Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct

We have recently switched to use Sage Intacct as our primary accounting software. We use it within our Finance Department for general ledger, accounts payable, reporting, budgeting, and fixed asset management. We also use the dashboard functionality with budget owners across our whole organization. For us, Sage Intacct provided us with an accounting software that integrated much more seamlessly with other platforms we use and provided much more robust reporting.
  • Basic accounting functionality.
  • Integration with other platforms.
  • Reporting.
  • Steep learning curve for reporting (because it is SO capable).
  • Some quirks in integrations.
  • PO functionality didn't serve us (but that might be more a reflection on how we're structured, not the software).
  • Although we're still learning, it has improved reporting for our organization.
  • Time-neutral on Accounts Payable (about the same time we were spending on it).
  • Improved integration with credit card program, saving employee's time.
We have partly benefited from the automation of core financial processes, including general ledger, accounts payable, and fixed asset management. We do not utilize accounts receivable or order management, so our perspective is somewhat limited. However, for the aspects that we do use, we are pleased with how they integrate and make core processes simpler and more streamlined.
We do not presently use most of these advanced modules.
My score on this is simply because it is such a massive undertaking to implement a new general ledger software. We did not implement it ourselves, nor did we use Sage Intacct's implementation, we contracted a third party consultant to help us implement it, which felt almost necessary due to the complexity of the project. It went smoothly and I do not feel that there was anything wrong with Sage Intacct's implementation product or process, it was just a massive project and certainly requires significant time and resources.

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 capability. Since switching to Sage Intacct, we have been able to have more seamless integrations with the other platforms our organization uses and are beginning to increase the reporting capability and visibility for users outside our department.
Sage Intacct is a highly functional and modern accounting software that would be well-suited for mid to large companies/organizations. There is definitely a cost factor to it and that is part of why I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to smaller organizations. It also has so much capability that it is better suited for more robust finance departments. Overall, however, we have been very pleased with it and would recommend it to others!
