Great software for the construction industry
I am extremely pleased with all the construction software combined. We were able to downsize the different programs we used and integrate everything into basically one system.
Pros
The software was user friendly. When I first used Sage years ago, it was brand new on the construction scene but it by far blew the software we were using away. It seems to have gotten better with age.
Cons
Initial setup was not as smooth as I feel it should have been. The reports are great however, customizing certain items specifically rails for us. We just run several reports and get the numbers anyway.

Big Upgrade for Our Company
We are happy with Sage Construction Suite. Any time we have had issues arise, customer service has always been really knowledgeable and helpful. It was a big upgrade for us and is capable of alot!
Pros
It is really great to have a software that multiple departments in our construction company can use from payroll to estimating. Implementation and training was pretty seamless. The Info Assistant module is really helpful too as you can run reports for any module there without occupying a license.
Cons
Running inquiries and reports can sometimes be tricky to find exactly what you are looking for. Regarding inquiries, the printouts always look like they came from a typewriter in the 80's. It would also be nice if the software was cloud based.

10 years past it's prime
Sage 300 CRE meet our company's needs for close to 15 years, but ultimately newer,
cheaper, faster, more accessible, and more customizable software came along and we choose to switch. 10 years ago Sage 300 CRE was well worth looking at but these days there are better options on the market.
Pros
As an accounting system Sage 300 did the majority of what was required from it, similarly as a payroll management system. Sage 300 CRE has a lot of 3rd party support and there we no shortage of additional programs that could be integrated to handle document control, time collection, and reporting. Sage 300 CRE is also customizable enough that many changes to accommodate our business were able to be made. Most modules in Sage are capable of importing from CSV files making data transfer between system relatively easy, especially with the backup documents.
Cons
The biggest complaint from our users had to do with the speed at which the system operated. Regardless of our servers hardware we found some reports and process would take several minutes to run and despite receiving several suggestions from the customer support team nothing ever improved the situation.
As time went by despite yearly updates Sage 300 CRE felt like a older and older program, its UI and design philosophy feel very 2000s.
Getting information out of Sage can be extremely tricky as well, built in export options are limited, and using the ODBC drivers can be tricky even for technical users.
Setting up Sage 300 CRE so that it functions like a client-server application is also tricky, and the update process usually ended up with our IT team spending an entire evening updating the server and each individual workstation. Access Sage outside of your company's intranet is also difficult.
