Pros

Braintree has excellent integration with the BigCommerce platform. The switch of our previous payment processing gateway to Braintree was very easy and only required a few clicks.
Tying into Braintree's BigCommerce integration, for company's like ours that are on the BigCommerce enterprise plan, Braintree's rates for BigCommerce enterprise customers are extremely competitive and saved us money.
Braintree has a pretty easy to use portal that can be accessed through the same login we use for PayPal which we are using in conjunction with Braintree with ease.
I've only had to call Braintree twice and my customer service issues were handled extremely quickly and easily.

Cons

Not a very good subscription management platform for a Saas business, but they make up for it on the API with others that are
Doesn't have a lot of additional features, but that's what you'd expect out of a payment processor
Very expensive per transaction, but the reality is that any processor who helps early stage companies accept online payments are expensive.

The AP approval workflow only allows for one level of approval unlike the journal entry approval workflow which allows for multiple levels, i.e. employee's manager first before controller.
There's no easy way to substitute approver on vacation.
Report capability should allow users to include unposted entries, so we don't have to post first to see if we did the entries wrong or not.

The ease of use as a seasoned user is wonderful; however, new users struggle to adapt to the program efficiently. Better training videos--all in one location--would be beneficial. The use of a "sandbox" environment is a great tool for new employees or for the fiscal department to test certain journal entries or other transactions to verify accuracy of data.

Their support is a joke. There's nothing "supportive" about them. Every time I call in with an issue no one has an answer or even a recommendation. I am put on hold and no one ever comes back. It's time to find another processor.

Only a few times have we had to reach out to support, and every time we did, we received a relatively quick response and a solution was found fairly quickly. Only once was there an issue that took longer than a week to resolve, but it still did eventually get solved.

I have taken in person training classes at several of the annual Sage Intacct user conferences. It is very interactive and the trainers are very easy to follow and understand. They are great at getting everyone in the class involved. They also make sure everyone has learned to task before moving to a new one.

It was great for generic training but we had the system modified by our third party implementer and a lot of that was not covered in various training's that we received or took online. Attended Advantage last year and that as super helpful in learning a lot of the intricacies of the system.

If you are using a third party implementation partner, make sure both parties lay out expectations up front. Do not be afraid to ask questions of your implementation partner and know what your agreement contains. We did have to ask for the training to be scheduled even though that was part of our agreement

Alternatives Considered

The price and quality has been a part of why we chose Braintree as our main payment method. We started with PayPal but as the business was growing, we needed a system that was easy to implement to get paid by cards. We looked into Stripe, but it was more difficult to implement, and had a higher starting cost.
