Sage 100 Reviews

“Sage review

Pros

My goal is to help small businesses achieve their objectives.

Cons

In terms of image and certain aspects of the program it falls short compared to others.

“The All In One Accounting App

Pros

When it comes to financial reporting, I must say the reporting options are excellent. I can effortlessly create reports for all my accounting needs in a quick and efficient manner.

Cons

It is a minor drawback but the overall appearance of the application could be enhanced.

“My experience with sage 100

Pros

I appreciate the various business functions, the customization options, the scalability and the interface.

Cons

The main concern is the cost and to some extent, the limited cloud options.

“Sage Review

Pros

It's incredibly convenient to review my purchase orders and see when and what I purchased.

Cons

Occasionally it unexpectedly logs me out and the only solution is to restart my computer.

“Pay for everything

Pros

Unfortunately they have monetized everything now, so there is nothing I can mention positively.

Cons

I would not recommend purchasing unless you plan to monetize every aspect. We bought the program years ago, and then we were updated without consent to a subscription model. Since then every little thing comes with a cost.

“Great Accounting Software

Pros

Ensuring that employees create accurate invoices is crucial for maintaining accountability.

Cons

Previously, we used Mas 90 and didn't have to wait an extra 5 seconds for the functions.

“Heck yeah sage!

Pros

Sage makes our accounting seamless, especially with the ability to export data from ServiceTitan to Sage for invoice processing. It greatly simplifies our job.

Cons

It can feel quite "archaic" at times, but if it's not broken why fix it?

“Easy to use for wages

Pros

As a Sage user I find the system very straightforward. Wage slips, P60s, and other important information are just one or two clicks away.

Cons

So far, I haven't come across any features in Sage that have left me dissatisfied, and I hope it continues that way.

“Sage 100 is an Intuitive Accounting and Financial Management Tool.

Pros

Sage 100 tools are highly effective in tracking project expenses and producing clean and accurate financial data reports. The software also simplifies project financial management, and its billing and invoicing capabilities are excellent.

Cons

It's an easy to use accounting tool and I have no complaints or concerns about its usability. It's highly functional and powerful.

“Sage 100 for buisness gurus

Pros

One of the most fascinating aspects of Sage 100 is the wide array of features it offers. Its versatility allows users to perform numerous tasks with ease.

Cons

Based on my experience I would recommend Sage 100 to anyone because I haven't encountered any downsides to the software thus far.

“Sage 100 review

Pros

Sage makes financial reporting, stock management, and sales incredibly easy.

Cons

Remote work with Sage can be challenging, especially when there's no internet connection.

“Too expensive renewal

Pros

Currently, they still provide a non-cloud version, which is a positive aspect.

Cons

Each time we renew, there's a price increase of at least 10%. We only use GL and the cost is way too high.

“Best Accounting Software

Pros

Having used Sage 100 for over 10 years across two different businesses, I can confidently say it is the best accounting software I have ever used. It offers extensive customization options and includes all the features necessary to successfully manage every aspect of our company.

Cons

The best addition that could be made to Sage 100 is CRM integration. Having a single point of access instead of using different software would be beneficial.

“Not a customer focused company

Pros

The overall feature set of Sage 100 is impressive and meets our expectations.

Cons

The sales process was inflexible and lacked customer focus.

“Practical for commercial enterprises

Pros

Sage 100 provides both manual and automatic bank reconciliation, billing capacity, management of outstanding payments and reminders and functions for analyzing production costs and expenses.

Cons

The software feels a bit generic and too broad in its functionality. It is also a bit expensive.

“Medical Director of Finance SAGE 100 Review

Pros

It's fairly straightforward and easy to use. We can easily modify it to meet the specific needs of our organization.

Cons

A/P invoicing could be improved. We had to resort to using an external Sage affiliated system to accomplish what we needed.

“The right choice to handle your Product Lifecycle Management.

