Sage 300cloud Reviews - Page 5

Sage 300 had extensive reporting tools, which could be exported into Microsoft Excel and manipulated.

I least liked the fact that we had to go through a consultant to make just about any changes to our invoices/statements. It was not very user friendly or intuitive.

Cheap and easy to use. This is a very basic system, great for our accounting needs but not for our manufacturing needs.

Not great visibility. Hard to run reports and drill back into details of what hit each account. Not great for our manufacturing needs

It is useful to export data to different kind of type files. it is has been installed in our server without problems.

The menu is not familiar like Peachtree (original software) and when the user make a transaction is a little hard to revert the operation.

I like how easy it is to navigate through the program. Everything is clearly organized, and you don't have to search for what you need.

There are a few minor things I don't like, nothing to make me want to switch to a different software program.

No pros were added to this review

No cons were added to this review

I like the lay out and it is easy to follow an order from the quote to shipping stages.

Very hard to make corrections as opposed to Sage 50

Sage report allows me to design and generate financial statement package quickly.

I am unable to collaborate excel formula with BI reports.

Customer support is excellent. The software has multiple modules to assist with a growing company.

The cost of the software as well as the cost per hour charged by to contractor for support is very expensive.

The pricing structure is very interesting and attractive and I liked the fact that I was able to design the financial reports based on the company/personal needs in the intelligent reporting module.

It was not very user-friendly when I tried to export the Accounts Payable report to Excel. I had to save as a CVS file then copy and paste the columns that I needed, which made it a bit tedious. I had to run the intelligence report again from the beginning because new entries were posted. I was not able to edit anymore once I posted the entries so I had to make a reverse entry.

Easy for companies that do a lot of mass hiring or contractors. Great for multiple managers and multiple jobs. Approval of time for hourly employees is easy.

The various ways you can get lost in the system without even realizing where you are. It did not feel like there was defined roles.

Sage lets us easily build chats of our accounting files and projects and input our payments/receipts in one place that everyone can access no matter where or when. There are some great features once you learn how to use the program and get used to some of the shortcuts that will help you overcome being afraid of navigating this program.

As I sort of mentioned above, this program is OK at what it does but it can seem a little bulky and can be tough to navigate for newer users who are unfamiliar with the program. Training new users can be a daunting task and time consuming but once they get it, this will make your life easier.

Nice graphic user interface. Reasonable level of transactional capability, although the native version is weak on analytical capability.

Inability to provide same features as Sage 200. Substantial differences for the same functions. Seems to be from a different company.

there is not really anything I like about

not easy to use or view financial information

It was easy to navigate and creating custom dashboards was helpful for the majority of our users and their roles.

There was so much. The database was a mess as far as naming conventions. Costing was not uniform across the platform. We had selected Standard cost for the whole system then later found out that many of our transactions were using weighted moving average to calculate cost anyway and that we could not change it. We had to add so many third party modules and workarounds. We are selecting a new ERP.

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

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.

I’ve used a lot of their products. My favorite was Peachtree but this one was a good second. Very sound and reliable.

It wasn’t as user friendly as I had hoped. Navigation was a little challenging but after about a month it got much easier.

The project management portion of the software appeared at first to be a good tool. the more we worked with the product, the more we disliked it. Very difficult to find information, not good reports to show complete picture of job profitability, have to assemble different reports to come up with good clear picture of job cost status. the accounting software portion is archaic, again extremely hard to work with, archaic system, very ineffective and incurred substantial loss of productivity.

Must spend on training to understand how to navigate through the software and find the information we need. It is evident that the software provided neglected reinvesting in this product and making it user friendly and up to par with other software on the market today.

Our users don't complain about it too much, unless it breaks. It has run our School's finances for years

Its so badly written and dated. The program has real issues with installing and conflicts with Windows basic securities. For example it does not like being installed in the usual programs folder, you have to run a batch file after the install to overwrite the DLL security, there is another registry hack you have to use to allow a non computer administrator to run the program. When it sends emails out...

It is easy to important my information from Avanti to Sage 300 Cloud

I don't work with it enough to have any negative feedback.

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.

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).

It has a menu base approach so the clients can pick and choose according to their needs. The prices for the various modules is reasonable

Service to many countries is hard to find. A minimum amount of training built in the price may help

Easy to navigate, and very easy to customize

troubleshooting can be very hard sometimes.

I really like how everything can be sync from their online automatization processing application to the sage accounting system. We can process PO, invoices, and payments a lot faster with the adopt of Sage 300. Also, it is relatively easy to pick up and understand how the accounting system is set up

The sync tool automatically occurs after a day which can result in a delay when another user makes an update on their end with manually syncing.
