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 reporting capabilities stood out for me because we could generate required reports from Sage Intacct, including all financial statements needed for consolidation and various reconciliations with the parent company and the subsidiary."
"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."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
"The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"The accuracy of accounting has improved by nearly 95%, and we save about three days of manual effort to prepare financial statements."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted our organization by being flexible and easy to use; everyone working on Sage Intacct has an accounting background, and they are able to use it with minimal training because of its user-friendly interface."
"Sage Intacct is a great app that makes our work much easier."
"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."
"We cannot run our business without this software."
"The implementation of SAP S_4HANA Finance has helped our operations by reducing manpower considerably."
"The biggest benefit of SAP S/4HANA Finance is the stability of the solution, which brings the knowledge from SAP ECC systems."
"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

"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."
"The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"Sage Intacct can be improved by integrating AI and offering more dynamic reports."
"If I need to pay a bill, I do not have the option of updating multiple or thousands of bills at once; I have to manually mark each bill as paid, which is quite a headache."
"I see room for improvement in Sage Intacct, specifically regarding reporting, as it should be more versatile with the data; more add-on data would provide many more options, especially since API calls can be quite difficult."
"Applying payments can be a bit difficult when we do comparisons, especially since we use AP adjustments and apply them to each other in a three-currency situation."
"The main area that everyone wants to improve in Sage Intacct is Cash Management, so I think Cash Management requires more improvement."
"Implementation can be complex in SAP S/4HANA Finance, depending on the company and its requirements."
"My experience with technical support from SAP is not that great."
"I definitely see room for improvement in SAP S_4HANA Finance for the future, as our client is looking for enhancements."
"However, I do not have enough knowledge of SAP S/4HANA Finance to suggest improvements in such a substantial software system."

"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
