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.

Automation has streamlined complex billing and revenue while close times drop significantly
The best features Zuora offers include the automation, which is probably the best they have with the extensiveness of automation and the post-sale tasks that they are able to automate for people so that the close times take a lot less time. The automation helps my clients by ensuring that the billing, payment collection, and revenue recognition are all automated, so they are not having to take extensive time to reconcile billing and ensure payments are collected and make sure the revenue recognition rules are followed. That is all built into the system for them so that they can do that quickly and efficiently. The integration with Salesforce definitely helps streamline my clients' operations there as well as their ERP so that they are not worried about data migration missing the completeness and accuracy. It all integrates seamlessly. Zuora has definitely reduced the close time that it takes my clients to close the periods and it has also helped with their pricing models that they are able to make much more sophisticated and easy to follow within the system. It has reduced the close time by four days, down from a ten day close to a six day close.

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."
"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."
"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 accuracy of accounting has improved by nearly 95%, and we save about three days of manual effort to prepare financial statements."
"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."
"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 our organization by being flexible and easy to use; everyone working on Sage Intacct has an accounting background, and they are able to use it with minimal training because of its user-friendly interface."
"​It is some of the most responsive support that I have encountered.​"
"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."
"I like that the UI is great and easily explainable."
"Currently, I feel Zuora is in a very good position, and I do not think there is a better alternative."
"It's an end-to-end solution for managing subscriptions."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process."
"Zuora supports multiple pricing models. There are one-time usages, flat fees, per unit, tiered, and consumption-based models."
"Zuora has positively impacted my organization as it is primarily used for financial records, including billings and other business needs for the business team."
 

Cons

"While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts."
"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."
"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."
"Sage Intacct can be improved by integrating AI and offering more dynamic reports."
"The main area that everyone wants to improve in Sage Intacct is Cash Management, so I think Cash Management requires more improvement."
"I believe data migration could be improved in Sage Intacct to save time and to minimize working with Excel when dealing with data migration."
"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."
"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 solution must add more programming languages to build logic."
"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."
"The documentation that has been provided exists, but it is not particularly useful."
"It would be beneficial to have an improved dashboard."
"When we raise global support tickets, we receive delayed responses."
"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."
"My experience with Zuora's pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is expensive."
"Some areas that could be improved include the API rate limit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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