Sage 300cloud Reviews

This is a great tool to have for a smaller company. It's very efficient in tracking any accounting.

The least thing I like is the time it takes to communicate to other programs that it is supposed to be compatible with...

The software is cost effective, user friendly, accurate and reliable. Reporting is up to scratch and auditing is made easy

Generally the product is fine with no flaws. The integration with other products is seamless. No clitches.

Wide arrange of functionality. Data is well protected from wandering fingers. Security seems good as well. A solid platform that rarely has issues

Lack of systems administrator training, outside of the use of your consultant. Little to no self-learning of the real nuts and bolts of the system. The consultant tells me it is to complex to learn that way. This is incorrect I can learn Microsoft SQL that way, the possibility of being way more complex. Data tables are old in structure and hard to function with. For example, I have to use address line 4 for emails because the email field is in a different table. Shipping software integration can read from both. Expensive website integration because of the complexity and lack of standards in the SQL database. It can get expensive because many things require expert assistance and new modules. It does lack the ease of use for retail sales. Opening modules can be slow.

Reporting tool help us to understand day by day how is our company working. With business intelligence we can explain to our principals how their investment in working. The tax reporting calculates directly in the currency source doing very easy our account work

Sometimes when we try to edit data the program tends to be so slow that makes terrible do our simple job. When you try to get support from the support team, the process is archaic and not effective.

The General Ledger, Payable, and Receivable and bank module are very useful and fit out needs. I like new upgraded features. The reports are more powerful

Not able to produce customized reports we can only used the reports that are produced by SAGE. it would be valuable if we customized some reports.

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.

We have quite a complex business and as such required alot of custom setup luckily we had a very good company called Devote who could assist us with it. Being able to work anywhere at any time with a central server and handle the number of transactions with our reporting requirements is very handy.

The batch system can be frustrating at times if someone incorrectly deletes a batch. The crystal reporting system can also be hard to work with but if you intelligence reporter its fine.

Strong Data entry features - Sales order, ICT, AR, AP

Customer Inquiry reports drill down - flexible

Negative stock quantity can be entered at order detail line and goes undetected so long as the order total remains positive

Lack of restriction on Stock Warehouse selection during Order Processing-- There is l no control in place to restrict users to access stocks in specific system warehouse that they are assigned. A user can receive, transfer, sell stock in any warehouse in the system without any restriction
How to handle PO Cancellations not available

Reporting (supplier activity reports) not detailed as like provided in Accounts Receivable

Difficulty is posting of Discount allowed to customers into General Ledger

Suppliers Inquiry reports drill down -NOT flexible

Sage Intelligence is critical to our operations. We use it for all of our reporting and does a great job.

The web screens version is not quite functional enough, especially in regards to using Sage Intelligence. The only reports we can currently run in Sage Intelligence are financial statements. We use Sage Intelligence mainly for operational reports (Non GL reports) and have many customized reports however we cannot run any of these reports in the web screens. The querying features in the web screens are also much less functional than the desktop version.

It has great security features and can include a lot of customization.

All these customizations are very expensive and some features feel like they should be out of the box but are not.

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.

Easy of use with numerous business types.

Changes are needed to save time in data input. The software should retain the vendor code when entering invoices in accounts payable. You have to reenter the vendor code each time a group of invoices are entered for the same vendor. You are only able to pay 14 invoices to a single vendor with one check.

Sage 300Cloud is a robust system that can be tailored to your current business needs. As your business/staff grows additional modules and licenses may be added to suite your needed.

the enhanced reporting features aren't quite user friendly.

I like the idea that the Software can grow with our company. After a short learning curb I am able to create reports that are needed with little assistance. With Acumen assistance it was a pleasant change from our previous software. Many things are just easier to get done in less time. Bank Reconciliation is a major factor.

It took a a couple of months for our staff to feel comfortable with the change. Looking for information in reports and understanding the software. But once they got over the change all has been smooth.

Sage has been our go-to software for accounting and financials for the last 10+ years. The updates that came with 300-cloud are incredibly efficient and easy to use.

The layout and feel is very dated. An update to the look would make a huge difference, especially with the younger-users.

Easy to use, does a lot of the major accounting work for you with simple data entry.

Difficult to get support unless you are hosted, help section could use work.

Reports can be generated to pdf or excel or other formats. Useful when doing data analysis.

Few reports are tailored into the software. For others, required to buy or engage support provider to create report which is expensive.

The Intelligence reporting was very useful specially consolidating multiple company financial statements

The Bank Services module which requires a third party app to upload bank statements

Integrates good with MISys, Order entries, reports generation works fine.

Fragile with MISys version 6.4.3.3, not sure MISys issue or Sage's.

A very flexible software that can be customized to meet each client's needs. Easy to use and provides all the necessary tools for accounting and payroll.

A bit pricey. The reports when exported to excel needs a bit of work to come up with a good format.
