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:
 

Pros

"Sage Intacct has impacted my organization positively as it improves on a regular basis whenever I find glitches."
"Overall, Sage Intacct has helped us move faster, improve accuracy, and make better-informed decisions with real-time data."
"Every client we have is very satisfied with the product."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by providing recognition and speed, and its cloud-based nature is an advantage."
"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."
"I would strongly recommend any entity that has a need for software that is easily implementable and that's already structured to use the services."
"The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"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."
"Unit4 Business World is a reliable product."
"The product's self-service capabilities have benefited our organization."
"Agresso includes a set of reporting and analytic tools that can be used to create a variety of reports unlike traditional ERP."
"The Unit4 ERP product is very flexible and can be configured to fit most business processes."
"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's most valuable feature is flexibility. Its dashboards are easy."
 

Cons

"Sage Intacct is very strong overall, but if I had to suggest improvements, I would say the learning curve could be smoother for new users."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"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."
"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."
"Sage Intacct can be improved because it is not always intuitive; there is a lot of money that goes into customization and reworking, and when they pilot new enhancements, they have an early adopter promo that can come with bugs."
"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."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"Limited industries covered - Agresso lacks some key modules"
"Well, the commercial section is the worst in this company (0/10), al menos in our case."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
"I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
