Pros What I like is the face that sage helps me to boost my project productivity, limiting errors, improving correspondence among parties,and creating adjustible reports Cons I have been using this software for a while now and my only issues us that I still cant remove some dormant account.that is my only issues Switched from [Jonas Construction Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/25050/Jonas-Construction-Software/) I had better experience with sage 300 construction software Review Source KC Karey C. Bookkeeper Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Take the time to learn it, you won't regret it!!" April 21, 2026 5.0 When I first started with my current company the bookkeeper was old school and only used the program for the bare minimum like payroll, invoicing and printing cheques. I signed up with a business partner and they have shown me some great features that make the month end process so much smoother. Pros I love the work flow & specialty features like reallocating income with holding accounts, it makes my month end so much easier. Cons The only way to get quick support is the sign up with a business partner and pay them for the service. The online support is not specific situational enough. Review Source AV Annette V. Accounting Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review 2026" April 23, 2026 3.0 Pros Once you get the hang of it, you can pretty much navigate to anything. Things seem to cross reference fairly easily Cons Same thing its difficult to learn all of the aspects and how they work together unless someone shows you every little thing. Its difficult to self learn Review Source LD Leo D. Embedded software engineer test Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Functionality Once You Learn the System" February 26, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Sage Construction Suite has been positive. It’s a powerful system that provides strong control over project financials, job costing, and reporting. While it can take some time to learn, once familiar with it, the software becomes a reliable tool for managing construction projects efficiently. Pros The best part for me was how everything is connected. Having financials, job costing, and project information in one system saved a lot of time and reduced mistakes compared to managing things separately. Cons One thing I liked least was that the interface can feel a bit dated and takes some time to get used to. New users often need training before they feel fully comfortable navigating the system. Review Source FG Frances G. Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Sage" April 25, 2026 5.0 We have been using Sage for more than 20 years. I believe it is still the best construction software available Pros I find Sage easy to learn and use. Estimates can be as detailed as needed and transferring information to job costing is invaluable Cons All Reports are not customizable and don't always meet our specific business needs The interface between estimating and job costing is a little cumbersome Review Source FR Francis R. Accounting Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Reporting " April 21, 2026 5.0 I have found the software very easy to work with. The reports are highly detailed and provide numerous columns of information to utilize. Pros the best feature is the ability to transfer data seamlessly to Excel and PDF formats. The information entered is extremely detailed and easy to access. Cons I have no issues with the software. It is easy to use. the best feature is the ability to transfer data seamlessly to Excel and PDF formats. The information entered is extremely detailed and easy to access. Review Source LB Lori B.

The knowledge base and technical support are best compared to the other software companies I use. Pros It is a very robust suite of accounting software. It is easy to troubleshoot issues and apply fixes. Cons There is always a fix to correct an entry but myassistant has been awesome with the higher level of support issues.

Property Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage to Save the Day" April 27, 2026 5.0 I've been in the property management business for 15yrs now and this is by far the most user-friendly program I use. If I were to ever have to recommend a program, I would absolutely recommend Sage. Pros The ease in accessing needed information and overall use of the program. Thankfully I have not had to use customer support but I'm confident that when/if I ever do, it will be a painless experience. Cons I honestly can't think of any cons at the moment. Everything seems to run smoothly for me and eases my daily workload. Review Source JB Julianne B. office mgr Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy enough!" April 23, 2026 5.0 Pretty easy to use and/or find video how to's on youtube. I am not an accounting major so this system is basic enough for me to understand and work through. Pros This is system is easy to use, easy to modify the look and/or find help on things I am not sure about. Cons would like to be able to run more reports from closed years. I often have to provide audit info for previous years and would like access without having to close out and open previous years. Review Source KJ Karen J. Bookkeeper Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" April 27, 2026 4.0 Ease of use, easy to train employees, but I would like a report of our tax exempt customers which I have not been able to find, plus sometimes we need to know sales totals by state. Pros Ease of use and access of information and information access. Easy to enter AP invoices and AR invoices. Cons When we sales tax it does not work well with Avalara. Cannot figure how to get this done correctly. Review Source AM Ami M. General Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sage made us more efficient" February 27, 2025 5.0 Overall, we find the software to be more suitable for all of our needs, without having to upgrade to add additional "modules" to access further features such as purchase orders. Pros We switched from Viewpoint to Sage and find Sage to much easier to use for our firm. The interface is easier to navigate and the software allows for easier customization for documents and contracts. Cons It took us a little bit to get set up qith our atandard docs however, we did find the process easier than our previous programming Switched from [Viewpoint Vista](https://www.capterra.com/p/239335/Vista/) We found Viewpoint to be difficult to customize abd expensive to maintain and upgrade Review Source Response from Sage March 3, 2025 Thank you, Ami, for your review! We're thrilled to hear that Sage has made your firm more efficient and that you find it easier to use and customize. We appreciate your patience during the setup process and are glad it was smoother than your previous experience. Your feedback is invaluable to us. