### "Disappointed"

March 16, 2021

4.0

Pros

Not sure. We're still learning this program.

Cons

There are a lot steps back and forth to perform a function. Also, the reports offered are not always what is needed and some of the tax reports don't mesh with AAtrix. Not user freiendly.

Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite

### "From a user for 20+ yrs"

May 17, 2021

4.0

Pros

I like the audit trail and that you can tell who did the entries

Cons

The payroll calculation set up is confusing for new calculations (subject to section). It would be much easier if it asked “is this a pre tax calculation or post tax”.

### "Sage 300 CRE"

September 21, 2017

5.0

Again, Sage Customer Support can not be beat with their knowledge and professionalism to their clients.

Pros

Our company specializing in millwright, rigging and custom metal fabrication and Sage 300 CRE helps our company with certified payroll, union payroll and dues, job costing, purchase orders and subcontractor tracking. Also account payable and accounts receivable modules are easy to use, and it really helps us to streamline our operation. Sage Customer Support are most wonderful people to help solve issues you might have with financials or with a payroll.

Cons

The only con with Sage 300 CRE - it will take time to be trained all the modules this software has to offer. If you make a mistake my advice is to look at Sage Knowledge Base for answers or call Sage Support Team to make an appointment to help resolved the issue. You have to be very careful and pay very close attention with accounting dates and closed months with this software.

### "Great Software!"

March 27, 2019

5.0

I have had a great experience throughout my career and I love that when the database is built, it is so easy to use.

Pros

I like the fact that you can build databases in it, to use for future projects. It really makes the ease of use, better! It also can talk to the accounting side if you have that option.

Cons

I thought building the data base is the hard part, however that is all.

### "MAS is functional"

April 16, 2018

4.0

I worked on this system for years and I would recommend it, but fix the flaws.

Pros

I can jump from module to module within this system. Everything is cohesive. All of the information is updated in real time from screen to screen. This is great for project management.

Cons

I would like to see the finance side a bit more structured. The reports are small and hard to read. Error messages should allow you to halt and not move forward. But some of them allow an update prior to the error message which makes for more work. The system needs to flow better.

### "Hottest Estimating Software on the Market!"

July 14, 2017

5.0

This is probably the most flexible estimating software available today. Always a leader in the industry, Sage Estimating can fit the bill for entry level, single user needs and expand to an unlimited number of users. The estimating system can tie into one of the best accounting packages, as well.

Pros

Totally flexible - can be used by virtually any trade as well as GC. From basic estimating needs to a complex reporting system, this software can do it.

Cons

Takes time to set-up properly. The software is ready to go out of the box, but to fine tune to make it "hum" takes more than just starting it up.

### "Bang up Piece of Software"

January 9, 2020

5.0

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to take their accounting system to the next level

Pros

I would highly recommend this software for any large sized (5 million and above) construction business. It tracks your fixed assets, as well has a variety of other strong accounting functions.

Cons

This isn't exactly the most user friendly software, and alot of the times it will be people switching from Quickbooks to this software. It may have a steep learning curve.

### "Sage for Construction"

March 16, 2021

3.0

Pros

We are switching to another software that is more user friendly.

Cons

Very difficult to talk to a real person when you have an issue. i can't customize things like the income statement and how it looks or consolidate some accounts.

### "Sage Estimating has made our Estimating department more effecient"

August 16, 2021

4.0

It has been great. We have simply had to tell them what we needed and they make it happen. Support is always there. It is a great program.

Pros

I like the ease of use of all the programs. It is easy to learn. Easy to use.

Cons

The built in reports didn't really fit our company. We had to customized all of the reports.

### "OK for industry"

August 8, 2017

3.0

It helps us do the accounting for our company.

Pros

The software is fairly good to use and gives very good reporting data to manage a business.

Cons

It is not web-based and can be very finnicky. The PO module is ridiculously bad and has several issues that still need to be fixed. You need to buy many add-ons to make it work the way you want it to.

### "Ease of use"

May 18, 2021

4.0

Pros

I liked how easy it was to learn as I had worked in Great Plains previosuly.

