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.
For starters, ease of access works so much better in Intacct. Additionally, the availability of options for entering information into the software far exceeds what we've seen in other software, enabling more accurate reporting. The audit history also helps a ton when we're …
I have used them in different ways and like both for accounting specifics.

Sage 50 and QuickBooks are "smaller systems," whereas Intacct has the potential for system integrations, reporting and dashboards beyond what we've had in the past.

Skip, as I do not have experience with similar products.
I used D365 in my previous roles and Netsuite. While Netsute is great Sage is much more accounting friendly and allows up to do things like reversing JEs as opposed to booking two separate ones which can be time consuming.
Sage 300 seemed to be an easier platform to use at my previous employer as it is similar to Sage Intacct we improvements I had issues with on Sage 300. Adagio on the other hand has been dated for some time now, and has many issues that have not been addressed for many years as …
Sadly miss our former finance software...... it wasn't perfect but so much better for user and for report gathering...... looking up easy reference.... Vendor invoicing, Asset Management, Journal Entries, Purchase Order Processing, etc. SO MUCH BETTER. I wasn't part of the …
The big advantage of Sage Intacct is that it maintains the "usability" of QuickBooks Online, but the multi-entity functionality of Sage is incredible. It does everything that we used to like about Quickbooks, but the additional features and capabilities better serve our needs …
Sage Intacct is definitely superior to these. Stampli is used for invoice processing, it is good but limited, Intacct is definitely more powerful and includes many more services. Although I am not very familiar with Quickbooks, from the little that I saw, it is not nearly as …
Sage Intacct is best suited for large or small office environments where you have many people in different offices and fields who need to log different working hours, training sessions, hand over sessions, overtime shifts, stand by shifts and leave. The function to leave …
We selected Sage Intacct because I used it before and thought it was ok then and based on their sales pitch thought they had come along way from their earlier short comings, I feel I was wrong and their sales rep was convincing. Nothing that he indicated had been improved in …
Intacct is significantly easier to use and more modern than Sage 300, and has a much higher "ceiling" than QuickBooks; you can just do a lot more things, and the system doesn't have the same training wheels that QuickBooks has at times. Being cloud-based and able to upload …
I only used QuickBooks to export historical transactions to then import into Sage Intacct but Sage Intacct seemed to be laid out better and the interface was cleaner and intuitive.
I think Sage's comparison with the listing system software has a better, friendlier interface that improves the user experience. The support videos are also a plus, as they are not offered by all other software, which makes it easy to train new hires of the company. This saves …
Sage Intacct is great for companies that have a bunch of subcompanies, like we do. Unfortunately, it's not extremely convenient if your company is a solo small company, as the website can be overwhelming and not suit their particular company needs. The vast amount of reports and options are simply not needed.
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.
As a CPA in public accounting, I was exposed to many systems. I was in on the ground floor with the implementation of NetSuite for a client; it was clunky, the reporting was ugly, and it wasn’t user friendly. Sage Intacct is a great option for mid-size organizations who have outgrown Quickbooks.
Sage Intacct has made a very positive impact to our business objectives; it has provided strong ROI through automation features that reduce manual data input and associated risk of error, enhancing accuracy and operational efficiency.
It empowers us to make data-driven decisions that further refine our strategic plan by bettering the process of financial close with real-time and detailed reporting.
This also extends to multi-entity management, which eased consolidation and thus supported growth and scaling. This feature-rich software finally serves to drive productivity further and facilitate resource usage.
