Considered Both Products
Sage Intacct
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.
Chose Sage Intacct
We liked their integrations better with the other programs we use.
Chose Sage Intacct
We still use BILL and Expensify to sync into Sage Intacct. The other accounting systems were not as strong on the multi-entity consolidation setup so Sage Intacct had made it easier for us overall, in terms of processes, closing schedule, and management.
Chose Sage Intacct
I think Sage Intacct is perfect for a medium sized business. It is more robust than QuickBooks Online, which is great for small businesses. It is less complicated and more user friendly than both PeopleSoft and NetSuite, which are better suited to large organizations.
Chose Sage Intacct
We migrated from Quickbooks as we became more and more aware that that software was not keeping up with our business needs and that more sophisticated software would allow us to automate and save time in the long run. While we were evaluating Sage Intacct, we also evaluated …
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage Intacct is more user-friendly and has more features than we previously had.
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage is intact online and quite dynamic as compared to ERP version. Also Sage Intact you could do alot as it is user friendly and flexible. You can make lots of custom reports and you can get the information based on the entity level. Also posting journal has also become easy …
Chose Sage Intacct
I have used all these software. as discussed earlier Sage Intacct helps us in Inventory management. which is not good in our previous accounting software so we moved to Sage Intacct from that one. Some of the above mentioned software is not good for large scale businesses. I …
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage Intacct stacks up against quickbooks desktop in functionality. I was more used to quickbooks and their functions were good for accounts payable, but bad for me for accounts receivable when compared to Sage Intacct.
Chose Sage Intacct
We used to operate with SAGE 300 and the updated system of Sage Intacct compared to 300 is extraordinarily better in all aspects. The user friendly dashboard and simplified version is far more advanced than the old 300 system. The ability to see reports and collecting more …
Chose Sage Intacct
We had previously used Xero and it just wasn't fit for purpose anymore. We looked at Netsuite vs Sage Intacct and Sage Intacct definitely felt like more of the correct fit.

Sage Intacct is scalable which is what we wanted given our planned exponential growth over the coming …
Chose Sage Intacct
While I have liked all of the Sage products that I have used, Sage Intacct is simply just better for companies with complex accounting needs. The customized reporting blows the other products out of the water.
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage Intacct was easy to use, accounting is simple, exporting reports are very good, consolidated reports and standalone reports are also very good. Vendor management, revenue recognition is too helpful.
Chose Sage Intacct
I have largely worked in multi-national manufacturing firms so SAP was very beneficial from a manufacturing aspect and there was more information and reporting available than is standard from Sage Intacct.
For the type and size of business that I work in now, it is probably …
Chose Sage Intacct
Intacct appeared easier to use & set up.
Chose Sage Intacct
Compared to Sage Intacct, Deltek Vision was an archaic system that required multiple steps on each module to get the desired result.Another reason for choosing Sage over other systems was software integration. The integrations with third-party softwares is awesome, it has made …
Chose Sage Intacct
Ramp and QuickBooks Commerce
Chose Sage Intacct
Sage is head and shoulders above any Quickbooks iteration and comparable to NetSuite. The differences are likely personal preference between Sage Intacct and NetSuite, my leaning is toward NetSuite but largely due to how comfortable I was with their system. Our business used …
Kashoo
Chose Kashoo
Wave Accounting has the UI and UX down perfectly. Their reporting is nice as well, but I felt like things were a little more customizable in Kashoo, so they have the upper hand there.
Chose Kashoo
Way back when, I used Microsoft Money to manage my business and personal work. They changed things often, bank downloads stopped working, and it really wasn't well suited for business anyway. So when my laptop died, I gave up on it.
Quickbooks was next, but I was overwhelmed …
Chose Kashoo
No yearly license fees with Kashoo lifetime plan and it includes a mobile app and mobile integration with the desktop version. I can do everything I need to do in Kashoo so there is no need for bloated old Quickbooks.
Chose Kashoo
  • Better Price, QuickBooks can get pricey
  • Equivalent Functionality
  • Better documentation (QuickBooks has lots of outdated and confusing documentation online)
Chose Kashoo
Kashoo works well and has all the features I need. Wave does not allow for reconciliation and does not do reporting. Quickbooks Online is very expensive and does not have all the features that Kashoo has.

