We have just gone through a very painful upgrade from MAS200 4.5/FRx to Sage 100 ERP 2014/Sage MAS Intelligence.  If we had to do it again, we would have looked into Renova and NOT gone with SMI.  

Another thing to consider....we've needed some support from Alchemex (who developed the program), which is located in South Africa and it's been difficult getting on their schedule.  From our perspective the support has been needed a great deal more than with FRx and it's been more difficult to get.  

Good luck with your choice!

Thanks...Renova is the direction I think we are going.  I thought Sage supplies support for SMI?

They do support SMI, but it's limited and many times the support comes from the users on this forum.  Calling in for support has been extremely cumbersome and time consuming.  We have Gold Support and we usually have at least a 5-10 min wait before even talking with a rep, so I find most of the help online.  We are dealing with an add-in issue and Sage Support is unable to assist so we have to wait to discuss with Alchemex.  It's just been very frustrating!  

Last time I checked the designer for SMI was only about $700?   The $1,060 sounds like an old price list before they reduced the price.

I don't know. I have asked 4 people and get different answers.

Hi all, the Designer module is now $1060 as the price was increased at the first of the year.  Another option is going with the subscription price which is based on number of companies but includes all modules, including Report Designer and Connector (used for consolidation) and unlimited licenses for Report Manager and Report Viewer.  

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you Sandra.  We have 4 companies we need to consolidate.  I mean, one company, but four separate general ledgers.  Do you know what the monthly subscription cost is on that situation?

F9 is a reasonable User friendly option and less expensive depending on number of users

Concur with above on frustration that does not seem like anything except more consulting work for an SI expert Not a friendly or reasonable solution

3-9 Companies is $129 per month.  For additional sales information send an email to sageintelligence.com.

I hope this helps.

Ok, so we have four companies...so that would be 129.00 a month for all features of Sage Intelligence, including Connector and the Report Desiginer?  Right?

Yes, that is correct.
