Ramco ERP vs. Sage 500 ERP

It provides a complete real-time solution on the go, if possible. Complete with all the features. I would definitely recommend this
to other businesses to have in their ecosystem for a complete understanding of
cloud-based digitization of business operations. Best choice for transforming the cloud-based organization into digital transformation.

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.

• I am pretty much impressed by their unified solution for every problem, workflow-based approach, and real-time optimizing engine in memory.
• Interference of Ramco ERP is the reason for choosing it.
• It is a completely cost-effective and reliable ERP solution.
• The best feature that helps me to keep working on Ramco ERP is that it easily integrated with other existing software very easily.

• 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.

• The biggest drawback I have been facing while using the platform is that there must be no compromise on security. There is a need for a few changes in security and data control which helps businesses to trust Ramco ERP more.
• Data migration is a bit of hard work along with the reports that are not giving expected results, which need improvements.

• 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.

It's too pricey for our size of company.

I have
been using this software for some time where I have changed my organization
setup with the help of Ramco ERP and it leads to being the best choice, as it has
all the features that are needed to be the best. All the processes are very streamlined, easy to
use, and the real-time inventory stock update is amazing.

I have been using Intacct for almost 10 years in 2 different companies and I just simply love it. I tried SAP (GUI) and Netsuite and they dont come close to what Ive seen.

The support team is best in their respective tasks.
They are very supportive and responsive to the messages, listen to the problem
carefully, and provide a solution on the go. If it is not possible, they will
respond after time with the workable solution.

The online training courses are not up to date. We experienced technical issues with two of the classes.

Keep your database and application in different servers.
Install Microsoft Office on your application server so you can use some of the data analysis tools in Sage.

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.

• Support team is great; it helps me where I am stuck.
• It has a very intuitive nature and is very well designed on modernized UI to have the best workflow.
• I am very much satisfied with their services and features they’re offering.

• 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.
