Sage X3 - Avis

Palette de fonctionnalités large, il n'est pas nécessaire de recourir à beaucoup de logiciel tiers à interfacer, sauf besoins vraiment spécifiques.Les développements spécifiques sont aisés à conduire avec le langage L4G, et si les best practices sont suivies, les mises à jour et migrations ne présentent aucune difficulté, ce qui est fort rare dans le monde des ERP.En v12, l'abandon de versions majeures au profit de releases représente un progrès énorme, on peut enfin se concentrer sur les usages métiers de l'ERP plutôt que de perdre des mois en recette sur des migrations de versions.

En v12, l'usage exclusif d'un client web est appréciable, mais les fonctionnalités du web sont très sous-exploitées encore, en terme d'ergonomie. La personnalisation possible est encore pauvre au vu des possibilités offertes par le web.

Ergonomie de la v12, prise en main rapide, adaptabilité, ouverture aux développements métier. Equipe SAGE à l'écoute des utilisateurs finaux. Mise à jour trimestrielle.

Du fait de la politique de mises à jour trimestrielles, certaines nouvelles fonctionnalités ne sont pas jusque-boutistes, Il manque un tout petit rien, parfois des effets de bords néfastes surviennent lors des montées de release.

L'ergonomie en apparence est intéressant. J'aime particulièrement le designer de processus.Le module finance est trés complet

Le module MRP / stock et Production n'a pas évolué depuis 2005.

l’intégration des différents module, l'information est disponible en temps réel ainsi la simplicité de l'utilisation

le module CRM est limité ainsi que ordonnancement de la production

Sage X3 est un ERP efficace et hautement adaptable!

L'exposition et la consommation d'API / Webservice doivent encore être améliorées

Production lot tracking for quality control purposes works very well.
There are no differences between the ERP/production and the accounting balances like sometimes happens with add on accounting software.

The financial reporting software in X3 is not very good at all, but with SEI as an add-in, that problem is solved.

Customizable features allow us to get the most out of the product. Workflows allow for controls for authorization where required.

Adding in some features required a lot of custom coding. Most notably was allowing for automatic allocations of product that is being cut.

Sage X3 is a very good tool web-based and responsive, which allows you to easily cover all the processes in the business it's flexible and updatable and scalable.

Document management doesn't exist in the standard version. The attachment option is very poor and difficult to manage and maintain.

It offers a wide range of functionality, including financial management, inventory management, sales management, purchasing, production management, and more. This makes it a one-stop-shop for businesses looking for an all-in-one ERP solution. Sage X3 is highly customizable, allowing businesses to tailor the software to their specific needs and requirements. This can help businesses to improve efficiency and streamline their processes.

Sage X3 is a high-end ERP software, which means that it may be more expensive than other ERP solutions on the market. This may be a barrier to entry for some businesses, particularly smaller ones with limited budgets. It is a complex software with many features and capabilities, which can make it difficult for users to learn and navigate. This may require a longer learning curve and more extensive training for users.

Sage X3 has an excellent user interface, it feels like all the icons and elements are in the right place to do the best job possible, keeping our users happy and familiar with all the possible tools within the platform. Importing and exporting data can be done in bulk helping us keep our file central up to date and saving a great deal of time. This tool is not suggested for small companies since the amount of functions and where it is directed goes far beyond, a very powerful tool that has minimal flaws that gradually have been resolved, the tool provides a lot of support when it is implemented correctly which is not easy, and its customer service is not as good as expected of a very powerful tool.

One of the things that have caused us most intrigue is that its error messages are not in our native language, so if we do not speak another language it is impossible to understand what it is about, it would be a good point to improve. The initial configuration of Sage X3 is not as simple as expected, which forced us to hire third parties to make it work and this represented an extra expense that was not contemplated in the investment.

Overall, the system is more user-friendly as far as data entry is compared to Sage 500. We were able to customize what was needed, which have improved processes from the previous software.

The software is a bit overwhelming with many options that don't pertain to our business and finding tasks is a bit cumbersome and time-consuming, although given more time using the software may improve this issue. We did have to customize quite a bit that we didn't initially think we would have to, and much of what was customized can't be (or not easily) modified by regular users (crystal reports).

I like the look a feel of the system and ease of opening other functions from the same screen.

System isn't designed for the chemical industry. A lot of mods or customizations have to be made for the system to support our needs. There is always a solution but there is always a cost as well. will be well over budget once everything is working the way it was presented.

Reliable and predictable management of standard ERP functions. Easy to customize. Web services integrated. Security is granular enough to cover most situations.

After login it takes several seconds to see the landing page. It's difficult to determine cause of some issues and error messages can be cryptic, requiring us to contact support in many cases, even for seemingly simple problems. Use on a mobile device is limiting as most screen layouts are designed for a PC.

