Sage Intacct

Increase efficiency and reduce human data entry to control errors

Comments: Before, we were using Quickbooks, and it was a pain to consolidate financials because we couldn't have more than two businesses open at once. Sage allows you to work in as many separate entities as necessary while yet having the ability to aggregate your financial data automatically if so configured.

Pros:

Sage Intacct's real-time budget visibility and user-friendliness are two of my favorite features. Putting in an order for purchase and checking to see whether we have the correct estimate before submitting it is also a huge plus in my book. It's incredibly simple to operate. Our previous method was likewise simple to pick up. Our team was able to quickly put this into action.

Cons:

The drawback is short-lived and might not even affect all users. Getting proficient in its use, something that is both necessary and anticipated.

Solid Product, Flexible but Unduly Complicated Reporting

Comments: Overall, I am generally pleased with the working version of Sage Intacct that I have, but it has been an arduous journey to get here. I would recommend that you are careful with your implementation partner as many headaches can be avoided with a thoughtful, thorough cutover.

Pros:

I like the flexibility that Sage gives me in terms of reporting and I like the accounting I can assign to department heads for approval of their spending.

Cons:

I think there is a complexity to the reportage that is unnecessary. The account group structure is difficult to navigate and must be maintained diligently if your chart of accounts changes.

Efficient Financial Management with Sage Intacct: Powerful but Pricey

Comments: My experience with Sage Intacct has been positive overall. It offers powerful financial management, real-time reporting, and scalability. While there’s a learning curve and the cost can be high, its automation and flexibility make it valuable for streamlining accounting processes and improving efficiency.

Pros:

Sage Intacct offers strong financial management tools, real-time reporting, and easy scalability for growing businesses.

Cons:

Sage Intacct can have a steep learning curve and high cost

Director Operations

Comments: Our experience is OK. We spend more then needed since we cannot remove international currency and we never even used it. Support is just OK, as we are always referred to long articles when we just need simple instructions. The system is mostly user friendly outside of reporting.

Pros:

The ability to create your own views. I find the system to be pretty user friendly.

Cons:

The reporting module is very difficult and we can never get reporting support, always told we need to contact professional services for non-complex reporting that should be basic reports. And don't like having to log in to a site to submit cases, would rather email and be able to see the email history versus signing in to review the full case.

Sage Intacct Grows With Your Company

Comments: Sage Intacct helps us close our books within our required reporting deadline of workday 5. Using integrations allows us to eliminate manual work. In addition, it is scalable so it can grow with us. No solution is perfect and others were researched prior to our decision to implementing Sage Intacct and we believe we made the right choice in selecting Sage Intacct

Pros:

I like the way that other programs, ADP Payroll and Ramp Visa integrate into Sage Intacct. That saves a lot of time.

Cons:

I dislike how deposits are posted in the general ledger. For example: If there's a deposit that contains multiple payments and the total deposit amount is not reflected in the Cash GL but it is posted by individual invoice line items. If a deposit of $20,000 contains 20 checks ( or credit card payments) from vendors that are paying multiple invoices (for this example, 5 invoices for each payment) the deposit total of $20K doesn't appear as a single debit to the Cash, GL account but 100 lines appear on the Cash GL.

Happy User!

Pros:

Always the latest and greatest technology that is very customizable to our needs.

Cons:

Support tickets are not the easiest to submit.

Sage Intacct experience

Comments: We have used almost 7 years and it has served us well in all aspects of accounting, payables, cash management, General Ledger and Reporting.

Pros:

Really good integrated accounting system with good modules and great reporting capabilities.

Cons:

No real cons. Some modules have some learning curve but not unmanageable. Would like to see improvement on Fixed Asset module. Ok as is but could be better integrated.

Robust financial system - Sage Intact

Comments: Experience with post software itself and with support have been positive. Believe that product has ‘top tier’ accounting / financial functionality at a ‘mid-tier’ price.

Pros:

Very robust system. Easy to give business users access to information and reporting that they need. Very good reporting capabilities.

Cons:

Very satisfied with product. Wished was a little certainty in long term product pricing.

Visibility into your business made easy

Comments: As the CFO, I find it easy to use and get to the information I need to run my business. It is also easy to onboard new accounting staff as the Sage University and many of the short tutorials help get them up to speed quickly.

Pros:

The ease of use in finding what you need. The ability to drill down quickly, to spin up adhoc reports, and the creation of dashboards that have all the key financial data at your fingertips.

Cons:

Sage Intacct is always looking to improve, and they have a democratic way to determine those improvements through the Sage Community voting system. This is great, but there are 4 releases per year and it is just hard to keep up with all the improvements!

An Accountant's Dream Accounting System

Comments: Wonderful. I have converted to Intacct for 3 different companies for which I've worked.

Pros:

Ease of use, creating reports is easy, importing journal entries

Cons:

Cannot zero out beginning of year balances of Non-Financial accounts. Balances roll over. Should have the option of zeroing out or balance forward at year-end.

Sage Intacct

Comments: Sage is user friendly, the reporting is very clear and transparent.

Pros:

Dimensions make reporting so much easier.

Cons:

We aren't able to batch AR Credit Card Payments or Email invoices, it must be done individually.

Sage Intacct - making complicated accounting more user friendly

Comments: Sage Intacct is a very decent system that I would recommend for the high volume client or med to large businesses. It is easy to manipulate but kind of difficult to learn all of the moving parts. It does integrate with a lot of other cloud based systems.

