"Good in many places, challenging in others"

4/5

What do you like best about Sage Fixed Assets?

The detail in the asset input is exceptional. I can't think of any kind of depreciation book or method that is missed. The software has almost anything covered in that regard. There are many optional fields allowing user flexibility. The main screen allows a quick overview, with helpful sorting abilities to help find assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage Fixed Assets?

The most significant problem is the ability to get a report that is commonly needed for accounting purposes - either for financial or tax auditors. If there is number detail, often times descriptions are not included, requiring cross-referencing between asset numbers and asset descriptions. Different Audits require very different kinds of reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sage Fixed Assets:

Review the needs of the organization and match them to the reports. Find someone able to help with custom reporting if the system does not meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sage Fixed Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?

Depreciation of assets, disposal information and some reliance on the system for inventory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great program overall but still having issues with freezing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sage Fixed Assets?

Sage FAS has a lot of great features. I find their reporting to be accurate and reliable for depreciation and acquisitions. There are plenty of customizable fields to use if needed. The standard fields for assets are easy to understand and run reports with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage Fixed Assets?

There are a lot of year end functions missing in Sage FAS. I would like to be able to automatically schedule reports to run simultaneously at year end. I have the same 10 reports I need to run with the same specifications. I would like to be able to run these reports using a scheduler. At times the program freezes, I do not know why it happens and Sage Support cannot fix it either. It is very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sage Fixed Assets:

Sage Fixed Assets does a great job. But if you need software that is more customized for reporting I would look somewhere else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sage Fixed Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to use Crystal Reports with Sage FAS and this has allowed me to create more customized reports. I have a schedule of yearly reports that I run and I am now able to run them on command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Decent Product in a difficult field"

3/5

What do you like best about Sage Fixed Assets?

Safe Fixed Assets is a fast product with most of the options fairly easy to find Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage Fixed Assets?

This is likely just the nature of fixed asset software, but it still has a long way to go to become user friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sage Fixed Assets:

The thing with any fixed asset software is to not expect the program to be simple. Depreciation and asset tracking has all kinds of nuances, and selecting the wrong option can, unfortunately, screw everything up. It's no different with Sage Fixed Assets or any other depreciation software I've used.

That said, Sage has all the features we needed, handling depreciation in a relatively quick environment. The biggest problem we had was usually when we were importing the assets into the software, but if your using the product in your company and entering the assets in as they come, it should be much more straight forward.

Just make sure to do some reading up before you dive right it. It works well if you know what you're doing, but it takes a big before you can really know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sage Fixed Assets solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used this software to prepare and track fixed assets for various clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
