### "If you are a professional contractor, I highly recommend this product."

April 5, 2018

4.0

Pros

I love how easy and on point the setup process was. Also, I was able to figure out how to use it with very little help nor instruction. Was quite simple to navigate it and input information with no problems. Regular updates is also very attractive.

Cons

This application needs more notification in terms of licences. Support is very expensive and can be a bit annoying if you have no prior accounting experience. Great application non the less.

Best value for money if you are willing to put the time into setting it up.

Pros

Works with Quick Books, and has a good all around PM tools from estimating through to project completion.

Cons

New interface is a bit confusing, tried to be more friendly and pretty but actually made it more difficult to navigate.

### "We use SAGE for everything!"

February 12, 2019

4.0

SAGE is for all your needs!

Pros

We use SAGE for everything - accounting purposes, submittals, RFI's, ASI's. Drawing Log, Meeting Minutes. Literally can handle everything!

Cons

It has a tendency to run a little slow, it needs a fast internet network to run properly. It is slow when just using Wi-Fi

### "Review of Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate"

January 19, 2017

5.0

Our company has been using Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate since 2000. We like that the different applications work so well together and cover the needs of our business for Job Cost, Accounts Payable, Cash Management, Payroll, Inventory, Purchasing, Billing and Accounts Receivable, and General Ledger. There are other applications such as Estimating, Equipment, Contracts, Document Management, My Assistant, Report Designer, etc., that are available as well. It includes Security Administration so that tasks are allowed to certain users or certain roles. The Payroll can handle multiple states, unions and certified payroll. The applications are flexible and offer a variety of ways they can be setup so they may be customized to your business needs. The support is great and Sage continues to meet the changing needs of the times, such as the recent ACA reporting requirements and new operating systems.

Pros

We really like Report Designer which allows us to modify the "canned reports" or create our own reports in a format we'd like to see.

Cons

It's expensive to purchase, but over the long run, it's been worth it. Not crazy about Desktop.

### "Complicated set up with lack of flow."

November 3, 2016

3.0

Coming from Quickbooks this is a living nightmare. Simple items like the ability to print a deposit slip do not exist. While it allows for a breakdown to figure out your real per job/customer cost, the number of steps to get this data are time consuming and drawn out. You must have accounting knowledge to use this and plenty of time. Possibly designed for large companies that have dedicated people to perform each of these tasks. The service software is not bad and is one of the few that completely integrates the ticketing into the system as opposed to a separate app. It is currently not compatible with Microsoft Server 2016 and you must have Windows 2012R2 for the most recent version.

Pros

All your info in one place. Integrated software to take your project from takeoff estimate to Final billing. Plenty of forms can be set up including Notice to Owner, etc. Instant scheduling for techs a plus and the ability to bill as soon as they complete the job.

Cons

Price, both time and money. Everything must be customized. Very few standard forms/documents/report. Difficult to operate.

### "Life is getting so much easier"

October 30, 2019

5.0

Greater visibility to projects: what is out in change orders, costing is better, better control al across the board.

Pros

The longer we use this product, the easier work life becomes. We process our own payroll and Sage creates the file that uploads directly to our bank. A few clicks and boom...payroll is done! Sage also imports time from a time clock we use. It makes things much simpler than they have been in the past. Also, much greater visibility of actual project cost for us and for the PM's

Cons

I have had to train myself to not use my left hand because I am used to using the "tab" key to move forward. Sage uses the enter key

Reason for choosing Sage Construction Suite

A recommendation by our accountant

### "Have Used Sage For Over 20 Years"

October 6, 2017

5.0

Pros

It gives us the reports we need when analyzing jobs and cost. It allows us to do our own payroll/taxes and save the expense of outsourcing this to an accountant. We have used it for over 20 years and are very pleased with the recent upgrades to the operating system.

### "Great product - has a few kinks."

June 27, 2017

4.0

Pros

It is a functional costing system that allows multiple user interface with the security needed to protect your data from accidental or intentional changes.

Cons

The software is set up to have a "partner" company over you... this does not seem to work very well from our end.

### "I see Sage 100 Contractor as our last software purchase!"

July 10, 2014

4.5

Pros

We had grown out of QuickBooks and migrated to another software that we utilized for five years. We were extremely unhappy with the customer service and lack of features when we turned to Sage. We went live with Sage 100 on January 1 of this year. We have been quite impressed with the support and knowledge that comes with the product. I feel this will be the last software we will have to purchase. The way the software works and the constant upgrades that are provided will allow us to grow and stay with this software for the duration. This product will perform every task you need and give you 25 reports about it. We are very happy with the product.

Cons

I am somewhat put off by the fact that most of the tutorials that I see as really beneficial on the University site have a fee attached. I would like to see those as just part of the super product support the Sage offers. The yearly support fee is pretty hefty. It's not really much more than any other support fees really, but I was surprised and disappointed when I went to view the tutorials and all the ones I am interested in have an additional fee.

