## Reviews

### "Good Solid ERP System" — 4.0/5

> **Eric** | *12 November 2020* | Food Production | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Reliable and predictable management of standard ERP functions. Easy to customize. Web services integrated. Security is granular enough to cover most situations.
> 
> **Cons**: 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.
> 
> Despite the base technology being over a decade old, Sage have managed to stay current with emerging technology while maintaining and improving many features.

-----

### "Great ERP Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Ian** | *15 March 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Intuitive menu structure and easy to use once the basics have been learnt.&#10;Very flexible and can be customized to suit your business
> 
> **Cons**: Relatively complex initial set up and not the quickest of systems as always a processing delay

-----

### "Pretty good but without advanced features" — 3.0/5

> **Matthew** | *12 November 2020* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The structure of the software is good and allows for good navigation.  It has some standard features that are good.
> 
> **Cons**: It does not have many of the features that I would like to see for Quality Control.  It does not have a good place to enter test results.  It is not clear how to customize it for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11.
> 
> It is good overall, but a little basic for what we need.

### "Sage X3 Review" — 4.0/5

> **Lebeko** | *09 April 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is customisable&#10;It is a relatively cheaper ERP product&#10;It covers all the financial aspects including accounts payable and receivables&#10;It has localised African support
> 
> **Cons**: BI/Dashboard is poor&#10;Materials management poor
> 
> It is a good product that gets the financial job automation done, but with regard to reporting and materials management it is not as good. The standard of technical support is also commendable

### "ERP system with integrated accounting software for medium size business" — 5.0/5

> **Somari** | *16 December 2020* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Production lot tracking for quality control purposes works very well.&#10;There are no differences between the ERP/production and the accounting balances like sometimes happens with add on accounting software.
> 
> **Cons**: The financial reporting software in X3 is not very good at all, but with SEI as an add-in, that problem is solved.
> 
> We have been using X3 for 6 years now, and we have not had any major problems.  X3 is easy to learn and understand.  Access to certain functions are easily restricted to give only access relating to job functions of the users.   Upgrading to newer versions are very easy, and the constant development ensures the software keeps getting better all the time.
