Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct

I use it for Accounting. Recording transactions and generating reports on a daily basis.

Pros

  • Exporting data to Excel
  • Uploading journal entries

Cons

  • running financial reports with less limitations on "building"
  • clearer navigation within the software
  • it gets the job done
  • not user friendly
I love intercompany transactions, consolidated financials, and the ability to schedule a reversing journal entry!
I have a company that has about 10 different entities, so consolidated financials with the ability to easily run intercompany transactions is such a life-saver!
A vendor helped, but some reports were set up internally.

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

Not sure

Are you happy with Sage Intacct's feature set?

No

Did Sage Intacct live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Sage Intacct go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Sage Intacct again?

Yes

Sage is much better for consolidated financials and intercompany transactions, but not as user-friendly as QuickBooks. I do also like that Intacct has controls overbooking any cash-related entries--that you cannot delete, you must back out and enter and re-book. This is great for more experienced accountants, however, if you are a novice or bookkeeping, this may be obnoxious for you if you frequently book/update your entries.
I think like software it gets the accounting done, but it is not very user-friendly. This software is not for entry-level accounting/finance persons. As a seasoned Accountant, I'm even struggling with navigating to basic reports, such as P&L from X-date to X-date. Like why is such a standard reporting option not easily available? I do like that there are a lot of data classification choices, which makes exporting the data and analyzing it through pivot tables (for example) much better. The data collected within Intacct is better than other softwares I've used.
