Sage Intacct Review

PROS: The tabs help separate timesheets from other company details and projects. Also, entering and submitting timesheets is painless. Editing an added timesheet and re-submitting them afterwards is a quick process.

CONS: I wish Intacct can show my PTO balance. There are other features I have not yet explored and I am planning to check them out.

PROS: The report wizard tool guides us step by step in creating reports that show the information we want to see, when we want to see it. It has really tranformed the way we do business, especialy with its dimensional flexibility.

CONS: So far, I haven't found anything negative about Intacct.

PROS: Intacct allows me to control multiple entities and locations from a single place. This saves me lot of time. I have used other tools and now I’m using this one and I don’t want to think about changing it. Also, there is great compatibility between Intacct and other platforms like ADP, Expensify and Salesforce.

CONS: I don’t like that I cannot change anything about invoices after the payment has been applied. I really want to be able to modify some fields.

PROS: Thanks to this product we have changed the way we do our business. I cannot really say how much I’m satisfied from report wizard tool. It allows us to create a report and to get detailed insight into the information. We don’t feel limited with its dimensional flexibility. We like the quarterly updates and investment that this tool makes.

CONS: We didn’t know that we have to pay for additional business users, it’s not expensive but we didn’t know about this thing before.

PROS: The versatility Intacct gives us enables our non-profit group to account for everything. We simply have everything covered. The system helps us improve since we have data and reports that enable us to make better decisions, spot trends, etc.

CONS: Although Intacct is powerful, it can be quite difficult to learn. I need I could really use some training to help me fully maximize the system's features and tools.

PROS: This tool is user friendly and easy to set up. I like that every area has its own set up configuration that is straightforward and understandable. I like the “help” feature that is on each field. With pre-built standard reports we can easily start with our work. Also, I like its support team, they are responsive and helpful.

CONS: The Top Level Dashboard doesn’t show the entity that has an approval. In my opinion, the entity should be more of a “dimension” instead like separate area. In addition, when it comes to report writing and customizing existing standard report then some of the wizard features are not available but when using the wizard then some standard features are not available. Also, they could make the dashboard more configurable.

PROS: I really like the Intacct’s dimensions, I used Quick Books before and I didn’t like that I had to use classes in order to look data from different perspectives. It made a mess within the organization, we mixed the departments, locations and business lines under one direction. With Intacct I can easily understand my business and we have identify the most active areas of the business that needs investment and to figure out those businesses that cost us money without realizing it.

CONS: It has steep learning curve for my employees but we have resolved this kind of issue so they learned it and adapted it at the end.

PROS: It allows us to use multiple currencies. We can use dimensions so we can reduce the size of our chart of accounts by tagging each transaction with important attributes and to create various reports by using locations, regions and cost centers. It has great dashboards for important operating metrics and report distribution that help in management process, we eliminated paper reports and they are very helpful for our management team to make decision in a timely manner. We are even able to upload templates and this option saves us huge amount of time when input journal entries and accounts payable bills.

CONS: There is nothing to dislike.

PROS: We recently started using Intacct and so far the implementation has been smooth and trouble free. The templates are easy to understand and use.

CONS: The Chart of Accounts feature was a tad difficult as we have to mold ours to Intacct's own design.

PROS: All I have to say that Intacct is one of the best cloud-based accounting solution. As a company that grows we could keep up with the spreadsheets anymore. This tool helps us to grow further with its helpful financing options thanks to the reports we get from it. The Dashboard is extremely useful, it provides an easy access to the financials.

CONS: Nothing to dislike.

PROS: The Dashboards are an excellent tool and can be customised per department or user to provide the most appropriate information and smartlinks. Reporting is versatile and customisable with a good amount of 'out the box' reports, and the dimensions allow in-depth reporting. The automation of bank reconciliation and download of transactions is time-saving.

CONS: The ability to view payment requests requires a business user licence which is expensive just for this additional feature. Our Chief executive only views things and approves things which in the main can be done as an employee user. There should be a half way house priced user between employee and full business user.

PROS: The interface is very friendly which I really like. The support is also something I love as they are very helpful and responsive. I find Intacct as an easy platform to get familiar with and once you get to that point, the potential to do almost anything is vast.

CONS: There are essential stuff that is lacking such as linking tables.

PROS: Setting up and starting Intacct was a breeze. On top of that, we are able to customize the system to meet the demands and needs of our business.

CONS: The reporting tool could use some improvement, specifically making it easier to use. I want to access raw data without any hitch and make custom reports.

PROS: The platform does an amazing job. We can easily create reports and have them optimized to suit our needs. The API allows us to modify the system and make it work with a number of third party solutions. The support is also top class - knowledgeable and very polite.

CONS: Some tools need further refinement but overall, we love the product.

PROS: Thanks to excel data upload feature we were able to convert it from cash to accrual and to provide valuable data. We are able to attach invoices, reconciliations and docs so we can verify wires, account balances and other evidence requirements. We convert everything into PDF so it can be easy upload them.

CONS: It is expensive tool for small businesses per-user license. Also, some fields won’t work if we don’t have another module like inventory, but once you learned you can find ways to work this out.

PROS: Intacct dimensions are extremely powerful but easy to configure, use and customize, along with custom fields the financial reporting is more robust than any other ERP system. The multi-entity consolidations are easy and multi-currency and multi-national companies can find the consolidations and reporting more improved and efficient. I like that in a year we receive 4 upgrades and each one is with new and powerful feature.

CONS: In my opinion, this tool is not for every kind of industry. They could update the Intacct custom writer.

PROS: Intacct offers multiple data centers. Its flexible configuration allows us to think over business rules into the ERP and to get accurate results. Also, the dashboards provide professional insight into KPIs and company’s performance. We can easily write the reports and optimize them according to our needs. It allows us to work with 3rd party solution provides that are able to communicate with ERP.

CONS: It would be great if they could improve the built-in budgeting functionality, the basic functionality is great but it really needs some improvements.

PROS: I love the fact that Intacct is based in the cloud aside from being user friendly. Also, I can attach supporting documents per transaction which is an awesome feature.

CONS: Creating custom reports can be a real pain especially if you are not familiar with the system.

PROS: Intacct is easy to set up and easy to use once the set up process is complete. The help tool is a useful feature. I also like how the Standard Reports feature makes reporting easy and effortless.

CONS: I wish the Top Level dashboard could display some things we need for work, such as the entity that requires approval. Writing reports can be taxing especially when the Wizard doesn't come with features I need.

PROS: With Intacct, I become more aware of the many aspects of our family business. With insights and better understanding, we determined productive areas of our enterprise we need to invest in and veer away from activities that were draining our money.

CONS: Intacct can be a pain to learn, especially if you have to teach it to a large, uneducated workforce. That said, once they got familair with the system, it was smooth sailing ever since.

PROS: I like how flexible Intacct is and how it provides our non-profit with the tools to make sure everything is being accounted for and we don't miss anything. Back then we had a lot data and activities happening in our hands but we were not able to substantiate it and generate reports with that data. With Intacct, together with some customization, we were able to enhance the whole process. Sign up for implementation and you won't regret it. This is a very flexible system and it allows you to correct things in case you make a wrong decision.

CONS: The reports are really powerful but there is too much customization going around, which makes me think I need some learning to learn and master the platform's fullest potential, such as dashboards, graphics, performance cards. The platform doesn't have the approval system in AP and Purchasing can be a long process (entering, converting, different numbers between Purchasing Request and Invoices...)
