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
Associate Systems Administrator at Gomotive
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

"The user-friendliness of Sage Intacct has helped my team and clients by saving customer time and our developers' and consultants' time; for instance, if a project takes 100 hours on Sage X3, it only takes about 60 or 50 hours on Intacct, allowing us to manage it from anywhere since it is cloud-based."
"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."
"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, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by bringing clarity with reporting, providing opportunities for internal automation."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization by providing the opportunity to delete or edit any incorrect journal entry at the same time or in the prior or post-period after posting that particular entry."
"The main advantage of Sage Intacct is the import modules, which we found very easy because we were handling large sets of data to import."
"Sage Intacct has positively impacted my organization because it is great software, very robust, and very easy to use."
"​It is some of the most responsive support that I have encountered.​"
"The best feature is product configuration. The automation is also fantastic. I can say that it is very efficient in pricing. It works effectively in pricing efficiency. The solution is stable. I’ve not encountered any bugs. The product is scalable. It's a good solution that helps ensure you don't lose revenue. I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"We have so many options for reporting, whether you want structured data or automation."
"​It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes.​"
"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.​"
"I like that the UI is great and easily explainable."
"It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes."
"Zuora Workflow is valuable."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"The consolidation module lacks several features in setup, including the inability to create different sub-level entities, and it is very rigid and not customizable for adding different entities under one book, so we are trying to create multiple books."
"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."
"I wish Sage Intacct had a more robust interface with their help desk, as right now getting help with Sage is sometimes slow and clunky."
"Sage Intacct can be improved by integrating AI and offering more dynamic reports."
"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."
"We feel the deployment and version comparison process could be easier when switching between different systems."
"Some areas that could be improved include the API rate limit."
"While fetching the data, I had faced some issues."
"There are a few areas for improvement. Some APIs aren't working in amendment-based subscriptions."
"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."
"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."
"When we raise global support tickets, we receive delayed responses."
"The data structure within Zuora is a bit rigid. It doesn't support many things, like subqueries or correlation queries and all that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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