Sage Fixed Assets Reviews & Insights

We run a full ERP system from another provider. It fulfills most of our needs, however, it lacks a good, fixed asset system. It does not calculate depreciation accurately for our business. We use Sage to track fixed assets and the depreciation on our Fixed Assets and we found that Sage picks up the slack in that area nicely.

To me, the best use case for Sage Fixed Assets are: 1. you run a Sage based ERP. or 2. you have an ERP that is limited in its Fixed Asset abilities. We have not done any integration per se, but if we did, it would be fairly easy given the fact that Sage uses SQL tables.

Our finance department uses Sage FAS to keep track of inventory and financial assets. We are in the process of transferring our data to another application but still use Sage FAS for our main fixed asset tracker. We have over 200 companies in FAS and about 15 users that use it on a daily basis.

I believe that Sage is not suited well for our company because we are too large. To add new users we have to go into all 200+ companies and add their access individually. This is time-consuming and not a good way to manage access.

We use Sage Fixed Assets to handle the organization, tracking, and depreciation for all of our domestic organizations' fixed assets. Additionally, it is used by our tax department in handling the various, and ever growing, complexities of tax depreciation. It provides a central repository where calculations and transfers may be completed.

I'm just not likely to recommend Sage Fixed Assets to another user. I've not used another system before, but I cannot imagine that another system out there could be less user friendly. The reporting system is clunky at best. Additionally, a primary feature of the system is the asset import system that more or less requires an advanced SAGE degree to figure out and use. It's just not intuitive and really is lacking in basic functionality, leaving users to spend copious amounts of time repeating the same processes over and over.
