Sushant S - PeerSpot reviewer
Sage Intacct Technical Consultant at a manufacturing company with 11-50 employees
Has reduced manual effort through customization and streamlined API-based integrations
The best features Sage Intacct offers include the import functionality, support for customization, and the platform that allows me to modify whatever I want. The triggers and reports are built very well and user-friendly, so I can modify this, and this is one of the best features it provides. The import functionality helps because once I download the template from Sage Intacct, I can fill out the specific columns with the data that I need to import into the system, and it will do the work instead of adding those details manually. The platform services allow me to add functionalities such as sending an email once I generate any AP bill or approve vendors. Additionally, I can call external API services or Sage Intacct API to validate those fields, which is good for users. Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization through improved collaboration and saved time. I can import data easily, and since it is user-friendly, I encounter fewer errors. For example, the work I used to do in one or two days now gets completed in one or two hours.

​​It's a robust solution with no issues​. In my view, it is necessary to introduce another way to create reports apart from MS Excel.
There are no tutorials or wizards inside the tool, and I think they would be very useful sometimes. Having said that, I suspect that it is one of the SAP's strategies, because they get a lot of money from SAP training and don't want people learning who to work with their products on their own. There is another thing as well which could be improved. In my view, it is necessary to introduce another way to create reports apart from MS Excel, and it must be a way that can be exploited through mobile devices as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best features Sage Intacct offers are automated inter-company reconciliation and the fixed asset module, which is extremely useful as well."
"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"I would strongly recommend any entity that has a need for software that is easily implementable and that's already structured to use the services."
"We also use some of the other Sage solutions and for the most part, everything was integrated in the manner that I found beneficial."
"The main advantage of Sage Intacct is the import modules, which we found very easy because we were handling large sets of data to import."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
"The most significant advantage of this solution is its pure cloud-based nature."
"Overall, Sage Intacct has helped us move faster, improve accuracy, and make better-informed decisions with real-time data."
"Up to the implementation of the application, it used to take weeks to the consolidation team to carry out the entire, monthly, financial consolidation, now it takes them just one or two days to perform the entire process."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"Sage Intacct is very strong overall, but if I had to suggest improvements, I would say the learning curve could be smoother for new users."
"I wish Sage Intacct had a more robust interface with their help desk, as right now getting help with Sage is sometimes slow and clunky."
"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 mobile integration was still lacking on that front."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"The main area that everyone wants to improve in Sage Intacct is Cash Management, so I think Cash Management requires more improvement."
"There are no tutorials or wizards inside the tool, and I think they would be very useful sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
