Top Rated Sage 100 Contractor Alternatives

We've used Sage for over 5 years and it does everything we need. It's particular good with AP and AR as well as Payroll. I've particularly enjoyed the recent upgrade that includes a SQL Server database. It's very well documented and has allowed us to create powerful queries that automate a lot of the work we were doing from a reporting standpoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's Windows only. While this works for most of our organization, I'm a Mac user for every other aspect of my job. For whatever reason we couldn't get Sage to work on a VM running on Parallels so I had to repurpose an old Windows machine so I can remote into it to access Sage. I suppose it's not a huge issue, but it is still slightly annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can keep good track of your project, if everything is in put exactly the way it should be every step of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a clunky program. Very hard to make changes if a step has been missed in entering information. It is not user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PO Entry workflow was pretty good. Not much otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unable to export to PDF/Word without crashing. Expensive. Clunky overall. A setting that was wrong for one employee caused the entire company's time keeping to fail. Having to pay $225/hr for training and support. Server problems made several tax payments late.
When I was sold the product I was told that the timekeeping was free and would work on mobile. It did not work on newer Android phones, which was a known issue at the time, but I was not told. I spent 30 minutes on a chat with their support team about it and was told there was no timeline for an update, so I spent $2k on a third party contract. The next week they released their timekeeping update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to get job costing down to the task level. Reporting is much more robust and Estimating project is much more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Customizable reports are difficult to create if you don't have training. The Users Group is helpful to an extent but having reports made custom for your company can get expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I utilize the budgets feature regularly, and it is easy to enter budgets and verify they match the contract's value. Each category is easily pulled into a report to analyze job performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Multiple windows are sometimes unable to be viewed and it can slow down my production rate when I am constantly needing to be on the move and processing data at a high rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sage100 doesn't always integrate or integrate correctly with some programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This software is very easy to navigate and is very versitile. I used it mainly to process payroll, expenses, accounts payable, and did all of the onboarding. It's great if you have union employees and certified payroll to process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reporting could be more customizable. I found myself pulling data from multiple reports to combine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
