I run many different reports that Sage helps out with. I am able to generate the necessary forms needed to do my job. Pros We utilize it for Account maintenance, set up, accounts payable, Forms and many more things. We us Sage on a daily base, system wise its always working. Cons I don't have any as of today. Every day I use the system it's relatively easy to log into and easy to use. Review Source R Reviewer Accounting Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Good Program for Construction Companies" June 30, 2026 5.0 I like Sage 100 Contractor it functions well for construction Companies. I like that you can fix common issues and make sure that all purchase orders and Change orders are added and you can audit them as well. Pros Value for Money, Construction Management, Customer Support, Takeoff, Budget planning and certified Payroll Cons It can be complicated to use if you are not familiar with the program. The customer support has always been helpful with any issues we have faced Review Source R Reviewer SVP Job Cost Accounting Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Happy with Sage 300" June 4, 2026 5.0 I have been a Sage 300 user for 27 years and it meets all our needs. Easy to train new hires on the product. Pros Extremely easy to use. Like that there are numerous business partners that work with this platform. Helps us customize for our needs. Cons I wish there was a way to make the fonts larger. It is really challenging to read data and as accountants we can make mistakes as some digits look similar. Review Source R Reviewer Director, Job Cost Operations Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "It works but could use an upgrade" June 4, 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 It seems a little outdated and could use an upgrade in it's view and modules.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 R Reviewer CFO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "1 month review" June 4, 2026 5.0 Overall I am pleased with Sage and am learning additional features quickly. The support amongst peers and help being readily available has also been helpful Pros Navigation amongst modules. Clean User Interface Network of peers available to answer any questions I have Cons Limited custom prebuilt reports Multiple screens and depth needed to create additional reports for information I am looking for Review Source R Reviewer Project accountant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Sage 300 and intacct " June 3, 2026 5.0 I’ve used sage 100 and 300 so far. I’ve enjoyed it much better than quickbooks. We are implementing intact soon, and it definitely seems like it will be more user friendly. Pros Ease of use as far as billing and report tracking. It is definitely easier to use than previous systems I’ve used for accounting. Cons It can be a bit daunting with Sage 300. There are so many separate windows to get in and out of in order to complete a task. Review Source R Reviewer Lead Project Accountant Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Sage intacct" June 3, 2026 5.0 We haven’t migrated over yet but overall it has been wonderful. Our integration team is extremely helpful in training and answering all questions we have no matter how complicated. They have also been open to finding new ways to make the intacct process similar to certain functions we currently use in 300. The cloud based software is amazing and much faster functionality wise than Sage 300. Pros I like the Intacct cloud based software and ease of creating dashboards, reports, and rules that will help our company run effectively and smoothly as the company continues to grow. It also has a much easier user interface than our current sage 300 CRE, which will be helpful in training new hires, our PMs, and those not necessarily technologically inclined. Cons It’s much different than sage 300, in a good way, but the transition is a bit difficult. There are different terms for invoicing (order entry) and purchase orders, which are 2 of my top functions in the current Sage software. Job cost reports are also interactive which is a pro and con, just will take some time getting used to it. Review Source R Reviewer Chief Financial Officer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Transition" June 3, 2026 5.0 Excellent we have been 300 users and just flipped to Intacct. The transition was awesome from the implantation standpoint. Pros User friendly and customizable. A lot of data that can show health of projects and company overall. Can bet set alot of different ways. Cons Almost too much! Lots to learn. There are so many ways to get to the same data. And so many ways to customize. Learning to do that can be daunting. Review Source R Reviewer Controller Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Intacct Sage " June 3, 2026 5.0 Overall it has been great implementing Sage Intacct. Very seamless and the support staff is awesome. Pros I like that Sage Intacct changes to a dimension based system where all costs can be associated directly with that dimension. It is great at keeping the GL cleaner. Cons There's not a lot bad to say. If I had to complain, it would be that the system gets very granule, so it can be time consuming. However, that means you get exactly what you want. Review Source R Reviewer Construction Administrator Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great product for the MEP construction world" June 2, 2026 4.0 Incredibly flexible and accessible from anywhere and give you the granular control over your construction financials, Sage covers almost every base you could need. The estimating and pre-construction tools are highly accurate, which helps keep our projects on budget Pros Having project management and accounting live in one system is a great time saver! The cloud-based access is a lifesaver, allowing our field and office teams to collaborate in real time on submittals, RFIs, and daily logs. Cons We found that managing the certified payrolls could be a little cumbersome with detail in the fringe benefits. Review Source R Reviewer Full stack web developer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Sage is a good value for the the money I paid" September 23, 2021 5.0 Despite their short comings,I can tell you that sage 300 is the best management software out their with good value for money,and I highly recommend it for either large or small real estate or construction companies. 