"Great MRP Performance with Robust Integrations in a Single Source of Data"

5/5

What do you like best about Sage X3?

The performance on the MRP function supported by the Supply Chain Management is great and capable to manage complex scenarios. Having everything into one single sourth of data is very important. The capability to integrate with other available appplications is robust. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

I have seen other applications that have a better UI/UX experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cheap ERP, But Outdated UI, Slow Performance, and Abysmal Support"

1/5

What do you like best about Sage X3?

I feel like Sage X3 is one of the cheaper options for an ERP. Despite not being a great ERP, it is fairly cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

The UI in Sage X3 feels very outdated, like an early 2000’s product. It’s also very difficult to integrate outside applications with it. Performance is extremely slow, and support when issues come up is absolutely abysmal. On top of that, our version doesn’t even include AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Help Desk, but the Web Menu and Payments Options Are Confusing"

3/5

What do you like best about Sage X3?

I have found that the help desk is pretty efficient. I have a rather responsive rep (Jaleidy Tannenbaum) who usually has my concerns sent to the proper party within 12 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

The menu when using the web browser is very confusing. I do not understand why there are 5 different options under "payments and receipts" rather than 2. Differentiating between check and wire seems unnecessary. These sorts of issues seem pervasive (tied for least favorite is the multiple places purchasing invoices are found) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Customizable, Needs Better Access to Tools"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Sage X3?

I like the capability of customization in Sage X3. It's great that every business can customize it as needed, alongside the ERP's out-of-the-box functionalities. This flexibility helps in solving day-to-day business processes and issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

I think there's a lack of access to test new functionalities and complete training sessions. We only have documentation but no videos to help start with new products. Despite having access to Sage University, it's the same issue—plenty of documentation but lacking in video resources. This makes it tough to make the most of new capabilities.

What do you like best about Sage X3?

Transactions flow through in a very logical manner so debugging anomalies is really not terribly difficult, when it needs to be done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

Its a mature and fully featured package that supports many industries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

I don't personally find their help features very easy to use. Field, function and record help options are available on about every function but they don't always provide as much help as I would like to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable for Operations, Setup Needs Improvement"

3/5

What do you like best about Sage X3?

I like that Sage X3 is mostly reliable and easy to use, which removes one worry from daily operations and allows us to focus on our core business. We don't encounter too many issues with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

I find financial reporting a bit weak without add-ons. Period control is also rigid. The initial setup wasn't very easy, it took a bit of work and was definitely harder than Sage 500. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi, Sean. We're genuinely sorry you're not getting the support you deserve. This is not the experience we want our customers to have. If you let me know the partner through which you purchased X3, I'll gladly reach out to them and provide this feedback -- and hopefully we can get you back on track.

"Automation That Saves Hours and Eliminates Manual Errors"

4/5

What do you like best about Sage X3?

What used to take hours of manual data entry now happens automatically. The time saved goes toward work that actually matters.

Errors that used to slip through during manual processing are essentially gone fewer chargebacks, fewer strained relationships.

Getting connected to new trading partners is straightforward. What seems like it should take weeks typically wraps up much faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sage X3?

High learning curve, cumbersome intercompany transactions, and technical team frustrations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
