MichaelFox - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Reliable subscription billing solution with efficient pricing and product configuration
The main area where issues can arise is third-party integrations, particularly payment gateways. Some clients use third-party payment gateways, and problems can occur during these integrations. In my experience with my last two projects, I didn't encounter such issues. However, in my earlier support role, I noticed that some customers faced challenges when using external payment gateways. Specifically, payments were being received but not connecting to the customer accounts.

Pros

"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 most significant advantage of this solution is its pure cloud-based nature."
"The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"The product is easy to use."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
"Its custom reports feature is also noteworthy, as it provides flexibility for users to create their reports, tailored to their specific areas of expertise."
"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."
"We have so many options for reporting, whether you want structured data or automation."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process."
"These features are valuable because it has allowed the billing functionality to be fully operationalized. This allows us to refocus our energy on optimizing our recurring revenue streams outside of just basic billing.​"
"The best feature is product configuration. The automation is also fantastic. I can say that it is very efficient in pricing. It works effectively in pricing efficiency. The solution is stable. I’ve not encountered any bugs. The product is scalable. It's a good solution that helps ensure you don't lose revenue. I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Zuora is an end-to-end solution that handles orders, payments, and licensing. Its robust billing engine manages all billing aspects, including debit memos. Zuora's rate plan charges offer the flexibility needed in the subscription business, allowing for easy product configuration."
"It's an end-to-end solution for managing subscriptions."
"​It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes.​"
"I like the automated bill generation feature."
 

Cons

"The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."
"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."
"While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts."
"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 would build dynamic retry functionalities directly into the core product and enhance their integrations with all payment gateways."
"When we raise global support tickets, we receive delayed responses."
"We feel the deployment and version comparison process could be easier when switching between different systems."
"Unlike Zoho, the main page doesn't contain everything. You have to click a button to reveal multiple options; even within those, there are further layers of options to navigate through."
"Very rarely, maybe once every two months, the platform might be slow for a day or two. We usually receive notifications about these issues, which seem to stem from connectivity errors or similar issues."
"We don't know everything like the development team does. We are focused on operational tasks. I want to extend my knowledge of creating workflows and understand what the development team is doing. With replenishment orders sent after a certain frequency (like every three months), there's a problem if a subscription is canceled with a future date—it cancels on the same date instead."
"The main area where issues can arise is third-party integrations, particularly payment gateways."
"Some areas that could be improved include the API rate limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
"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."
"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
"The solution is worth the price."
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
