Sushant S

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.

Corporate ESG Analyst at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has cross-functional connectivity but improvement is needed in script encoding

The tool's deployment is quick. Once the program is set up, you're ready to collect data and connect it to your report. The deployment team's size depends on the size of the company and how many different data providers you're utilizing. Some companies have one person doing everything, while others have a huge team. We're on the latter end of it, with many people involved. One great thing about the platform is that everything is consolidated in one place, providing a single resource for everyone. This is a benefit. The maintenance of the solution depends on the experience of the person managing the company's program. The company might have a contractor handling the back end and software management if they're low-level and only analyzing the data. However, if you have someone experienced with software and script encoding, that person might be the analyst and managing the program. Generally, most people are just analysts and not managing the software. There's an opportunity for improvement in user management of their software, and I hope they address this gap before the year ends.

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 include the import functionality, support for customization, and the platform that allows me to modify whatever I want."

"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by providing the opportunity to delete or edit any incorrect journal entry at the same time or in the prior or post-period after posting that particular entry."

"I would say Sage Intacct is a great tool, and others looking into using it should evaluate how big their company is and if it is worth the amount they have to pay because it is a very robust system."

"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."

"The best features Sage Intacct offers include the import functionality, support for customization, and the platform that allows me to modify whatever I want."

"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."

"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."

More Sage Intacct pros

"The collaboration within the platform is valuable."

"It makes the compliance process more efficient and more effective."

"Workiva Wdesk is pretty good in terms of getting the data from the system, automating the reporting schedules...It has a very good integration with ERP tools."

"It helps you to maintain a backup of your data, including the connectivity with the tables, which provides a user-friendly way to handle and access your files."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to easily upload and update financial results, creating a dynamic data sheet."

"Workiva Wdesk has a flow diagram that is standardized, making it easy for people to file documents on ECDAs, which are in HTML format."

"The cross-functionality between connectivity, whether through API connections between different software platforms or the connection of data collection to the actual written ESG report, is highly valuable. The connectivity of all these aspects significantly aids in data assurance, which I consider a bonus."

Cons

"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."

"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."

"Sage Intacct can be improved by integrating AI and offering more dynamic reports."

More Sage Intacct cons

"One area where Workiva Wdesk could improve is by ensuring that its cloud-based system is fully compatible with the most current versions of PowerPoint and Excel."

"With this product, it's more about the integrated data model where you can have a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship between your policies and processes, risks, and controls. They need to showcase how you can put those pieces together."

"The most critical issue is the need to shift between uppercase and lowercase."

"The tool's script encoding needs to be updated to make it more user-friendly and less of a manual process when changes are made to a company's program. Those changes happen frequently due to mandatory or voluntary reporting requirements, leading to lost linkage connections that must be manually reset each time a change is made. This aspect is not functional now, and I see it as an opportunity for improvement."

"The speed must be improved."

"At this point, I don't see a compelling reason to invest in Workiva. It may be necessary for compliance and controlling the version of SCC, but not everyone needs its high-end capabilities."

"Regarding the solution, reporting has certain areas that can be considered for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."

"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."

"Our clients in Asia think that the solution is too expensive."
