    If you are a big company and have an active accountant then this system can be for you, it has many options but you need dedication. But the price starts from €39 and then you are not there...Most of the time you need other options to make it complete. Like ERP functions + €199~ want to book hours? +€129. And this is all per month... It goes up so fast that it's not interesting for small companies. When there are better options on the market that are even free...

    Sage 100 has been well suited for running the monthly accounts receivable and accounts payable aging reports. This helps us track our accounts that need to be collected and payments that need to be made. Our field operations team has been slow and unwanting to adopt the Sage Field Ops just because they're resistant to change and technology. It's less appropriate for really detailed accounting reports spanning for long periods of time with all accounts because it takes a very long time to run and process.

    Cons
    Exact Software
    • Support... It's bad, and when you want to stop or step back it's near impossible.
    • Price, they tend to increase it without warning, and with all the extras it goes up fast.
    • If you wanna spend all your time in accounting buy Exact... It can be complex and many handlings needs to be done.

    • Sage 100 at times will simply not connect to our server, we get remote support & all is well but, that issue tends to happen 2-3X a year.
    • Other than the above, I really can't complain. Coming from a more custom U.V. type database that used a whole bunch of codes to navigate, I think Sage 100 is 10x easier to use.

    Overall Sage 100 has been pretty user friendly. If we have a question on anything, we are able to contact our implementation rep who helps us right away. Some of the Sage Field Operations may not be as intuitive for our field personnel to use. I wish the reports ran faster so that we could run and put together many reports quickly at once.

    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    Exact Software
    I would not select Exact Online, but I can direct you to better options. Due to the high price, getting behind the competition and support I would suggest options like Zoho Books for you bookings, or CyberStockroom as ERP. And here in the Netherlands e-boekhouden.nl is a real nice, cheap, and fast working booking platform for the smaller companies.

    Return on Investment
    Exact Software
    • Negative: High costs and implement time turned 1 client in to the negative, and after 2 years of use wants to stop.
    • Positive: Once an ERP connection is running you can automate a lot in the process.