Pros

I particularly appreciate how Sage 100 allows us to manage the bill of materials when developing and maintaining products in our manufacturing facility.

Cons

There are times when it slows down significantly when transitioning between different modules.

“Great for Small Businesses

Pros

We use Sage 100 for accounts payable, accounts receivable and general ledger and these modules work exceptionally well for our business. The interface is very easy to use and customizable, allowing us to focus on the fields that matter most to us. We have also created several import jobs to streamline data import from our other systems.

Cons

My only complaint about Sage 100 is that implementing and upgrading practically requires a third-partys assistance. I wish the upgrade process was more intuitive and better documented, eliminating the need for a third-party.

“Decent Accounting Software

Pros

The ability to save favorites in one place is a great feature. It allows easy access to frequently used reports and functions. The programs straightforward nature makes it relatively easy to train new users.

Cons

I've had numerous issues where if someone else is using the same area/module, it doesn't give a warning. It simply attempts to perform the task and then force closes yours, notifying you afterward. It's frustrating because you lose track of where you were in the process. So be cautious of that. Additionally, connecting printers to this software has been a major hassle on several occasions.

“Standard Accounting Software

Pros

We have been using Sage for a long time because it is the accounting software our accountant is most familiar with and it consistently delivers excellent results for standard accounting processes. It integrates seamlessly with other products and becomes easy to use once you are trained.

Cons

The interface and some features leave much to be desired. The product has specific quirks that are unique to Sage.

“New Sage 100cloud software is great

Pros

My search for a new cloud based solution to manage accounting and finances led me to Sage 100cloud. I needed a program that could handle my businesss complicated processes since my previous software could not. With Sage 100cloud I can simplify my finances by having a single source of data for cash management, financial procedures and supply chain management. The ability to manage my entire business from anywhere, on any device is a game-changer.

Cons

So far I haven't encountered any problems with this product.

“Mas90/Sage100

Pros

The audit trail provided by Sage 100 is exceptional covering all aspects of the accounting cycle and entry tracking.

Cons

Reversing entries can be challenging, but without that, the audit trail (which I appreciate) would be compromised.

“Works well for a small business

Pros

This product functions well and requires only basic user training. It's a great ERP solution considering the price.

Cons

The cost includes only 5 support tickets, and advanced setup and reports are nearly impossible without a consultant. The software must be purchased through a reseller.

“Sage 100 Cloud

Pros

The accounting functionality of this software is incredibly user friendly. The modern screens are easy to read and the reporting features are fantastic. With more employees working from home, having the software on the cloud has been immensely beneficial.

Cons

I wish it had more manufacturing-related transaction capabilities for work orders.

“Over complicated and expensive for freelancers / sole proprietors

Pros

If you are in need of a robust payroll/accounting software. this software offers a wide range of features that might be exactly what you're looking for.

Cons

For someone who doesn't use payroll and doesn't require extensive features/functions, it's overly complicated and expensive. There are more user friendly programs available that are cheaper or even free.

“Professional Layout

Pros

I was really impressed by the way Sage organizes their segments with icons, making it easy to identify the functions I'm looking for. The layout has been carefully designed to be both simple and highly professional.

Cons

As a start up company, the software can become costly since many features are only available as add-ons, increasing the operating software expenses.

“SAGE 100 is a Winner

Pros

This package of modules is incredibly robust - each module is dedicated to a specific task, such as general ledger, AP, AR, inventory and more. Once I set up my company, I assign my staff to be responsible for a specific module and they become experts in their respective areas. All the modules are seamlessly integrated, eliminating the need for manual syncing programs.

Cons

Occasionally certain modules are not as intuitive as others. It seems like different software designers developed each module, resulting in variations in writing logical code. This leads to some discontinuity across the modules. Sometimes a module crashes due to a specific number or letter missing in the database (not sure how that happens!). Unfortunately, diagnosing such issues requires contacting customer service, which can cost you money if you don't have a support plan and consume at least an hour of your time. However, to be fair, this doesn't happen frequently.