Likelihood to Recommend
It is well-suited for nonprofit accounting with its ability to track expenses and revenues by both department and funding source. It is easy to set up vendors and customers for invoices and bill payments. It is less appropriate for proper budget management and purchasing with multiple approvers, particularly when edits are required.

It is great for a small company or sole proprietorship. It is simple and easy and allows you to do your bookkeeping without taking too much of your time. It would not be ideal for a company that needs to track inventory.

Pros
  • Custom, real-time financial reporting. I am able to streamline my reporting to pull in various account groups and calculations which save me time from having to do it in Excel.
  • Out of the box standard reports for clients who don't require as custom of reporting or even as a great starting point to build out reports.
  • Integrations with other platforms, such as Airbase, various banks, Rippling, etc.
  • The dashboard module is extremely helpful in my monthly review of various entities.

  • Mobile app for scanning expenses.
  • Straight to the point actions.
  • Clean user interface (better than the QuickBooks icons!).
  • Importing bank transactions with no upcharge.
  • Receive credit card payments with no credit check.

Cons
  • Downloading bill register reports for all the entities at the top level would be helpful.
  • An increase in the Time frame of the Auto-Log out feature for security will be helpful.
  • I think there is some room in the automation part that can be improved.

  • The UI is not nice at all - even with a UI refresh, it still didn't look that great
  • The UX is rough as well - it's not as easy to use until you get used to it - high learning curve

Usability
The ease of use as a seasoned user is wonderful; however, new users struggle to adapt to the program efficiently. Better training videos--all in one location--would be beneficial. The use of a "sandbox" environment is a great tool for new employees or for the fiscal department to test certain journal entries or other transactions to verify accuracy of data.

Kashoo is by far the most intuitive and easy to use accounting/bookkeeping solution I've tried, and after using it for several years I'm pleased that it delivers a consistent experience. No surprises, it just works. I don't want to spend any more time than I have to attend to bookkeeping, and Kashoo allows me to do just that.

Reliability and Availability
There has only been one occurrence where Sage Intacct was not available to me, however I had already been working a number of hours trying to get a project completed. It honestly allowed me to step back and take a much needed break.

Performance
As fas as integration is concerned I don't feel this slows Sage Intacct down at all. However, sometimes I do feel it takes some larger reports more time to load due to all the detail. As well as, I "move very fast" in my motions so sometimes I double click on fuctions too quickly and the system seems to think that I have a duplicate request.

Only a few times have we had to reach out to support, and every time we did, we received a relatively quick response and a solution was found fairly quickly. Only once was there an issue that took longer than a week to resolve, but it still did eventually get solved.

In-Person Training
I have taken in person training classes at several of the annual Sage Intacct user conferences. It is very interactive and the trainers are very easy to follow and understand. They are great at getting everyone in the class involved. They also make sure everyone has learned to task before moving to a new one.

Online Training
The free training is very minimal. For what we pay for the service, I would like more training. We end up training new users in-house because the provided free training is not nearly comprehensive enough. That being said, the training provided, for the material covered, was adequate and relevant for the given topics.

I would not use a thrid party administrator to implement your system, especially if you are going to be modifying the system at all. Use Intacct implementors as they will be able to better support you on any issues that come up after you go live.

Alternatives Considered
As a CPA in public accounting, I was exposed to many systems. I was in on the ground floor with the implementation of NetSuite for a client; it was clunky, the reporting was ugly, and it wasn’t user friendly. Sage Intacct is a great option for mid-size organizations who have outgrown Quickbooks.
