The software offered all the functionality that was needed to the team. Pros What I liked best about Sage 100 was the value and the support offered. The software met all my reporting needs. Cons What I liked least about Sage 100 was that it did not offer an cloud based services for remote access for myself and the team.

Switched from [Quicken](https://www.capterra.com/p/151854/Quicken/) Sage 100 offered more functionality than we were getting with prior software. Review Source BS Belinda S.

I have experience with many other programs and this one is not too hard and not too easy. Set up of Vendor/Clients is easy. The transaction windows are easy to use.Training someone knew is not to hard. Pros The ability to control your transaction number. This is huge because I can know instantly what type of transaction I am looking at based on the number sequence. Secondly, is the dynamic ability to make changes and corrections. Very easy. Customer Support is readily available and the new IA interface isn't too bad. Secondary level support usually answers quickly. LOVE the fact we can add our pdf's/Excel directly into the program and very easily transfer to Excel or Word for further working. The budget process through to progress billings is a good and efficient process for our Project Managers and Accounting Teams. Cons Limiting the users from accessing modules can be time consuming. Setting up templates per module also has to be done per user. The upgrade of the program is times consuming when we have to do them. It is based on the size of your files but I can take 2 hours just for the first step in the process because our file is large. The time and material billing section needs work and we don't utilize it because it isn't efficient. Alternatives considered [Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 more customizable ability and greater ease withing the budgeting/billing modules Review Source ER Erin R. Director of Finance Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Needs work for manufacturing companies" May 29, 2026 3.0 Discrepancies between IC\_Item quantity and IM\_Item Cost quantity; work tickets crash TOO OFTEN causing incorrect GL entries; lacks visibility into previous Inventory Transactions (transfers, adjustments, issues); some posting reports are not retrievable if you do not print it right away; PV entries do not always post accurately, requiring us to continually manually reconcile by transaction (this is one of the reports that we cannot retrieve if it is not saved at the time of posting, causing lots of frustration). Years ago we added on Scanco Multibin because we needed this functionality and Sage did not have it. Now there are MANY flaws causing us hundreds hours of work to fix because of errors in expiration dates and quantities in Multibin vs Sage. Pros It's better than Quickbooks. It has importing functionality; Bills of Materials; ability for Production work orders. Cons Reporting lacks adequate options for exporting to Excel to review and analyze data. Upgrades require too much labor - requiring install on new server and data transfer. Sage did not work with third parties (Scanco) to make sure that their products still worked in the upgrade (Production Management). Review Source MF Megan F. Account Receivable and Accounts Payable Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100 Contractor" May 27, 2026 4.0 Sage is a wonderful program for those who need to do perform accounting and project tracking. It is mostly easy to use, though it does need help with setup and reports. Pros How the Project Management part of the system integrates into the Accounting part of the system. It gives to the freedom of being as detailed as you need with tracking your projects. While simplifying your accounting. Cons The system can be rigid when it comes to making mistakes. Some small issues can blow up into big ones without much effort on the part of the user. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Could not provide the level of job reporting that was needed Review Source PKG P K G. accounting Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "accounting" May 20, 2026 4.0 While our small company bought Sage 100 (and it was more complicated than what we actually needed at the time plus we struggled through training), it has proved to be a very dependable product even with the age of it. Pros The option I liked most is the depth of information that can be entered into Sage for customers and vendors that make it easy access for reporting. Customer and vendor memos and contacts and important details easily accessible and quick referencing. Cons The least favorable thing about Sage 100 is encountered with different user's abilities and lack of knowledge resulting in errors hampering complete accurate reporting. Switched from [Homebase](https://www.capterra.com/p/153076/Homebase/) Our old system could no longer keep up with the volume of business. Review Source GE Gerry E. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Versatile and complete" May 25, 2026 5.0 Been positive, no reason to consider switching to a different software package. They've been responsive on payroll changes and updates and generally maintain a solid product. Pros Versatile and robust. Also has lots of partner developers that integrate with it. Don't use the cloud version, not ready for that. But they maintain a commitment to their desktop version. Security can be custom assigned by user/module/company. Cons We still do a lot of tracking via Excel. Sage has a database connector for Excel, but I've found it cumbersome so far. They do integrate with Crystal Reports for report generation, but I am more proficient with Excel.

Owner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage Software" May 15, 2026 5.0 Used it for 24 yrs, that speaks for itself! We love this software for our accounting and payroll. We trust it. Pros Solid Accounting Software and we can project our project’s performance. That is critical to meeting our needs. Cons Wish you scheduling module was more user friendly, we currently use Buildertrend and like the client interface and flexibility. Wish Sage had similar capabilities. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Not powerful enough and poor at budgeting and projecting projects. Review Source AM Amy M. Office Administrator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Office Administrator" May 15, 2026 4.0 Overall, Sage 100 has been easy to use. I had to learn it without any formal training and have found it quite user friendly and easy to navigate. Pros I like the addition of some advanced reporting options that help with tracking job costs & productivity much more efficiently. Cons However, there were some reports in Sage 50 that are not available in Sage 100 and we miss those, as they were also beneficial and helpful in our business practices. Switched from [Sage 50 Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/174753/Sage-50cloud/) We switched for the benefit of some better reporting options and a little more detailed information on tracking jobs. Review Source SC Shane C. Manager Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fairly easy to use once you know how!" May 19, 2026 4.0 Overall I would say it is satisfactory. It is easy to use once you know how and does what it needs to. Sage is probably the go to in that sense and once you know how to use Sage you can use any of them. Pros Once you learn it, it is relatively easy to use. It's used by most accountants and integrates with most software. Cons The UI looks quite dated and they should have a true cloud based version so you can use it anywhere.