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Sage 100 seems to have a good base, but needs a lot of development to make it standout. Pros We liked the fact that Sage 100 has Accounting, Service (work order management), and New Construction (Job management) in one package. Our goal was to make sure all programs are seamlessly communicating by having the same platform. None of these products really standout as special, but have the basic functions. Cons Basic functions in Accounting were set up strange and go against GAPP principles. Payroll is cumbersome to manage and Sage does not have a really good field time capture solution. SSO is basic and inconsistent. Basic navigation to look up customers and manage service contracts are not streamlined. It takes to many steps to access information and no easy wildcard "look up" functions. Alternatives considered [ServiceTitan](https://www.capterra.com/p/150053/ServiceTitan/)[Viewpoint Team](https://www.capterra.com/p/144467/Viewpoint-For-Projects/) Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite The ablity to have all three components of our business in one platform. Review Source JM Joey M. IT Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Powerful Construction Accounting Solution with a Learning Curve" May 1, 2026 5.0 Overall, Sage Construction Suite is a powerful and reliable solution tailored for the construction industry. It’s best suited for mid-sized to larger companies that require detailed financial tracking and are prepared to invest time in setup and training. Once implemented, it becomes a dependable system for managing construction accounting and operations. Pros Sage Construction Suite excels in job costing and financial tracking. The ability to drill down into costs by job, phase, and cost code provides strong visibility into project performance. Reporting features, especially WIP reports, are detailed and useful for forecasting and decision-making. The integration between accounting, payroll, and project modules helps streamline workflows and reduces duplicate data entry. Cons There is a noticeable learning curve during onboarding, particularly for teams without prior Sage experience. Custom reports and configurations can require additional support or technical knowledge. Review Source JD Jemal D. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sage Construction Review" April 23, 2026 5.0 This is a reliable and user-friendly solution that balances functionality with simplicity. It performs very well in day-to-day operations and delivers strong value for its cost. Pros I’ve had a solid experience using this platform overall, with a few standout strengths, the pricing feels fair for the range of features offered. Customer support has been responsive and helpful whenever issues come up. Cons The app can be difficult for new users to navigate so definitely a learning curve and some training needed. Review Source DM Dave M. Property Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage Review" May 4, 2026 5.0 Good to have a user friendly app that has tech support. Has been a positive interaction and will continue with Sage at our business Pros Easy to use. Non techy senior is able to use the parts of Sage that are needed for our business without issue Cons Cost seems high. Some parts of the app don't apply to our needs so I have not fully utilized everything. Review Source CL Christopher L. Controller Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid software" June 7, 2025 5.0 A solid software for small construction and development companies, and scaleable too, but had many deficiencies. Pros Processed information very quickly and spit it out in a very tabular data form. Also didn't require Internet. Cons Reports were difficult to customize, and data was hard to merge and connect across modules. A lot of desync opportunities from the general ledger. Review Source OS Olga S. Project Finance Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" November 6, 2025 5.0 Pros The suite is easy to use and process automation. Great value for the money. The customer support team is also great to work with. Cons Reporting creation. This could be improved. It does produce great reports but you have to contact support for anything you may need. Review Source IS Ian S. PE Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid Choice" June 5, 2025 4.0 We have been able to integrate Sage with multiple software platforms we use, successfully, and the ability to break down data how we want to see it has been amazing. Pros The reporting features have been a huge benefit to our company in the last six months. We are able to analyze and track just about anything we want. Cons The only con may be that it's slightly antiquated but, due to the integrations wiht other software we use, it isn't enough of an issue to make us look elsewhere. Review Source TH Tara H. Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timberline is intuitive and easy to use" June 7, 2017 4.0 Pros I like this software because of the user interface. It's not overly complicated and fairly intuitive. It's easy to track change orders and pull reports. Cons I don't believe there is a way to attach and view documents related to change orders. That would be a great feature to have. Review Source MF Magdalena F. Director, Job Cost Operations Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "It works but could use an upgrade" June 3, 2026 4.0 For the majority of the part it gives us what we need however having to tab through screens in this day in age doesn't make it engaging. Pros It gives us great value for the money. It allows us to manage multiple projects and entities for our different funds. Cons It's not easy to navigate. It seems a little outdated and could use an upgrade in it's view and modules. Review Source IH Irene H. Accounts Receivable Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Big Upgrade for Our Company" July 15, 2024 5.0 We are happy with Sage Construction Suite. Any time we have had issues arise, customer service has always been really knowledgeable and helpful. It was a big upgrade for us and is capable of alot! Pros It is really great to have a software that multiple departments in our construction company can use from payroll to estimating. Implementation and training was pretty seamless. The Info Assistant module is really helpful too as you can run reports for any module there without occupying a license. Cons Running inquiries and reports can sometimes be tricky to find exactly what you are looking for. Regarding inquiries, the printouts always look like they came from a typewriter in the 80's. It would also be nice if the software was cloud based. Review Source DC Dee C. COO Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Needs More User Friendly Features" May 17, 2021 3.0 We would not purchase it again and would prefer to go back to our old system, but we've invested too much to do that at this time. Pros Widely universal so integration software more readily available with management systems and customer relation software. Cons We came from ComputerEase, which is very user friendly. Sage appears to be outdated. The installation and upgrade process is very time consuming and for most would require hiring their services to install or your IT personnel. The biggest issue we have is the font size. If you try to change the font size in your screen, the windows will distort and you cannot access certain information within Sage, so it strains your eyes to view the information. My other big concern, is that when processing applications for payment within Billing, it will allow you to go over 100% on a scheduled line. If you don't manually check via print preview, you can very likely overbill. Additionally, when voiding applications, there are some major hassles when it comes to stored materials on jobs that don't carry over stored each month. Lastly, if you do not post in the order and timeframe that you are trained to do, it results in a large hassle and time-consuming elimination process. There are several other items that are not favorable, but these are the top ones on our mind most frequently. Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite Because of the Procore Integration and because we could save documents within in as we did in ComputerEase (so we were told at the time). During the end of our training we were told otherwise and were forced to then purchase Sage Paperless in order to keep this feature. We were given it at a discount, but it is not as user friendly as CE. Review Source Response from Sage June 1, 2021 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Sage products and services. We strive to deliver the best experience possible for Sage customers. We would welcome the opportunity to connect with you to better understand how we can exceed your expectations in the future.

