Top Rated Sage Fixed Assets Alternatives
I use Sage Fixed Assets to maintain my asset listing and for depreciation purposes. The program is fairly easy to use. You can easily create or dispose of your assets as needed. Each asset file has plenty of fields for detailed information on the asset. There is several report options to print asset listing, disposals reports and various depreciation reports. The depreciation methods are current and updated as laws change. It's very easy to select the depreciation method you need for individual assets. I have several companies created for each location, but for CPA reporting at year end I am able to create a new company that includes all of my location files so that the data is all on one report, for reporting purposes.

I do have periodic problems printing from the program. My IT department has instituted a "fix" for this. The program does take a few minutes to generate reports to print or view to screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like having the option to use fields for our company needs. This allows us to code depreciation down to a department level, track projects, and still have available fields for the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish that the excel exports were formatted a bit more basic for easier manipulation. Many cells are merged and other things make it difficult to quickly create pivot tables and filter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. The software is easy to use and produces quality product, which is what I need in a fixed asset software. I am able to do my calculations accurately because of the quality output from the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product is very user-friendly. It is easy to run my reports without issues. The technical support team is very helpful with implementing and integrating new companies. I've used Sage for 5 years now and would not switch to a new provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I have issues with the software running on our server correctly. But I think this is a server issue and not a Sage issue. Sage is always very helpful when this issue arises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
All assets are Captured, and the system automatically calculates depreciation until asset's entire life cycle. For Assets that are no londer in good working condition, the software allows you to add pictures of assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The report generation takes some time; the system processer is slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sage provides tax fixed assets rules updates on a regular basis and seems to have a solid grasp on the rules governing fixes assets both from a tax and GAAP perspective. The system layout is mostly easy to follow and includes all of the areas of focus and features I need in a fixed asset software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Where Sage struggles is in it's import/export feature. It's clunky and awkward to use. It leaves you going through loops of continuous selections in order to export necessary reports. It takes tons of time to do this for all of our companies. Additionally, the import feature is nearly impossible to understand and figure out. Finally, the software is a bear to maintain and gets updates installed for. Our IT group has to keep extensive notes on what needs done in order to maintain the system and often times spends hours on the phone with technical support to get our updates installed.

Once standard information is put into the system it doesn't need to be done again then all your materials used and product made are right there making tracking reorder of materials easy and product made a breeze Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its a pain to teach others and can be tough to learn it also doesn't interface with Google docs or Red zone which are both heavily used by my company Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sage fixed assets makes a very complicated tax situation very easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initial input can take a while. No fault of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is pretty straightforward with the asset's information, such as description, life, costs, depreciation method and tax depreciation method. And it's easy to switch between two asset tabs, also easy to see a list of assets. Once you enter one or two assets, it's easy to get up to speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I did not notice any checking mechanism within the tool to notify me any errors or help reconcile differences. So if something was entered wrong, it may take some luck or time and patience to locate and fix it, even the tiniest mistake. And fixing the error is not that easy.

Sage is easy to use and update. The reports are easy to run, download and format. The fixed asset exports make it easy to download the asset listings and reconcile to the books. Sage has the ability to add multiple books for tax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be nice to hide old/disposed assets from view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They constantly keep the software up to date with the latest law changes. The updates are almost instantaneous to a new law. Also the software is very user friendly. Once you get the hang of it, everything goes very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is not always easy to find asset lives in the research section. When I come across new fixed asset types that I don't know the est. useful life for, I sometimes have to research to find what it should be, based on the IRS rules. The Sage Fixed Asset Software does have a research function, but it is not the easiest to find things in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
