Considered Both Products
Sage 100cloud
Chose Sage 100
In my 15 years at this company, we have only used Sage100. Prior to purchasing Sage100, JobBoss was partially used; however, JobBoss did not integrate well with the general ledger, accounts payable and inventory of Sage100. Sage100 offers seamless integration of those …
Chose Sage 100
Sage 100cloud has taken some time to get used to. It is not a user-friendly as some of the other software, but you can get the hang of it by using it enough. It provides a lot of accounting, inventory and customer data management for our company.
Chose Sage 100
I didn't choose Sage 100 ERP -- it was already in use when I started at the organization over five years ago. It has the same types of pros and cons as other big hulking software suites meant to power the infrastructure of corporations. It's slow, tough to customize, and …
Chose Sage 100
Sage 100 is much more robust and has an impeccable audit trail when compared to Quickbooks. Sage 100 also provides real time inventory management and manufacturing capabilities not provided in QB.
Chose Sage 100
I'm a VAR for multiple ERP packages and for the money Sage 100 can't be beat for distribution. For project accounting and advanced manufacturing I would go with another solution.
Chose Sage 100
Sage is a great product with it's own niche. We are happy with selecting Sage for our accounting department.
Chose Sage 100
For the cost of the software and implementation, we knew we were getting a more robust software that we could grow with. Other software offerings would have had to be piece-meal solutions and created more difficulty integrating.
Chose Sage 100
All three products are very good, but at some point reach their limits and Sage 100 ERP becomes a very good, easy to use, cost effective solutions. It is also more secure than QuickBooks or Sage 50.
Chose Sage 100
Have not recently evaluated other systems. This was in use when I arrived. We have found no reason to change. It provides the information we need.
Chose Sage 100

Sage 100 is far more user-friendly, easier smoother installation than Epicor. More robust and versatile than Quick Books. Does not require the technical overhead needed to run MD Great Plains.


Chose Sage 100
I have used Blackbaud and MIP. Blackbaud is excellent for private schools and universities due to their tuition module. MIP is a strong nonprofit software product. Sage 100 ERP meets the organization's needs and made the transition less costly.
Chose Sage 100
I didn't select Sage and wouldn't have selected it if given the opportunity. It was here when I came on board. We are currently in the process of migrating to Financial Edge.
Chose Sage 100
The last 20 years I worked as a Sage consultant implementing Sage 100 for customers. Other systems I dealt with were: Quickbooks, MS Great Plains, Expandable, Accpac (now sage). Downgrades from Oracle and SAP
Chose Sage 100
We preferred the cost point and overall value we felt we got as opposed to the competition
Chose Sage 100
I've reviewed Accpac, Syspro, SAP Business 1 and Platinum. Sage is far easier to use and setup than Syspro and SAP Business 1. Generally speaking, most accounting software does the same thing, at the end of the day, how easy is it to modify data inside the system and review to …

For small and medium business in the distribution and light manufacturing space, Sage 100 is probably the best bang for your buck. As a very scaleable system, you can modify the system to meet the needs of a growing business without making gross changes to the core of the system

Cons
Sage
  • It's painfully slow even for mid-sized businesses like ours without millions of transactions.
  • It crashes very, very often and has numerous critical failures.
  • Unfortunately, it's a local program so that excludes it from being used remotely. You have to be on site for it to work.

I would put this out to bid, if I were at the same organization. There have been a lot of improvements and changes in enterprise software and my preference would be to find a good web-based or cloud-based tool. Lower overall cost of ownership and improved efficiency would be my target criteria for a rebid of this.

Usability
Sage
It is easy, flexible, user friendly and feature laden. Out of the box or easily customized to meet our "wish" list . Sage offers a variety of modules and bolt-ons, user defined fields etc., allowing us to conduct business "our way" without forcing us into a one-size- fits- none mold or having to purchase expensive and cumbersome programming modifications

Sage Support is very good. I usually get a person on the phone in a short time frame and usually get my issues fixed in one called.

Implementation Rating
Sage
We had an advantage in implementing the tool in that our director of Ops had been part of the team implementing the ERP for other users so we knew what to expect and were able to avoid a lot of the challenges people sometimes face with implementations. However, the process still took far longer than desired.

I find that Sage 100 is excellent at these things.
