Sage Intacct is a cloud ERP system targeted at high-growth small and medium-sized businesses. Intacct includes applications for core financials and accounting, purchasing, order management, and financial reporting and business intelligence. It also integrates with 3rd party software like Salesforce.
We were using Sage 100 before moving to Sage Intacct. Sage 100 was great but it doesn’t integrate with a lot of other products that can help automate a lot of our manual processes. The integration with our other partners and the automation of reports are the reason I am excited …
We used Great Plains previously. Sage Intacct is miles and miles ahead of that product. I feel like we went from the stone ages to the new millennium. Significant enhancement of capabilities.
Intacct reminds me of QuickBooks. Account name-driven features may be intuitive for non-accounting professionals, but they can make the backend work harder for teams who know and understand the chart of accounts, etc. They should have kept the GL chart of accounts as the driver …
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, …
Sage Intacct is miles ahead of the above systems we have used. We chose Sage Intacct for its all-in-one integration with accounting and reporting (no need to sync data with another reporting tool), as well as its ability to report on a multi-location basis. We did consider …
Sage Intacct is very similar to Netsuite, but I think the project reporting within Sage is simpler and easier to manage. Sage Intacct is much more robust than Quickbooks or most other softwares, but it is also significantly more expensive. I highly recommend to use Sage …
Prior to Sage Intacct, we used MIP Fund Accounting. MIP Fund Accounting was a solid, basic general ledger and accounting software. For our organization, however, it felt dated and limited in its capability - specifically integration with other platforms and reporting …
Sage blows both Quickbooks and Xero out of the water. if you're considering Sage Intacct for your business, you're already well out of your depth for what Quickbooks can handle for your business. Xero is alright -- i'd consider it an "in-between" of QB and Sage. But if you're …

Quickbooks is much slower and outdated when compared to Sage Intacct. Sage Intacct also provides ease of use.
It helped with uploading bills, identifying errors and making the necessary corrections.

We decided to go with Sage Expense Management (Fyle) for our employee expense management. There were some initial challenges in the beginning (we had some customization), but, after several months, the two systems seems to pair well together (with minimal issues)

I feel like Sage is the perfect program for our organization size and need. I have previously used QuickBooks and some of the functionalities in the program weren't used and yet we were billed for. Our organization fully uses all of the features that Sage has to offer. …
I would say it is well-suited when the company has multiple entities, brands, departments, or business lines and needs consolidated reporting. For example, if an organization operates across different legal entities or business divisions, finance can maintain separate books while still producing consolidated financial statements. This is useful when leadership needs both a roll-up view and entity-specific reporting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 very similar to Netsuite, but I think the project reporting within Sage is simpler and easier to manage. Sage Intacct is much more robust than Quickbooks or most other softwares, but it is also significantly more expensive. I highly recommend to use Sage Intacct if your business is large enough to handle the price tag.
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.
