Ridder iQ vs. Sage X3

The best in the complete production process. It provides the correct info in a very usable way. It is pretty good in sales, but the lack of discounts for sales goods and sales production is not ideal. On the other hand, ECI provides an excellent service for looking for custom solutions where we need them. Dutch Translation: De beste in het complete productieproces. Het biedt de juiste informatie op een zeer bruikbare manier. Het is redelijk goed in de verkoop, maar het gebrek aan kortingen op verkoopartikelen en verkoopproductie is niet ideaal. Aan de andere kant biedt ECI een uitstekende service bij het zoeken naar maatwerkoplossingen waar we die nodig hebben.

We are a SaaS company but Sage is best suited for manufacturing companies. Sage worked well for us while we were small but as we continued expanding, from experience we had trouble with the system. In my opinion, Sage would be a lot better if it offered better connectivity and APIs for various other sofwares.

• Flexibility in setting budgets for specific parts of a project
• Insight in costs (journaldetails)(bookkeeping, however not Ridder financials)
• Sending out offers and order confirmation
• sending out purchase orders
• Flexibiliteit bij het vaststellen van budgetten voor specifieke onderdelen van een project
• Inzicht in kosten (journaalgegevens) (boekhouding, echter geen Ridder financials)
• Het versturen van offertes en orderbevestigingen
• het versturen van inkooporders

Incentivized

• Stock control
• Delegation of authorities
• Invoicing

• The ability to copy item lines from receipts to a BOM
• Adding photos to comment blocks in quotes makes the system slow. The photos are added in full size instead of asking for a small version.
• De mogelijkheid om artikelregels van ontvangsten naar een stuklijst te kopiëren
• Het toevoegen van foto's aan commentaarblokken tussen aanhalingstekens maakt het systeem traag. De foto's worden op volledige grootte toegevoegd in plaats van dat er om een ​​kleine versie wordt gevraagd.

• Complications in configuration. Had to use a third party vendor to help us customize the system so we could better use it within the organization. This added additional expense
• Some error messages are in French. If you aren't French, or can't speak French, this makes it pretty hard to troubleshoot
• If you want to customize reports, you need to know Crystal Reporting (at least for the version I am using)

Its nice software but it is very, very slow in webification and integration possibilities by using api's. Untill now the programm has client-server technology unfortunately. And there are far too less no code adjustments possible.

Ridder iQ is friendly to use. With the use of roles we can give a very good user experience to our employees; they are more in control of their tasks. Since we use Ridder iQ, the right information is available for everybody in our organization, all on demand. Dutch Translation: Ridder iQ is gebruiksvriendelijk. Door rollen te gebruiken, kunnen we onze medewerkers een zeer goede gebruikerservaring bieden; ze hebben meer controle over hun taken. Sinds we Ridder iQ gebruiken, is de juiste informatie voor iedereen binnen onze organisatie beschikbaar, direct beschikbaar.

It is very intuitive for new users.

Expert level of the support engineers is adequate. However in our opinion it does take a fair amount of time to respond

I didn't work here yet at the time of the implementation

Ridder iQ is specialized for our business and has people who bring a lot of knowledge to the table, so Ridder iQ is far more suited than a ERP solution which is not specilized in the make-industry. Furthermore, the customizability of Ridder stands out compared to solutions like ISAH. Therefore, the choice was an easy one, because knowledge and customizability are important criteria. Dutch Translation: Ridder iQ is gespecialiseerd in onze branche en heeft mensen met veel kennis in huis. Ridder iQ is daarom veel geschikter dan een ERP-oplossing, die niet gespecialiseerd is in de maakindustrie. Bovendien onderscheidt Ridder iQ zich qua aanpasbaarheid ten opzichte van oplossingen zoals ISAH. De keuze was dan ook snel gemaakt, want kennis en aanpasbaarheid zijn belangrijke criteria.

Unfortunately, the product was purchased before I began working at the organization. I am unsure what other products they may have reviewed before purchasing Sage ERP X3.

• Implement the business rules and forces them to be applied
• SDK is used 90% for managing all order inputs and product BOM
• The software tends to come to an halt for changes for on premise which is required of you have software/machines communicating to/from the ERP
• Implementeer de bedrijfsregels en zorg ervoor dat ze worden toegepast
• SDK wordt voor 90% gebruikt voor het beheren van alle orderinputs en product-BOM
• De software loopt vaak vast bij wijzigingen voor on-premises, wat vereist dat u software/machines hebt die met het ERP communiceren

• The positive impact is that we went from having several pieces of software to control the whole company to just one, with the savings in licensing and maintenance alone.
