Sage X3 Named Leader in Midsize Manufacturing ERP

03 September, 2025

Independent analyst firm ISG has named Sage X3 a Leader for midsize manufacturing ERP, placing it among the top three solutions in their latest evaluation. 

This is no small endorsement, as ISG conducts in-depth reviews across a wide range of ERP platforms to help business leaders evaluate new systems. 

Why Sage X3 Stood Out 

In the midsize manufacturing category, ISG highlights that “Executives must recognize the need for a strategic approach to assessing the software rather than a simple like-for-like replacement.” 

Sage X3 earned its top three ranking thanks to its ability to support core manufacturing needs, including: 

  • Manufacturing operations and productivity 
  • Planning and scheduling 
  • Demand planning 
  • Shop-floor management 
  • Material flow optimization 
  • Multi-site operations 
  • Track & trace and quality management 
  • Equipment and facilities maintenance 
  • Environmental and safety compliance 
  • Smart manufacturing 
  • Distribution management 

This range of functionality places Sage X3 firmly on every midsize manufacturer’s must-evaluate list. 

ISG’s Highlights for Sage X3 

Customer Experience
Sage X3 was praised for delivering measurable value. ISG focused on validation (does it fulfill its promises, backed by real-world examples?) and TCO/ROI (does it offer strong value for money and tangible business benefits?). 

Manageability
The platform excels in configurability and control, making it easier for organizations to deploy, manage, update, and protect their ERP investment with confidence. 

Usability
ISG notes Sage X3’s intuitive, user-friendly design, configurable dashboards, and transparency that make it easy for teams to access insights and simplify daily routines. 

Analysts consistently point out that Sage X3 is purpose-built for manufacturing, with powerful out-of-the-box functionality tailored to the industry. That’s why it not only secured a top ranking for midsize manufacturing but also earned ISG’s “Exemplary” rating across multiple categories, including ERP as a whole, ERP overall for manufacturing , and ERP in financial management.
