PB Phillip B. Purchasing Agent Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/14/2022 "Estimation for Purchasing duties" 4/5 What do you like best about Sage Estimating? Sage Estimating is most helpful in being able to translate measurements, counts and generic takeoff data into purchase orders, cost data and enhancing the Sage suite of construction tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sage Estimating? Sage Estimating is not as user-friendly and intuitive as other takeoff softwares. While it offers flexibility in how one would account for takeoff data, it does not offer many visual tools to assist in the field. It seems more intended for office use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sage Estimating solving and how is that benefiting you? Sage Estimating allows for purchasing duties to be fulfilled and executed. It will connect your takeoff data to vendor pricing and information and allow for purchase orders to be generated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Technical Support Specialist Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/23/2021 "Tough learning curve for some but all over quality estimating software." 4/5 What do you like best about Sage Estimating? The software is very complete and well made. Perfect for the technologically inclined estimators that want to put out quality work that is extremely accurate.

"Sage has the capacity for success, but there's something missing." 3/5 What do you like best about Sage Estimating? Sage can allow you to document quantities in all different organizational formats from being the project/area type (new, remodel, etc.) to uniformat or masterformat division organization. It has it's own database that can be helpful at times and includes a lot of items that can be documented accurately for each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sage Estimating? Sage does not have a system for actually doing the quantity takeoffs, so my company uses other PDF readers to count the items, then transfers the information into Sage. If you can imagine, this is a long process and can be fixed by incorporating a system like OST or Bluebeam into the program. It also doesn't look visually appealing, compared to other programs it is lacking a few years. The program visually doesn't have much variation for tracking quantities. Everything is simply black and white with some teal highlighting. This can be changed but it is a hassle that Sage should work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sage Estimating: It definitely get's the job done, but you have to be willing to have multiple programs in addition open to help you get that success. It takes time to get used to the program and its quirks, but once you have it, it is very effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sage Estimating solving and how is that benefiting you? As noted above, since we cannot use Sage as a quantity take-off program, we have to incorporate other programs which after a while of getting used to, works pretty efficiently. The benefits of Sage is the knowledge and database of prices of all kinds of items in the construction industry. It is very lenient with units of measurement that you're using.

Estimator Construction Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/17/2017 "Sage 300 " 4/5 What do you like best about Sage Estimating? Building an estimate framework is quick and easy. Database can be tailored to suit the needs of your specific niche or core work type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sage Estimating? We are a relatively small company with an emphasis on renovations and remodels. In our model we don't use a vast majority of the horsepower behind Sage 300. So...I guess this isn't a knock on the software so much as it's a statement about it's usefulness in a given application. My advice to a company looking at estimating software would be to assure that Sage is congruent with your need....because they'll sell it to you whether it is or not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sage Estimating solving and how is that benefiting you? The ability to run job cost reports showing actual costs versus estimated costs is a great tool for staying on budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
