Deltek Vantagepoint vs. Sage Intacct

It is well suited to connecting customer relationship databases and a project lifecycle. Business development people and other personnel should be able to get good use out of it in their daily jobs and functions. It is helpful to keep a record of ongoing projects and new pursuits among the team.

It worked well for our company, and we have multiple entities in multiple industries. The hardest part of our implementation was combining all 40 charts of accounts into one big one, so I would be careful with that for sure. The other big hiccup was with a third party that was not as ready for the go-live date as they indicated, so I would say just keep on top of them, especially if they do not have direct API integration.

• Sage Intacct filters lists for easy access.
• The drill down feature is phenomenal; I previously exported data to Excel and summarized using pivot tables and with the reporting capability and flexibility at my fingertips, I have to power to enable other users to drilldown and lookup status of payment requests and such independently.

• User interface could be cleaner.
• It is a bit complicated.
• It could be more focused on marketing.

• I have to spend a good amount of time going into scheduled reports individually to change the subject, date, etc. I would like to make the change once and impact an entire group of scheduled reports. Maybe be able to control the time of day the reports go out instead of when they do go out now.

Sage Intacct is continuously evolving and increasing it's functionalities. I am excited to attend conferences to learn what is in the roadmap for future releases. Additionally, using Sage Intacct allows me grow as a professional, I am really enjoy the knowledge that I have within the product to be able to share my experiences.

It is ok to use; it is not the easiest to use in terms of usability and user-friendliness but it is not the worst. It still feels somewhat outdated. Many cloud options are cleaner or look more modern. But it is good enough and you should be able to get the hang of it.

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.

There has only been one occurrence where Sage Intacct was not available to me, however I had already been working a number of hours trying to get a project completed. It honestly allowed me to step back and take a much needed break.

As fas as integration is concerned I don't feel this slows Sage Intacct down at all. However, sometimes I do feel it takes some larger reports more time to load due to all the detail. As well as, I "move very fast" in my motions so sometimes I double click on fuctions too quickly and the system seems to think that I have a duplicate request.

I would rate Deltek VantagePoint highly in terms of the overall support. You can receive support any time you need it and there is a representative from Deltek assigned to your account so that you can always get the help when you need it. Sometimes, they want to go more in-depth than I would like, however.

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.

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.

BQE Core. I think that BQE Core is definitely harder to use, and has a lot of features atleast from the users perspective that dont seem entirely neccesary. Deltek is very straight forward and easy to use.

Sage Intacct is more user-friendly compared to NetSuite however, I prefer NetSuite's report builder. Sage Intacct has multiple report builders but it is often a learning process to know which ones to use and you may find yourself switching between the two tools often. Although, NetSuite shows comparative financials and multiple currencies without needing to create a custom report. Sage Intacct's help and support are a lot easier to work with compared to NetSuite. The rest of the modules are virtually identical; so it comes down to the trade-off between these two features.

There is so much that we have yet to learn with and about Sage Intacct, I am excited for the future.

• It has been very helpful to have [...] software that has more remote capabilities since more people are working remote these days - approvals can be done in the system.
• It is helpful to be able to attach documents to an entry, such as a JE or an AP invoice.
• Training on the program is expensive (at least for a fairly small nonprofit organization!), so it has been a little difficult to learn on our own as we go - not everything is as intuitive as you would expect it to be.