### "Great Construction accounting sotware"

December 28, 2017

5.0

It paid for itself quite quickly!

Pros

THis software is integrated to the tilt - which means we enter data once, and never again. The estimating module and the job costing are the main reasons why we love this software.

Cons

When you get started, you have to hire a great company to help you get started because theres lots of reports to set up and training in the new system takes getting used to.

### "Need PhD"

February 23, 2017

3.0

Pros

It was easy to install. And uninstall. I did like how it linked to the bank really easy. You can have separate access for your accountant or others in the office to use for estimated or invoices.

Cons

Support. Difficult to work in Hard to look at. I also did not like the constant alerts to update changes that were not important or could not be changed (IE penalties for late payment on CRA - always asked that it be corrected to match the amount to be paid and not balance with the penalty. Again, this could be because I am a novice using a professional system.)

### "Sage Review"

April 28, 2015

4.5

Pros

I like how the software is integrated and very user friendly. The reports you can create that are specific to your needs are extremely helpful and useful. when talking to anyone about the software we use, I would definitely recommend anyone in construction to sue Sage Software.

Cons

The support you get when I do have to call into the support center, they refer you to the web support every time. Obviously, it's something I have already done and is why I resorted to calling in. I hate having to call for any type of support because I know more then the support people do. Frustrating! I have worked with Sage/Timberline/Medallion for over 20 years!

### "Overall a good experience of the software. "

April 24, 2018

4.0

It's our prime operating software, so we function day to day and year to year.

Pros

The ease of navigating the menu's, the standard reports and the ability to create custom reports. The software is user friendly and easily able to identify where the user should look in each module to find applicable items for their role.

Cons

It appears to be like Microsoft Excel, but does not operate the same. There are many minor key functions or cell functions that would be helpful that are not available.

### "A Little Old School, but Headed In the Right Direction"

April 22, 2019

5.0

Very good product for larger construction companies. The accounting is such a life saver for tracking and pushing out invoices on time.

Pros

I like that it's built with actual contractors in mind. The flow of the product is set up to help you review and control your inventory well as you are making sure the invoices are being sent out properly.

Cons

If you don't have any training processes in place for your team to use this software to it's full advantage you could lose so much. Your estimators need to be fully trained on adjusting their bids and quotes before and after the job to make sure that the invoices match what's actually been used in the warehouse. The complexity of it does make it a challenge, but mastering it is worth the investment.

### "Window based software with specialized applications"

April 23, 2015

4.5

Pros

I like how the applications/modules are separate allowing for more detailed information within yet they communicate with one another. It allows to customize beyond belief from which modules post to one another (or simply tracking entries) to custom descriptions/fields. I like how the security features allow for you to grant an individual tasks or simply only reports/inquiries. I also love the built in report designer.

Cons

Often with upgrades there are features that were capable in the past but aren't available in the future. Also, some data is striped from application to application causing problems when trying to customize reports.

### "Best software change in the history of our business!"

April 28, 2017

5.0

I encountered one technical difficulty and was blown away by the customer service I received.

Pros

The best thing about Sage 100 contractor is the presentation of information. The reports look professional and it is awesome to be able to set invoice defaults. The support we have received from rep at Aktion and Associates has made our transition from QuickBooks to Sage possible and could not have done it without him!

Cons

I do not like the number of steps you have to go through in order to process payroll. I also have had issues with voiding transactions and locating transactions.

### "Sage 300 review for construction use"

February 8, 2019

5.0

I've enjoyed using it.

Pros

I like that there is tons of data you can view in many different ways. For example, the program allows you to filter down exactly what you are looking for.

Cons

This software does not seem to be very user friendly compared to other software. However, once you learn the ins and outs you get a hang of it.

### "Outdated Accounting Tool That Offers Little Over the Competition"

April 17, 2018

3.0

Pros

Support is somewhat helpful and their KB is extensive, which is good because you'll need to utilize it plenty.

Cons

Software is outdated, glitchy, finicky, and had to manage. The UI is a mish-mash of options that don't clearly define what they do. Database is required to reside on site so forget using it over a VPN.

### "Not my cup of tea. I found navigating difficult "

April 23, 2018

3.0

I liked that we were able to try it and it may work wonderfully for some but it was not for us. Glad we got to try it out first.

Pros

That all of our project info can be managed and viewed in one single location. That is a huge plus.

Cons

I find this lacking in the user friendly department. I also do not like the appearance. It looks "old" for lack of a better description. Like DOS based at times. I found the log view unappealing which made it hard for me to see what was open or closed. There are lots of functions but finding them was half of my issue. Training did not leave me warm and fuzzy. I wasnt able to get the support we would need so we did not move forward with the purchase. we went with another program

Sage needs to improve on the user interface and start to build cloud solutions for their core product.