Finance Director Textiles Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Personal review of Sage 100" May 20, 2026 5.0 Overall experience is good. Trying to get others on board to using the program property. Setting up job costing would be a huge benefit. Pros The power the program has. Great for job costing, inventory management when used properly. I wish we used more of the program. Cons Accounting side can be difficult to use. However, I like that people cannot go into the system and change important things like invoices an GL entries just by clicking on them Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 Easy for accounting and finance management Review Source JC Jerry C. Edcuator E-Learning Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Education Using Sage 100" January 20, 2026 5.0 I started using Simply Accounting over 20 years ago in my accounting courses. It has now evolved into Sage 50 and into Sage 100. This program still out does the accounting principles of other programs. Thank you Sage! Pros Sage 100 uses GAAP, generally accepted accounting principles, in every small business this is a must use tool. Sage has provided the program to the school system as educational partners. I know several past students who now use Sage in their daily lives because they learned the program in high school Cons Sometimes the program is difficult to install in a school setting in our lab environment. With that being said I fully understanding the licensing is a difficult thing to keep track digitally. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 Sage 100, at that time was Simply Accounting had an Educational Partner program. Review Source NA Nicole A. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Don't waste your money and time" July 31, 2025 1.0 Pros The accounting reports. AP and AR are easy to use. Cons Don't get involved with this company. They are horrible. $1,200 per year for customer support and they don't even have a phone number to call. You chat online with someone, they send you articles from Google and tell you to figure out the issues with THEIR software yourself Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Sales representatives convinced us that their program was better Review Source PG Paul G. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Poor Customer Service and Software" February 26, 2025 1.0 Overall Poor upgrade from Sage 50 Accounting. Little to no support from customer service (usually just told to look in the knowledge base). At one point we stated to pay for outside help. There are much better options out there. Pros We used the contractor version of Sage 100. It was a nice all in one solution with everything in one place. Invoicing was pretty simple for our accounting to use. Cons Mobile app didn't do anything, it was extremely basic. Taxes were not actually calculated on employees pay (it still calculated it but didn't actually track it, just stopped at one point but only for a few and it wasn't caught), estimating module could use a lot of work to update it. Switched from [Sage 50 Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/174753/Sage-50cloud/) It was offered as an upgrade to the company from sage 50 to sage 100 contracting as an all in one solution.

CDO Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100 - A finance and operations champion " April 30, 2026 4.0 Sage 100 has been an excellent choice as the business has been using it for over 15 years. Regular product releases keep the software up to date and contributed to its capabilities. Pros I love the extensive capabilities of the system for not only the financial functions, but also for the robust operational capabilities that are present. I especially like the production management and inventory planning capabilities Cons I would like to see the coming AI enhancements to come quicker to allow for more insights to be gained from the extensive data that is in the system.

It is a great software & I would love to see it go cloud based. Pros Sage 100 software is intuitive, easy to use & customizable with extended solutions. I also appreciate that clients can purchase only the modules they need. Cons Sometimes difficult to get assistance from 3rd party vendors. It is uncomfortable when I am not able to assist my clients in a timely fashion. Review Source kH kim H. Office Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple but expensive now" May 21, 2026 4.0 ok Pros simple. Cons too expensive now. More benefits have been added that we do not use or do not need yet have to pay for in the monthly cost. Consideration should be given to a tiered system, if you use the basic package, then payment for basic package etc, if you use the full range of facilities then I would expect to pay more. Review Source BR Bradley R. Group Financial Controller Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sage 100 for SME Review" January 8, 2026 4.0 Overall it has been a solid and cost effective software for my business. The function is dependable but takes some time to learn the different functions. Pros Sage 100 offers strong value for money for SMEs. The financial modules are reliable and can maintain small multi entity Groups for a good cost. Reporting is flexible enough for month end reporting requirements and the system is stable and consistent. Cons The main cons with Sage 100 relate to usability and customer support. The user interface feels dated which as a first time user meant that it took longer to learn than accounting software's I have used in the past. The customer support response times can also be inconsistent. Review Source AE Angela E.

Staff Accountant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sage 50 - infinity(Intacct)" April 28, 2026 5.0 Great, but looking forward to learning Sage Intacct. I have used Sage 50, Sage 100 and we just signed on for Sage Intacct. Pros Financials reporting worked well. I liked that everything was permanent once posting versus Sage 50 where you can change transactions. Cons Bank Reconciliation platform was not as user friendly as newer platforms. A few specialty things to know to clear “stuck” transactions from cache. Review Source DM Dave M. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage Review" May 20, 2026 5.0 Pros User friendly, easy to navigate. I do not use Sage very often. I might use it once or twice a year. I am not part of the office admin team. Review Source OL OLIVIER L. Project Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Obsolete Software only for small businesses" January 13, 2025 3.0 Pros Can do a lot. Personal c# developpement possible with Objets Metier. Cons Obsolete softaware in many features . For example , the length of fileds is very short (a serail number with only 31 charactersn a title with 69). A godd facelift would be welcome. There' s too many bug in mangement that are still not resolved. The interface is not modern and the document generator is from another era. There's not workflow either.
