BoldTrail Back Office vs Sage 100: Which is a better fit?

Mariah S.: My name is Mariah, I'm a Transaction Coordinator for a real estate team and I give Brokermint five out of five. Prior to Brokermint, We were just using word documents and spreadsheets for everything. We also tried a program that our broker parent company offered but it was in the new stages and had a lot of kinks to work out, so we decided to give Brokermint a shot. And we haven't looked back since. I did a lot of research into what would streamline our processes and Brokermint just seemed like the right fit for us. They said that they would help us to onboard, so I talked to Cisco in California. He walked us through it, he did a conference call and showed us how to use all the features and it is way more features than we can even use on our team. So it's been a really great experience and it's been almost two years now since we've been using it and we love it. My whole team loves it. Brokermint is super user-friendly from the get-go. We signed up and we had our conference call with Cisco, he walked us through everything, told us how to set up commissions for our team, told us we could even split and merge documents which is incredible and worth the money all in itself. So we can share documents within users, multiple users are able to use the software at the same time so that's awesome. We've just had a really great experience and it's also really pretty because the background is teal. For anyone considering using Brokermint it is crucial to the success of your team. It streamlines everything. There's checklists, it organizes everything, you can even merge with MLS and different billing software, so it's got more than you could ever hope for and it is far worth the money. It will increase your business because everything will be organized and I just highly recommend it.

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.
