Sage 300cloud Reviews

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.

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.

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

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.

We use this software to manage our inventory. We have totally happy with this as the different departments which are not in the same area, can order, approve and have our Stores Department deliver with no hiccups. It also advises when items need to be reordered. Our Stock taking process and audit is so much more efficient with this software.

I would say that we do not have much issues other that you need to have the correct name of the item you are ordering. Once you become familiar with your stock it is much more manageable.

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

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

Some areas of the software are easy to use while others not so much. We require a lot of add-ins to get the full functionality of what we need, there by significantly increasing our cost. Core SAGE does require a lot of work arounds depending on your needs. Reporting is good, some of it could be improved, but generally happy with reporting.

Not extremely user friendly, but is better than some software. While reporting is stated as good, many customized reports are required.

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.

Sage was recommended to once implemented it was easy to use from day one. Fast and simple to use. clear useful data which instantly made a positive impact on our business. it saved us time and money within its first month of use brilliant software a must-have for any company.

Sage is too complicated to both install and set up we have to get an outside company set up and install apart from this additional cost everything else was perfect.

We have used Sage since 1996 and have been part of and used most of the upgrades throughout the years.
Realiability comes to mind and the ease of the overall upgrade process.

The only aspect of the software was in the issuance of reports that can be considered one-time only printing. With the last few upgrades, I noticed that this has now been removed for most of the reports which is great for historical ease of reference.

Pros: Solid audit trail, Easy to use, Reliable business logic

Virtually No capability of exporting Master Data (Customer, Vendor, Items) to Excel
Virtually No capability to import transactions (Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoice, Payment, etc) from Excel.
Not enough default report (Most of the reports are there from Accpac DOS!!!!, where there was no capability to store the data more than 1 year.)
Frequent price increase (Netsuite is cheaper than Sage 300)

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.

I like the interface of the software that makes it easy for the person inputting information to navigate the screens.

If I am both an approver and an data entry employee I can approve my own GL, AP, etc entries. This has proven to be an internal control issue when our auditors are documenting our systems and controls.

I like how it makes the entire business cycle seamless. It is also really good at integrating with many available options.

It can take a while to learn the various aspects of the program, but once you do it is amazing.

It is pretty easy to use, good for vendor and customer reports

cannot print invoices out of sage, should be able to reprint a check even if it is posted

pretty easy to use once you learn it, easy to drill down to info required

Very difficult to change yearend, very difficult to fix mistakes, do not like I have to deal with an agent for the software

Simple interface and easy to navigate. Could make some of the functionality of AP and AR more seamless.

Needs more functions to support paperless payables.

Easy and simple to use. It is functional and meets all requirement of our needs.

It seems the Licence renew price increase every year.

I love the intelliegence Reporting. And the ease of the reconciling Bank Statements, and making Journal Entries.

It took my team a little bit of times feeling comfortable with the system at first. They had been using the same software for several years and did not want to change.

Consistency across most modules. Sage Intelligence was helpful as well as some plugin reporting features.

Lot management was an add-on feature that did not integrate fully. Cost management was unwieldy. Manufacturing is only for discrete manufacturing but was sold to a process manufacturing company.

Strong software multicurrency functionalities

High Priced for current my deserved marketplace

We upgraded from Sage 50 to Sage 300 and happy we are now able to have lot control for our manufactured goods. Love the ease in finding any information required. Search works very well.

Took some getting use to regarding batches, the learning curve is longer than expected

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.

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.

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.

Very user friendly compared to other products

Very poor customer support by Sage. We need to rely on third party support.
