Cetec ERP vs Sage Intacct

Likelihood to Recommend

For our business, Cetec ERP works very well because of all the capabilities it has with traceability, restrictions, and access, and having the data live for any user to see at the same time. The way the system is set up for order processing is more strict which is better for us since it helps with accuracy and traceability. For the production side, since our company is not a manufacturing site, it can be a little overwhelming since there are a lot of fields/data that we do not use, simply because it does not apply to us. Other than that module being a little too advanced for our company, all of the features included "out of the box" are well worth the affordable price that they have for this ERP system.

Easy to use, can access the program from anywhere, multiple users can access the different modules at the same time, and can access multiple companies at the same time. Good to use when having many different locations in different states and countries. Good for workers working remotely. Good to use with multiple currencies.

Cons

Role Descriptions: There are default roles that Cetec ERP has already created for you. However, these roles are not detailed as to what access each role has and it makes it difficult to assign these default roles.
Reporting: While Cetec ERP's default reports are detailed, there is only minimal customization of reports allowed out of the box. They do have an add-on available for purchase where you can freely customize reports, but our company isn't at that point to purchase this add-on as we only need a small bit of customization beyond what comes out of the box.

If you use an allocation to post an entry, the GL detail report currently does not show how that allocation split the entry. The report shows what allocation was used, but does not show you which customer, department, and class the revenue or expense was coded to.
Search fields for GL entries, AR, and AP can only be used by knowing the start of what you are searching for. For instance, if you have a customer named The Funny Pages, your search has to start with The. You cannot type in just Funny or Pages.
Search fields for dates [are] limited. If I want to filter on all March 2021 journal entries, I can only filter on 03 (March) which would pull in March entries across all years in the system, or I could type 03/31/2021, but that would only give me entries for that specific date. There is [no] way to tell the system to give me all entries for March 2021 only.

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.

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.

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.

I would not use a thrid party administrator to implement your system, especially if you are going to be modifying the system at all. Use Intacct implementors as they will be able to better support you on any issues that come up after you go live.

Sage Intacct is far superior to Sage 50. The majority of Sage 50 required the exclusive use of the UI. In a company with many different transactions across multiple entities, it was very challenging to manage processes that impact multiple locations all at once. The efficiency gained from the change has been very impactful.
