What is Sage Intacct? 

Sage Intacct is a best-in-class cloud accounting solution. What does this mean? As cloud software, Sage Intacct is always accessible, anytime, anywhere, as long as you have internet access. In addition, its best-in-class design means Sage Intacct is specifically built for accounting and integrates with the other software you use to run your business. 

Sage Intacct is well-equipped to handle all of your basic accounting needs, like your general ledger and accounts payable and receivable, as well as more advanced functions like multi-entity and global consolidations, project accounting, and contract revenue management. 

What are the Pros and Cons?

Sage Intacct scores well on industry reports, with high marks in customer satisfaction and engagement. It’s comparable in price and functionality to competitive products, with deep accounting capabilities and an extensive partner network of third-party solutions to manage additional needs.  

In reviews, customers cite the following as the top benefits of Sage Intacct: 

• Ease of use for financial and non-financial teams 
• A unique shared chart of accounts that reduces the total number of accounts to a more manageable amount
• The cloud platform, which gives users 24/7 access to their financials
• The hands-off upgrades released each quarter and handled by Sage Intacct 
• Reporting and dashboards 
• Robust flexibility and integration options made possible by Sage Intacct’s open, public API 
• Ongoing support, education, and training through Sage Intacct, its community, and your implementation partner 

On the flip side, Sage Intacct’s operational functionality is not a perfect fit for every business. Some users seek out other third-party solutions to manage their manufacturing, inventory, payroll, and time and expense management needs. User reviews often critique these six areas: 

• A lack of operational functionality that suite software might be able to offer 
• The overall higher price of mid-market software compared to small business software 
• Unfamiliar and unique processes resulting from Sage Intacct’s GAAP compliance regulations 
• Unintuitive aspects resulting from flexible and unconventional reporting means
• The complicated process of making changes to implementation configurations, which impacts the software’s flexibility 
• A disparity between the quality of support from different resellers and implementation partners
