Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct

I led the selection and implementation of a new GL software package for a nonprofit client. We chose Sage Intacct as a replacement for QuickBooks desktop, which was not in the cloud, did not allow cross-company reporting, and was clunky. Sage Intacct is cloud-based, easy to use, and provides robust reporting and dashboards that you can share with others.
  • Easy to customize dashboards.
  • Lots of import templates.
  • Multiple report templates.
  • Would like a more robust user forum.
  • More nonprofit friendly report templates.
  • Allows C suite folks to understand company financials.
  • Cloud based usage during remote work is critical.
Every software program has its own set of rules and language that you need to learn. The implementation was slightly tedious but necessary. The online forums are not as robust as I am used to as QuickBooks has excellent online/free support. Once you get the hang of it, it is a great solution for companies that want a robust cloud based GL software package.
In my opinion, it can take too long to get an answer, that you then have to pay for. Also, it was much easier (and free) to get QuickBooks support, but QuickBooks has been around longer so that is to be somewhat expected, as there are lots of online QuickBooks user forums.

Do you think Sage Intacct delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Yes

Did Sage Intacct live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Sage Intacct go as expected?

No

Would you buy Sage Intacct again?

Yes

We use a sync with an outside AP vendor which has been a huge timesaver for us. We do not use a sync for AR, but I know that many companies do and it is a bonus for them as well. We do not have orders to manage as we don't sell a physical product.
Sage Intacct is more robust than QuickBooks. It allows easier cross departmental and cross company reporting. It also allows easy dashboard creation and reporting. It is a full service software package that anyone who has used business software programs will be able to figure out after some training. I would recommend this to others.
It is great for any company looking for a cloud based accounting software package that has reporting, dashboards, and easy to use imports.

It is not great for a very small company (perhaps with less than 10 employees and a budget under $5 million).
