### "Sage 100 - Great Software for the Value"

September 10, 2025

4.0

My overall experience with Sage 100 was positive. The software offered all the functionality that was needed to the team.

Pros

What I liked best about Sage 100 was the value and the support offered. The software met all my reporting needs.

Cons

What I liked least about Sage 100 was that it did not offer an cloud based services for remote access for myself and the team.

We've been using Sage 100 for over 25 years. As our business has changed and grown, Sage 100 has meet all of the accounting challenges we have faced.

Pros

Strong audit trail of transactions. Large group of Master Developers that have add-ons to meet any challenges in accounting that may arise - example EDI processing.

Cons

Proprietary database. Not a real-time database for transactions - it is a batch processing system. SQL solutions not as robust as their proprietary database solution.

March 23, 2026

4.0

The overall experience with the Sage 100 is powerful. Allow management to customize the reports as per the need.

Pros

Sage 100 is a complete professional accounting software system. The system is available with a monthly low-cost maintenance.

Cons

There are issues with the software updates along with the additional cost associated with it. There are issues needed to be sorted out with the customer representatives which is not good

### "An all in one solution to accountancy and orders"

January 27, 2026

3.0

In the end we kept using Sage for a long time for our accountancy side o0f the business. our accountant was fully trained on this and was able to train others so it made sense. We went and got alternative softwarew for the placing and receiving orders side of the business. If you did just want to get one piece of software though, it can do it all.

Pros

We used Sage 100 in two ways. We used it for the accountancy side and we also used it as our ordering software. As an accountancy package it was great. It took me a little bit longer to learn than some other programmes but in it's defence it was the first software of this type I had ever used. It served more than one functiona s a business when we started.

Cons

When it came to using it as our ordering software (both orders coming in and PO's for purchases) it seemed quite a long process compared to software we have used since which is specifically tailored to this function.

### "Education Using Sage 100"

January 20, 2026

5.0

I started using Simply Accounting over 20 years ago in my accounting courses. It has now evolved into Sage 50 and into Sage 100. This program still out does the accounting principles of other programs. Thank you Sage!

Pros

Sage 100 uses GAAP, generally accepted accounting principles, in every small business this is a must use tool. Sage has provided the program to the school system as educational partners. I know several past students who now use Sage in their daily lives because they learned the program in high school

Cons

Sometimes the program is difficult to install in a school setting in our lab environment. With that being said I fully understanding the licensing is a difficult thing to keep track digitally.

I've been using Sage100 for over 25 years. I am quite happy. The upgrade process is easy. The features are rich.

Pros

rich features, scalable module approach, user friendly. The premium version use Microsoft SQL as data backend can satisfy huge data volumne.

Cons

It need some training because the setup options could be overwhelming. It might be difficult for users who do not have accounting background.

Pros

The accounting reports. AP and AR are easy to use.

Cons

Don't get involved with this company. They are horrible. $1,200 per year for customer support and they don't even have a phone number to call. You chat online with someone, they send you articles from Google and tell you to figure out the issues with THEIR software yourself

### "Sage 100 the good and the bad!"

January 10, 2025

5.0

I personally love it, and it is very user friendly, but because I had the local (not web based) version I could only get to log in VIA remote etc... but it suited everything I needed for my company.

Pros

sage is very develop-able and can be adjusted to do all your needs, ( only with a Great Re-seller )

Cons

the least I like about sage is that in order to really get an understanding of the software you must have an awesome re-seller and there is only a handful (maybe a bit more) and they charge huge amounts of money to do the work.... so, it ends up being very pricey...

### "Poor Customer Service and Software"

February 26, 2025

1.0

Overall Poor upgrade from Sage 50 Accounting. Little to no support from customer service (usually just told to look in the knowledge base). At one point we stated to pay for outside help. There are much better options out there.

Pros

We used the contractor version of Sage 100. It was a nice all in one solution with everything in one place. Invoicing was pretty simple for our accounting to use.

Cons

Mobile app didn't do anything, it was extremely basic. Taxes were not actually calculated on employees pay (it still calculated it but didn't actually track it, just stopped at one point but only for a few and it wasn't caught), estimating module could use a lot of work to update it.

Switched from

### "Customizable and Scalable Sage 100"

February 2, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with Sage 100 has been generally positive, especially when it comes to its core accounting strength and flexibility. It’s a reliable system for organizations that need more than basic bookkeeping

Pros

It balances robust accounting functionality with flexibility and customization. Sage 100’s general ledger, accounts payable, and accounts receivable modules are solid and reliable. Customizable and Scalable

Cons

Although functional, the interface feels dated and not as intuitive as newer platforms. Sage 100 is still heavily desktop‑based Some reports are powerful but can be difficult to modify without advanced knowledge or external tools

### "Sage 100 Review"

May 15, 2020

5.0

We migrated from QuickBooks Enterprise to Sage 100 in 2015. We have had no regrets on this migration and believe we have much better control of our inventory which drives our financial results.

