### "Pretty easy with some practice"

September 12, 2017

4.0

I liked it, once I became familiar with the program and researched some of the features I was quite impressed with the overall function.

Pros

It has several great functions and features, and once you have a little experience with the software it actually becomes a fairly multifaceted resource for our operation.

Cons

The interface has some issues as far as multi-window operations. It will only allow you to access one window at a time which can sometimes hinder your performance if you need to fact check or reference other details.

### "Ageing system"

June 15, 2018

3.0

Needs an update to remain relevant.

Pros

Rock solid accounting package that does a very good job at the basic functions. Uses a grid data entry method witch works well for keyboard data entry.

Cons

Has not kept up with current technology and is behind in the features department. Sage has opted to add through third parties rather than integrate features.

### "Problems after conversion"

June 8, 2017

3.0

Pros

Much the same as old program just not as good. Support is still good and we have needed it with this program

Cons

Version 20 has lots of problems that I do not like that did not happen in Version 19 (before Conversion). Payroll especially has issues that I have reported several months ago and I do not see that they have been addressed.

### "Powerful Software for Construction Companies"

July 29, 2015

4.0

Pros

The software can pretty much handle any situation you can think of with construction accounting from certified payrolls to joint checks and lien releases. Tax updates are done timely for payroll. We also use contract billings with AIA documents.

Cons

reports are NOT user-friendly - most of the time, we must use conditions and/or ranges to get what we need - we have tried several times to get our PM's to run their own reports but they are too complicated. I bought the Report Writer - but again, not easy to use and I simply don't have time to set up new reports and teach others how to use them. Also it waste ALOT of paper - the whole report-writing functions just need to be updated - in every single module.

### "not user friendly"

July 18, 2017

Job costing

Pros

This product is great for Job cost analysis. Product allows you to get detailed information on each job/project if set up correctly.

Cons

Compared to Quickbooks this product is not user friendly. Standard reports are not built in. We spent alot of time and money to create standard reports that Quickbooks offers for free.

### "Very capable software"

October 5, 2017

5.0

Overall this software has given us everything we need.

Pros

It is very versatile. We were able to train ourselves on modules that we never used by using the knowledgebase and user group website so I would say it is fairly user friendly.

Cons

Accounts Receivable reports still need work. You can run 3 different reports and get 3 different answers.

### "Lots of function, not user friendly"

February 23, 2017

4.0

Pros

Attractive presentation, icons, etc. Not too many updates to make the software confusing, once you learn how to do things, they pretty much stay where they've always been.

Cons

Can be pricey depending on the type of package purchased, number of users or version of software. Not as user-friendly as some other software out there.

### "Sage100"

April 12, 2017

3.0

Pros

The cost is amazing! So cost efficient for smaller companies not generating much revenue. The software is pretty basic in terms of functionality..

Cons

I believe that this software was the best in the early 2000's but as the times have gone not many updates have been made to update the look and functionality of this program.

### "Powerful software but sharing of communication and training lacking"

April 12, 2017

4.0

It is critical to align with a consultant who is responsive and knowledgeable.

Pros

Backed by a large company. Option for multiple third party add-ons. Software that grows with you. Multiple modules to choose from.

Cons

Trying to learn this software without the support of a consultant is daunting. The help center is not very helpful.

### "Good Product - Basics are covered and constantly trying to improve"

January 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

The payroll and accounting end of things work well - tax updates etc. all run smooth. Forces you to make certain entries balance etc.

Cons

Set up of jobs is a bit tricky and not done often enough that you remember how each time. Creating custom reports is difficult and system is a little lacking in auto reports.

### "Have used Sage(Timberline) for 25 years and it has been great."

April 24, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease of all the modules to use. The interaction of the modules makes costing of jobs and printing financials at month effortless. The customer support for the software is very good.

Cons

Would like to see the software update process streamlined. The process is not terrible but would like it to be simpler.

### "Sage 300 may be good but Timberline Yikes"

November 14, 2018

3.0

Pros

I guess when the software is finally set up properly it does run properly and it does what you need it to be but that's when it's up. Not super expensive so that is a huge plus for a software that will function as you want just with some hiccups.

Cons

It goes down alot. Little updates to your server can throw this software for a loop. It's does not like shiny and new it wants to stay in the past and not with today's times.

### "Sage 300 Realestate and Construction"

November 17, 2016

I have used this product for 4 years and learn something new all the time. I am constantly amazed at what this product can do. The reporting and ease of use is great and customer service support is the best. Highly reccomend for payroll and accounts payable.

Pros

ease of use and flexablility.

Cons

It is a US based software that needs to be more adaptable to Canadian terms.

### "Good Construction Software."

April 24, 2018

4.0

It presently provides enough reports for us to analyze our business and our costs.

Pros

Solid programs & periodic updates. Good customer support on basic issues. Support contracts are reasonably priced.

Cons

Needs lots of customization which requires a lot of outside vendor help. This causes the total cost of ownership to be high.

### "Sage 300 has served our needs with their selection of reports and access to our HRIS. "

August 8, 2017

3.0

Pros

Navigating the user interface is fairly straight forward once you get used to the layout, which allows for easy access in creating reports.

Cons

While the user interface is fairly straight forward, the appearance and functionality of the software is fairly dated compared to other current software's.

### "A Well-Organised Estimating Software "

July 11, 2018

4.0

Pros

Sage (Timberline) has been used for building industry primarily. You can use the advantage of their database or set up your own one based on the industry and market you are involved in. I recommend the software for Mid to Large Size building projects including residential or ICI.

Cons

The software is not user-friendly for heavy-civil or infrastructure projects as the functionality of crew cost method is not as easy as other heavy civil software.

### "User Friendly SAGE"

April 13, 2017

5.0

Started working at this company and was given little training. I was able to maintain around easily in the SAGE and before I new it, I was closing projects out and cleaning up open payables. SAGE is user friendly.

Pros

What I like best about the software is it is easy to get around in and user friendly.

Cons

The AR needs to be improved, an AR report shouldn't take hours to run. I have to run the report before I leave at night and still have to wait in the morning for my report to actually print.
