### "Solid Basic Software"

March 10, 2018

4.0

Great for a construction company that has basic needs above quickbooks but isn't ready to spend a lot of money

Pros

The software is pretty straight forward, not super complicated to deal with. As a smaller specialty subcontractor we used this and it did a great job helping us keep track of jobs, accounting, and payroll, while being able to still keep certain departmental costs split up to ensure profitability. The reporting was decently robust as well.

Cons

The software feels old and not up to par with current technologies. The database is a flat file (foxpro I believe) and although you can get data out of it via odbc connections, it leaves a lot to be desired vs a SQL database.

### "Sage Estimating - A Powerful Construction Estimating Package!"

February 14, 2015

4.5

Pros

There are many construction estimating software packages on the market, but none is better at breaking down an estimate in all the ways that are needed. Sage Estimating can handle multi-building estimates, multiple work breakdown structures, and any other bid breakdowns that are needed. For us, most bids require some sort of cost breakdown, but rarely is it completely the same from estimate to estimate. Sage Estimating handles all these variables with ease. Also, the ability to handle variable cost add-ons at the estimate "totals page" is a huge plus. Cost add-ons such as overtime hours or material cost escalations can be added via the database or on a estimate-by-estimate basis. When it comes to providing breakdowns to our GC clients, any cost add-ons can be spread throughout all or a few of the estimate items. This is a great feature. Sage has been a very good vendor. The support they've provided over many years has been great and they've done a great job with software upgrades. The upgrades, adding new features and feature enhancements have kept Sage Estimating at the head of the construction estimating pack.

Cons

I've used Sage (and previously Timberline) for nearly 20 years, and the only consistent gripe I have is that installation of the program is tedious and has always required the help of an IT expert.

### "robust application"

October 16, 2019

5.0

this is a cloud-based software program so you are able to access it across many platforms. the look and feel of the software is very modern and sleek and easy to navigate. Overall I would recommend it to those in this industry.

Pros

I really enjoy the fact that it is an all-inclusive application. From invoices & payments to human resources, payroll and more.

Cons

it can be a bit on the pricey end if you are not a major company with a major company sized budget. they also do not offer a free trial of the software so that is definitely a downfall if you are not 100% sure this is where you want to allocate your funds.

### "We've been using Sage over 15 years and really like it."

April 26, 2018

5.0

All of our business information in one software.

Pros

The software is capable of storing a lot of information for all aspects in construction. It's easy to maneuver around within the modules from anywhere in the software.

Cons

We have modified some reports and goes pretty smoothly once you have been working on them. It takes a little time to re-acquaint yourself on how to do it since we don't modify items that often. I don't like when there are some reports that you can't modify which we would like to.

### "Great system for construction. Efficient accounting software. Works great with Timberscan software. "

July 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Good accounting system to use in the construction industry. Accounts payables module is very efficient and ties in well with the General Ledger. Project management module is easy to use and to track commitments is a simple process

Cons

Occasionally we find certain functions that do not work well and have to contact Sage support. It is a little challenging when adjusting receivables especially when you have to void payments first and then later go back in and apply the payments again.

### "GL periods"

August 29, 2021

3.0

Cons

When a GL period (month) is closed, the system still allows Owner Invoices and Owner Change Orders to go through to the closed month. This is a major flaw. Please fix this.

### "Very satisfied with this software."

April 24, 2018

5.0

We were using 3 different systems for job management and reporting and now we only have to use this one.

Pros

It is easy to use. Comprehensive job costing, contracts, project recordkeeping and payroll. Easy to get reports and summaries.

Cons

Only issues that come to mind - and they are not big issues: 1) That dates and search criteria don't stay when you pick different reports to print within the same category. 2) When we enter checks - it no longer sends a reminder when the period doesn't match the date.

### "In-depth job cost reporting software"

April 15, 2019

5.0

We have been using Master Builder, now Sage 100 for 10+ years for all of our projects, would recommend for estimating, accounting, POs and subcontractor agreements and management.

Pros

Many customizable reports to easily fit your business model.

Cons

Not always easy to see what the back end of the software is doing when you create a post.

### "Not Worth It"

August 13, 2021

1.0

Horrible, very disappointed!

Pros

I could not tell you because we cannot get trained on it.

