An Acumatica partner works with users to understand specific requirements, determine the proper resources and modules for the company, and presents a price for the license.Our pricing is by module and by license and can range depending on what the customers requirements are. Most of our financial and operational modules are $1655.00 each, plus user license, plus an annual business care of 24%.

Considered Both Products
Acumatica
Chose Acumatica
We moved from MAS 90/Sage to Acumatica to increase our reporting possibilities and do less work outside of the system to increase efficiency and reporting.
Chose Acumatica
Acumatica is superior in its offering to construction accounting. It is easier to use and offers more extensive reporting and customizations.
Chose Acumatica
Acumatica to me is the more superior process and offers so much more. It’s not as limited as a number of other systems.
Chose Acumatica
We chose Acumatica. For us it best suited our business and how we do things. When taking in account ease of administration and ease of use for our employees it beat out all. The pricing model is also a great addition for us since we can shrink or grow as much as we need to.

Acumatica
it's very well suited for project racking in the corporate and regional offices. Also for Manufacturing tracking sales and production orders. Also obviously handling accounting and core financials. SO far it doesn't seem to be I'll suited anywhere within what it was made to do

Sage 300cloud is a great option when it comes to cloud accounting/tracking software. In comparison to Sage's other products, Sage 300cloud is the only cloud/web based option with modern UI's and more intuitive interfaces. Additionally, Sage 300cloud offers an entire system of customer integrations that become available dependent on subscription level. Sage 300cloud also offers integrations between other Sage products (AP, CRM, etc) that allows for better automation and efficiency

Pros
Acumatica
  • Banking reconciliation: Quick, easy to understand and easy to follow to see where you left off
  • Clearly displaying just enough data to answer questions without forcing us to work through copious amounts of detail or extracting data into other programs to get answers
  • Billing and payment receipt is particularly helpful in the way that the data transfers into the banking section and is exported

Sage
  • Overall ease of use and intuitive navigation - minimal training has been required to use the system efficiently and effectively
  • Customer Inquiry - quickly see outstanding documents and drill down on any item (open or paid) to find the information you need
  • Most reports are easy to export into a workable Excel format using the Excel - data only or csv file format.

Cons
Acumatica
  • Remittance advices don't work.
  • NACHA file to bank doesn't include vendor reference # which is the vendor invoice number.
  • You can't do offsets between AR & AP when vendors are also customers to net the balances due to/from if agreed upon with the vendor/customer.

  • Little things, like changing the company name - are more difficult than we would like (We used to be MSDSSAB but legally shortened it to MSDSB).
  • A management financial reporting tool with live access - to premade reports - without paying an arm and a leg would be appreciated.
  • More training opportunities in local areas - or nearby - would be appreciated...

I gave this 10 rating because Acumatica ERP is the backbone of the organization, next to the IT Team. We use this software for many different parts of our business. For example our Retail service stations that utilize the inventory, billing, and financials. Our Distribution company that uses it for Field services, CRM, Sales, Accounts and Financial consolidation of all company financials.

It is a solid stable product with a large user community and large ISV community. Support and Training are easy to access and obtain and there is larger reseller channel to ensure the firm you work with is honest. It is scalable and there are multiple deployment and payment options.

Usability
Acumatica
I give it an 8 because it is very intuitive and easy to use for day to day work. I find it more difficult to create general inquiries and financial statements than it seems that it should be. It's not very intuitive in those areas.

Sage 300cloud is intuitive and user friendly after some training. It does require implementation and training but once that's done, this software is easy to use and navigate. Support for Sage 300cloud is spot on and offers assistance over the simplest to [the] most complex of tasks. Finding information or learning new tasks within Sage 300cloud is relatively easy and educational.

Acumatica
We used Acumatica Support directly for the first year or so. Overall it's pretty good, but sometimes the support staff wasn't educated on the customizations we had, nor was I as the Customer as I couldn't remember which things were customized and which things were out of the box, so when there was an error, there were some misunderstandings.

Turnover is high in the Sage Support department so sometimes it is difficult to get a rep who knows the issue well. Reps are good and getting assistance when they need it. Sometimes support is more interested in closing issue than actually solving problem. It can be difficult at times to have issues escalated but overall the support is good.

Scalability
Acumatica
From my understanding, the P.O. module is not very robust, at least the last time I inquired about it. At the time, it had a one-to-one match, with one invoice for one P.O. and that isn't practical for many businesses. I don't believe it would be an easy system to use for sending out invoices, if we had thousands of retail utility customers. We do a small number of invoices because we sell wholesale power, not retail, so we only Invoice the municipality. Not each utility customer.
