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.
Hasaan Zia - PeerSpot reviewer

User management has become more streamlined and audit processes are easier to handle
There have been some bugs which Zuora support has been unable to fix until now. For example, when we initiate sandbox refreshes, access of users who are only in the sandboxes gets wiped off, forcing me to recreate their accounts from scratch, although their entries exist in Zuora One ID, creating confusion and manual work. It has been a year and a half since this issue arose, and I believe it should have been fixed by now, as it is a significant problem when kicking off sandbox refreshes. Additionally, we faced issues with new payment method types rolled out in Q1 2025 that created confusion as they reflected under users' names, which should not happen.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I will highly recommend Sage Intacct to others, regardless of the UI, the response, the AI integration, and everything I appreciate about the financial features."
"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."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by providing recognition and speed, and its cloud-based nature is an advantage."
"The best features Sage Intacct offers include the import functionality, support for customization, and the platform that allows me to modify whatever I want."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by bringing clarity with reporting, providing opportunities for internal automation."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
"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 best features Sage Intacct offers include the import functionality, support for customization, and the platform that allows me to modify whatever I want."
"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.​"
"Zuora Workflow is valuable."
"I like the automated bill generation feature."
"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."
"Zuora supports multiple pricing models. There are one-time usages, flat fees, per unit, tiered, and consumption-based models."
"I like that the UI is great and easily explainable."
"It's an end-to-end solution for managing subscriptions."
"We have so many options for reporting, whether you want structured data or automation."
 

Cons

"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."
"The main area that everyone wants to improve in Sage Intacct is Cash Management, so I think Cash Management requires more improvement."
"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."
"Applying payments can be a bit difficult when we do comparisons, especially since we use AP adjustments and apply them to each other in a three-currency situation."
"I see room for improvement in Sage Intacct, specifically regarding reporting, as it should be more versatile with the data; more add-on data would provide many more options, especially since API calls can be quite difficult."
"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."
"I rate Sage Intacct seven or eight overall and less than five for Indian accounting because it is not compliant with Indian accounting, especially regarding taxation, withholding tax, and GST rules, which differ from what is represented in the software."
"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."
"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."
"​It would benefit from more features designed to recoup revenue in B2C scenarios."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are a few areas for improvement. Some APIs aren't working in amendment-based subscriptions."
"We feel the deployment and version comparison process could be easier when switching between different systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
"The solution is worth the price."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
