Considered Both Products

Chose Expensify
I am unaware of any competitors, but I am VERY happy with Expensify. At this point, we are not interested in shopping for any other alternatives. The only case that we have made for switching away from Expensify would be switching to an ERP (Sage Intacct) which is capable of …
Chose Expensify
Before Expensify we used bank cards connected to our general checking account and then later we had separate credit card accounts. Expensify is the best of both worlds. They integrate with our accounting software so we have real time data on what is being spent, but like a …
Chose Expensify
I did not like Concur compared to Expensify. They may have made improvements since I used it over 4 years ago but it was very difficult to import reports into Oracle and we had to a manual upload. It was also not very user friendly compared to Expensify and employees and …
Sage Intacct
Chose Sage Intacct
We use MineralTree as a third-party accounts payable integration for some of our entities. We use Expensify as a third-party expense integration for our main entity.
Chose Sage Intacct
Both bill.com and Expensify integrate seamlessly with the Sage Intacct environment. We understand that they now offer their own billing and expense software. We have briefly explored these, but we will need to do more. Either way, both options work great with the system offered.
Chose Sage Intacct
We still use BILL and Expensify to sync into Sage Intacct. The other accounting systems were not as strong on the multi-entity consolidation setup so Sage Intacct had made it easier for us overall, in terms of processes, closing schedule, and management.
Chose Sage Intacct
I like to tell people that Sage Intacct is similar to Netsuite in its ease of use (quite user friendly and easy to adopt) and significantly easier than SAP’s ERP system. It is also leaps and bounds better and more comprehensive than Quickbooks.
Chose Sage Intacct
We did not select Sage Intacct, but went with QuickBooks Online. A much better program- easier to set up, easier to facilitate, and better support.
Chose Sage Intacct
Selecting Sage Intacct was not a choice that I was part of as it pre-dates my time at the company.
Chose Sage Intacct
We migrated from Quickbooks as we became more and more aware that that software was not keeping up with our business needs and that more sophisticated software would allow us to automate and save time in the long run. While we were evaluating Sage Intacct, we also evaluated …
Chose Sage Intacct
I've mentioned earlier that Intacct is unmatched in their capabilities. Other programs, such as Quickbooks, or even other iterations of Sage software like Sage 100, does not compare to those of Sage Intacct. I believe Sage Intacct is the most user-friendly in terms of being …
Chose Sage Intacct
It is more accurate, has customized options, and is very flexible. It is easy to provide the date by creating customized reports.
Chose Sage Intacct
We left Financial Force for Sage Intacct, which is in every way superior for our needs.
Chose Sage Intacct
They do not have the same accounting or reporting capabilities as Sage Intacct.
Other programs specialize in specific areas that are customized where Sage Intacct gives you from Beginning to End Accounting and record keeping that is easily accessible and auditable.
Chose Sage Intacct
The BILL application is used by our organization to code the Bills or Invoices and integrated with Sage Intacct through a regular sync and Intacct supports very excellently to record the financial transactions and keep the Client books more accurate,
Chose Sage Intacct
We liked the look and feel of Sage Intacct and it's customization potential. We also liked the number of fields and dimensions included in the system.
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage Intacct is very user friendly and provides lot of report dimensions which is not that common in other products. Being simple and dynamic to the needs of the user sets Sage Intacct apart from its competitors. Its adaptability to other system is swift and easily implemented. …
Chose Sage Intacct
I selected Sage Intacct because it is useful for small and big enterprises. It is easy to maintain books of accounts. It is easy to generate reports. It is easy to customize reports as per our requirements. It is easy to maintain Time and Expense module. It is easy to maintain …
Chose Sage Intacct
This was not very user friendly and we need to do so many function for getting a single output also the reports which were generated for dynamics were not very proper and to generate 1 report it was taking so much of time so the time which Sage Intacct uses is very less …

Chose Sage Intacct
We use BILL workflow for AP which very user-friendly experience with Sage Intacct. We almost don’t get into Sage Intacct for Accounts Payable once it is integrated as Sage Intacct works very well with BILL. We also have the same kind of experience which is easy to integrate. We …

The Bills are coded by AP and AR using the BILL application and integrated with Sage Intacct through a sync run and it supports very effectively to record the transactions and keep the books accurate in the Sage Intacct books which is a primary requirement from the Client to …
Chose Sage Intacct
In my experience, Sage Intacct offers more accommodating features.
Chose Sage Intacct
Intacct is very competitive with other products we’ve looked at. They offer the same modules. Their pricing might be more expensive but it was worth it for us to stick with them rather than make a switch to a completely new system. Our Intacct rep has always worked with us to …

I think it's really good for small businesses. At least in the way we use it. It's very good for keeping an eye on employee spending in nearly real time. I'm not sure how it works for larger companies when there is a larger number of people to keep track of.

