Cons

  • The reports
  • Imports

Return on Investment

  • 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.

It's the ERP where every process is managed. We are a manufacturing company and we use Sage X3 to control our production.

  • Invoicing

Cons

  • Profile management
  • Admin capabilities
  • Reporting
  • Data extraction
  • Imports

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use sage x3 as our ERP. It is our primary accounting software that we use to maintain our general ledger accounts, payables and finally prepare our financial statements. We track our revenue, expenses, profit and account balances thru Sage. Sage is our one stop shop for any accounting needs.

Pros

  • Easy to understand software for new users.
  • Journal entry and review process is easy.
  • Sage is efficient in tracking multi subsidiary transactions.

Cons

  • In my opinion, data export process is hard.
  • I think Sage x3 does not offer connectivity to a lot of software.
  • I htink the data import process is cumbersome.

Return on Investment

  • Sage was easy to setup when we got started.
  • Exporting data out of sage has been extremely hard.
  • Sage is quite fairly priced compared to other alternatives.

Pros

  • The user interface has everything you would expect and in practical locations so you do not have to hunt and peck for the items you are looking for
  • Drill-down from GL to submodules works seamlessly
  • Easy import and export of data
  • The software is relatively easy to manage

Cons

  • 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)

Return on Investment

  • Created efficiencies within the organization.
  • Centralized data input and retrieval.
  • Can be an expensive undertaking for an SMB.
