### "Been a happy user for 17 years"

July 30, 2015

5.0

Pros

We have 5 construction companies that share employees and overhead. The software makes the intercompany accounting virtually seamless. The support you receive with Sage is awesome. I always get to talk to a person quickly, and they are all knowledgeable and can help me, or can get me to someone who can help me, and quick! I love that I can dump almost anything from Sage directly into Excel with just a click.

Cons

I wish the reports were easier to customize. This issue may be that I have not spent a lot of time using the report designer and should.

### "Day to Day Estimating"

December 11, 2020

5.0

You relay on the estimate that you have built for the beginning to the end. It helps you on ordering material and trading out with other trades.

Pros

The work packages is most useful to me. The quick Takeoff and Assembly.

Cons

I have been using sage estimating about 22 years. So when I started my new company I had to buy the newer version program that was as close to the old program that i had before. So it has been a learning curve to get use to the newer version. Just finding where line items are. Also so line item are in different division than what I use to. Such as fine grade is in earth work, I like it in Division three for the slab. It easy to put it in three, it just takes time to get it built like you want. Over time this will happen.

### "Difficult to learn and awkward to use"

August 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

It has pretty much everything that you need for accounting and project management in it. it's easy to make and customize reports as an admin and easy to use them as an end user.

Cons

Server side is pretty complicated to learn. Huge learning curve due to the massiveness of the program.

### "New to Sage"

May 14, 2019

4.0

Pros

I've been an Oracle super user for the last 5 years and just recently switched companies and started using Sage 100. If you are familiar with Oracle, you will catch on to Sage 100 quickly. There are some features that i like better than Oracle, like their AP/PO interface and report writing functionality through Crystal Reports.

Cons

Sage 100 does not work well over Wi-Fi which is a big problem. It works, but is very slow to load the different modules. It also struggles to work remotely and I had to have users RDP into a desktop setup in the office that is hard wired in so they could continue to use Sage when offsite.

### "Overall a solid product"

May 20, 2016

4.5

Pros

Lots of configuration options, very customizable to each company's process.

Cons

Some modules don't get any improvements. SM, for example, was a third party product that had some integration coded in, but it really has not gotten any improvements over the years, and it definitely could use them. Even some of the built in functionality really doesn't work as it is written now. DM is another module. We just dropped it, as they are now apparently replacing it with something else, which means it's not going to get any enhancements going forward.

### "Easy to use and easy to navigate the software"

July 20, 2018

5.0

Pros

Navigation is simple and easy to learn. Most can be up and running in a short amount of time. There are frequent updates that keep the software running and several enhancements as well.

Cons

The reports should offer more customization. The accounting side should have more capability to customize and do more analysis.

### "Sage (Master Builder) user for 20 years"

January 22, 2015

4.5

Pros

This software has been the most helpful office tool I could ever have used. It organizes every bit of information I need. For the twenty years I've been using this program, I've never once had an issue that I didn't receive help with from the support staff. Even when the company has changed, the support for this software never waivers. I like how with just a few clicks, I can get reports on any criteria I need. I can present information in many different formats depending on what our builder needs to know at any given time.

Cons

I would like to be able to email invoices to my clients straight from the program. If that function is available, I'm just not aware of it. I get a lot of emails from Sage and a lot of information about online classes, but I'm too busy to read through everything. It would be nice to just get one simple email a month with helpful hints to improve how I utilize and use the program. I could skim through it and see if anything applies to my usage needs. That would be nice.

### "I began using this product almost 16 years ago at another company."

December 1, 2015

4.5

Pros

I really like how you can customize so many aspects of the program. Both screens for entering data and reports. Sage is great to work with, especially their help desk. The best support that I have ever experienced!

Cons

I do feel that the yearly maintenance costs are a bit high, especially for smaller companies. Also, I have had co-workers tell me that they find this product to be a bit "user unfriendly" at times. Also, there are some issues that were supposed to be fixed years ago but never were. Minor issues, but annoying ones.

### "Don't upgrade to 20.4!!!!"

April 17, 2017

3.0

Very disappointed in Sage support.

Pros

The interface between payroll, accounting, job costing has always been great. The start screen is very easy to read.

Cons

We have upgraded our server as advised by Sage, at a great expense and the software to 20.4. Now it is not completely operational. We cannot get Aatrix to work and the accounting link to our 3rd party vendor for our service department does not work now either. We have been working with Sage support and our very expensive IT guy for over 3 weeks and Sage support cannot find the problem.

