Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct

Our team chose Sage Intacct in mid-2018 to replace QuickBooks Enterprise Desktop edition due to the reporting and dimensions capability. We were also able to cut down manual processes and set up integrations for payment via our bank, expense reporting via Expensify, and AP approval workflows via bill.com and Intacct has cut down the transaction entry portion of our close from ~11 to ~6 business days allowing for a much smoother and less time-consuming 10-day close process. The system is used by the Finance and Accounting teams as all approvals from other departments are made within the integrated systems that the company already had set up. Overall, much cleaner and suited for mid-size companies than Quickbooks - highly recommend.
  • Reporting capability to assess spend per customer, location, or dept.
  • Integrations and data import templates that eliminate inefficient manual data input.
  • Audit trail available by user.
  • Some glitches in the expense reporting module that have workarounds but could use improvement.
  • Could use an improved fixed asset module. We use one of the third party add-ons but AP integration is not great.
  • Increased data entry efficiency - import templates readily available for all processes and integrations for AP-side accounting are great.
NetSuite's custom solution was better suited for larger, multi-entity enterprises that may need custom-built integrations but the costs associated with servicing the software and maintenance if any of those customizations broke were not worth it for us.

Workday didn't seem worth the cost and our company was not going to switch over our payroll software so we couldn't justify the cost for just the financial module.

Quickbooks, our former software, is better suited for smaller companies that need a simple solution. The GL reporting capabilities were too primitive for the stage that our company is currently in.
  • Reporting and integrations.
  • User interface.
  • Does a nice job of staying true to accounting concepts in its presentation of each part of the full-cycle accounting process.
