Opiniones de Sage 300cloud

We have owned and used this software extensively since 2012.

Puntos a favor:

Standardization. We were doing a lot of process work through excel, word, email, etc. This forced us to standardize how we operated and gave our clients a consistent experience over multiple projects. Job costing is capable of being more accurate than we need.

Contras:

Lack of significant improvements to the software given the annual support and maintenance amount paid. Features tend to be minor with more significant improvements coming in the form of additional optional products for purchase.

The work of SAGE 300 ERP with Me in Lusaka, Zambia

Comentarios: We were trying to address the issue of going green meaning working in a paperless environment.
We benefit in many ways as we had reduced on stationery cost, and work become faster as processes were integrated in the systems.
It still requires improvement and the environment in which it works does not fully support or become compatible with local Vendors.
The advice I would give to others is that they need careful planning so that they only ask for installation of packages suitable for their environment.

Puntos a favor:

It automates manual work of processing purchase orders and eliminates physical postage of paper documents to third party (Suppliers). It integrates separate pieces of transactions into one, making work easy and shorten the overall time spent on processing one simple transaction e.g. Purchase requisition is generated by someone else then converted into a purchase order without altering many details. The system is able to make basic or advanced calculations of cost and taxes hence eliminating the burden of errors and omissions.

Contras:

It is somehow expensive to run as it requires a perpetual subscription to be made. It is a system that cannot just be installed on the PC for a lifetime. Room for improvement is still available because it has a lot of steps (clicking is too much). We could not achieve the go-green aim as most of the time we were printing out physical copies of contracts as the environment in which we used the system did not have many vendors connected to the internet.

Sage 300

Comentarios: Overall the program is satisfactory.

Puntos a favor:

The modules are easy to use . The screens are easy to navigate and they are user friendly. there is excellent audit tracing for each module.

Contras:

The reports are minimal. The more useful reports require you to purchase a separate license for Sage intelligence which is very expensive. the stock reports require another software program (Crystal reports ) in order to modify them. The set up screens for the customer and vendor screen do not allow for more than one email address which reduces the ability to email directly from Sage. The payroll module does not email EFT check reports to employees. You have to buy another program in order to do this (Print Boss). Overall there is a hefty price tag to purchase all the modules and add on programs to use. If you can stay with Simply, then you should.

Satisfied customer

Comentarios: overall we are very satisfied with the product

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use, it is very user-friendly. Enjoy being able to use desktop or cloud.

Contras:

reports could have more options and easier to create new ones

Sage300 and why you should use it

Comentarios: We use it as our basic accounting package for dealing with all of our vendors and all of our clients.

Puntos a favor:

It has all of the basic features of a full accounting system including AP, GL, AR, Sales order, Inventory mgmt.

Contras:

Customization is not simple to do. It is not simple to add new forms or understand the table structures. Table names are very short and obsure.

Good enterprise accounting software

Puntos a favor:

Sage 300 is a fairly easy accounting software to learn, especially if you are required to train persons within your company. The report feature is quite good with lots of option for creating charts. This is a good tool to invest in if you want to take your business to the next step. The installation of the client side application is easy, with a few click and the application is installed. System Administrators will have no problems deploying this application.

Contras:

The application user interface needs an overall to a more modern looking interface. Sage 300 interface does not scale well with high resolution monitors because the menu buttons become very smaller as the resolution increases.

There's better options out there

Puntos a favor:

I started my business accounting using this software and quickly realized it had way more features than I needed for a sole proprietor. If you run a large organization with lots of employees you will probably utilize more of those functions.

Contras:

There's a huge learning curve, it's not intuitive, and it's very expensive. There are lots of accounting programs available that are easier to use and a lot more affordable (ex. Wave is free and gets the job done).

Sage 30 Review

Comentarios: n/a

Puntos a favor:

Multi-Currency Functionality Multi sites Multi companies

Contras:

Cannot Have Customers and Vendors multicurrency

I was tasked to plan, set up, and administer the application in one of my previous job.

Puntos a favor:

I like the data export function which supports many different kind of format.Installation of the software was a breeze. The best part is I was able to design the financial reports based on the company/personal needs in the intelligent reporting module.

Contras:

The pricing tend to be on the expensive end. The technical support still has ample room to improve.

Sage 300

Comentarios: Good customer service and always will to assist.

Puntos a favor:

Easibility of use, quality product and multi-user credentials.

Contras:

It is always hard change from on product to another. But overall, very good experience.

Sage Pros and Cons

Comentarios: I really enjoy it, other than the "insert" key. I haven't had to call much for support but when I have, they have been very helpful. I need to update to the next version and hope to do that in the near future.

Puntos a favor:

The ease of use. I also like the importing/exporting factor to excel spreadsheets.

Contras:

I HATE having to use the "Insert" button to complete a transaction. I would love to see Sage allow the enter key available to use. I have a Mac at home and Apple has taken the insert button off their keyboards so I am unable to enter Sage transactions from home I have to come to the office to complete entries. You would make my day and many others, I'm sure if we could use the enter key.

Great of custom Coding

Comentarios: I Like how to configure and how all is easy for a programmer to add some software to help end-user, if you not add custom coding it will respond our demand

Puntos a favor:

I like the possibility to link Custom coding to sage with AVB macro

Contras:

Slod product by unit or by full case, it seen not very user friend to understand doing this

Solid Product but poor after sales support

Puntos a favor:

Product is excellent. It is reliable, easy to use and meets the need of the organization which includes foreign currency and project costing.

Contras:

Report are tied to crystal reports. Should have a more dynamic report writer where user can pull different data points and relate the data. The PJC costs tab is far too manual. As importing data into this tab is not easy or user friendly. We do not use timecards, even if we did it would only allow entry by individual employee into the various projects as opposed to by department where there are many employees at different pay rates. It would be handy to be able to import into PJC costs to deal with these issues.

