Sage Intacct Software

Intacct Review

Sage Intacct is a good software, it's not too hard to set up and get running. It's functional and a fair deal for the price.

Pros

It has a lot of functionality for a mid-sized business - and a lot of helpful instructions.

Cons

The report writing isn't very intuitive. Also lots of extra added charges for extra functionality.

Good cloud-based software

Pros

For a basic cloud-based accounting package, it worked well. Reports were easy to find.

Cons

It could be some settings on our end, but we had multiple entities consolidating into one, and sometimes
financial statement reports (balance sheet, P&L) didn't quite run as expected.

Systematization of the ideal work

It is a benefit to make quick consultations thanks to the magnificent execution of the GL. It is very simple to specify a specific invoice or collect data about what I am looking for, in this way we do a complete analysis and study of all our statistics, completely automating all the work. We find irregularities and in this way we find the best possible solution, saving time and money invested.

Pros

It is a great software, with wide functionality. All reports are perfectly adapted to the preferences and needs of my work, completely systematizing all the work. It is easy to access, allows you to initiate a session through the Internet quickly, executes the GL fluently. The importation of transactions is incredible and, as a whole, its API is complete. In general it is easy to implement, useful and the reports adapt very well to what I need.

Cons

It is a bit complex to configure, it takes time to understand the complete system in detail. Customer support can take time to attend the consultations, but when they do, they solve the doubts.
The modules do not work as expected, they can work correctly but suddenly it shows some failure and stops doing it properly, according to how I need it for my work.

Minimize errors while preparing financial reports.

Pros

It's really easy to enter data in the Sage Intacct with minimum time. It minimizes the errors while entering data.

Cons

It is very difficult to rectify the error as this software makes difficult to go back and change the numbers.

Best Saas Accounting solution

Sage Intacct is a great company to work with. Their software solution is great and easy to use. If your looking to change from an outdated solution, this should make the transition easier.

Pros

The software is great. It is super easy to use and almost impossible to break. It can be used for more than your monthly accounting. We use it to track our valuation process. It is easy to track everything in the software and perform your monthly accounting tasks. You can track t&e, ap, ar, fixed assets, and do your cash management in this solution. There are many other features that make it a best in class solution

Cons

The software itself is great. There are certain things we would like to be able to track in the software, like irr, but we also don't expect one software to do anything. There may sometimes be a lag in support getting back to you when you have issues, but nothing that is too extreme

Finance Loves it

Pros

This cloud product allowed us to retire an old legacy on-prem system.

Cons

Customizability isn't quite there but there is a 3rd party marketplace

Cool data organization and collection tool

Pros

There are many positive for Sage Intacct such as the ease to log in and the ease to navigate through the software. Other positives about Sage Intacct are the speed of the software making it efficient. As well as how structured the software Sage Intacct is.

Cons

How the software handles its company charge card and paying off card charges seem unnecessarily complicated. The modules which were added on are not the best and the fact that Sage Intacct added it on as it is easy to find out it that the modules weren’t there originally. Finally customization is quite difficult.

Implementation gone south

Pros

I was connected to come in and get implementation back on track,.

Excellent accounting package for working for a global company.

Excellent revenue recognition module

Cons

Tough to find training on this software package, however with guides its is possible to self study.

2 Plus Years Use of Intacct

At first I was not the happiest but the more I use it I have not wanted to change. I like the improvements they continue to make. I am glad I chose this software.

Pros

I love the ability to attach documents to each transaction.
I like the ability to customize the software.
They are upgrading their report writer. I have not used it yet but it is supposed to be very easy to use.

Cons

I have not spent a lot of time with the reports.
Creating custom reports is a process.
On some screens I wish it showed totals at the bottom but I have to export and then total up the amount. That is from a certain view. If I created a report it would have the totals.

Recent Migration away Quickbooks

Pros

Flexibility and the ability to handle enterprise amount of PO's. We migrated away from Quickbooks and Intacct can handle our higher volume of invoices each week. We currently run about 300-500 invoices each week and Quickbooks was unable to keep up with our demand. Since switching over to Intacct, our process has gotten much smoother.

Cons

There is not a direct intagration wiht Salesforce.

Overall

Pros

Fairly easy to maneuver around the software.

Cons

Platforms services is not the easiest platform to build reports out of. It's not very intuitive.
Customer service can take a while to get things resolved.

Intacct

Pros

Frequent feature updates to improve product effectiveness.

Cons

Having multiple locations, it can be very time consuming to do certain tasks. For example, cutting checks, we have to go into each individual location to select the checks.

Billing

It was intuitive.

Pros

I can create manual invoices with ease. That's pretty cool.

Cons

I can't create credits that only apply to sales tax.

Its an average accounting system

My overall experience with Intacct is overall positive. Intacct does save me significant time and effort in my everyday tasks compared with our older software. i do feel it could be improved upon further to make it a better product.

Pros

I like the fact that it is browser based through the cloud which makes access quick and easy. The modules that I use the most work very well such as Accounts Payable and Time and Expense. The General Ledger reporting function is very helpful and easy to use as well.

Cons

There are a few modules such as Prepaids, Fixed assets and Purchasing that we had purchased after the initial implementation of intacct that did not work very well initially. There were many work arounds and technical problems that created alot of unneeded headaches and work. Fortunately this has been fixed now for the most part and works well.

Another issue I have is the support community that I put support tickets in when I need some help. They don't seem to know the product very well and often the solutions and advice I receive is partially right or wrong altogether. There have been instances where I have just figured it the problem myself through reading articles or experimenting with settings etc.

Have used different Sage products in different roles/companies

The company I work for is phasing out its use of Sage Intacct. Moved to Zuora.

Pros

Intacct was often a simple & complete accounting platform to perform my vital job functions.

Cons

Was not crazy about the reporting. Some of the UI screens were non-intuitive

Sage Intacct Personal obervation

On our case, we focus on developing core business side then integrate with Intacct via web-service, and this have been successfully, because all side of reporting, financials, UPR, etc, is managed by Sage Intacct.

3. Sage Intacct provide financial information on detailed level by using dimensions which allows decision makers to relay on realistic information.
4. Sage Intacct is easy to use, it doesn't requires advances financial training.

Decent ERP software for medium, medium-large companies

Hard to get used to in the beginning (I transitioned from QuickBooks), but as you get more and more used Intacct can be very resourceful and more powerful than other, more conventional ERP systems.

Pros

All the features, and integration capacity with other software.

Cons

Can be clunky and not user-friendly in not a seasoned user. Some add-on features (like FA modules) have a lot to desire in order to be useful.

More Easy than I expected

Pros

This software helps me and I really love the reporting tools in this app. This interactive and easy to use.

Cons

Nope. I don't have any experience with the problems when I try this software. Overall this app is recommended to use

"Much easier to use then I anticipated, wish we would have switched sooner"

Pros

You can use this system without having to use a separate reporting tool if necessary.
Dimension tagging in the system gives visibility into areas you might not have thought of.

Cons

None, I've never had the opportunity to have a bad thing to say about the system

Easy to use

We have been able to streamline and sync the accounting records and processes of several sister organizations to since we began to use Sage Intacct. This has enabled comparison of financial records, effective communication within the accounting software and consistency among several organizations.

Pros

The layout and organization of the software is easy to use.

Cons

Custom reports take a long time to build. It takes a while to get all the Account Groups set up.