Sage Intacct is well suited for organizations that have outgrown a basic accounting system and need real integrations, better reporting, and the ability to centralize financial operations without significantly adding headcount. For us specifically, it was the right fit because we needed to connect multiple systems, bring invoicing in house, and give leadership real time visibility into our financials. It works particularly well for small but complex finance teams that need the system to absorb work rather than create it.
The system is powerful but it requires someone who understands accounting well enough to configure and maintain it properly. It is also worth noting that some of the more advanced features, like bank feeds and certain automation capabilities, can be harder to fully utilize depending on your banking relationships and technical setup.

Pros
Expensify

  • Custom, real-time financial reporting. I am able to streamline my reporting to pull in various account groups and calculations which save me time from having to do it in Excel.
  • Out of the box standard reports for clients who don't require as custom of reporting or even as a great starting point to build out reports.
  • Integrations with other platforms, such as Airbase, various banks, Rippling, etc.
  • The dashboard module is extremely helpful in my monthly review of various entities.

Cons
Expensify
  • I wish that I could sync accounts on the back end kind of like with banking software, so that Expensify would automatically port over receipts for recurring expenses as soon as they're available
  • It would be nice to one-click submit an expense all the way through instead of having to attach it to a report
  • Wackier profile icons? :) Not a big deal. This software is pretty much amazing as it is now, and typically the urge to update and modify very good software leads to poor outcomes!

  • The budgeting module is archaic. It needs to have more application features, including tracking changes made throughout the year.
  • The creation of reports is complicated and lacks sufficient filtering options during the process.
  • The Purchasing module should be more flexible, allowing users to add change orders to an existing PO rather than creating a new one.

Usability
Expensify
My rating of 8 out of 10 for Expensify's overall usability reflects its strong performance in empowering individual users and streamlining core expense processes, while acknowledging that there are specific areas, particularly on the administrative or enterprise side, where the user experience could be further refined. Exceptional End-User Experience (for basic tasks).Automation & Time-Saving Features.Clear Workflow for Approvers. Why it's not a perfect 10 (areas for improvement that dock points): Limited corporate bank to choose from, limited multi-currency to pay to ( for instance, as a foreign corporatio,n i cannot pay with my US account to Israeli employees, or pay to our UK employees)

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.

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.

Our rep has been amazing. He has built custom reports for us that have been very time consuming and difficult. Our reps are also currently looking into new submission solutions for us that we are excited about. They came up with this and recommended it on their own without me complaining about an issue. They are about our success and are very excited about the product they offer.

The free training is very minimal. For what we pay for the service, I would like more training. We end up training new users in-house because the provided free training is not nearly comprehensive enough. That being said, the training provided, for the material covered, was adequate and relevant for the given topics.

The implementation process went rather smoothly, linking it to the bank and cards was handled easily. without too many unnecessary steps.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Expensify
It is definitely 10 times better than using an Excel spreadsheet. We are talking a digitized with AI type capabilities to do the work for you. It’s honestly a lifesaver. This beats manual calculations and data entry any day. Scanning 100 receipts and saving them to pdf files not only takes space on your storage but it is an extra unnecessary step

Sage Intacct was selected as the best fit for our core financial management needs, reporting requirements, and finance team operating model. Sage Intacct’s dimensional model was a major factor. It allowed us to report by department, entity, business unit, customer, vendor, project, or other dimensions without creating an overly complex chart of accounts. The approval workflows, transaction history, supporting documentation, and reporting structure helped strengthen financial controls.

  • We went from paying credit card fees with no approval process to a no fees and complex approval processes.
  • I personally save time in not having to develop a spend report I just have my admin assistent fill in the details of the auto generated report and it is done. Went from an hour long process to 5- 10 minutes max to prepare a high quality audit ready report.

  • Positive - It runs better than our old software when we all work together, rather than having to sign off on each other and deal with syncing issues.
  • Negative - It's not as easy to go back to fix an amount, a date, etc. Sometimes, a very small mistake needs to be corrected by voiding and redoing the entire transaction.
  • We can successfully sync other software we use with Intacct! It reduces workload when things are automated.
