    We have used Foundation and it did not work out well, so we selected Sage 100 because the implementation and functionality was much better. We didn't have to keep coming up with workarounds or complications on Sage 100. Also the data security is better.

    The system i used prior was custom built & was named "UV" - It was a very base level system that allowed users to navigate by typing prompts / number codes. While it did what it needed to do, It wasn't efficient as you'd be referencing your code book directory all day to find …

    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 …

    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.

    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 …

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Sage
    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.

    Pros
    Sage
    • Simple to implement and use. Operation very intuitive so new employees are quickly trained.
    • It is very flexible with many modules and many features allows for easy customization to suit particular needs of any department or company.
    • Context sensitive help, training and support make it easy for a company to operate with out a lot of additional outside tech support.
    • Scalable plenty of room to grow as the business grows without being bloated.
    • Pricing is very reasonable.

    Cons
    Sage
    • 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.

    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
    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    Sage
    • Sage 100 overall had a very positive overall ROI for the business. All users were making decisions based on the same information and valuable time was no longer spent trying to analyze data from a number of sources.
    • Moving the warehouses to using Sage 100 reduced the operating expense of the distribution side of the business by 5% on an annual basis (~$100K).
