    IES is well suited for multi-entity organizations. If the intercompany mapping is set up correctly, the access to consolidated reporting can be a game-changer. I could see IES working well for a company with traditional inventory needs, as it has many features that we do not use or need in construction. IES is adequate for construction organizations, although its project reporting is more limited than QuickBooks Desktop. Hopefully, they improve this in the future. IES is less appropriate for smaller companies or companies with only one entity. The price tag is high.

    Sage 500 ERP is great for companies with core accounting needs, distributors, and discrete manufacturers. Some areas, such as process manufacturing, would require a companion product from an ISV for the software to be truly functional. Some areas, such as construction or retail apparel, may simply not be well-served.

    Pros
    Intuit
    • They have the best support. Quickbooks has always had great support but have step it up a level for help with Intuit Enterprise Suite. They are always there to help by phone, chat, appointment. The people we talked know the system and how to help.
    • They have been working hard to make this a great accounting system for Construction as they can. They have gone a long ways to help us to have one system instead of numerous different systems.
    • Intuit Enterprise Suite makes it easier to have several companies under one roof. We quite often have journal entries to post between two or more of the companies. We can make the entries in one place.
    • All in all we have been very happy switching to Intuit Enterprise Suite, so much so that we renewed for three years. We believe in what Intuit is doing with Enterprise Suites and they know how to create a great product.

    • Sage is the one-stop-shop for all of our needs. We're able to control contracts, subcontracts, and field reports from the program.
    • Another strength is the ability to database all the information and export it to excel. This makes data-based investigations a breeze.
    • The ability for Timberscan to be imported to Sage is a huge help with invoice management. Prior to this it all had to be done manually and slowed the process to an essential halt as there are thousands of invoices per month.

    Cons
    Intuit
    • I would like to see them continue to include dimensions across other reports.
    • I would like the ability to void transactions using a specific date of our choosing.
    • I would like a live report writer for the P&L and balance sheet so I can move GL accounts into sections of my choosing.

    • The biggest concern/complaint of Sage 500 users is speed. Some of the screen take a while to load.
    • The user interface needs some refreshing. Screens need to be updated to take advantage of shortcuts and to be more intuitive.

    The software is very user friendly and being able to create reports with specific data and export it to Excel is a great help in budgeting for annual costs and tracking where a certain program is getting more attention

    Intuit Enterprise Suite helped alleviate a major pain point for our business. We now no longer have to prepare manual consolidated financial statements. This allows us to speed up the reporting side of each month end and allows us to spend more time analyzing the numbers as opposed to preparing them.

    NetSuite was way more complicated; it required heavy user training regularly, especially for onboarding, was really complex to maintain and customize, required expensive 3rd-party consulting and customization, had complicated integration with other business systems, and was complex to build reports. Zoho Analytics was very basic and missed many important features that businesses need to run their operations.

    500 seems much smoother at handling some of the basic accounting tasks, for example both issuing and later reconciling checks in Dynamics AX seems a little tedious.

    Return on Investment
    Intuit
    • Overall our experience has been great - easy and smooth onboarding process
    • Better support experience has surprised and delighted the team in ways I wasn't really expecting
    • I like it more than I expected I would - the convenience of having it all in one place and being able to toggle through entities is really a major improvement

    • Positive: The program allows for a lot of data entry and splitting of information. It has the capability of replacing multiple programs and therefore saving cost.
    • Negative: The modules are cumbersome and not user friendly at all. As a result not many user are comfortable using it. This means that the program is not being used to its capacity.
    • Negative: Although the program has the capacity to be great, the user interface destroys that potential. Sage needs to seriously work on their program to simplify it. It's as if it still uses Command-line entries from 1995. Needs to be updated ASAP.
