Sage 300 vs. Thomson Reuters CS Professional Suite

I believe that Sage 300 ERP is appropriate for a wide variety of companies looking for a system to maintain information in a concise manner. The level of complexity with which it is used is determined by the user group. Therefore, this product is great for companies that are just starting to grow right through to more mature companies looking for detailed data and analytics from their systems.

Fixed Assets. CS offers an excellent selection of built-in asset and depreciation related reports including Asset detail, asset list, property detail, and much much more. They also have a ton of forms such as 4255,4562,4792 and other worksheets in the application. All these reports can be easily customized, which allows you to specifically tailor them to your company's client. They can also be exported to Excel as well.

• Although I do like the Bank Reconciliation module, I wish it was a bit more advanced and less clunky. Some transactions cannot be reversed and the module seems slower than others.
• When using copy and paste on all modules, sometimes I receive an error message and the program closes.

• Customization of some timestamp functions for a country other than the United States is relatively limited.
• As well as the Spanish language does not have support or usability on the platform, which although it is not a major inconvenience if it slows down the use for some of our collaborators.

It is a solid stable product with a large user community and large ISV community. Support and Training are easy to access and obtain and there is larger reseller channel to ensure the firm you work with is honest. It is scalable and there are multiple deployment and payment options.

Sage 300cloud is intuitive and user friendly after some training. It does require implementation and training but once that's done, this software is easy to use and navigate. Support for Sage 300cloud is spot on and offers assistance over the simplest to [the] most complex of tasks. Finding information or learning new tasks within Sage 300cloud is relatively easy and educational.

I give the rating of an 8 because the users in my company have little or no complaints when using the software. There are many features and add-ons for the program which allow for deep customization that they can tailor to each client individually which allows them to provide world-class services that help our firm succeed. On top of the features, implementation is seamless, and creating accounts is a breeze from the Administration side.

Support for Sage 300cloud is similar to Sage support. Depending on which channel you get to and which Specialist you get, the Support can be spot on and rapid. However, there can be wait times and [occasionally], new functionality isn't always well supported. Support documentation is great and [easily] accessible. Additionally, Support Consultants are great resources when it comes to learning and troubleshooting Sage 300cloud.

They are great, their support and knowledge in the implementation and after-sales service was really incredible.

Although the cost of its tailor-made reporting service is somewhat expensive and inflexible, once the survey was carried out and the plan was drawn up, it was fully fulfilled in a timely manner.

We miss a support in our native language, since we only find English as a means of contact with them.

Sage 300cloud is a great cloud/web based option when stacked against Sage 300 and Sage 100 Contractor. These other two systems are on premise and require licenses to access. Sage 300cloud can be accessed from any web page and is a pay as you go model. Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne and Oracle JD Edwards World are better for larger organizations that are heavy into Service and Work Order Management.

The support for the implementation and the customization services in custom reports made us decide on CS Professional Suite.

• Sage 300 ERP is the backbone of our organization - efficiently dealing with payroll and budgets in excess of 30 million dollars per year.
