Not for everyone, but a great accounting program
I've always had great luck with Sage 100. I have several clients who use it, and they're all quite happy with it. There IS a bit more of a learning curve to it if you've never worked with an accounting program before, but if you have some basic accounting knowledge, then it's fairly intuitive.
Pros
Performs well, gives great reports and such.
Cons
It's a bit more difficult to understand than some of its more pedestrian brethren.
Response from Sage
Hi Donnie. Thanks so much for leaving such a great review! We are so happy to hear how much you enjoy the program and how it works for your business. We are always striving to improve our product experiences so I will pass on to our teams that the user interface can be difficult to understand at times.

Gets the job done
It is inexpensive and not the worst accounting ERP tool to be stuck with, however, if you can afford it, you should upgrade.
Pros
It is not expensive and can get the job done.
Cons
It is a very old software. Slow and not a lot of modern functionality.

Very simple to use, from the first day I started working with it.

Sage 100 Accounting Software is Easy to Manage!
I have been supporting Sage 100 for years and able to maintain and patch on our schedule to accommodate us better.
Pros
I like the interface and setup of Sage 100. It makes it helpful to control the maintenance and patching of the servers locally.
Cons
There are times when we would like to have more support for local resources and have not been able to find it.
Response from Sage

It was ok, but not a fan of it for daily use.

Amazing ERP tool
It is a great ERP tool for small to medium sized organization who are looking more than just a cookie cutter system.
Pros
Has more feature and functionalities than Quickbooks.
Cons
The license fee is little bit on higher side as they charge for each user.
Response from Sage

The right choice to handle your Product Lifecycle Management.
It has so many modules that you can use from Bill of materials on products and components, inventory of the products and components, the billing of customers and suppliers and the management of in process products in the manufacturing phase.
Pros
The way you can manage the bill of material when developing and maintaining products in the manufacturing facility.
Cons
Sometimes it goes very slow when changing from interfaces of different modules.

MAS90 - Windows - Sage 100
Custom reports are tricky in that some modules do not "play in the same sandbox" as other modules.
Pros
Once you get a sound understanding of the modules, it is fairly easy to sort and find information and to product some reports.
Cons
MAS90 was a pre-Windows software that had limits, but was workable. Then MAS90 was sold and given a facelift to become Sage 100. Sage 100 is basically a format, presentation and color change from MAS90. I used MAS90 25 years ago and learned some of the shortcuts after going to the State of the Art University. When I left the company that used MAS90, within a short time something happened to the business world: Windows. Now 25 years later and after several versions and upgrades of Windows, I am once again working with MAS90 behind the mask of SAGE 100. It is not like revisiting an old friend, but an old motel that are still using the same bedding. The training that I received did help make the reintroduction easier. It is ironic that several times in the search bar of Sage 100 it even refers to "MAS90." None-the-less as noted the Windows rise and dominance came into the mainstream if not becoming the stream of business. The tough thing is that MAS90 did not change with a Windows feel when it was altered into Sage 100. Frankly, it is most frustrating to jump from Outlook, Word, Excel then to Sage 100. Something as easy as hitting "enter" or "tab" in Sage 100 will cause redundancy in keying and wasted time. The answer is simple, the user MUST have a passion for selecting or clicking the left mouse button and consciously shifting their thinking from 2019 back to 1994 when ever they enter the world of Sage 100.

Solid mid-market enterprise accounting system, with quirks
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.

Pros
Fairly straight forward and easy to use. Can be easily modified to meet the needs of our organization.
Cons
A/P invoicing could be better. Had to go outside SAGE and interface with outside Sage affiliated system to get what we need done.

A FULLY INTEGRATED SOFTWARE SOLUTION
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.

Software that is easy to customize to fit your exact needs
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.

A Well Travelled Work Horse
Its a great product for the small business client looking for audit-compliance, reporting and a trust-worthy product without spending a lot. If mobility is not a huge concern for you and you want to keep your operating costs low, choose Sage 100.
Pros
Sage 100 is very well suited for financial record keeping, distribution management and reporting on these business operations. Functionally, it is very reliable and straight forward to use. It was the first accounting software I ever used in a professional setting and I continue to think in terms of the way items are processed in Sage 100. Because it has been around for decades, there is a substantial amount of knowledge available to new users by way of Sage City and the number of consultants available for support is also a huge asset. The subscription pricing makes it very simple to purchase and include as an operating cost for the lifetime of the business and there are great integrations available in the channel.
Cons
I wish there was a mobile app that gave access to the approval functions and other areas of the product that would be convenient when traveling away from the office - or even just working remotely. Remote accessing a server is very inconvenient and there are so many browser-based systems in business already. Sage 100 feels behind the times without this functionality.

I don't have cloud just Sage 100
I don't have Sage 100 cloud?
Pros
The support people were excellent to work with and made our transition in 2012 as easy as a new installation could ever get. I also like that all the areas are similar, so if you know Order Entry you can translate that knowledge to say Purchasing.
Cons
When i go to create custom reports there are databases with the last three letters WRK. It would be great to have access to those databases; i realize they are a combination of existing databases but they have everything i usually need for a custom report.
The bug in the current software update where you can't close the ship-to-address box in the right corner is annoying.

We use Sage100 for AR, AP, invoicing, inventory and month end reporting. The software is rather easy to use and can be customize for your business needs.It is very easy to train someone to use SAGE 100. Another feature I like is that I can pull reports out into excel. Also the support given from the SAGE staff is high quality.
Good software and support overall.

The only con to this software is, it is slow at times.

Long time user, fed up with huge price increases. Subscription based accounting with...
Back in 2005 it was the only mid level accounting system out there. Today there are just too many other options without being held hostage to price gouging.
Pros
The way it can handle inventory and pick,pack ship. Used to include a great Payroll program but now that is an add on.
Cons
Huge price increases year after year for just the license. Then you have to hire a software programmer to even do the smallest of task. Or even more money to fix a simple data entry error.

SAGE 100C - robust solution
Stable, well-built product with good interface and functionality. Good 3rd party customer support. Recent better pricing.
Pros
Complete end to end ERP solution with robust modules scaled for massive implementations - now fairly priced for smaller companies without the loss of functionality.
Cons
It is a full featured product that is clearly designed for large organizations with dozens of users. In a small company it is a bit burdensome as there are no quick transactions or shortcuts. The Crystal reporting suite is also full function - but it takes a true Crystal expert to easily create reports. There is no ability to quickly create an ad hoc report, and unless Crystal is your second language, it often takes too long to build a report for a single use.
