Sage Intacct had an easier learning curve than Oracle IMO
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage is definitely less complicated to maneuver around and navigate through than SAP... SAP had more ability to add things like customer account notes and lots of detail, but it also created a very overwhelming and difficult to learn system. I would definitely recommend Sage …

In my experience, Sage Intacct is perfect for clients with complex financial accounting needs, such as a company with multiple entities or large-scale operations. In my experience, individual short term rental owners who have one property and simple accounting needs typically benefit more from a smaller scale accounting platform, such as Quickbooks.

Paycor is well suited for integrations. It has helped us by streamlining and automating key HR and Payroll processes, which reduces manual work and makes our day to day operations much more efficient. Customer service is an area that could use improvement. Response times are often slow and it typically requires consistent follow up to get a case fully resolved.

  • Onboarding works very well for us with a lot of Self-Service for employees it gives us time back and ensures data accuracy is in the employees control.
  • Recruiting works well because it links to specific jobs and automatically posts jobs when an employee is separated from service.
  • Tax filings work fairly well for us and have always been accurate.

Cons
Sage
  • Downloading bill register reports for all the entities at the top level would be helpful.
  • An increase in the Time frame of the Auto-Log out feature for security will be helpful.
  • I think there is some room in the automation part that can be improved.

  • Administrative/C-Suite level of canned reports and dashboards
  • Displaying company reminders or documents to sign that are urgent in a way that doesn’t allow an employee to clock out until they have completed the task.
  • More options to build an org chart

Price point is the biggest driving factor. Paycor has made some strides in the customer service area and we've seen enough improvements that renewing our contract has become more a reality than a pipe dream. The system functions well and our employees are familiar with how it works, so to make a change would be a huge lift for our team

Usability
Sage
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.

It’s really easy to use for admins and employees.
The interface is nice the mobile app is really easy. There are a lot of great solution and integrations. Over all the this a good product and mostly works well. In times of critical need there have been some hiccups. A

Reliability and Availability
Sage
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.

Paycor Inc
I feel like Paycor is always up and running! If they are planning downtime, they communicate it clearly. Every once in a while, I get something that says the system isn't working but it is usually back up within the hour. I typically find by the time that the employees complain about it, that it is resolved within the system.

Performance
Sage
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.
Read full review
Paycor Inc
For the most part, everything moves super fast. There are a few sections (Expense Management) that sometimes take a bit to load correctly. Or if they are interesting, it takes a minute to talk to each other! But reports are quickly downloaded and available! Even data heavy reports run fairly fast!

Support Rating
Sage
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.

Paycor Inc
I feel like support will transfer you back and forth between departments and put you on hold forever. I believe it is very difficult to see the status of an open ticket. During my experience, it feels like the client has to push all communication and request updates from support regularly.

In-Person Training
Sage
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.

Online Training
Sage
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.

Paycor Inc
The online trainings are super helpful. They have user guides that you can read through, interactive training that will walk you through it as well as plain web based ones. I've actually never had an in-person training but all of the information you need can be found online. They also will do individual support training if you are struggling with a certain area.

Implementation Rating

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.

Implementation of any new software is going to be challenging, especially if you are maintaining an existing program concurrently. When it is time for dual-processing (both old and new software) prior to going live, be prepared to be stressed. But trust the process and it will be over soon.

Alternatives Considered

Sage Intacct is an upgrade from Sage 50 in most areas. Sage 50 became quite slow and crashed quite often, whereas Sage Intacct is much quicker. However, now we have thousands of transactions the imports have started to take a while. For example AR receipts imports can take up to 15 minutes if they are a couple thousand lines, but still quicker than Sage 50.

I gave it a 10 because we only use it across one organization. However, it has allowed us to break it into multiple departments and layers of management. It is also easy for us to utilize across different locations but still under one master company. They have always provided us support when we decide to change something on an organizational level

Return on Investment
Sage
  • The availability of data in real-time has helped with better decision making
  • Instead of dealing with paper invoices, we can get department head approvals electronically
  • We were able to get rid of an on-site server for the old accounting system - glad to be in the cloud

Paycor Inc
  • It has freed me up to do more of the fun things we wanted to do in HR, outside of basic policy/evals/payroll.
  • It has challenged my brain and learning. It's both frustrating and empowering to be able to configure the system when Paycor can't.
