Follett Destiny Resource Manager vs. Sage Fixed Assets

The self-service nature and the ability for faculty to recommend and search for texts and resources but the adoption process is not well integrated. The user-friendliness of the process forces the students to then go to a third party instead of staying within the ecosystem.

To me, the best use case for Sage Fixed Assets are: 1. you run a Sage based ERP. or 2. you have an ERP that is limited in its Fixed Asset abilities. We have not done any integration per se, but if we did, it would be fairly easy given the fact that Sage uses SQL tables.

Of all the software we use, Sage is one of the easiest to use. The simple interface makes the whole fixed asset process easy to understand and when new users are onboarded, they have no trouble learning the product. The product also performs well speed and stability wise, making for a great user experience overall

Rather lackluster. Our account manager generally works with Sage's support team and oftentimes finds herself frustrated with a lack of understanding from the support team. Additionally, when IT is attempting to update the system (which from my understanding is a bear of epic complex proportions) they often times find themselves frustrated and at a loss for what needs done.

[I believe that] Sage is nowhere near as good as Oracle. Oracle is easy to use and administer and the features are much better. The system is cloud-based so there are fewer issues with on-prem or virtual servers.

• Integration has caused more user tickets due to errors.
