User Testimonials
	HomebuilderONE	Sage 500 ERP
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Sage is wonderful for payroll and employee management. Although it has the capabilities to be a one-stop-shop program, it seriously lacks the interface necessary for wide use. I've had to consult Sage professionals on numerous occasions to explain and walk me through the program as there are so many redundancies. This program has wonderful potential, but they need to update the software and user interface before I can recommend it to any colleague. Incentivized J. Mickey Merguerian Project Controls Manager Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Payables and receivables handled beautifully Projects has the reporting capabilities we need Cash management is easy to do Incentivized Lisa Kuta Accounting/Software Administrator Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	The application is very functional, but the interface is a little "stale" compared to more modern applications. The underlying client software is written in an old version of Microsoft Visual Basic. I suppose SOME DAY, Microsoft will be discontinuing, although Microsoft has its own ERP software written in that same code. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We will renew our investment in Sage 500, mostly because the competition is very expensive and are bloated with options that are not needed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	I have been using Intacct for almost 10 years in 2 different companies and I just simply love it. I tried SAP (GUI) and Netsuite and they dont come close to what Ive seen. Incentivized John Wilhite General Accountant Read full review
Online Training	No answers on this topic	The online training courses are not up to date. We experienced technical issues with two of the classes. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Keep your database and application in different servers. Install Microsoft Office on your application server so you can use some of the data analysis tools in Sage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	500 seems much smoother at handling some of the basic accounting tasks, for example both issuing and later reconciling checks in Dynamics AX seems a little tedious. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Efficiency - enhanced automation Cost reduction - simple workspace is enough Incentivized John Wilhite General Accountant Read full review
