Avis clients sur Sage 300cloud

We have owned and used this software extensively since 2012.

Avantages:

Standardization. We were doing a lot of process work through excel, word, email, etc. This forced us to standardize how we operated and gave our clients a consistent experience over multiple projects. Job costing is capable of being more accurate than we need.

Inconvénients:

Lack of significant improvements to the software given the annual support and maintenance amount paid. Features tend to be minor with more significant improvements coming in the form of additional optional products for purchase.

Sage 300

Commentaires: Overall the program is satisfactory.

Avantages:

The modules are easy to use . The screens are easy to navigate and they are user friendly. there is excellent audit tracing for each module.

Inconvénients:

The reports are minimal. The more useful reports require you to purchase a separate license for Sage intelligence which is very expensive. the stock reports require another software program (Crystal reports ) in order to modify them. The set up screens for the customer and vendor screen do not allow for more than one email address which reduces the ability to email directly from Sage. The payroll module does not email EFT check reports to employees. You have to buy another program in order to do this (Print Boss). Overall there is a hefty price tag to purchase all the modules and add on programs to use. If you can stay with Simply, then you should.

The work of SAGE 300 ERP with Me in Lusaka, Zambia

Commentaires: We were trying to address the issue of going green meaning working in a paperless environment.
We benefit in many ways as we had reduced on stationery cost, and work become faster as processes were integrated in the systems.
It still requires improvement and the environment in which it works does not fully support or become compatible with local Vendors.
The advice I would give to others is that they need careful planning so that they only ask for installation of packages suitable for their environment.

Avantages:

It automates manual work of processing purchase orders and eliminates physical postage of paper documents to third party (Suppliers). It integrates separate pieces of transactions into one, making work easy and shorten the overall time spent on processing one simple transaction e.g. Purchase requisition is generated by someone else then converted into a purchase order without altering many details. The system is able to make basic or advanced calculations of cost and taxes hence eliminating the burden of errors and omissions.

Inconvénients:

It is somehow expensive to run as it requires a perpetual subscription to be made. It is a system that cannot just be installed on the PC for a lifetime. Room for improvement is still available because it has a lot of steps (clicking is too much). We could not achieve the go-green aim as most of the time we were printing out physical copies of contracts as the environment in which we used the system did not have many vendors connected to the internet.

reports could have more options and easier to create new ones

Generally the product is fine with no flaws. The integration with other products is seamless. No clitches.

Sage 300 Cloud - Works OK - Does not feel like true cloud software

Avantages:

It account principles are sound. It is fairly ease to use.

Inconvénients:

Clumsy to Use. Needs to be re written to be true cloud software.

Sage300 and why you should use it

Commentaires: We use it as our basic accounting package for dealing with all of our vendors and all of our clients.

Avantages:

It has all of the basic features of a full accounting system including AP, GL, AR, Sales order, Inventory mgmt.

Inconvénients:

Customization is not simple to do. It is not simple to add new forms or understand the table structures. Table names are very short and obsure.

ultimate cloud financial application software

Commentaires: good

Avantages:

Connection from the cloud server where Sage is hosted to workstation is smooth.

Inconvénients:

2factor authentication should be enforced to login on the client side

Fustrations

Commentaires: Not used

Avantages:

Wide arrange of functionality. Data is well protected from wandering fingers. Security seems good as well. A solid platform that rarely has issues

Inconvénients:

Lack of systems administrator training, outside of the use of your consultant. Little to no self-learning of the real nuts and bolts of the system. The consultant tells me it is to complex to learn that way. This is incorrect I can learn Microsoft SQL that way, the possibility of being way more complex. Data tables are old in structure and hard to function with. For example, I have to use address line 4 for emails because the email field is in a different table. Shipping software integration can read from both. Expensive website integration because of the complexity and lack of standards in the SQL database. It can get expensive because many things require expert assistance and new modules. It does lack the ease of use for retail sales. Opening modules can be slow.

Sage 300Cloud review

Avantages:

Pros: Solid audit trail, Easy to use, Reliable business logic

Inconvénients:

Virtually No capability of exporting Master Data (Customer, Vendor, Items) to Excel Virtually No capability to import transactions (Orders, Purchase Orders, Invoice, Payment, etc) from Excel. Not enough default report (Most of the reports are there from Accpac DOS!!!!, where there was no capability to store the data more than 1 year.) Frequent price increase (Netsuite is cheaper than Sage 300)

Average performance

Commentaires: It is an average accounting system but need to offer more user-friendly reporting features,

Avantages:

It is good upgrade from ACCPAC when we moved over to Sage 300. Some sort of continuity is allowed for the users. It performed generally satisfactorily.

Inconvénients:

Need to do more customization on financial reporting and daily transaction processing reports.

We switched from Sage BusinessWorks to Sage 300 last year at the office with very mixed results.

Commentaires: Ultimate the primary reasons we upgraded to Sage 300 were to automate the receiving of EDI orders from our largest customers (Walmart, Amazon, etc) and to facility an automated shipping label generation process and it has accomplished those things relatively well.

Avantages:

It makes things like receiving and bulk printing sales orders via EDI channels much faster and easier than they were before during our 20 year run with Sage BusinessWorks.

