Fast, accurate, and extremely scalable
The most valuable feature is that it is a cloud-based system so I can access it from anywhere, with any browser, on any device. It's the only major accounting ERP system on the market that was designed specifically for the cloud, the other ones were adapted to the cloud. Intacct was always designed with the cloud in mind, and it shows. Additionally, its multi-entity design is elegant, intuitive, and easy to master. Transacting and reporting across all entities from a single log-in is fantastic The user interface is sleek and consistent throughout the software, enabling users to adapt quickly and to work efficiently. The financial report writer is comprehensive and designed to enhance the user experience. I eliminated all of my Excel-based financial reports. The sub-ledgers are well designed and provide the user with tools and functions that improve efficiency.
Joseph Daniel - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable and flexible platform with significant challenges related to complexity, cost management, and the need for skilled personnel
There are a couple of significant challenges we're currently facing. First, our production team can't make use of the production planning features, as they require a Professional license and we only have access to the Logistics license, which is limiting our capabilities. The majority of the reports we generate are intended for managerial purposes. While most reports are straightforward to comprehend, there are a few exceptions that can be quite complex. It would be beneficial to have access to real-time data from our machines. This is crucial for monitoring all activities within our manufacturing processes, from software operations to the machinery used.

"The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"The product is easy to use."
"We also use some of the other Sage solutions and for the most part, everything was integrated in the manner that I found beneficial."
"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"It's a powerhouse and it delivers. It has really great audit trails in it, which add so much value that the other systems don't have."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to access it from anywhere."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Business One is its reporting capability."

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"There's a little bit of room for improvement in the way that accounts payable approval workflows are set up. They could be a little more powerful than they are."
"The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management."
"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."
"It would be good if the training were perfect for all controllers, to teach them the basic tools and how to use everything in Sage Intacct."
"While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"We have had some pharma manufacturers use Intacct at a very early stage and move to other ERP packages to maintain manufacturing controls and documentation needed for FDA-regulated entities."
"Not a ten because it's not software for a structured company or something very big. That is my impression."
"I would like SAP to replace Business One's fixed Web client with a native Web solution. Right now, their remote access is based on RVP. We have to access the solution through a Windows-based client. It's not a native Web interface."
"I feel that these vendors must be well trained so that they can deploy this solution."
"It is hard for the customers to get the product from the market. Improvement-wise, it can shorten its time to reach the markets."
"Analytics could be much better."
"The reporting can be improved. Also, it is an expensive solution, and you need consultants for new interfaces as it's very rigid otherwise."
"The look-and-feel of the system is quite outdated as compared to a lot of other products out there."
"The AI tools, programming languages, and dashboard customization should be easier."

"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."

"On average, the licensing costs can be around 50,000 USD. Pricing of the product has certain variables, including the number of licenses and the implementation costs."
"There is an annual licensing fee, and it changes once you add or remove users. The solution is on the upper-end side and expensive."
"Though I cannot specifically state whether SAP Business One on AWS is a cheap or expensive product, I can surely say that it is a manageable tool from a cost perspective."
"The product's license is expensive. It could be cheaper."
"We have an annual cost for licensing and storage in AWS."