Cons

Absolutely NO support. You can book training in 2 months from the day you call. All anyone wants to do is get you to watch hours of video that do not provide the information I need. You can not call and ask any questions for support or set up.

### "Sage products are robust however the learning curve poses a barrier"

September 26, 2018

5.0

Too complicated for the average staffer

Pros

Extensive features make the program a powerful tool. The useful reporting features create shareable data

Cons

The program is extremely difficult to use. The training time required to bring staff to a point where they can produce makes it a very expensive tool

### "Sage/timberline user for over 20 years"

January 30, 2018

3.0

Timberline was a wonderful product. Sage isn't Timberline for sure.

Pros

All modules interact well. We have our entire system in balance at all times so that helps with all programs.

Cons

The yearly support costs are very high and you get very little for them now. Payroll now requires you to buy service through a third party person Sage picked and the third party vendor hasn't worked out the bugs. We have to pay for the support as well as the cost for Aatrix (Sage's pick. No input from us)

### "Sage 300 has some catching up to do...."

December 6, 2017

2.0

Pros

Ease of use, Sage 300 is very easy to use and understand. The desktop version has easy to use buttons that are very easy to know what they are going to do.

Cons

Very slow and gets bogged down very easily, reports run very slow. It gets worse the more people you have using the system.

### "Bid Grid no good"

October 27, 2020

4.0

Good.

Pros

The ability to make numerous alternates and locations.

Cons

The way Bid Grid works. There needs to be a way to add/remove items from the Bid Grid without having to start over every time. Very frustrating on bid day when you have multiple subs you have to re-enter. eTakeoff does not bridge to Estimating, concept of ding takeoff first before putting scope into estimate is backwards.

Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite

Value for the money.

### "17 Years and Still the Best Construction Software"

December 1, 2015

5.0

Pros

It tracks change orders to both owners and subcontractors very accurately. We often have several change orders on jobs. The software makes it easy to keep track of everything. I love the drill down feature. As a general contractor we have hundreds of cost codes per job. If I make a mistake (yes I am human and do make mistakes), I am able to find it quickly and drill down and fix it. The software helps me look perfect in the eyes of my bosses.

Cons

We recently starting using Procore and Sage 100 does not integrate. We chose to wait until Sage 100 integrated rather than switch software. I wish it would pull the cost code from the subcontract and not the vendor file. We often have a subcontractor do more than one cost code and it would be nice if it would pull the cost code from the subcontract set up and not the vendor file set up.

### "Not the best"

March 16, 2021

3.0

Pros

I like that this software interfaces with other software programs like Paperless and Procore.

Cons

The reporting is terrible. Everything costs extra. It is not user friendly. The support is often unhelpful. There are too many behind the scenes settings that make tasks difficult to complete.

### "Okay Software; Needs Improvement"

October 6, 2017

3.0

Pros

Availability of Reports. V20 much better than previous versions. Has more capability than most users will ever need.

Cons

The fact that users are forced to pay for high end support because the software is what I can only assume is intentionally difficult to use. Additionally, we have too many instances to count where our software became corrupt. One such instance required recreating thousands of items back into the software. Reports are difficult to setup or modify.

### "Hard program to self teach, thank goodness we have gold level support. Knowledgebase has improved."

April 30, 2018

5.0

Ability to handle multiple companies with part time hours. Currently on the road to paperless.

Pros

Ability to drill down for detail. Ability to find help in several different places IE Sage City, knowledge bases, help menu, customer support, Sage University.

Cons

Sage University is too pricey. There should be more free classes. Now they are only for the new features or modules. Frequently I have to wait for a level 2 to answer questions; however I've been using the software for 13 years!

### "I almost did not get hired as I had no experience w/ Sage software. "

May 8, 2018

5.0

Unlimited. Could not run the business without it. Keeps billing correct. Records for job costing, budgeting, AR, AP, ...... all of it. It's easy & accurate. It's very easy & very accurate.

Pros

Easy to use. Taught myself. It works. Has a lot of power! However a smaller company only needs to use as much of it as they want. Choose as much or as little as you desire.

Cons

The support. In the rare (maybe once a year) event I have to ask a question, they do not answer the phone. I can never get on the portal.
