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

"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 product is easy to use."
"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 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 solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"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."
"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 impacted my organization positively as it improves on a regular basis whenever I find glitches."
"Zuora supports multiple pricing models. There are one-time usages, flat fees, per unit, tiered, and consumption-based models."
"What I like best about the tool is it's user-friendly, especially when checking accounts and subscriptions. You can see all the details, like consumer-created subscriptions, invoice details, and the ability to create and remove rate plans."
"Zuora Workflow is valuable."
"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."
"I like the automated bill generation feature."
"​It is some of the most responsive support that I have encountered.​"
"​It has made billing a reliable business function and provided the structure needed to optimize all of our billing processes.​"
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"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 occasionally experiences lag while we are working online."
"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."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"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."
"​It would benefit from more features designed to recoup revenue in B2C scenarios."
"The main area where issues can arise is third-party integrations, particularly payment gateways."
"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."
"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."
"There are a few areas for improvement. Some APIs aren't working in amendment-based subscriptions."
"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 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

"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."
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"The tiered pricing model is costly."
"Negotiate aggressively. Continue to push on cost until you feel comfortable.​"
"The solution is worth the price."
"Explore multiple options for implementation."
