Featured Reviews

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.
Jayarami Reddy Pujeri - PeerSpot reviewer
ERP Head at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Has automated many financial processes and improved transaction handling efficiency
I am satisfied with analytics and reporting to a certain level, but not completely. There are so many SAP providers and customer solutions to include manual warning reports. SAP S/4HANA also will not provide the detailed reports as users expect, but the system provides the ability to implement new reports. It does not reach that level completely. Around fifty to sixty percent of the system will solve business needs, but not entirely. In the reports area, especially in the customer reports area, there is a lot of room for improvement. It would be better to improve and also meet local requirements and localization. That needs to be addressed.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most significant advantage of this solution is its pure cloud-based nature."
"The user-friendliness of Sage Intacct has helped my team and clients by saving customer time and our developers' and consultants' time; for instance, if a project takes 100 hours on Sage X3, it only takes about 60 or 50 hours on Intacct, allowing us to manage it from anywhere since it is cloud-based."
"Sage Intacct has impacted my organization positively as it improves on a regular basis whenever I find glitches."
"The reporting capabilities and automation and integration abilities in Sage Intacct make it easy to work with other third parties and collaborate effectively."
"I have seen a good return on investment using Sage Intacct, as it has greatly contributed to finance transformation in our operations and helped scale our finance operations and transform our processes."
"I will highly recommend Sage Intacct to others, regardless of the UI, the response, the AI integration, and everything I appreciate about the financial features."
"Its custom reports feature is also noteworthy, as it provides flexibility for users to create their reports, tailored to their specific areas of expertise."
"The product is easy to use."
"The biggest benefit of SAP S/4HANA Finance is the stability of the solution, which brings the knowledge from SAP ECC systems."
"We cannot run our business without this software."
"The implementation of SAP S_4HANA Finance has helped our operations by reducing manpower considerably."
"SAP S/4HANA Finance definitely helps the business get real-time data instead of having a scheduled job chart with time lag in data."
 

Cons

"The mobile integration was still lacking on that front."
"Sage Intacct can be improved because it is not always intuitive; there is a lot of money that goes into customization and reworking, and when they pilot new enhancements, they have an early adopter promo that can come with bugs."
"Customer support can be improved, as they sometimes respond with a delay. For instance, if I expect a response in two days, I receive it in four to five days."
"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."
"Sage Intacct can be improved by integrating AI and offering more dynamic reports."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"The change order process in Sage Intacct could be smoother and easier, and I believe the ability to perform lien waivers and invoices in bulk, as well as improvements in inventory management, could enhance the system."
"I would rate the customer support from Sage Intacct a 3 or 3.5, while I would rate our reseller's support around 7 or 8."
"However, I do not have enough knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Finance to suggest improvements in such a substantial software system."
"I definitely see room for improvement in SAP S_4HANA Finance for the future, as our client is looking for enhancements."
"My experience with technical support from SAP is not that great."
"Implementation can be complex in SAP S/4HANA Finance, depending on the company and its requirements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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