Sage Intacct vs Tipalti: Which is best for you?

The real-time reporting and dimensional accounting stood out in particular, as they made it easy to slice financial data by department, project, or location without complex workarounds.

The software tends to overcomplicate simple tasks, which can slow down day-to-day work and create unnecessary friction for users who aren’t deeply familiar with the system. While it offers robust features, the learning curve and lack of intuitiveness make it less efficient than it could be.

Features like mobile receipt capture are a big win for our traveling team, and the seamless integration with systems like Sage Intacct and Amex adds major efficiency.

The platform gives us a cleaner approval trail, OFAC compliance, and a single system for invoices, procurement, expenses, and AMEX cards. But the path to getting there was far more difficult than promised, and even now, the product still requires multiple manual workarounds to meet the needs of a large, compliance driven credit union.