Cons

I think it needs to have more ways to pull information in all areas. For instance in payroll to be able to search for employee by Social

### "Responsible for original setup and training of employees."

May 1, 2015

4.5

Pros

Support is great. Every problem I've had they have been able to walk me through the steps to fix. The integration of all the modules eliminates duplicate entry (except as detailed below). Ability to customize fields and use the Desktop to customize My Tasks.

Cons

Some areas need definite improvement - Address Book! No easy way to access or send emails to groups. Address Explorer (an Add-on) helps connect to Outlook, but lots of room for improvement. Sage Construction Anywhere should connect to Address Book. You have to manually add contacts to the companies to be able to give them access to the software, even though they are already set up in Sage Address Book. Some fields are too short to enter all the information needed. Flexibility with documents - Most are created in Crystal and hard to customize. Hopefully the new Word Integration program in development will solve this problem.

### "Sage 300 Review"

February 1, 2017

5.0

Coming from Simply and QuickBooks this software take you way beyond their functionality. Highly recommend for any construction companies to take this software on as it really goes above and beyond allowing you to track multiple projects, invoice using different products. The app entry allows such variations including Manual Cheque, E-transfers, Credit Card (entry by a vendor) and regular cheque runs. As a company we want to streamline double payments and this system allows us to catch many duplicate submissions. I can't say enough of how happy I am that it integrates with Excel and if you don't want to invest in excel custom reports if your accountant uses ODBC at all they can extract the information easily.

Pros

AP system (easy of entry, avoid duplicates Job Cost (track multiple projects, ensure they are invoiced, reports by vendor, by code) Cash Management System(reconcile your statements so easily, transfers between companies are so simplified, make an entry on the fly) GL (reports ...allow you to analyze your accounts)

Cons

Financial Reporting (out of the box reports are functional but not friendly to them eye comparable to simply/QuickBooks) but they do the job but would be nice to have better out of the box reports. That being said you can also order customer reports if that is what you are looking for.

### "Use When Tracking Job Cost"

March 16, 2021

Pros

The best feature of this product is the job cost module.

Cons

Not efficient when setting up new accounts, job costs, cash accounts. The cash management module makes it hard to record one disbursement to two accounts.

### "Sage 300"

April 17, 2019

4.0

This software is very different from Sage 100, after some training and use I have found it to be a reliable useful software.

Pros

This software has a lot of options. There is a wide variety of reports that can be ran with a multitude of information. The software integrates with our project management software making it much easier to streamline the processes.

Cons

The many options this software offers is often hard to find. From the main menu opens a secondary menu which often opens into a third menu.

### "Sage products are well know in the Construction and now in Real Estate "

May 15, 2018

5.0

Pros

It is nice to know the features of Sage for construction ( schedule, purchasing, accounting, etc.). Great to tie in real estate (options, move in schedule, etc.)

Cons

Sage can be a bit complicated to learn, but use their customer service and be patient. Sage is a powerful company

### "Sage 100 Contractor has been a great asset to our company."

April 27, 2015

4.5

Pros

Sage 100 Contractor provides a broad range of reporting and tracking options, but is affordably priced. Our company is able to utilize the software to complete payroll, budgeting, job cost tracking, equipment management, and billing. We could also easily add Timberline if the need arises and that would expand our ability to integrate estimating into our accounting system. It is also flexible enough that we are able to use it to manage the accounting for small side companies that we have formed.

Cons

While Sage 100 Contractor is fairly intuitive and easy to learn and navigate overall, there are nuances that can be confusing. Sage support staff is knowledgeable and helpful, but you may have to pay for that as part of your service package. An alternative is their online knowledge base. It is expansive, but it is not always helpful in providing simple, relative information to your query.

### "Brick Wall"

June 20, 2018

1.0

It takes a lot for me to give a bad review for anyone, so this is how far I've been pushed. We've had this program for over a year and we all wish we had gone with a different one!

Pros

I think it could be a good product but no one will get you past basic training unless you pay a ton of money to get it.

Cons

Everything is a fight to get where and what you need. Things that should be basic construction billing, service, payroll etc are impossible to find. If you want help, forget it. You can "live chat" after being on the wait list for hours, or put in a service ticket only to be told to take their classes. No immediate help, Also you have to go through a "Sage re-seller" to get Sage in the first place.
