Excellent Software

My experience with this software was excellent. I had used a basic Sage Accounting software for years and before Sage bought this particular accounting software, it was Peachtree. I loved it.

PROS

Reporting is excellent. User friendly. Ease of teaching employees. online forums are spot on for good information. Immediate help via chat or calling with more difficult issues. I love that they can help by driving my computer when I could not figure out an issue. They take fixes seriously for the next update. Very professional looking invoicing and reporting and very easy to get exactly what you need without a bunch of drop downs and reconfiguring of the crystal reports.

CONS

There is actually nothing I dislike about this software. It is by far my favorite accounting software.

Sage 100 Contractor is a value adding 'asset'

Real and full visibility and near real time results. Utterly refreshing and makes my job that much easier. Excellent reporting.

PROS

Sage 100 C offers employment costing solutions. Following budgets vs. real expenses is crucial in the construction sector, and Sage 100 Contractor assists us (my client and i) in meeting this demand.

CONS

Data migration form the old software and Implementation was full of glitches but the client support were always available and willing to assist.

Reason for choosing Sage 100 Contractor

The high level of product support form the service provider. In addition to wanting you to utilize their product, their customer service personnel also wants you to be successful in whatever goal you have for it.

Reasons for switching to Sage 100 Contractor

Unreliability. Inaccurate financial reporting as a result of an aged and un-updated software.

Wouldn't Recommend for a Specialty Contractor

We use Sage 100 for all of our accounting/payroll/purchasing/subcontracting and project management.

PROS

I've been using the software for seventeen years --- drill down works great --- generally intuitive to use. Can teach others to use in a short time.

CONS

Reports are needing serious work that Sage just won't change, Some work arounds that we implemented when we first started using the product are STILL required seventeen years later. There are also STILL issues within the program that Sage just can't fix. Have had to hire third party consultants to help with some issues and reports.

Reason for choosing Sage 100 Contractor

Seventeen years ago we were just getting started. Price/Functionality were a huge consideration. To say we've grown out of it is not a fair statement because we are still using the program.

Vendor Response

Thank you for submitting a product review. Your feedback is invaluable to the continued improvement of products and services from Sage.

Quick Easy Construction Accounting

PROS

We upgraded from an antiquated program called Great Plains we had used for 25 years, there was no way to integrate or move our data to Sage. The process to get started was fairly easy, it was just a matter of reentering all our payable, receivable and setting up our GL. Once we got trained on it we found ways to streamline our work load.

CONS

The thing I liked the least was setting up my GL, they gave me way too many accounts and after entering them all, I discovered that I needed to delete half of them, they did not work for our business.

Reason for choosing Sage 100 Contractor

Ease of entry and the program was 1/4 the cost from Microsoft Dynamics

Reasons for switching to Sage 100 Contractor

Our system was outdated and our GL got corrupted

Sage 100 Contractor

Overall, we are happy with the product although we do not use it to its fullest.

PROS

Most like the payroll software. Very easy and has a lot of extra features such as ability to do certified payrolls.

CONS

Finding some of the reports is counter-intuitive. Often we really have to search from what we are looking for - and sometime there is no report. Happens for audits when we are asked to provide a few years worth of data.

Reasons for switching to Sage 100 Contractor

Too limiting with number of jobs that could be set up.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your business and look forward to helping drive your continued success in construction and real estate.
