
I am set up to be using it as an administrator. I am learning more about the program, and so far, it has been a good experience.
It doesn't update immediately - It doesn't update for an entire day, sometimes more. When deadlines are looming, a lag of that magnitude is serious.
There are lots of functionality to help with things like Journal Entries, and reconciliations and lots of automation processes.
It's not intuitive to click on cancel if you want to exit after making a change.
Sage 100 compliance management functions are impressive and its and effective project cost management platform with nice budgeting capability.
Missing many key functions, has too many restricted areas that need to be more user-friendly, that were not designed by real life users.
Sage 100 Advanced mixes the best of both worlds, the ability to customize the product to meet my needs with the price of an out-of-the-box solution.
Poor integration with shipping alternatives. Inability to easily communicate system data with clients.
It is very user friendly and layout is very clean and easy to navigate. I like crating working with queries that linked to Sage and this gives you endless options to retrieve needed information.
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.
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.
My biggest complaint being the amount of time it takes to do simple process. Example: when we have price changes and adjustments to make, it can not be done from a central place.
Blake B.: Hi, my name is Blake. I'm a product manager for a company in the mining and metals industry, and I give Sage 100cloud a five out of five. Before choosing Sage 100cloud, we also looked at Microsoft Dynamics 365, as well as NetSuite. Ultimately, we chose Sage 100cloud because, prior to Sage 100cloud, we used Sage 50. So the users actually had the best experience upgrading to this 100cloud. They felt that the interface was familiar, but that the upgrade solved a lot of the problems we were having. We chose Sage 100cloud for three reasons. The first is that it's cloud based. The previous instance of Sage we used with Sage 50. It was an on-premise piece of software where we had to basically maintain our own database. It crashed constantly, and it was always a headache. Ultimately, the cloud fix those problems. Second, we liked the SaaS model of billing a lot more than the lump sum license fee every year. It helps spread out cash flows and thus gave our organization more predictability in financial planning. Lastly, Sage 100cloud has a lot better app integration and functionality than its predecessors. You can easily plug and play with different software applications you might have around your company, and immediately pool all the data together for a comprehensive view of your operation. From an onboarding integration standpoint, Sage was excellent. They gave us a nearly full dedicated specialist who was able to walk us through new user creation, data cleaning, and upload, and ultimately being successful with the software product after purchase. They were able to teach us how to use the new upgraded cloud. It wasn't very hard for us, because we used Sage 50 in the past. So mostly it was just enhancements and the new dashboards we could easily create. From an integration standpoint, they gave us a tutorial on how their API worked and how you can easily plug and play with other applications that might be able to use the cloud. If you're familiar with web apps in general, then Sage 100cloud won't be a large leap for you to use. If you're considering Sage 100cloud, I have a couple of recommendations for you. First and foremost, truly assess whether you need to upgrade your software. Prior to upgrading from Sage 50 to Sage 100cloud, we were feeling a lot of system and process related pain that was relevant to the Sage 50 accounting system. It was at that point where we knew we had to upgrade. If you're not feeling that cumbersome pain, maybe hold off for a little bit and conserve your cash, and perhaps pour the growth into other areas.
