Accounting /Customer Service Consumer Electronics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100" May 7, 2020 5.0 Over all we are very happy with the software and support received. Pros We use Sage100 for AR, AP, invoicing, inventory and month end reporting. The software is rather easy to use and can be customize for your business needs.It is very easy to train someone to use SAGE 100. Another feature I like is that I can pull reports out into excel. Also the support given from the SAGE staff is high quality. Good software and support overall. Cons The only con to this software is, it is slow at times. Review Source DS Danielle S. Project Accountant Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not for us" May 7, 2020 3.0 This software is time consuming. You spend more time waiting for items to post, than inputting information. Pros The set-up was very easy. The instructions giving was easy to follow. Customer service was very helpful with the questions that we had. Cons This software is antiquated. To void a payment, you have to manually void the payment. To make adjustments to a invoice, requires you to research the invoice information such as: invoice #, amount, posting date, GL code and cost code, then manually make the adjustment. In the payroll module, once you post payroll all information is gone. You can not retrieve the information. Switched from [Sage CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/227247/Sage-CRM/) We was sharing software with another company. Review Source JM John M. Director, Finance and IT Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very good software. Has gotten better over time. Still room for improvement" May 7, 2020 4.0 I've been using Sage 100 for more than twenty years and it's a great tool most of the time. Databases were improved module by module several years ago and that made a huge difference in stability and reliability. Work flow is consistent across modules. Once you understand Sage's way of managing workflow, it translates to other software modules, so there is less to learn. Pros Full featured. Has what you need in most modules to run a typical company. Decent implementation of Paperless office. Print and linking PDF copies of most documents is great. Cons Workflow can be frustrating or cryptic in rare cases. Implementation of paperless office, particularly for PDF invoices and uploaded documents is really good, but not great. Needs better inventory work order management. Basic integration is terrible, GREAT integration is too full featured. We need something in between. Just a basic Work order process that actually works.

IT Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Perfect ERP Software for medium sized businesses" December 5, 2019 5.0 We have been with Sage for almost 7 years and it has saved us much time and money. Our old software was clunky and not customizable. We are able to now do multiple tasks at the same time, even within different companies. Pros Ease of use, ease of customization. Excellent customer support, excellent value for the money. Great for organizations with multiple entities - ability to switch between companies/work in different companies at the same time. Cons After a sales order is completed, you cannot "resurrect" it - you must generate a new number and "copy" the old sales order from history. Switched from [SyteLine](https://www.capterra.com/p/143792/SyteLine/) Syteline was just too much for us, the version we were on was very clunky and slow. Review Source Perry G. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software is good, but the cloud is not" March 6, 2019 4.0 Pros They have all the data and functionality we need, the reports are good, the speed of access is decent. Cons It is cloud based and we have to pay them every single day for the rest of our lives. We want to have our data local and this does not let us do it. Also, they are not updating the software with any new real features. They are treating it like they treated ACT, like a cash cow. No real improvments, just more money and less support. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder & President Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Long time user, fed up with huge price increases. Subscription based accounting with inventory. " July 3, 2018 4.0 Back in 2005 it was the only mid level accounting system out there. Today there are just too many other options without being held hostage to price gouging. Pros The way it can handle inventory and pick,pack ship. Used to include a great Payroll program but now that is an add on. Cons Huge price increases year after year for just the license. Then you have to hire a software programmer to even do the smallest of task. Or even more money to fix a simple data entry error. Review Source SM Shivali M. Director Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use it daily... I couldnt be without it" March 17, 2021 5.0 I enjoy its capabilities. Pros Being able to lock data in a time frame. And the bank reconciliation. Cons A little more expensive compared to other products. But this is ok considering its features being specific to accounting profession. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/)[Xero](https://www.capterra.com/p/120109/Xero/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 Stability of the system. And the internal audit and control functions. Review Source DM Denyse M. Business Analyst Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Moderately ok ERP" May 7, 2020 3.0 Having been administrators for multiple ERP systems, I found Sage 100cloud to be an entry-level ERP system with limited functionality for a company our size. It might have been ok when they first started with this ERP system, but the technology was too old compared to other systems and common sense functionality was not applied (for example, to change a bin location in inventory, a warehouse person would have to access the inventory maintenance screen whereby they could change costs or pricing or more; bin location changes should occur as a transaction record outside of the inventory maintenance screen). Pros Sage100c was relatively intuitive to use. Cons Data integrity was an issue. Our VAR was excellent but even when they couldn't assist and I had to contact Sage direct for assistance, even they struggled to resolve the data issue (in one case it had to do with correcting average costs on an item held in multiple warehouses). Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Manager Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works well for a small business" May 9, 2022 4.0 Pros This product works well and requires only basic user training. Good ERP for the price. Cons You only get 5 total support tickets included in the cost. Advanced setup and reports are nearly impossible without a consultant. You have to go through a reseller to purcahase the software. Review Source RD Ross D. Owner Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SAGE 100C - robust solution" May 8, 2020 5.0 Stable, well-built product with good interface and functionality. Good 3rd party customer support. Recent better pricing. Pros Complete end to end ERP solution with robust modules scaled for massive implementations - now fairly priced for smaller companies without the loss of functionality. Cons It is a full featured product that is clearly designed for large organizations with dozens of users. In a small company it is a bit burdensome as there are no quick transactions or shortcuts. The Crystal reporting suite is also full function - but it takes a true Crystal expert to easily create reports. There is no ability to quickly create an ad hoc report, and unless Crystal is your second language, it often takes too long to build a report for a single use. Reason for choosing Sage 100 Converted from earlier Sage version. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Management Consultant Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and clear for your bookkeeping needs" September 12, 2018 5.0 I quite like the software and would recommend. I also use Quickbooks, but Sage suits me much better. Pros Really easy to understand and get up and running. Simple workflows and very easy to see the underlying transactions . Adjustments and corrections are a breeze. Cons Only issue I have is with electronic file transfers for payments to my bank. Sage keeps sequential files numbers for each of the different payment types (eg. Payroll and Suppliers), but my bank requires the numbers to be sequential overall. Each time I have to adjust the file number to the proper number so my bank does not reject it. Online support and training material is adequate, but if you need a real person support is limited - hard to get any response and often need to pay. Review Source FB Faris B. IT Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My experience with sage 100" November 29, 2023 4.0 Although i wasn't in the team when they chose Sage100, but my exprience with it was smooth and secure, never had a technical error with it Pros The various buisness fuctions, the customization, the sacalability and the interface Cons Mainly the cost, and somehow the limited cloud options Review Source DH Doris H. accounting manager Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product overall" May 14, 2020 4.0 overall, it works for accounting purpose except for software technical issues from time to time. Pros straightforward, easy to understand and coach any new comers to use the software. I have been using this software for 8 years and I have been able to do annual software upgrade myself. This tells the system upgrade, data migration and conversion is quite simple. Cons Data may disappear, detail and history under account may not agree, all applications are close but still getting error message what posting is in use etc. strange issues like could not conduct account balance recalculate. Reason for choosing Sage 100 cost and the easiness to import journal entries from separate payroll system. Review Source MF Matthew F. CFO Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not a customer focused company" March 23, 2023 3.0 sales process we poor experience Pros The overall feature set was good and met expectations. Cons The sales process was rigid and not customer focused. Review Source AG Anne G. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Practical for commercial enterprises" January 5, 2023 4.0 This software is the best ally of commercial companies for accounting management. Pros Manual and automatic bank reconciliation availableBilling capacity and management of outstanding payments and remindersFunctions for analysis of available production costs and costs Cons software a little general, too genericAlittle expensive Review Source MS Mary S. Office Manager Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to teach new employees" May 7, 2020 5.0 The payroll program works very well with our time clock program. The AP and AR modules are easy to navigate. Pros Our program is very customized to our specific needs. We have several different price levels based on customer pricing and species pricing (for which type of lumber is used). It is very easy to teach new employees the proper procedures with this software. Cons For some reason, the program shuts down on its own. I've been told it's "because the user is clicking too often, which then confuses the software so it shuts down." Review Source RP Renee P. Finance Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Proper training required" May 12, 2020 4.0 The transfer to Sage 100 was very frustrating. Part of the issue that made it so frustrating was caused by the company hired to help