I've been using Sage 100 Contractor (formerly Sage Master Builder, formerly Intuit Master Builder) since 2004. I was impressed from day one. This software is seamless and effortless. Job costing is a breeze and extremely accurate. We are a specialty contractor, who sometimes works as a general contractor. Master Builder makes project management easy. It has a very user friendly subcontract module, which assists in verifying insurance, and licenses are current for all subcontractors. The payroll module makes certified payroll a snap and allows for multiple pay rates and cost codes without hassles. It is friendly to both union and non-union contractors. It comes with what seems to be over 900 canned reports, many of which can be customized to fit your needs. But the best part is the customer support. Sage offers both free and paid online training and your company's advisor will, at times, offer local seminars to spotlight areas of training. This software can be used from bidding all the way to the end of a project. And each project flows in and out of each module (i.e. estimating, payroll, purchase orders) throughout the life of the job. I would highly recommend Sage 100 Contractor for anyone who is looking for a better way. Hands down, the best on the market.

November 30, 2012

3.0

I have been using Master Builder since 1991. It has seen many changes over the years, some good and some bad. The latest release (18) in my opinion is the least user friendly. The data entry screens between modules (such as A/R and A/P) are inconsistent unlike previous versions. The appearance cannot be changed and now looks like a cartoon. The functionality hasn't changed much and still performs all necessary accounting tasks. I personally like the job costing and payroll reports and their layouts. G/L reporting suits my needs. I do not like Aatrix for reporting W-2's, 941, etc. Annual support has become cost prohibitive. I do not use tech support and in an effort to save costs on annual "maintenance" I dropped to one seat and silver level support which only includes program and tax updates. If Sage makes changes to the software, you must upgrade to the current version for tax updates to work, so you are stuck paying and upgrading each year unless you want to do manual calculations for federal income tax. Other payroll calculations can be changed manually. While the software is adequate, and I've been using it for a long time, the constant changes (requiring expense and time for training) and expensive annual costs are making me consider different software.

### "Great software for estimating"

November 14, 2017

5.0

Pros

I like that it lets us build a database to use when putting together estimates. I work for a design build and it is very helpful in my line of work.

Cons

The thing I like least is probably an error on my company's end... my program will auto quit when the software doesn't have internet access...

July 29, 2015

4.5

Pros

The software is easy to learn and use. Help line is excellent. Calls are answered right away and tech help is very knowledgeable. usually issues are solved in one call. Plenty of add-ons to assist with almost any situation.

Cons

Reporting has been as issue, BUT mostly because I didn't have a report writer and was trying to use canned reports with the exception of a few custom reports that were created before I took over. With either Crystal Reports or Report Writer you can get pretty much anything you need.

### "The Cadillac of Construction Accounting Software"

May 31, 2016

4.5

Pros

The customer support is hands down the best experience you can have even if you are setting up databases or reconfiguring old ones, or need a simple solution for an issue.

Cons

Sage has gotten better over the last few years with the easy of export functions into excel, but this was previously one of the issues I did not like. It is still very difficult to build reports that cross reference transaction files from different modules. I would like to see a less complicated way to build reports within the software.

### "Good entry level accounting system "

November 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

The system has good accounting and controlling functionality, and it’s reporting delivery features makes it easy to share information with stakeholders.

Cons

Current SQL version is a little bit complicated to get installed by a normal user with little IT background. A more detailed installation manual could be useful.

### "User Friendly Software "

August 17, 2015

5.0

Pros

I like the security that Sage offers as well as being able to export to Excel.

Cons

The inability to print financial or payroll reports outside the calendar year. For example: my workers comp policy runs from June - June. I have to go into the previous year and print from June - Dec; then in the current year I print from Jan - May. If I do not close out my books I can print my reports within the same company file, but if I have closed my books for the year I have to print from 2 different company files.

Pros

Sage 300 is an amazing tool if you are a medium to large company, their customer service team is hands down amazing as well.

September 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

It was dependable. I could always pull it up and liked the way I was able to extract data. It was easy to synchronize with other systems.

Cons

I did not like that customer support took hours out of your day. It was an old school system that had minimum character limits.

### "CFO's Recommendation for a Comprehensive Accounting System"

August 12, 2015

4.0

Pros

Versatility and stability. It does almost every thing we need and we are not even utilizing 25% of its capacity. Whenever we have come up with a new need, we have been able to utilize the system a little bit differently to accomplish our goal. I have had to tweak the Billing module in many ways, but have always been able to get our complex invoices out in a format our clients like.

Cons

There is no HR functions in the P/R module forcing us to use ABRA and a third party (BAS) conversion of data.
