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.

Integrated finance and HR have supported growth while support and on-premise limits need work
Unit4 ERP7 will not be improved as it is no longer supported by Unit4. The cloud ERP CR and ERP X do have clear roadmaps available to customers. Many of the gaps have been filled by the ERP suite of products. New improvements will include AI agents to automate finance and HR processes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"Sage Intacct has impacted our organization very positively; we now have a good relationship with Sage Intacct and are working on new projects for Sage Intacct."
"I have seen an astronomical return on investment with Sage Intacct, particularly regarding time saved."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by providing recognition and speed, and its cloud-based nature is an advantage."

"Agresso includes a set of reporting and analytic tools that can be used to create a variety of reports unlike traditional ERP."
"Unit4 Business World's most valuable feature is flexibility. Its dashboards are easy."
"We try not to do customization, but we do configuration, and the configuration is extremely flexible with many options for integrations as well."
"The financial features are the most valuable because we did not have good financial software and our organization had been growing."
"Unit4 Business World is a reliable product."
"The Unit4 ERP product is very flexible and can be configured to fit most business processes."

Cons

"The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management."
"The page expires really fast if I have idle time or am working on something else while finding an amount or looking at an invoice."
"Customer support can be improved, as they sometimes respond with a delay. For instance, if I expect a response in two days, I receive it in four to five days."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"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."
"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see more flexibility in the customization for us to be able to customize it based on the client's requirements."
"For people on-premise, customer service is not great. During these 12 years, the quality of support has been a significant issue."
"Reporting and analytics features must be improved."
"Well, the commercial section is the worst in this company (0/10), al menos in our case."
"Limited industries covered - Agresso lacks some key modules"
"I would like to see direct communication support to engage with clients. The parent company should have a direct relationship with clients. Also, the tool's licensing, upgrade, and maintenance costs should be reduced."
"For people on-premise, customer service is not great. During these 12 years, the quality of support has been a significant issue."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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