Sage Intacct Software

Pros

This is a great accounting software that would be made even better if some of the features that have been promised for quite some time would officially roll out.

Cons

There is much improvement needed in the reporting area. After using the proposed new reporting module, the current module looks and feels antiquated and not user friendly.

Pros

What we like most about Sage Intact are the user interface and customer service. Sage Intact serves ice range of companies and as a smaller company, we feel as though they can still relate to us.

Cons

What we like least about Sage Intact is that it does not go hand in hand with our accounts payable interface. We needed to adopt a little but once we learned how it was great

Pros

Intacct has been a powerful tool in automating our financial information and in providing our project managers the tools the financial information they need to do their job

Cons

This is not a cheap product and customer service is managed by your Intacct consultant - this is a new product so be sure the consultant you have has experience.

The products offers great accounting solutions

Pros

The API is very accessible for integration with BI and reporting applications. The software is also very easy to use. Sage support is also very good in answering any questions

Cons

The application UI could be a little better like their other products (Sage 300 or 100 in particular)

Pros

This isn't exactly a product category that has raving fans... What Intacct has done well for us is digitizing a previously paper driven process. In that way, it's helped our workflow a ton and has helped us expedite our financial approves as an organization.

Cons

They've made a few user interface updates recently, but they are still seriously lagging behind. The way everything is organized is not intuitive. The feature list looks pretty impressive, but the ease of use of those features has been a nightmare.

Pros

Sage Intacct is very complete and feature-rich, allowing us to consolidate our billing solutions. That lead to streamlining our process, leading to a significant increase in our productivity. We're now using it daily throughout the entire company.

Cons

The pricing was more than we initially anticipated but it became a non-issue once we began using the software. When we were exposed to the entire platform we were much more comfortable.

It has allowed us to give senior management real-time access to financial results and metrics

Pros

It is very feature rich and is a big step up from the functionality that we had. Particularly like the dashboard capabilities. It has a lot of 'tier 1' ERP functionality at a more reasonable price.

Cons

It takes a bit of time to get familiar with the reporting and dashboarding capabilities but overall it is a really good product.

Pros

This software has plenty of very useful dashboards or real-time or point in time reporting. This software has ways to interact with account data like importing invoices from external systems. It's easy to learn, easily navigable

Cons

Customer service could be more knowledgeable at times though. It is also a bit difficult to get assistance outside of the normal functionality.

By being able to automate our financial activity we have increased the amount of information available to key decision makers for more informed decisions. The amount of time it takes for us to process purchasing transactions has decreased by a dramatic amount of time .

Pros

We transitioned from a manual recordkeeping system to this electronic accounting system. This means all of our transactions are available to be reviewed at any time from anywhere. Reports are available instantaneously reflecting the latest transactions. Transactional history to review activity from creation to being posted to the GL is tremendous and helpful. The software offers many more versions of reports than was available with our prior legacy system.

Cons

One of the most difficult items with this system is that user restrictions prevent Custom Reports from being accessible to 75% of our users. The report writing tools would benefit from an overhaul to allow merging of multiple data tables and more customization of the report appearance. Also there are so many aspects affected by creating a GL Account that there is a steep learning curve in understanding where to efficiently generate new records.

Pros

We switched from Quickbooks and this software just blew it away. Intacct is cloud based and is much more efficient and effective for business use and produces good reports and integrations to 3rd party software.

Cons

There are odd restrictions with the software. It won't let you use bank accounts as GL accounts which may be for a good reason but works in our business.

Great quantity of charts, dashboards and reports, good precision.

Pros

It integrates with the Sage Software, it has a great quantity of reports and dashboards. The revenue report is well presented and exactly gives you what you ask and need.

Cons

Is not so easy to use and this leads to a lose time, and it could be a little bit faster. The customer support is not the best.

Pros

Sage Intacct is visually appealing and has an open API structure making it easy to communicate with other systems such as payroll.

Cons

The user interface is fine, but I personally think the software tends to run slow and I would prefer it to be more interactive. The customer service is even less impressive.

Pros

I appreciate how I can easily manage all of my bank reconciliation and general ledger needs on one website. It incorporates many of the features I need and allows me to input manual payments easily. My favorite feature is how it remembers my transactions so if I have a frequent vendor I can duplicate payments and edit as needed.

Cons

I find the software difficult to use. It seems like there are lots of unnecessary steps to accomplish what I need within the software. I am not a fan of how I have to void transactions completely if I make a mistake instead of editing it.

Pros

Really enjoyed using it and absolutely no issues training was easy and really enjoyed it we using it with my team

Pros

It's easy to navigate and they have training programs to get you up to speed quickly. From a managerial accounting perspective, having a multi-entity platform and multiple dimensions allows us to add a lot of value to our clients.

Cons

They have strong integrations with many applications but I wish they had more. It's not the strongest accounting software I've seen for manufacturing and cost accounting.

Pros

Intacct allows for the creation and utilization of any fields desired for your business eliminating the need for the multitude of work-arounds necessary to create detailed reports in other accounting systems. Intacct also has the most capable custom reporting interface I have utilized to date, saving hours of time formerly spent on the extraction, transformation, and production of standard company reports. Other benefits include, ability to import any type of transaction, ability to bulk export all GL transaction data (a personal favorite), a robust API allowing for integration with internal databases, payroll software, etc.

Cons

Initial setup was led by a less experienced implementation specialist which led to difficulties as we began to review and create custom reports accurately. After speaking with a consultant, we determined the issues, corrected them, and have produced real time advanced reports which have provided a level of insight which was unachievable within other accounting software.

by using Intacct, we've been able to keep our man hours low in the accounting office. This has allowed us to put our energy toward ministries and not back office cost.

Pros

Intacct is a great foundation to our accounting package. It allows us to build in other softwares (Nexonia, Bill.com, Joseph Eve) to make an accounting system that works for our organization.

Cons

The price is high for Intacct compared to other fund accounting platforms for churches. On top of the cost for Intacct, you pay extra for any additional platform you decide to use. We also always seems to be tweaking how we have items set up. This could be good because we'll always making it better, but sometimes wish there was just one simple way of using the product.

Pros

This software is easy enough to understand and can be figured out by trial and error. Pretty simple when you get a hang of it.

Cons

Can be time consuming when doing custom reporting and the software could use some more features to send financial reports

It's functionality are simple to use, even a non-professional person can use it. I like it's security, how easy I can access every details or information I want about company finances

Pros

Sage Intacct is a great tool that comes with a huge assortment of functions within the core application along with integration capabilities all while having great performance and uptime.

Cons

I hope in future versions of this product we can pack in a few more features that makes it easier to send financial reports. It is also a bit expensive

Pros

Accommodates most of the needs of a growing company. Allows for some customization. Interface is easy to understand and can usually be figured out by trial and error.

Cons

Instruction manuals are lacking, will need to learn as you go. Sales team is extremely lacking in providing support and solutions that may help a growing company. Implementation of add-on modules is very generic with very little support for customization. Once implemented, we found that we were on our own in trying to resolve issues that should have been addressed by the implementation expert.
