    We are now migrating to Acumatica for a few main reasons:
    • Open API, which is admittedly not perfect but far superior to relying on a VM with an ODBC connection
    • Cloud-based enabling users to work from anywhere

    The pricing is low compared to other systems we have evaluated. However, we have not evaluated competitive software in some time.

    Sage 300 does not really have competition. The quality and services packed into it are why Sage is such a well-known name. Although others do have benefits as well, the overall package Sage 300 has to offer from an AR and AP standpoint makes it the clear option.

    In the case of Procore vs. Sage it's like apples and oranges. Procore is not an accounting software although they do offer some accounting tie-ins to Sage's data so it's possible for a company to use both but the cost of that is astronomical, Sage already having a larger …

    We have spent quite a bit of time in the last year evaluating a new system to see if this is the best fit for us. We currently use Procore for our project management tool and for our field crew to evaluate work on-site. However, Procore does not have a sufficient budgeting or …

    Connectwise is much more user-friendly, reporting features are more robust and exportable formats work well. I would choose Connectwise over Sage any day of the week.

    To be completely honest, I think Sage is worse than JD Edwards. The user interface is by far the worst I have seen in this industry. It's as if every other company lives in 2019 and Sage is living in 1998. The largest flaw I have seen in a program that debilitates the program …

    Sage is not at all well suited for small companies who want an agile, nimble setup for quick moving situations and mobile use. These type of companies should look elsewhere such as a SaaS offering from another vendor. In addition Sage is very expensive both in its initial outlay and ongoing support. Medium and larger sized companies benefit from a Sage install much more than the smaller constructor. Having the modules all work in unison is important when a company is of a certain size as is having the long tenured support structure. In addition Sage requires the terminals services setup to use it remotely and the larger companies are more likely to have the infrastructure and support for that type of setup

    Pros
    Sage
    • There are a lot of ways to drill down into information. The ability to run inquiries that can be easily exported into Excel is incredibly useful.
    • The help desk is very helpful. There are multiple ways to get a hold of someone and it is extremely useful.
    • The knowledgebase articles are very helpful and provide a lot of great detail.

    Usability
    Sage
    Sage is somewhat easy to use as far as its simplicity, however, when I first started using it I really wished there were more training materials available. As I did research to figure out what resources were there to learn how to use the paid software, all I found were courses you have to pay for. In my personal opinion, I don't think you should have to pay to learn how to use a software you bought.

    They have a very quick, responsive team that assists. They also have great higher-level engineers who assist in more complicated matters and all in all, you need a support team that is quick to respond when you are in the middle of business crises.

To make it a better product, a client facing portal would be best so they can be up to date.

    Sage
    • The accounting functions (AP, AR, GL) are mature so it does a great job with core financials. The reports are flexible so it does a good job of providing flexibility in report writing. The application is written for a workgroup so multiple people can use it at the same time. The transaction detail is strong so that a transaction can be rolled back if necessary.