Inconvénients:

It's made some things much easier, in fact things that we needed to become easier in order to continue in business, but has added a layer of complexity to manual order processing functions making these much more difficult to manage. The consensus at the office is that BusinessWorks was easier to use for purposes like keying in orders, invoicing orders manually and then bulk printing or emailing those invoices, etc.

Its ok.

Commentaires: its works for us day to day and after 3 years of customizing this software its at a place where we like it. However I'm not sure it is something we will stick with long term.

Avantages:

It has great security features and can include a lot of customization.

Inconvénients:

All these customizations are very expensive and some features feel like they should be out of the box but are not.

Proven Reliability Over The Years

Commentaires: We are very happy with Sage 300

Avantages:

We have used Sage since 1996 and have been part of and used most of the upgrades throughout the years. Realiability comes to mind and the ease of the overall upgrade process.

Inconvénients:

The only aspect of the software was in the issuance of reports that can be considered one-time only printing. With the last few upgrades, I noticed that this has now been removed for most of the reports which is great for historical ease of reference.

Very Dated from IT Analyst's Perspective

Commentaires: I would love to blame this application on being dated but I have even older software than this running with no issues on Windows 10. Unfortunately this was badly done 20 years ago and they have not bothered to invest much in it ever since.

Avantages:

Our users don't complain about it too much, unless it breaks. It has run our School's finances for years

Inconvénients:

Its so badly written and dated. The program has real issues with installing and conflicts with Windows basic securities. For example it does not like being installed in the usual programs folder, you have to run a batch file after the install to overwrite the DLL security, there is another registry hack you have to use to allow a non computer administrator to run the program. When it sends emails out it is seen by the Outlook as a virus and blocks it. I was hoping the latest versions but their annual upgrade just gave the ability to add notes in some fields. Despite building a clean Windows 10 build I have never got their dated reporting to work on it, even though the exact same install procedure worked on Windows 8.1. We have a supposedly good support contract with them but they basically told me they have it working and blamed Microsoft and me.

Sage 300

Avantages:

We use the General Ledger/ Accounts Payable & Purchasing / Asset Management modules of the Sage 300 product and everyone in are organization that works with this product responds on how easy it is to work through. My favorite part is the transfer of data to excel for reconciliations and reporting.

Inconvénients:

have not found anything that we do not like yet.

Archaic not user friendly late keeping up with new technology

Avantages:

The project management portion of the software appeared at first to be a good tool. the more we worked with the product, the more we disliked it. Very difficult to find information, not good reports to show complete picture of job profitability, have to assemble different reports to come up with good clear picture of job cost status. the accounting software portion is archaic, again extremely hard to work with, archaic system, very ineffective and incurred substantial loss of productivity.

Inconvénients:

Must spend on training to understand how to navigate through the software and find the information we need. It is evident that the software provided neglected reinvesting in this product and making it user friendly and up to par with other software on the market today.

User Since 2012

Avantages:

I like the interface of the software that makes it easy for the person inputting information to navigate the screens.

Inconvénients:

If I am both an approver and an data entry employee I can approve my own GL, AP, etc entries. This has proven to be an internal control issue when our auditors are documenting our systems and controls.

We began working with Sage 300 in June 2017

Commentaires: More detail reporting. Also the ability to personalize the reporting to the property and company.
Bank Reconciliation is quicker. JE are easier to use.

Avantages:

I like the idea that the Software can grow with our company. After a short learning curb I am able to create reports that are needed with little assistance. With Acumen assistance it was a pleasant change from our previous software. Many things are just easier to get done in less time. Bank Reconciliation is a major factor.

Inconvénients:

It took a a couple of months for our staff to feel comfortable with the change. Looking for information in reports and understanding the software. But once they got over the change all has been smooth.

Sage 300 - More than just a software

Commentaires: Great!

Avantages:

Sage has been our go-to software for accounting and financials for the last 10+ years. The updates that came with 300-cloud are incredibly efficient and easy to use.

Inconvénients:

The layout and feel is very dated. An update to the look would make a huge difference, especially with the younger-users.

Good accounting package with lots of easy to use excellent features

Avantages:

Ease of use, lots of good features, simple reporting works very well. For the price it tracks job costing very well.

Inconvénients:

We have tried some of the new features such as business intelligence. We have ran into issues that do not seem to have easy solutions. I would wait until it has been up and running for a couple of years next time.

Sage 300Cloud

Avantages:

It is Cloud based, easy to use. the features it has on saving documents and search feature that has been installed for future use and record keeping.

Inconvénients:

Haven't used long enough to identify any upgrades to this

Avantages:

The Intelligence reporting was very useful specially consolidating multiple company financial statements

Inconvénients:

The Bank Services module which requires a third party app to upload bank statements

Very helpful

Commentaires: Very good and helpful specially for generating custom reports. Functions good with MISys although fragile with MISys version 6.4.3.3

Avantages:

Integrates good with MISys, Order entries, reports generation works fine.

Inconvénients:

Fragile with MISys version 6.4.3.3, not sure MISys issue or Sage's.

The Perfect ERP

Avantages:

I like how it makes the entire business cycle seamless. It is also really good at integrating with many available options.

Inconvénients:

It can take a while to learn the various aspects of the program, but once you do it is amazing.