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 Review Source R Reviewer Controller, Human Resources Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Overall I would recommend this software." April 23, 2026 4.0 We've been using it for almost 20 years (formerly Timberline), so we're pretty comfortable with how the software works overall. Pros We use Sage 300 CRE, it's connectivity and customization capabilities are a major feature for us. I like how all the modules work together from project management all the way to financial reporting. Cons Human customer support is top notch, but, if the call is after hours or weekends, speaking with a human seems to no longer be an option and instead I'm forced to try and solve my issues with a useless AI bot. By the time I've contacted support, I've already tried to solve the issue six ways from Sunday as I am very familiar with how the software works, so a call is usually my last resort and going around in circles with AI doesn't do it for me, especially given we pay upwards of $15,000 for the gold tier support. We're considering downgrading from the gold tier to basic and just pay for support by the hour going forward since the convenience of any time support is gone and we don't call support enough to justify that price tag. Review Source R Reviewer Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Feature-Rich Software Suite Requiring a Lot of Training" March 31, 2026 3.0 As an estimating tool Sage offers up the accuracy needed to keep projects on budget. It is still very cluttered, requires a lot of ongoing training, and suffers from security risks being a remote only software. Pros The customer support with Sage is excellent which is important because you are going to need it. Sage handles estimate creation and quote management well with it's limitless customizable tools. Accounting and financial reporting are included with the suite as well. Cons Sage is very expensive to purchase and maintain a license. It is also not easy to set up or use without repeated yearly training. This is remote software, not a web-based platform nor a local software suite, so your information is accessed from an entirely different computer putting security into question. Review Source R Reviewer Bookkeeper Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Take the time to learn it, you won't regret it!!" April 22, 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 R Reviewer VP of Adminstration Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Cost reports are excellent" April 22, 2026 4.0 It is better than most but can use some improvement on payroll reports but for the price is very effective. Pros I have been using sage since the early 2000's. The software has evolved over the years and some things are better some are worse. It is great at job costing and the customizable reports help you get just what information you need easily. Customer support is always helpful and pleasant. Cons Certified payroll reports if you have any fringes are not worth processing. You have to create a different calculation for every employee for every payrate. When you have 50+ employees and they can work on 3-4 different positions and you have 6 wages scale jobs that is just too many calculations for 4-6 month projects. Review Source Leo D. Embedded software engineer test Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Great Functionality Once You Learn the System" March 13, 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 Frances G. Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Review of Sage" April 28, 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 R Reviewer Accounting Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy Reporting " April 22, 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 Lori B. Vice President Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Easy to use software" May 6, 2026 5.0 I have using sage 300 for almost 40 years. 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. Review Source R Reviewer Property Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Sage to Save the Day" April 28, 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 R Reviewer Vice President of Operations Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Sage 100 Contractor - Honest Feedback " August 18, 2021 3.0 It covers the basics of what we need, but really has not raised the level of service we are providing through technology. 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. Review Source R Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Office Manager" April 27, 2026 4.0 Overall using this is very easy which makes estimating a breeze. I like that you can use for multiple jobs at the same time. Pros This is a value added addition within the Sage Suite of options. I use it mostly for accessing and tracking the costs per individual job allocation Cons I think a more direct option, possibly using dropdown menu's, at the start of each initial job set up pertaining to account allocation would be useful. Review Source R Reviewer Sales and Marketing Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good starting point for software" May 10, 2026 4.0 I find myself mostly using the procurement tab to organize all my billings and projects. Overall there are some great aspects of the platform but I feel it could be modernized a bit. Pros I like the menu design when I first log in, and seeing everything at a glance. Having tasks to alert me to items pending or missed is also helpful. Cons We do not use the bidding platform portion because I find it "clunky" and not very user friendly. The interface looks old and outdated, and I find that other softwares have better tools available for the same price. Review Source R Reviewer Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Highly recommend " May 8, 2026 5.0 Overall very happy with the product. I had been using an older version of sage and happy to see it is very similar. Pros Ease of use and good customer service. A Great program. I have used one of your competitors and i do not find them as user friendly. Cons A little pricey for an annual subscription, particularly for a small business/sole proprietor without employees. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Direct Deposit " April 23, 2026 5.0 Very helpful in giving direction to solve my problem. Still have work to do. Would have liked for them to help a little more. The isolved agent we conferenced in was a little rude. Pros customer support was great. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with once transfered to the level 2. Cons The wait time to get someone on the phone was very long. The first person i spoke with was a little hard to understand.
