I like the simplicity of the system and the similarities to Quickbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that there is not an import feature for data like Journal Entries, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a well rounded software. It can be used by various departments and not just accounting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could be difficult to work around it sometimes and if we needed help figuring out how to use it we had to pay a consulting fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ITS SUPERUSER FRIENDLY, LOVE THE FILTERS IN LOOK UP TABLES Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IT IS EXPENSIVE, BUT FOR THE RIGHT SIZE BUSINESS IT ONE OF THE BEST Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its great for a large company because your able to isolate data to a specific office. It has great internal controls and reporting for audit purposes. It was also great for reporting as you're able to easily pull historical data and export data to pdf/excel. It also has every section categorized, so it was straightforward when you need to create or post anything. I also liked that your able to save your personal reporting filters and also share filters to easily collaborate with people remotely. There so much information that you can find everything you need. We were also able to process anything we needed, we rarely had issues because we knew tricks and how to get the most of it. I would say it took a couple months to get a full handle of the system.

It is not user friendly. It is definitely a system you have to be curious about since it has so much functionality it can be easy to get lost/confused. It was also hard navigating from different tasks, it will let you pull different reports at the same time, but when it came to posting anything, it would crash if try to pull up another task. Our PM's really hated creating PO's as it really isn't great for someone that doesn't understand financial systems and sometimes wit would reject creating a PO, but doesn't provide a reason why. It was also not compatible with Mac's so we would need to run it on a remote desktop which was also pretty finicky. There definitely needs to be more reasoning why it doesn't want to post or process something or have a easy user guide with all the errors. It is also not visually appealing.

Sage 500 ERP is a solution that utilizes the Microsoft SQL Server platform. Because of this it allows for many reporting and integration options that can make this product continue to be viable even though Sage has decided to reduce the new development efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest downside to this product is that Sage has decided to limit future development of the product and it is now in Maintenance Mode. They will update the product to keep it current with Windows Operation System and Microsoft SQL Server releases, but new features are truly limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very flexible and suited for multiple types of manufacturers and distribution organizations. High quality of depth for product inventory classifications and warehousing options. Manufacturing module is similar. High detail BOM and interaction for real time material validation. High quality Financials matching that of Tier 1 ERP Financials.

Sage seemed to shift focus to the X3 product at the end of my career with MAS 500 in 2012. The user community is a strong group of committed users and works with Sage for ongoing support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software makes posting Vouchers in the ERP database pretty simple. There is a lot of functionality this product can do, but the learning curve is pretty steep. The database is alphabetized and makes finding your data fairly easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesn't integrate well at all. It is not supported well at all. For instance, I have been working on an integration and had to contact their customer support up to 2 - 3 times a week and my problem was never answered. My company purchased the Data Import Manager module but their support was never able to get it working. I wasted 3 months of work trying to get it work. Complete waste of money.

I like the continued improvements Sage continues to make in all their modules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe that some of Sage still needs improvements to become more current and intuative to the user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