X3 is highly configurable. Its intercompany functionality is substantial. Administrators have a ton of control over the user experience-- what they see, default fields, hiding fields, permissions, etc is all highly configurable without needing to be an IT genius to figure it out.

The ability to receive help. The help function is somewhat helpful sometimes but is not updated as often as it should be. The user community is lacking. I would love to be able to post on a message board about my problem, but when I have done that I have rarely gotten the answers I need. Solutions to X. problems are not "googleable"

Since I grew up with technology all the functions and placements, for the most part, do make sense to me and it is easy to use.

I do wish that the lettering wasn't so small. I understand that I would have to scroll more or adjust the spacing of my sections, however, I think it would be very useful and would improve the usage between co-workers.

É um produto fácil de implantar, que permite configurações diversas para a demanda da nossa empresa. Conseguimos utilizar facilmente com a legislação brasileira. Os itens que não sabemos configurar tem um suporte de três níveis que nos ajuda. Bem como tivemos suporte de instalação.Nossa empresa como é pequena não utilizamos todas as ferramentas do Sage x3, mas conseguimos controlar as entradas e saídas, também conseguimos fazer as integrações com web service, para os nossos sistemas antigos.Gerencia muito bem nossos Artigos/Produtos, é possível fazer diversos tipos de gestão, por estoque, por região.. etc.Acredito que com a expansão e conforme ganhamos experiencia, e conhecermos todas as centenas de recursos do sistema iremos agilizar o fluxo de trabalho do nosso negócio.

Não há integrações diretas com sistemas de ecommerce, é preciso desenvolver a integração.O suporte para a legislação brasileira é ótimo, mas o sistema não tem um help completo disponível em português brasileiro, não é grave pois o suporte nos ajuda em tudo.

location and picking tickets are relatively easy to use.

the way inventory counts are performed with the RF scanner are done, at present it has changed the way we do inventory. Prior to an up grade it was simple on the scanning of the bar code. After the up grade things changed on the scanning of the barcode having to answer question after the scan of a location was completed. Yes or no, do you want to delete on scan numbers. What it was before was much simpler.

The product itself, is very versatile and agile to adapt to our needs without tremendous modifications. I like the General Ledger and AP functions.

The software manufacturer. The product itself is good, the value for maintenance is not good. There are two many bugs for what is charged in maintenance fees. Sage is way too difficult to deal with and are surprised that users are unhappy. Are experience is it takes a month to get a ticket resolved. Passed around to multiple people and the suggested solution is it is a problem with your system. We can't recreate it.

Multi-Site features work well, Lot control/QC features are strong, visual process flows make new user training easy. Home Pages / Dashboards deliver easy access to data for production/shipping/receiving.

Integrated workorder planning functions are not realistic to use in version V9. Online help is lacking in too many areas, error message descriptions are vague.

Sage X3 helps companies in the distribution industry meet customer demands and keep costs and waste down by managing the movement of goods across locations, warehouses, or companies. By combining sales, purchasing, and inventory, the software creates a powerful replenishment plan that results in lower inventory levels, no unnecessary distribution, and healthier operating margins.

Sage ERP X3’s human resource module is relatively weak
It is not recommendable to smaller markets and industries
To know the pricing, a quote has to be requested from the vendor
There are no social media tools integrated into Sage ERP X3
There is no live chat support offered in the global website of the product

Sage X3 is platform agnostic, highly flexible and configurable ERP application that meets the demands of an industry governed by FDA, DEA, cGMPs. The financials at its core are solid, allowing for the inventory and manufacturing transactions to be performed with trackability traceability throughout the life cycle of the product manufacturing.

Sage X3 has as it's core language a proprietary 4GL language that has been challenging to find skilled resources with experience coding in.

AP is what we use this for, and it is quite easy to use.

Set up and customization is hard. There are so many menus in the back, to change or update anything it feels like I have to go into several menus. None of which you could figure out on your own - you will most likely be forced to have a 3rd party research and help resolve issues. At least tell you all the menus you have to go into in order to get something to work.

There are a wide range of settings to help make Sage function the way we need it to. The knowledgebase is typically very helpful. If calling in for support, most of the time there is no wait and everyone seems quite knowledgeable.

When you do need a customization, it is lengthy and typically expensive. Apparently this is no longer offered by Sage, so a 3rd party must be used. So far, it is even more lengthy and more expensive....

Our initial integration team did not our environment correctly. We have been combatting this for years.

During this time, our new team is learning of the robust features that we have been missing out on. We are expand and learn.

Cost. Helpdesk option that is automatically included in our yearly fees. We rarely us the Helpdesk based on past experiences. We go directly to consultants.

Es intuitivo , y muy personalizable teniendo los conocimientos

La forma de realizar y probar modificaciones en los informes. Hay que modificar , guardar , ir al ERP , imprimir.... se pierde bastante tiempo. No se puede ver directamente el resultado desde el crystal reports ya que hay que alimentar el informe con parámetros que le pasa el ERP.
