Importing different types of data types

Cons

Faster processing features for adjustments
Ability to edit transactions posted if period is open
Feed bank feeds
Bank rec glitches with system balances and scrolling down is quiet slow

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for larger companies it's that requires complex reports. Less appropriate for small Industry businesses

Good system if you already have it, doesn't worth the investment as a new system.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's our accounting system for book keeping. It's not useful for financial reporting. We have about 18 users using it, between people who enter data and people who are a view only users.

Pros

General ledger
Trial balance

Cons

Old system, better to upgrade

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a very old system that can be replaced with Sage Intacct. I don't think it worth the investment considering the advanced systems out there. Unless you already have the system for years, it doesn't worth to implement now.

Accounting Department

It helps with productivity

Pros

Reduces Errors
Faster Productivity
Reports
Managing Money

Cons

More training
Slacking a little on Reports
Cost

Likelihood to Recommend

It is a resource planning solution that connects core business operations like accounting, distribution, warehousing, etc.

The security features allow you to fine tune the permissions for the end users so that they cannot see data that you do not want them to see. It is great with Financial Planning and Management.

Bills all of our customers.

The Cloud is Better!

May 19, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage 300cloud is being used across our entire organization, across all departments. We utilize Sage 300cloud as our accounting, work order, and job management system. Previously, we used something less robust and on premise which can create its own set of challenges. With Sage 300cloud, we are able to work across the whole organization from anywhere without worrying about not having enough licenses.

Pros

Subscription based pricing - this is great because it's a pay as you go model
Integration - Sage 300cloud offers numerous integrations with other apps
UI - A more modern approach with better looking screens

Cons

Job Integration - Sage 300cloud doesn't offer the ability to track time against jobs
Time Tracking - Sage 300cloud doesn't offer an easy way to track time in the field
Reporting - Sage 300cloud lacks on reporting

Likelihood to Recommend

Sage 300cloud is a great option when it comes to cloud accounting/tracking software. In comparison to Sage's other products, Sage 300cloud is the only cloud/web based option with modern UI's and more intuitive interfaces. Additionally, Sage 300cloud offers an entire system of customer integrations that become available dependent on subscription level. Sage 300cloud also offers integrations between other Sage products (AP, CRM, etc) that allows for better automation and efficiency.

Sage 300 ERP is a steady, solid software

Rating: 9 out of 10

September 7, 2019

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage 300 is used by the accounting department for all facets: AP, AR, and GL. We also use the document management system, as we're paperless. The user permissions take care of our employee checks and balances, making sure to eliminate the possibility of fraud.

Pros

User-permissions and restrictions by role or individual.
3rd-party add-ons for document management or purchase order systems.
The availability to alter/add fields in various menus.

Cons

The user interface is not very exciting, and kind of plain.
Some canned reports are lacking. We have had to have a few custom ones built.

Likelihood to Recommend

I have used Sage products at a few different companies and am pleased overall with ease of use, functionality, etc. It's good for mid-size companies in my opinion. The good news is you have the ability to grow the software as needed, adding on 3rd party softwares for document management or PO approval routing.

Cons

Basic functionality in AP. Can not add second default GL account code in vendor setup.

Good for relatively non-complex business models.

August 3, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used across the entire organization. It is the backbone of the organization; being used for A/P for paying bills to vendors whether they be individuals, companies or government, payroll for over 200 staff and receiving payments (A/R) from the private and public sector. The G/L is the 'go to' for budgeting purposes - as well as financial reports to keep programs in line.

Pros

Payroll is strong - very happy with integration with our scheduling software for EMS as well as the salaried employees.
The reporting, though sometimes cumbersome to set up - is strong once it is in place.
The G/L is accessible by all upper management - and used to see how close to the budget each area is.

Cons

Little things, like changing the company name - are more difficult than we would like (We used to be MSDSSAB but legally shortened it to MSDSB).
A management financial reporting tool with live access - to premade reports - without paying an arm and a leg would be appreciated.
More training opportunities in local areas - or nearby - would be appreciated...

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it is well suited to companies with more than 50 employees and a dedicated finance department staff... but it is expensive to maintain and it does tend to be customized to the will of the finance department lead/manager - which can make transition an issue for the successor when the time comes.

Sage 300 Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

March 14, 2018

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently utilizing Sage 300 ERP for our job cost, lien waivers, general ledger and cash management. It is being used mainly by our accounting and finance department to track our job cost and cash flow across 6 divisions. It is easy to use and performs reliably. It is also easy to modify the reports to obtain the information you are looking for to make informed business decisions.

Pros

The installation directions are clear and easy to follow.
The ability to import and export data is also easy allowing you to perform mundane tasks easily and efficiently.
The security features allow you to fine tune the permissions for the end users so that they cannot see data that you do not want them privy to.

Cons

The interface can be a bit tricky sometimes as you have to use Tab to move from one field to the other. It would be nice if they indicated that on the page or if you could simply use the enter key.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for paying the bills and monitoring the job cost but could improve in the area of how the credit cards are handled. It would be nice if you could import the credit card transactions from the web instead of manually entering them.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage 300 ERP as our construction division solution. It helps us track all information related to our construction projects. We use AP, AR, Job cost, Billing, and General Ledger. This system is integrated with our corporate accounting system.

Pros

Cons

Likelihood to Recommend

This is a product that is well suited for mid-sized construction companies. Smaller companies may find this product very expensive.