us with the transfer. Pros The ability to quickly change between companies is a plus for me. The inventory valuation is a big upgrade. Cons This software is not intuitive. You have to know exactly what you are looking for in order to find things. We upgraded from Sage 50 to Sage 100 so I was surprised at the learning curve. In truth, the only things that are similar between Sage 50 and Sage 100 was that Sage was in the name of both. Reason for choosing Sage 100 Because the system we were choosing was not yet translated to an English version. Review Source KR Kathryn R. Acctg & Benefits Mgr Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "waiting for many enhancements Sage 100 Contractor" May 7, 2020 4.0 been a struggle and had to create many manual systems outside the software to operate and manage the business Pros covers all the basic functions Cons missing many key functions, has too many restricted areas that need to be more user-friendly, that were not designed by real life users Alternatives considered [FOUNDATION](https://www.capterra.com/p/2032/FOUNDATION/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 had hoped that the large software company would use its resources as the sales rep promised to get the enhancements we were told were in the works, years ago. We are still waiting and have reminded Sage every year since. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Accountant Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I use this software on a daily basis for accounting and order entry" November 21, 2017 4.0 It has worked as a light easy accounting information system. Pros Ease of use. This software is easy to get started with and easy to make small basic customizations to fit your companies needs. Cons As always with ease of use comes lack of options to fit niche needs. Everything needs to be purchased through a third party vendor Review Source JS Johanes S. Controller Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100 - My Review" May 7, 2020 5.0 It's good, but your Sage Reporting and what else so confusing, it must have this and that license it ended up adding money which total subscription is not viable for small business pricing but medium or larger business. so we use barebones as what we have now. Pros Easy for user especially modules which is showing step by step Cons to add module costs lots of money, does not make sense for small business like our Company, your pricing is comparable for medium or large business pricing Alternatives considered [SAP Customer Experience](https://www.capterra.com/p/77372/SAP-CRM/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 no plan to find alternative yet due to covid-19 business environment Review Source KL Kara L. Accounting Manager Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100cloud Software" May 7, 2020 4.0 Sage100cloud takes a bit to get used to; but the every-day functions are not difficult to maneuver. When you get into deeper more complex functions (which Sage offers) then it becomes quite difficult to learn how everything works together. It's a muscle machine and can handle a lot of data (we are in the manufacturing business). Pros We have used Sage for over 10 years. Our primary business is manufacturing. Sage has a wide range of tracking and amazing functions that can be done. If you need a robust program and have the budget for it, this is the one to go with. Cons Learning how to use all the completx functions proves to be difficult and training & software are very spendy. Reason for choosing Sage 100 Better functions to track our making of products from start to finish. Review Source TW Teresa W. Sec-Treas Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Honest " May 7, 2020 3.0 I’ve been irritated with the ability to understand why something that should be easy to do has been made hard. Pros The ability to have all 3 locations in one company but with sub accounts. Cons It is difficult to do certain things in accounts payable and accounts receivable. Reason for choosing Sage 100 I was familiar with Sage and was really satisfied with with Sage 50. I thought that there would be less learning the product staying with a sage product. Boy was I wrong. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage is very easy to use!" February 6, 2018 4.0 Pros I like the organizational view and how everything is very easy to find within the program. Financial statements are so easy to understand! Cons I would have to say the tech support sometimes lacks a little more attention to detail and availability to want to solve the program as quickly as possible. Review Source CM Chris M. IT Director Warehousing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 100 Review" May 7, 2020 4.0 We have been able to grow our company and the suite has been able to support this with enough customization and scalability. Pros We have been using the Sage ERP Suite for over 10 years and it has been very reliable with only a few issues along the way. In there new releases they have mitigated the issues we have run into. We have been able to customize quite a bit to make it more streamlined for our users. Cons Payroll we had some issues with and moved to another solution. Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing Sage 100 Convenience and product familiarity. Review Source SM Susanna M. HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A complete software to run your business" January 27, 2021 4.0 From the implementation (Sage 50 to 100) to the ongoing support, customer service has been great, easy to contact and knowledgeable. Pros I like the fact that all module related to the different operations of the company are connected to another. Cons The HR aspect of payroll can be improved. This is not an HR software by any means but some more functionalities could be introduced upgraded.