Not Ready for Primetime" February 10, 2023 1.0 With more than 30 years of Construction and IT Management experience, working with numerous other platforms, I find my time on this platform the most troublesome and frustrating part of my job. Pros There is nothing I like about this platform. Cons The developer has created a platform on the most narrow and arcane perspective of construction contracting and management. Nothing about this platform is congruent with industry standards and methodology, particularly if you work in the government sector. It is like someone took shortcuts in the SQL database development rather than truly thinking though the numerous permutations of the business processes associated with construction management. Every GUI for every module forces you to follow the developer's narrow methodology which frankly exposes their inexperience and poor understanding of construction management. You will find it takes far too many incongruent steps through too many screens creating cognitive disconnect just to perform the simplest tasks. You will likely find yourself developing workarounds just to get by..... only to find they don't work either. Just wait till you try to enter a contact's company title only to realize that you're forced to select from a drop down that can only be edited at the Contact Management Settings module! Utterly Stupid! And every element of every module is constructed this way. The canned reports are mediocre and tools to build custom reports harken back the old SQL and Access crap report builders. Don't even bother with the Excel import tools: besides having to downgrade files to 97/03 formats you have to use their canned spreadsheets only find numerous manual steps are still required to complete entries. I could go on...... Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite price Review Source LR Lori R. AP Specialist Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Where are the user instructions available for special reports and features? " May 17, 2021 4.0 Pros I did not do the integration, that was done by IT and they do not use the same day to day features that most users deal with. I'm sure the system is much easier for the IT people, but it needs to be easy or have instructions available for the every day majority of the users in the office. It seems very easy for day to day use for the majority of the work done in the office, there are just a few reports and features that would be nice to have. Possibly they are available but I'm not sure where to get instructions. Cons We were not provided with any sort of ongoing instructions or help for specific issues that we encountered after we fully implemented and starting using the software. Sometimes it will take a while to get use to something to realize you need other types of reports/information or functions, we had to just learn by trial and error. There is limited space when adding Vendors and no way (at least not know to us) to get rid of a vendor once it is added. We ended up with MANY double entry vendors. Additionally, making a vendor inactive in AP does not stop that vendor from being used in the SM module which creates issues importing. One of the biggest problems we have had is that the PO field allows users to accidentally type in random various characters, such as a / or lower case letters, which causes an error in the program importing. The system does not recognize the random characters which has cause a never ending loop posting. The system should not even allow someone to put in a character it will later not recognize, as we now have no way to get rid of these errors. Even customer service cannot fix the problem. We have POs that now have 492 lines as they are stuck in a loop and every day that we post another line gets added. Also we could use a reference guide on how to run specific reports we desire. Review Source Response from Sage June 1, 2021 Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your business and look forward to helping drive your continued success in construction and real estate. JC James C. Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good product, frustrating reporting, is Sage looking forward? " August 13, 2021 4.0 Solid ERP software. Expensive to get all the "bells and whistles". Requires work outside the software to get useful information efficiently. Pros Once trained, easy to use. Good security policies in place to allow multiple users with access to only what they need. Cons Cumbersome to get information out. If you want Job information about an AP invoice, you need to look at two different inquiries because the job info is in the Job Cost database while you are looking in the Accounts Payable database, or vice versa. Even with daily time entry, the Payroll module doesn't offer an inquiry or report to get daily info about an employee (Job charged to, EQ used, etc.) Finally, why doesn't Sage have any plans to develop a 64-bit ODBC driver? The whole world is going to 64-bit Windows platforms, but have to use 32-bit Spreadsheet software to use the ODBC connection to access the information that should be available from within the software itself.