Full Ledger Accounting Package

Comentarios: I work in the IT Industry and I've worked at a company that sold Sage Products to multiple customers. Sage300 is a great system for workplaces that need a Full Ledger accounting package. It is sold in the standard modular state, if you need a feature, you buy it and add it on. AR, AP, GL, Bank Reconciliation, etc. It can integrate with multiple database solutions if I recall. They started out producing for Pervasive SQL, but I think you can get it for MSSQL now too. A bit of a learning curve to get used to it. One of the nice features is the security of it. You can limit any user's rights to a very fine level.

Puntos a favor:

Modular, great security, solid product. Fantastic support from the manufacturer.

Contras:

A bit of a learning curve for both use and administration.

Sage for Contractors

Comentarios: The construction company I work for migrated from a small outdated accounting software to Sage over the past few years. Learning to use it has been challenging and if it wasn't for having previous users on our staff, I would still be struggling to learn it. However, now that I have started to master the basics of job cost management in Sage, it is becoming more useful. It is a very powerful piece of software and will continue to provide additional features for me to use as I further develop my skills using it. It is accurate and robust software.

Puntos a favor:

Powerful, lots of built in reports and forms, relatively easy to use after some training and time.

Contras:

Complicated, expensive and takes a very concentrated effort to learn.

Crashes too often

Puntos a favor:

Once you get used to it it’s a very good system. Seems to have endless storage space

Contras:

Crashes at least once a week. Typically back up and running in a few minutes though.

Room for improvement but does what it needs to & reliable! Excellent customer service

Comentarios: We have worked with Sage for many years and will continue to. They are always improving and building on existing features. Customer service is excellent.

Puntos a favor:

Design / layout is organized, easy to find what you're looking for. I love the items wizard for adding in parts. It catches errors or omissions very well. Customer service is always excellent when troubleshooting. They have helped us recover lost data when errors were made.

Contras:

Difficult to customize features. Can't email invoices or order confirmations directly from this program, have to export every single time which is more time consuming than it needs to be for accounting. Notes function is very buggy, freezes often. Also freezes often when creating an invoice or receiving a PO.

Sage 300 Premium (2018) with Inventory and Job Costing

Comentarios: Would love to change to something more modern with better job costing and reporting capabilities.

Puntos a favor:

Like driving a jeep - usually gets you where you need to go, but not elegantly.

Contras:

Poor integration of modules (lots of posting and reposting batches). Not at all a modern feel. Job costing is horrendously complicated and very difficult to keep reconciled. Reporting is antiquated and completely inadequate. Surprising for such an old program. Feels like an upgrade from a DOS version.

We switched from Sage BusinessWorks to Sage 300 last year at the office with very mixed results.

Comentarios: Ultimate the primary reasons we upgraded to Sage 300 were to automate the receiving of EDI orders from our largest customers (Walmart, Amazon, etc) and to facility an automated shipping label generation process and it has accomplished those things relatively well.

Puntos a favor:

It makes things like receiving and bulk printing sales orders via EDI channels much faster and easier than they were before during our 20 year run with Sage BusinessWorks.

Contras:

It's made some things much easier, in fact things that we needed to become easier in order to continue in business, but has added a layer of complexity to manual order processing functions making these much more difficult to manage. The consensus at the office is that BusinessWorks was easier to use for purposes like keying in orders, invoicing orders manually and then bulk printing or emailing those invoices, etc.

Average performance

Comentarios: It is an average accounting system but need to offer more user-friendly reporting features,

Puntos a favor:

It is good upgrade from ACCPAC when we moved over to Sage 300. Some sort of continuity is allowed for the users. It performed generally satisfactorily.

Contras:

Need to do more customization on financial reporting and daily transaction processing reports.

REVIEW

Puntos a favor:

RECEIVING-PAYMENT EASE USING THE SOFTWARE FOR THESE FEATURES IS EASY

Contras:

REPORT FEATURES i WISH IT HAD MORE REPORTS AND FASTER LOAD TIMES

Works well for our accounting purposes

Puntos a favor:

I like that it is intuitive and easy to use for an accountant. The system is reliable.

Contras:

Customer service has not been able to answer 99% of our questions. We are often referred to a sage business partner - even when we had paid for gold level support. I wish there were detailed user manuals available - especially for SAGE intelligence.

SAGE review

Comentarios: SAGE 300 need to add more ready to go financial reports.

Puntos a favor:

power full and reliable database. Good controls in place.

Contras:

few ready to go financial reports and tax functionalities

Getting the Most out of your (ACCPAC) Implementation

Comentarios: SAGE 300 ERP Accounting (ACCPAC) is on of the simplest accounting platforms to use out there; however, make sure you have proper guidance when setting up your source files; messing those up or not setting them the way you want exactly upfront can be a real pain when it comes to getting your financial reports. Also make sure to enter all required fields - it won't tell you what all of those are until you see gaps in your data on the financial reports. Hardware requirements won't break the bank and its a simple client-server installation that most can do in their sleep. Training can be accomplished in a few days to a matter of hours depending on your skill level (acumen). The standard package is your GL, AP, AR and your SM. If you have those you are ready to run your business. Add the PO module and you can deal with purchasing as well. This application is for small to medium size businesses. If you reach fortune 500 status or have more than 20 users start looking else where or be prepared to purchase a mega load of third party add-ons.

Puntos a favor:

Easy to use Simple hardware requirements Semi-decent financial reports out of the box

Contras:

After 20 concurrent users, cost of ownership becomes pricey To get enterprise level controls and process flow - you must purchase third party add-ons. Not enough levels of security for larger accounting departments No built in auditing - third party add-on required