Pros

Sage 100 has all of the features that our small business needs. We require inventory management with bills of materials and work orders. Sage does an excellent job handling this.

Cons

It is not a case of dislike but more of under optimized. The general ledger system is not fully developed for drill down capability. All of the information is in a relational database but accessing inquiring type information is more cumbersome than it needs to be. We have written Crystal reports to accommodate this need.

Alternatives considered

[Dynamics 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/157279/Dynamics-365/)

Reason for choosing Sage 100

May 26, 2025

5.0

Doesn’t exactly welcome you in. Bit stiff, but once you’re in, it handles serious numbers without blinking.

Pros

Plenty of features, maybe more than you need. Can feel like it was built for someone with a bigger setup.

Cons

Takes clicks to get around. Not super intuitive, but if you stick to what you use often, it stays manageable.

### "Solid mid-market enterprise accounting system, with quirks"

March 5, 2019

4.0

Very solid system with a few frustrating quirks. You will need to host any version of Sage 100. Consider a cloud-based software as an alternative (Sage Intacct perhaps, although the price skyrockets compared to Sage 100).

Pros

\-very cost-friendly pricing for small or medium sized businesses. this is the biggest selling point for Sage to me - it beats Quickbooks as a more ERP level system but is still very reasonably priced -solid on standard accounting -multi-company/location/entity reporting -import/export works well -test company option helps new users acclimate -simple bank reconciliation module -security and role definitions -GL reports are very useful to financial experts

Cons

\-bank reconciliation doesn't force you to reconcile to the GL cash account. That defeats the purpose of a reconciliation... -there is almost no customizability to the financial statements. I guarantee you will need to export (Excel) or use a different software (Crystal Reports) to build your monthly financials. -Sage 100 products are hosted in-house, so in the age of the cloud, you will still need to purchase and support your own server, a pain for a small or medium sized business. -there are no "drill down" options in financial statements. That ability in Management Reporter was a huge plus in Microsoft Dynamics products. -Multi-fund reporting cannot be consolidated (unless this is an add on module we didn't purchase) -There are no reports that show unposted JEs -AP voids and invoice reversals are a NIGHTMARE. Seriously, my staff lose sleep over trying to never need to void a check in Sage. -Dashboards are basic. It feels very "old" as a system compared to new cloud-based options. -No auto reconciliation. I've heard that's a selling point of Xero.

### "Best Accounting Software"

May 1, 2023

4.0

Pros

Used Sage 100 for over 10 years across 2 different businesses. It is the best overall Accounting software that I have used. It is highly customizable and offers all of the features necessary to successfully manage all aspects of our company.

Cons

CRM integration would be the best addition that could be added to Sage 100. A single point of access rather than different software.

### "A FULLY INTEGRATED SOFTWARE SOLUTION"

May 7, 2020

5.0

Using Sage 100C has provided more flexibility to the workforce and has increased productivity over the old VPN solution. With an increase in work from home scenarios, this has proven to be a helpful addition to our software solutions in conducting business.

Pros

The program has many robust features with integrated billing, and having the ability to select batch or live processing allows us to be flexible with each department. The fact that you can modify areas of the software to support your own needs is a big positive in our book. Sage does a great job with reports and extracting data to excel. The fact that it fully integrates through GL makes it very easy to use within the entire organization.

Cons

I would like to see larger fields to capture pertinent information. Additional user-defined fields that can be integrated with report design would be a nice addition. The ability to modify the canned reports and turn them into a custom report would really be helpful.

Reason for choosing Sage 100

We have been very happy with the Sage products over the years, and have continued to upgrade instead of seeking a new solution that had similar or fewer tools available for our production needs.

### "Software that is easy to customize to fit your exact needs"

December 7, 2017

5.0

All in all, this is a good product with options for growth as your business needs change.

Pros

Sage 100 Advanced ERP allows you to create data fields that are unique to your business and have the data flow through the various processes and data files. We have added over 100 fields to our invoicing forms, and the data flows from the sales order to the invoice, to the accounts receivable history. The data entry screens are easily modified to add any custom fields you need. The forms for printing documents are also easily modified via Crystal Reports. We utilize Crystal Reports to perform error checking at the order entry point to alert the order entry and billing clerks if there any issues with the order that needs to be corrected. We check to see if purchase orders are required. If they are, is one on the order? We check to ensure the sales tax code is correct for the shipping address. There are easily a dozen things we check, all utilizing the tools built into Crystal Reports. We have been using this software since the mid-1990's and have upgraded year after year. The upgrades are much easier than they used to be and the features that have been added over the last few years are great additions to the software.

Cons

Some of the processes are more complicated than they need to be. Recording pre-payments on A/R or A/P invoices is a prime example. The process for both should be re-evaluated, and the process should be the same for any pre-payment that needs to be recorded. Some of the module pricing doesn't make any sense. The asset module is way too expensive when compared to other options available.
