    It doesn't even compare. Sage is far better than Financial Edge. No contest.

    Chose Financial Edge (legacy)
    I like Financial Edge for non-profit accounting the best as it provides a great foundation for fund accounting. It integrates the best with a donor database and the reporting options are truly amazing.

    Sage
    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.

    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 …

    Chose Sage Intacct
    Sage is up to date on everything. Financial Edge still lags on technology. Compared to Quickbooks well Sage is by far better for accounting purposes.

    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
    Chose Sage Intacct
    Financial Edge lacks the storage, approval process, and is not very user friendly. Especially on the reports section.
    Incentivized
    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
    Chose Sage Intacct
    Sage Intacct was the best stand alone solution to meet our needs. Financial Edge did not integrate well with Salesforce. Accounting Seed is not a mature application. And NetSuite is trying to do way more than we need.

    Chose Sage Intacct
    Microsoft Dynamics - Solomon is much easier to use. Financial Edge is not very user-friendly but it's easier to use than Intacct. Intacct does have more features than Solomon and Financial Edge.

    Chose Sage Intacct
    I selected Sage Intacct when it was just Intacct (before merger with Sage). I compared it against Financial Edge from Blackbaud. Financial Edge appeared to be more complicated based on user interface and it was also more costly.
    Incentivized
    Chose Sage Intacct
    Our organization transitioned from Blackbaud Financial Edge to Sage Intacct. We selected Sage Intacct due to the flexibility offered through dimensions, increased efficiency, cloud-based accessibility, real-time data, dashboards, quarterly releases, and many other reasons. …

    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.

    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
    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 …

    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.

    Night and day.
    Incentivized
    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
    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 …

    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.

    Chose Sage Intacct
    For my needs and the way we use volunteers to help with our accounting functions, Intacct is in a class above.

    Chose Sage Intacct
    The only package we thought was close to the quality/robustness was NetSuite. Their pricing was out of step. They offered a very low year one cost, but NO guarantees regarding the future.

    Chose Sage Intacct
    We looked at Financial Force early on, but price and compatibility to fund accounting did not meet our needs. When introduced to Intacct it hit on all of the key points that we were looking for in our upgrade of our accounting system and would highly recommend it to others. …