“Works OK if you are a qualified accountant!!

Pros

While it takes a little time to find all the features I need Sage has almost all the necessary functionalities. It gets the job done.

Cons

The software is quite expensive, and the customer support is lacking (if you can even reach someone). It's also challenging to use if you don't have an accounting background.

“Great Product and would suggest to anyone

Pros

The portability feature of Sage is excellent. Even when I am on vacation in the south I can still access my files if needed.

Cons

There is not a single function that I dislike.

“Sage - Tacking your Companies costs

Pros

Sage is straightforward to set up. The ability to personalize invoices by adding logos and required information is essential. I can also customize fonts and the appearance of my reports, making it very personalized.

Cons

I would appreciate the option to copy a journal entry for reuse instead of saving it as a stored entry. Copying entries on the go is much quicker. Additionally, when a credit appears, there's no way to back out of it (no option to exit), which can create confusion in the general ledger.

“Sage is awesome

Pros

Having used Mas90 for 18 years, Sage 100 offers a lot more functionality. It took some time to get used to, but I am still learning about the intricacies of the product. So far I am enjoying using it.

Cons

It would be beneficial to have the ability to input longer descriptions.

“10+ Years of Sage in a mid-size manufacturing / distro environment

Pros

Sage may be an older software, but its core functionality is solid. It simply works well for most smaller companies.

Cons

Sage isn't really designed for large or complex environments. Once you exceed 50 simultaneous users and integrate third-party systems for taxation, credit cards, warehouse management, etc, you will notice system lag regardless of the hardware resources allocated to it.

“Many features, Poor execution

Pros

The production management module in Sage helps us keep track of our inventory and built products. It can be very simple to use if you know what you are doing. The ability to use different dates per module is useful when properly utilized.

Cons

There are many background processes happening without your knowledge. Additionally, unless you notice a discrepancy, the software won't alert you. We've had to rebuild sort files to ensure accurate inventory representation. The software also frequently generates errors, forcing you to redo completed work.

“I use it daily... I couldnt be without it

Pros

I find it valuable to be able to lock data within a specific time frame, especially when it comes to bank reconciliation.

Cons

It may be slightly more expensive compared to other products, but considering its specific features tailored to the accounting profession, its acceptable.

“Sage 100cloud from a non-profit user

Pros

All the modules are conveniently located on the left side of the home screen. This may not seem like a significant component, but its a game changer when you need to navigate between different tasks. I can easily reconcile while simultaneously viewing my AR and AP. Making entries and printing checks is effortless. The steps are easy to follow and the tutorials are straightforward.

Cons

When updating the software, it's crucial to double check all modules. We updated and quickly realized that some modules hadn't transferred correctly. The issue was resolved promptly, but it could have caused problems in the future. It would be helpful to have a checklist to track which changes did or didn't occur during updates.

“Mas 100 modules

Pros

The modules share the same format and features. Once a user is familiar with one module, it becomes easy to learn and use all the other modules.

Cons

For our company, creating several custom reports is cumbersome, difficult and time consuming.

“A complete software to run your business

Pros

I appreciate the fact that all the modules related to different operations of the company are interconnected.

Cons

The HR aspect of payroll could be improved. While this software isn't designed for HR purposes, introducing/upgrading some functionalities would be beneficial.

“Accounting

Pros

Over the years, Sage 100 Cloud has evolved from simply accounting software. The new user interface is extremely user-friendly, making it easy to navigate both on the desktop and online.

Cons

The reporting features feel somewhat outdated. It would be beneficial to implement new reporting standards according to IFRS.

“Sage100 Cloud review

Pros

This software is incredibly intuitive for new users.

Cons

I can't think of any downsides to this software.

“Dynamic Accounting Software

Pros

It's the perfect software for billing customers, sending statements, and gathering financial data for reporting purposes.

