What do you like best about Sageworks Lending?

The cross module functionality and the collaboration with their customers to provide relative enhancements. We use all modules for the lending process and the efficiencies we've gained in doing so have been tremendous. Abrigo also understands that while they are continually striving to make enhancements, some institutions do not always capitalize on those enhancements. Having a team that advises on the best use of the platform has also streamlined our efficiencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sageworks Lending?

It can be challenging to get buy-in from all users. While Sageworks provides a lot of training options, we've found we had to have a dedicated individual to really push throughout the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sageworks Lending solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sageworks provides an all encompassing platform that assists with the initial information gathering (application), streamlines documentation collection and analysis, minimizes data entry, provides efficiencies in underwriting and presentation outputs, and streamlines post-closing monitoring efforts.

What do you like best about Sageworks Lending?

Sageworks / Abrigo is very dynamic and current with the changing environment and the needs of banks of differing sizes. They keep us informed of their updates and improvements and are excellent in all aspects of customer service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sageworks Lending?

Abrigo has a lot of arms of business which have come together from a variety of backgrounds. At times, there seems to be a disconnect between what is possible today, what is close on the radar and what is completely ready for market. However, the employees are excellent! We have not had any problems where we couldn't come to a win-win solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sageworks Lending solving and how is that benefiting you?

The workflow capabilities from start to finish of the loan process have really improved all aspects of efficiency in our process. The elimination of status update phone calls and emails alone has saved so much time! Everyone can log on to see where a loan is in process and who is working on it. Additionally, the reporting aspects are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sageworks Lending?

The workflow and Advanced Reporting modules are my absolute favorite. Workflows can provide information as to where processes may need to be improved due to bottlenecking and also used as a resource to ensure all due diligence as well as compliance musts are followed. We use Advanced Reporting to create exception reports that are utilized by the entire lending staff including management. The report is well written, organized and can provide exception percentages for each officer and can be pulled real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sageworks Lending?

The Relationship management module can be difficult to maintain only because the options the user has to create a group are vast and everyone seems to do it differently which can result in reporting inefficiencies down the line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sageworks Lending solving and how is that benefiting you?

Effective reporting, allowing the bank to minimize exceptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sageworks Lending?

The versatility and flexibility which Sageworks offers in their workflows and loan booking. The integration with a customer-facing portal is also very nice. However, we have not been using that to the fullest extent. Also worth mentioning is the amount of modules and well-integrated 3rd party software to complement to suite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sageworks Lending?

The main pitfall of Sageworks is that while all the basics are there, the devil is in the details. If you keep to the beaten tracks, it is smooth sailing. Trying to accommodate more custom and or complex products is a challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sageworks Lending solving and how is that benefiting you?

Streamlining and automating our Loan origination process while piggybacking on the auxilary software for regulators like CECL/CRA/HMDA Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Sageworks Lending?

Sageworks allows many different types of information to be spread and groups for businesses. Also, after running the credit analysis, it will compare the financials against other businesses with the same NAICS code to see how it compares to their peer group. This can help save time for underwriting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sageworks Lending?

There are a large number of features, and it can be overwhelming to start to work through. I wish there was more formalized training for new employees to go through when they are first starting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sageworks Lending solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to run different reports with our information from Sageworks, and merge fields from the core processing system. It is saving a large amount of back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the analysis showed multiple years of dscr without having to click into the historical dscr coverage tab on the spreads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sageworks Lending solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Sageworks we worked out of formulated Excel spreadsheets. Those spreadsheets sometimes had formulas overwritten which would cause incorrect data to populate and then cause more time going back and correcting formulas and data so that information showed correctly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