Pros:

Sage Intacct is a robust system that allows the user to manage many parts of their financials in one program.

Cons:

There are almost too many parts to the system that make it difficult to teach and understand. Posted vs non-posted accounts for one makes reconciling difficult at times.

Great for Small Company.

Comments: Grea experience - importing data when we converted was easy. Recommendation for a Consultant for complex bridging was a good experience.

Pros:

Ability to upload data. Used a great deal for Journal Entries and Input from Sales Software.

Cons:

The approval of Payables link doesn't take Approvers to the proper Company level.

Endless reports

Comments: I have always been a fan of Sage and continue to be.

Pros:

Reporting, Dashboards and statistical data. You can make a report on almost anything - setting them up however can be complex. I love being able to monitor non financial data in the statistical entries.

Cons:

The Fixed Asset module is far too complex and does not manage the reducing balance method in Britain currently. This was tested various times with ourselves and the implementation team.

Still beginners but growing into Sage

Pros:

It will accommodate our organization for many years to come. We are able to automate processes and we are learning how to use features in Sage at a deeper level.

Cons:

Our implementation was rough, but we have spoken to many who had lovely integrations and deployments! Speak up if you feel like your implementation team is just going through the motions.

Don't understand the hype

Comments: We bought a canned package for our industry which was supposedly pre setup out of the box. It wasn't, many of the functions are still not working such as ASC 606 Deferred Revenue. The implementation was a disaster and we are still fixing bugs so it is not working anywhere near the way it should.
The represented integrations turned out not to exist.
Also functionality which to me should just be part of the package are not and it seems when you bring it to their attention all they want to do is upsell you a support package to fix what should be integral to the package already.
Very disappointed if I had to do it over probably would have kept looking and not made the switch.
There were so many misrepresentations as to functionality and integrations it wasn't worth it.

Pros:

Ability to extract Data for reporting purposes

Cons:

The functionality is quite frankly poor at best. The user interface in 1980's.

Sage after 1 year

Comments: Overall , we are very happy with Sage. I would highly recommend it for Non Profits

Pros:

Ease of use, Reduces our month end close time by several days.

Cons:

Custom report writer is too difficult. Finding needed data requires support

Easy to learn

Comments: I enjoy it. It makes my day to day work easier and streamlined.

Pros:

The program is very easy to use. It does everything that I need it to do.

Cons:

Anytime I've had a problem it was very difficult to get any customer support

Committed Approach for Accounting Support

Comments: The program understands all the accounting needs, and it captures the dynamics in recording all transactions.

Pros:

The management of general ledger from the program is something useful.

Cons:

The commitment in matters accounting and cost reporting is something that makes the software error free.

Sage Intacct has great revenue recognition

Comments: Overall Sage Intacct has been a good accounting system for our company's needs but it could be better. I still research if there is a better system for us every time an Intacct does an update that breaks one of our processes. This happens at least once a year and it takes significant amount of time to resolve.

Pros:

I like Sage Intacct's ability to recognize revenue and bill differently by individual contract. Billing and revenue are independent but still linked on each contract.

Cons:

The support takes too long to have issue resolved. Time could be cut down by picking up the phone and calling the customer instead of back and forth in email.

Good product, easy to use

Comments: I use this on a daily basis for quite a few things and never had any issues.

Pros:

very user friendly, good support and service provided

Cons:

there is not much I don't like. I use this often and am very happy with it.

Sage Intacct: A Reliable Accounting and Financial Management Software

Pros:

The capabilities of Sage Intacct are incredible. Sage Intacct has been impressive and easy to use. It has been the best accounting and financial management tool.

Cons:

The features of Sage Intacct are incredible. No cons about Sage Intacct.

Sage Intaact makes life easy

Comments: My overall experience has been 10/10. I don't even remember having to learn Sage since it's so user intuitive.

Pros:

Customizable features throughout the platform, allows my team to all implement measures to help ourselves specifically and we can share these customized aspects together to hone the platform to what we need as a whole.

Cons:

Our Fixed Asset module is a little bothersome compared to the rest of the platform's features, but it in no way takes away from what Sage provides as a whole.

Can't think of a better Finance Management tool for growing companies

Comments: I've implemented Intacct at two separate companies so far, and both times it generated a great amount of value for the finance side. It gives you the ability to monitor and manage everything much more easily and systematically, and it also helps automate some of the repetitive finance processes, which is great for freeing up time for more important things.

Pros:

It's pretty much got endless features. Beyond stuff like invoices and ledger, you can set up advanced flows to automate a lot of your processes like creating invoices automatically based on the data it gets from your ERP tool. It also has a lot of native integrations which has made everything a lot easier for us.

Cons:

It's a bit hard to set up if you're not familiar with the functions of each module. It would be good to have better professional services.

Robust solution for financial management

Comments: Sage Intacct is a reliable and comprehensive platform that has significantly improved our financial processes. Its ability to automate tasks and generate accurate reports in a short amount of time has been of great value to our company.

Pros:

I like Sage Intacct for its ability to automate and streamline our financial processes. With just a few clicks, I can generate accurate and detailed financial reports in a matter of minutes. In addition, the ability to integrate data from different departments into a single platform has allowed us to have a complete, real-time view of our financial situation.

Cons:

I wish it offered a wider variety of customization options in terms of the visual appearance of the reports.
