Considered Both Products	Blackbaud Verified User Chose Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT For non-profit specific accounting use cases, Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT provides a robust, yet very user friendly interface that supports all operational accounting, reporting, and regulatory needs. When coupled with other Blackbaud products (Tuition Management, Raiser's … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT Sage wasn’t updated at the time. It is now and would be my lead choice. Quick books isn’t as sophisticated with restricted fund accounting. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT FE NXT was in place when I joined the organization and I was unhappy with it from the beginning as soon as it took longer than a moment for a report to generate and the reports were so unintuitive and we could not customize them to meet our needs. My team runs into issues … Incentivized Helpful? Susan Cornforth US Operations in Finance and Accounting at Self-Help International (Civic & Social Organization, 1-10 employees) Chose Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT FENXT was our first choice when we switched from QB Desktop. QB no longer met our needs because its ability to accommodate fund accounting is very limited, as is its budgeting module. We use QBO for a subsidiary, but it has the same top-level limitations. We evaluated Sage, … Incentivized Helpful?	Sage Tasha Criss Controller in Finance and Accounting at Alley Theatre (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Sage Intacct was both the most powerful and most flexible system we evaluated. The customization capabilities inherent to the system without paying significantly more for special coding made it an easy choice. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct There are certain features that are preferable in Sage when compared to Financial Edge, but there are also features we miss when comparing Sage to our previous system such as the database view. The customer support seems to be better so far. Incentivized Helpful? Ruth Williams Accounting Manager in Finance and Accounting at United Way of Greater Toronto (Non-profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Sage Intacct We had worked with Sage 300 version 2016. It had not been upgraded. We found Sage Intacct to be easier and it was easier transitioning from Sage 300 to Intacct. Incentivized Helpful? Emily Schick Senior Accountant in Finance and Accounting at CLA (Accounting, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Sage Intacct They are very similar but Sage seems more up to date and has all of the modules in it while FE was missing some. Incentivized Helpful? Irvin Lozano Acounts Payable accountant in Finance and Accounting at American council of learned socities (Non-profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Sage intact is better than most of the products I have used. I feel that it's always upgrading itself to be a better product, and it always allowing programs to have a streamlined integration. I feel Financial Edge's bank reconciliation would always disconnect and the system … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Amanfoh, CPA VP Finance in Finance and Accounting at JumpStart Inc (Venture Capital & Private Equity, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct All the solutions provided a cloud-based platform; they were all very different and unique. Sage Intacct appealed to the selection team because of the use of dimensions. For our economic development work, we track a lot of grants and have to be very detailed in monitoring how … Incentivized Helpful? Sami Novaster Sr. Director, Finance in Finance and Accounting at Chicago Public Media (Media Production, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct We liked the look and feel of Sage Intacct and it's customization potential. We also liked the number of fields and dimensions included in the system. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct Night and day. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct Intacct won because it had the capability to use multiple books without much thought. Our organization needs both a cash and accrual set of books and Intacct supported that out of the box. No other system did. Incentivized Helpful? Eli Stern CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in Finance and Accounting at The Marshall Project (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Prior to selecting Intacct, we reviewed multiple systems. Ultimately we chose Intacct due to its power, flexibility, and ability to integrate with other systems. We found QBO too limiting in its power and features, Netsuite too expensive and too much of a "walled garden" and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct Although Financial Edge NXT has made many improvements over the years, the Financial Edge database itself is very clunky and difficult to use. It feels very dated and is not user friendly in display or ease of use. Incentivized Helpful? Nancy Miller Senior Accountant in Finance and Accounting at Archdiocese of Indianapolis (Non-profit Organization Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Sage Intacct is a more robust, end-to-end accounting solution. It has more automated processing capability, processes for electronic approvals for journal entries and purchasing, and electronic audit trails for all transactions. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Bramble Assistant Controller in Finance and Accounting at Archdiocese of Indianapolis (Non-profit Organization Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Financial Edge was not built to be a cloud-based platform, and it was VERY evident. Only a very small portion of the functions have switched to the new UI, and most of them are still older systems with a new face. It was very clear that Sage Intacct was built from the ground … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct More tech forward. Incentivized Helpful?
