User Testimonials
	Sage 100 Contractor
Likelihood to Recommend	Sage 100 Contractor is well suited for independent contractors (IC's) that want to learn a software that can be an end-to end solution. From estimates all the way to reporting, Sage 100 Contractor will provide the IC's with everything they need. There is however a learning curve and the person operating the software needs to be well versed in how each component operates and connects to the overall financial picture.

Pros	Job Cost Summary's are automatically updated and the user can drill down into the costs which is very helpful. Committed Cost Reports are very helpful in forecasting where our jobs will end up. The customization allows you to manipulate reporting and other features to suit your needs. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Some of the tax calculations, payroll steps had to be sorted out System glitches - sometimes boots you out of the system Incentivized Heather Bala HR Administrator Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	The cost of Sage 100 Contractor software is relatively inexpensive compared to some higher-priced options like Foundation and Microsoft Dynamics GP. But more importantly, the cost of implementing new software is costly. Implementation costs include testing and training. There are also risks involved with switching software such as missing data after conversion. Plus, there are always some unknown downsides to switching that are not apparent until the switch is made such as perceived capabilities that really don't exist. For these reasons, we will likely stay with Sage 100 Contractor for a long time. If we grow (say double) in size, we would consider other options. Incentivized TA Tina Antolik Office Manager Read full review
Usability	In the end there are tons of other products that are much better. Time cards don't work, we needed an external software to track this for employees. Estimation is cumbersome, we just used Excel. Payroll was ok, but didn't do employee taxes correctly when they make a certain amount for some reason. Overall, it's a bad product. Incentivized PG Paul Goetz Project Manager Read full review
Support Rating	If we ever have issues with Sage 100, the live chat is an awesome tool. However, most of our live chat inquiries are not because of the issues we have, but more for us to better understand how we are supposed to use the software. Sometimes we ask ourselves "what if we" and if we need guidance, the live chat will provide us with the answers or resources to figure out what we need. They always follow up to ensure the problems we encounter have been fixed. If our issue is an indicator of an upgrade that could be made, Sage 100 C offers a way to submit the idea for review and improvement of the software.

Alternatives Considered	Sage 100 Contractor is the best value with powerful features that we are happy with. It doesn't have everything we need but it does have the ability to add custom features that keep us running smoothly. Incentivized Matthew Diluzio CFO Read full review
Return on Investment	It's had mostly a positive impact - solutions to my problems with accounting integrity. Solutions for happier employees because they have portable time sheets. This makes me happier because I've made it work so I have less to do. I can quickly report on any project with a combination of software.