Cons

It could be a bit more intuitive. However the help system can assist in understanding unfamiliar features.

“Huge improvements over earlier Sage products

Pros

Our organization transitioned from Sage 50 to Sage 100 and the difference is remarkable! We initially thought Sage was the problem but it turned out that our business had outgrown the more basic version of the software. Sage 100 can handle complex costing and processes required in a modern manufacturing business. It allows us to collect data at various stages in the process and consolidate them for budgeting and forecasting purposes.

Cons

We extensively use agile software platforms for sales and e-commerce, and Sage 100s API catalog doesn't keep up with the requirements necessary for fast paced operations in 2020.

“The Toyota Corolla. Not fancy, but efficient and reliable.

Pros

Sage is reliable and provides an excellent way to organize data. I appreciate the ability to pull data into Excel using Microsoft Query and access multiple tables such as invoice history, purchase orders, sales orders and item information.

Cons

The software has an antiquated appearance, especially in Classic View, lacking a modern aesthetic. Nevertheless it efficiently gets the job done.

“Bill of Materials with ERP

Pros

When we started our business 20 years ago, we needed a reliable Bill of Materials integration with an ERP system and this software provided exactly that. The company has grown alongside the software and it seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Office tools.

Cons

There are numerous features designed for larger companies that we don't utilize. Integrating the CRM feature isn't straightforward; it requires a separate installation.

“To many steps to do simple daily process

Pros

The accounting functionality of Sage 100 is probably the most comprehensive.

Cons

In my opinion, there are several cons we discovered after purchasing the software. My main complaint is the amount of time it takes to complete simple processes. For instance, when making price changes and adjustments, we can't do it from a central location. As a retail and wholesale dealer with 30,000 items we have to change retail prices on one screen, wholesale prices on another, and costs in a completely different location. This process takes four times longer compared to other systems. Another major issue is dealing with multiple companies to obtain the necessary support for daily operations. We have experienced finger-pointing between support companies, and issues often remain unresolved for months. It has been over two years since we signed up and we're still facing a multitude of problems without a resolution. Delays in large orders in the Fusion portion are incredibly time-consuming.

“SAGE 100C

Pros

Overall, the software is easy to use across all areas. The fact that it is cloud based and that our partner provides excellent support adds to its appeal.

Cons

Initially there were some challenges with system integration and reporting when Sage transitioned to the cloud.

“Sage 100 Review

Pros

Sage 100 provides all the features our small business needs. We require efficient inventory management with bills of materials and work orders, and Sage handles this exceptionally well.

Cons

As a user I don't necessarily dislike it, but I find that the general ledger system lacks optimization for drill-down capabilities. Accessing specific information can be more cumbersome than necessary, even though all the data is in a relational database. To overcome this, we have developed Crystal reports to fulfill our inquiry needs.

“Sage 100 cloud, a very well supported piece of software

Pros

The tech support for Sage is outstanding. As the admin for database products that start with an O, I can confidently say that Sage's tech support is far superior.

Cons

Perhaps the non SQL backend which I know can be updated but I question why it's even an option in the first place?

“Great software not always user freindly

Pros

The product's ease of use is excellent. It offers a wide range of reports, and the information it retains is incredibly useful.

Cons

Once you post something, correcting errors is not straightforward. The reverse method it offers often ends up creating more confusion than resolving the issue, resulting in messy accounts.

“EXCELLENT SOFTWARE

Pros

EVERYTHING WORKS SMOOTHLY... BALANCING BOOKS IS A BREEZE.

Cons

Dealing with payroll requires running two separate pay periods, which can be quite inconvenient.

“Manufacturing

Pros

The customization capabilities and work order improvements in Sage 100 Cloud greatly benefit my team.

Cons

The transition went relatively smoothly; although, like any software upgrade, there were a few minor hiccups mainly caused by user-related factors.
