Sage Intacct Software

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.

Pros

1. Sage Intacct allows access anytime and anywhere (home, office, coffee shop)
2. Sage Intacct has login are very secured with different levels.
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.

Cons

1. Extracting volume data in most of time is an issue, especially Journals.

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.

Sage Intacct product review

Overall the system is easy to use and they are constantly making improvements. They are also taking user feedback into consideration and implementing it into new updates every quarter.

Pros

I really like the automatic billing capability, I can now send my invoices in 2 hours instead of 2 days. The level of details in the financial reports is exactly what our company was looking for when we switched to Intacct. The ease of having our expense reporting system and Intacct communicate is super helpful, means less manual work.

Cons

I would like to have more features when I record payments and I can't edit certain transactions. I like to drill down on come of the reports and you can't do that so finding out where that information came from is sometimes a challenge.

Review of Sage

Generally good

Pros

I really like their online payroll processing function. What is more they have multiple plans to choose from.

Cons

Although this software always get good reviews, I would rather prefer using other accounting system.

good for the basic office

Pros

pretty easy to use, especially for beginners

Cons

I prefer the versatility and extra options of QB

customizable and user friendly

Pros

They allow you to customize your plan according to the size of your organization. Which makes it good value for money
Analytics allows you to easily analyse financial position at any time.
Built in automatic tax calculations, payslip creation.
Easy and always up-to-date HR records.
Software allows for greater internal efficiency. (granted that the employees responsible are trained to capture and input data accurately)

Cons

The initial training on the software can take some time. If your employees do not have prior knowledge of accounting systems, it may prove difficlut to train them on this software.
For consistency it would be better to train your Business bookkeeper/payroll admin or Non profit grants administrator to capture accurately and then train everybody else how to understand and access reports that have been generated.

Love Sage Intacct

Pros

Gosh what do we not love! It does everything, the reports are so customizable, and everyone who works there is awesome!

Cons

What I personally do not like about Intacct is there is no way to see imports that are being uploaded in the queue. Sometimes I upload the same file twice and Intacct doesn't recognize it and I have duplicate files.

Sage Intacct Review

Pros

Streamlined interface. Easy to use features and and very customizable.

Cons

Customer support could be more responsive and less reliant on peer help.

Looking for a Financial Softare to replace QB?

Overall, we have had a good experience. However, we have an implementation team that is working with us to make sure that our input from QB is seamless.

Pros

I love this cloud-based system where approving and reporting features are accessed from any mobile device. We are just implementing this system - replacing quickbooks - and it is streamlining our business.

Cons

This is a true accounting system that truly automates financial procedures. However, it might confuse the non-accounting folks in your office. Some processes can be more cumbersome than an automated QB system (for example: credit card and ACH processing).

Sage Intacct Put Us in Awe!

Sage Intacct is an awesome tool, there's no doubt!

Pros

One good thing about this tool is that it allows us to accurately track and report on expenses and sales. It also lets us extract reports upon detailed financial information very quickly.

Cons

The product has been working well for the entire organization for years and I do not see anything bad but I'm excited to see what enhancements they'll come up with in the future.

Big upgrade from previous software

Pros

This cloud-based software is a big upgrade from my previous software which was Microsoft Dynamics GP. GP was extremely dated and was limited in functionality.

Cons

One pain is not being able to get back to the top level once you go to a subsidiary and close the top level, you have to log back in.

One of the best cloud-based ERP solution

Pros

Sage Intacct is very adaptable as it has a lot of integrations that we really need. Unlike other ERP systems, Sage Intacct ensures easy navigation throughout the system. It has a simple UI and its easy for new users to get used to the system. The application enables contact management, revenue recognition, inventory management and financial management. It helps in reducing cycle times and improves transparency by accurate monitoring of costs and expenses. The dashboard is a good feature where we get to display all the required data in a single place. Very useful to get all required data just before going to conferences and attending a meeting with the higher-ups.

Cons

We encounter quite a lot of formatting issues. The absence of advanced automation. A few functions are restricted in scope. The import feature has so many issues.
