Pros and cons

The structure of the software is good and allows for good navigation. It has some standard features that are good.
I am happy with the product. I administer this product as well as another ERP and this one is substantially better in nearly every way.
Overall, our experience has been positive. I would recommend that companies ensure to include it in their RFP process.
As an administrator I always have problems when it comes to support and debugging problems presented in the application in which many of them are not documented properly.
Then refund process was excruciating, didnt refund money and had to follow up several times. Then you have to sign up with Pay for ACH which is worse.
Sometimes can have JSON or Java Bridge errors. Sometimes one minor error can cause the whole system to freeze up.

Good medium Company software

Reviewed 4 years ago

Quite a good tool for reporting, and there is a lot of options available, but you need to know how to use the system.

Pros

Allows workflow be controlled for this to be authorised Very user friendly as far as inputting data is concerned Ease of customisation to improve the processes being manipulated.

Cons

A little confusing with the many options available A little time consuming to finding your end goal, and therefore a lot had to be tailor made to suit our purpose

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall experience is good from the software itself. Easy to use and self explanatory of functions. Field help is also good. Detailed amount of context is written.

Pros

Development of new process and ease of use.

Cons

Some basic development should be supportive from the SAGE support team. Some standard script file we can not see. Support is not available on a good amount.

Heavily customizable for any organization

Reviewed 4 years ago
Pros

Customizable yo whatever your organization may need. Lots of external modules available to fill any specific needs.

Cons

Lot of modules that should be “standard” aren’t and require customization. Also unless you have someone who is x3 dev certified you can expect to pay huge money for customization and updates.

Support Model Needs an Update

Reviewed 4 years ago

We are a food manufacturing and distribution operation. Our implementation was, at one time, highly customized. M&A activities and switching support organizations resulted in updates overlaying custom code and loss of custom functionality. The excuse of "That is not our code!" when attempting a recovery is not a viable answer for us.

Pros

This is a very functional and complex ERP application. A robust and expensive to support.

Cons

The support model is lacking in overall expertise. We have used changed support organizations twice due to lack of knowledge on attempting to implement a 3rd party application. Sharing and collaboration of resources between the organizations is cumbersome and the pricing for this expertise, due to complexity of the application, is very expensive.

Overall a good ERP. Keep in mind they have to work for several types of businesses.

Reviewed 4 years ago

Overall, I've had a positive experience. As with any ERP, there are some things that are frustrating, but of the handful of ERPs I've worked with, it is the most flexible. I think it will be even better when we get to V12 (currently on V9).

Pros

There are a wide range of settings to help make Sage function the way we need it to. The knowledgebase is typically very helpful. If calling in for support, most of the time there is no wait and everyone seems quite knowledgeable.

Cons

When you do need a customization, it is lengthy and typically expensive. Apparently this is no longer offered by Sage, so a 3rd party must be used. So far, it is even more lengthy and more expensive....

Good Enough

Reviewed 4 years ago

Mutual. Its not the worst thing I've used, its not the best either. Its a good enough software to get the job done.

Pros

AP is what we use this for, and it is quite easy to use.

Cons

Set up and customization is hard. There are so many menus in the back, to change or update anything it feels like I have to go into several menus. None of which you could figure out on your own - you will most likely be forced to have a 3rd party research and help resolve issues. At least tell you all the menus you have to go into in order to get something to work.

I like that most of the screens have very similar paths/functions, i.e, writing up a sales order is very similar to writing up a purchase order.

Cons

Like most ERP's, you can train on it but unless you use it frequently you will not gain proficiency with it.

Wish there was a way to query which purchase requisitions are in queue for a specific approver.

Really software adjustable to any type of medium or large company

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

What I liked the most is the versatility it has to adapt to the needs of any type of business, a great alternative for ERP. The variety of configurations that can be modified as well as the functionalities that can greatly save response times. The presentation and easy to create reports with very simple and guided quearys also The user interface is foolproof which is a great solution for the support and information department.

Cons

As an administrator I always have problems when it comes to support and debugging problems presented in the application in which many of them are not documented properly. The Reports are very colorful and well structured but at the moment of the output they take a long time to appear. I had some problems in the version update and the service pack caused some headaches

Thyssenkrupp VDM USA was using MAS 200 SQL for 10 years. As this product was phased out, management and users wanted to stay within the familiar Sage Product. Sage 500 ERP, being the true SQL solution, allowed our in-house programmers to create views and reports that were more specific than 200. Although we have only been live with 500 for 8 months in the Accounting and Distribution pieces, we are anxiously awaiting to finish the manufacturing implementation.

Como utilizo o Sage X3

Reviewed 2 years ago

No geral o que percebemos é a agilidade que estamos ganhando conforme vamos integrando os outros sistemas. Quanto mais centralizado a operação fica no sage x3, mais eficiente está ficando o nosso trabalho.

Pros

É um produto fácil de implantar, que permite configurações diversas para a demanda da nossa empresa. Conseguimos utilizar facilmente com a legislação brasileira. Os itens que não sabemos configurar tem um suporte de três níveis que nos ajuda. Bem como tivemos suporte de instalação.Nossa empresa como é pequena não utilizamos todas as ferramentas do Sage x3, mas conseguimos controlar as entradas e saídas, também conseguimos fazer as integrações com web service, para os nossos sistemas antigos.Gerencia muito bem nossos Artigos/Produtos, é possível fazer diversos tipos de gestão, por estoque, por região.. etc.Acredito que com a expansão e conforme ganhamos experiencia, e conhecermos todas as centenas de recursos do sistema iremos agilizar o fluxo de trabalho do nosso negócio.

Cons

Não há integrações diretas com sistemas de ecommerce, é preciso desenvolver a integração.O suporte para a legislação brasileira é ótimo, mas o sistema não tem um help completo disponível em português brasileiro, não é grave pois o suporte nos ajuda em tudo.
