|---|---|---|
| Deputy Manager - IT at Nidec Corporation | 4.5 | Sage CRM serves as a limited CRM tool primarily for accounts and inventory management. Its inventory control and finance features are valuable, offering scalability. However, it needs enhancements in travel expense capabilities and user-friendly customization improvements. It's beneficial for data access and reporting. |
| Assistant general manager at Transcom | 4.0 | For over 16 years, I've valued Sage Accpac's excellent finance and distribution features. It's stable, and scalable if configured correctly. We've seen ROI, and I rate this solution an eight out of ten. |
| Senior Manager Sales Operations at Smile Telecoms Nigeria- Lagos Core via London | 4.0 | I find Sage CRM invaluable for its comprehensive reporting capabilities, allowing access to reports across all departments. However, we've faced synchronization issues with other platforms and believe the user interface could be improved for better user experience. |
| Project Manager at Exis TI | 4.0 | I use Sage CRM, which integrates well with Microsoft Office 365, to manage customer relationships efficiently. Its ability to track staff activities and customer interactions is valuable, though it could improve interactions with email and social media for better lead generation. |
| IT & Project Manager - National Arab Motors, KIA Motors (Amman, Jordan / Erbil, Iraq) at NAM | 4.0 | We use Sage CRM as our customized customer relationship management solution integrated with Sage 300 ERP. It's flexible, customizable, and user-friendly. However, it lacks a dashboard for dynamic reporting and we didn't consider other solutions or providers. |
| Silverpool Office Suites, Jabavu Lane Hurlingham at Ingenuity Business Solutions Ltd | 4.0 | I use Sage CRM for managing leads and cases, benefiting from its customizable workflows and lead tracking features. However, it requires improvements in charts and analytics, and the licensing costs are high compared to other CRM options. |
| Presales Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees | 3.5 | We find this stable quoting and transaction tool offers fair pricing and good ROI. Its quoting feature is valuable, but transaction monitoring with alerts could be better, impacting my 7/10 rating. |
| Managing partner at a tech vendor with 1-10 employees | 3.0 | I use Sage CRM for opportunity and lease management, finding it stable and scalable. However, the user interface needs improvement, and support could be faster. Despite a complex setup, I recommend it, rating it a six out of ten. |
The tool has been mainly meant for areas related to accounts, order entries, inventories, purchase orders, and invoicing for up to a year, so it serves as a limited CRM tool.
The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the inventory control part is good. Accounting and finance are also good areas for the tool. The scalability offered by the product is good. My company plans to add 20 more users to the product. It is possible to add users and access modules along with reports in the tool.
In the next upgrade, my company expects the tool to have the ability to apply travel expenses. In the next version of the product, I want the product to add the travel desk management module since it is an area that the tool currently lacks.
From an improvement perspective, the ability to make modifications to the product needs to be more user-friendly.
I have been using Sage CRM for two years. I use the solution's latest version.
Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
In India, my company has 80 users. At a global level, there are 105 users of the tool in my company.
The solution's technical support is fast to respond. Whenever my company needs to make changes to the product due to the government's changes in the tax structures, the tool's technical support team helps. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.
Positive
The product's initial setup phase is not complex.
During the deployment process, users need to take care of areas like rescaling data, data storage, scalability, and ERP.
The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.
The solution can be deployed in two to three hours.
The solution can be deployed with the help of my company's in-house team members. There is also a local consultant in our country. If my company needs some kind of customization or changes in the data or table, the tool's local consultant will help us.
The product's benefit stems from its being a good tool for our company. We can access data at any time, generate reports, and send them via email.
Though my company has to have a perpetual license per user, there is a need to make annual payments towards the costs attached to the support my organization receives from Sage CRM's technical team. It is not an expensive product. It is a moderately priced product, meaning it is neither expensive nor cheap.
Speaking about the product's ability to improve sales processes, I would say that even though the tool offers project management capabilities along with ERP functionalities, my company doesn't use it for project management or HR-related areas. My company majorly uses the tool for finance, logistics, and inventory control.
I haven't had the need for my company to not integrate the tool with other products. Though my company uses the product separately, we can export Sage CRM into Excel, after which the data can be integrated with other software products. Though the tool can be integrated with other products, my company doesn't do it because Sage CRM is enough for us.
The analytical reporting part of the business product is good. The analytical reporting part of the product is used for financial years, along with the profit and loss reports and inventory reports. For the sales part in our company, we use the analytical reports generated by the product to help the sales people in a region-wise, sales-wise and product-wise manner.
In my company, one of the teams will be changing from Sage CRM to Microsoft Dynamics.
I recommend the product to others who plan to use it, especially since it is a tool suitable for medium-sized companies and not for enterprise-sized businesses. Medium-sized companies can use the product since it is an economical and reliable tool.
I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The Sage Accpac solution has definitely been the most valuable because the finance features are excellent. The second most valuable feature is the distribution. We upgrade to the latest versions as they are released and make use of new features as they become available.
I have been using this solution for more than 16 years.
This is a stable solution. We have used it for more than 16 years in a number of companies and industries.
The scalability of this solution depends on whether you have a team that can configure it for scale. If a team has the necessary capabilities and scope, this is a scalable solution.
We have not needed support from Accpac on a regular basis. If we experience a cyber attack or data breech, we may raise a support ticket and ask for their help.
The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment takes one day but configuration could take one month or two months depending on a customer's requirement and their master data.
We have seen ROI from using this solution.
We pay for eight core modules and 20 user licenses and this costs us $1500 per year.

I can use the solution for virtually everything because all our inventory, finance, data analytics, and everything fits into Sage.
The part I like the most is the reporting. We can get reports across all the departments from a central dashboard in Sage.
We used to face downtime, in which some of our other platforms had issues synchronizing with Sage. I don't know whether it's an API or design issue somewhere, but there are these interfacing issues where systems sometimes don't talk to each other.
Other than that, I would like Sage to improve their UI.
Less than 20 users use this solution at my organization.
I rate Sage CRM an eight out of ten because we have had benefits using the solution so far.
