    it seems to be able to handle multiple locations well. It has a good vpn connection. It makes working at home easy. The problem is it is still run on a dos system. They are removing it slowly, but not all aspects of DDMSPLUS are easy. In my experience, it is hard to get any types of reporting out of that system. For us, AP and payroll are impossible.

    I wouldn't suggest this ERP for small organizations, especially if there is no IT staff. While they do offer support packages, they can be costly as certain packages limit the number of times you can call in. Hiring an outside consulting firm to support is another route, however that could become costly as well. Medium to large businesses with savvy tech staff would be a good fit for this ERP.

    The interface could be a little bit more friendlier and intuitive. Normally end users complain about the ergonomics of the system, even though my experience tells me that is a situation that dilutes itself pretty fast. Another aspect that I think Sage could improve, is the way reports and queries are managed, it seems that at least at some level, there could be a easy drag and drop way (or just by picking fields) to create simple queries/reports. Having to rely on some data base knowledge is not very user friendly. But overall the system is very powerful and a good tool for companies that want to have control over their operations.

    There are a few people that are perfect ratings, but if you dont get one of them it is a little difficult to move forwards. [...], [...], [...], [...], [...]. If you talk to one of them your problems will be solved very quickly. The other support agents im not as familiar with but, in my opinion, some are good

    Unfortunately, the product was purchased before I began working at the organization. I am unsure what other products they may have reviewed before purchasing Sage ERP X3.

    • Things like contracts under the master account only instead of having to carry them through to all departments would be a plus!

    • Sage was easy to setup when we got started.
    • Exporting data out of sage has been extremely hard.
    • Sage is quite fairly priced compared to other alternatives.
