Key User Insights
	Sage Intacct	QuickBooks Desktop Premier
Considered Both Products	Sage Verified User Chose Sage Intacct One of the multi-entity solution's most significant weaknesses is its inability to handle revaluations of foreign currency accounts. It needs to be manually worked out and posted, which is standard functionality in entry-level systems like Xero/Quickbooks. It has added more … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct I believe the company chose Sage Intacct because it was the best option at the time and would provide all the features needed to run a regional charter school program across multiple school locations. It also was compatible with Bill.com. Incentivized Helpful? solongo jacobsen Finance Manager in Finance and Accounting at Fellowship Church (Religious Institutions, 11-50 employees) Chose Sage Intacct in comparison to Quickbooks Sage Intacct is definitely harder to lear and use, however more powerful Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct I used Quickbooks in my previous work, for the current one they choose because we have a large data and Sage Intacct can Handle it Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct less time data entry, filing system, ability for more reporting, cleaner reporting, easy interface, roles/user set up has more options Incentivized Helpful? Chris Denholm Financial Controller in Finance and Accounting at SNGRDC (Investment Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Way more horsepower than the smaller options, way more user friendly than the bigger options. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct I enjoy the speed that Sage operates at, diving into the books is a breeze and it is easy to track items across multiple transactions. I prefer the collections reporting in quickbooks because it makes it easier to track multiple accounts, drill down on balances, and customize … Incentivized Helpful? Judith McCormack Director of Finance in Finance and Accounting at Open Government Partnership (International Affairs, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Price! Sage was more affordable and was exactly what we needed. Incentivized Helpful? Kegan Masi Accountant in Professional Services at Keekwrinf Barberio (Accounting, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Much more customizable. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct We outgrew QB and Intacct's price and presentation swayed our decision over Netsuite. Incentivized Helpful? Christina Byers Staff Accountant in Finance and Accounting at Onsite Workshops (Mental Health Care, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct QuickBooks allowed me to edit more easily, Sage is better over all for user friendly and ease of access and reporting. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct Our selection choice came down to Netsuite and Intacct. Netsuite - quite frankly - was just too expensive to take the leap for similar functionality. We also determined that the Netsuite setup would require significantly more outside help to configure and migrate data. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct Quickbooks is basic, intacct is more robust - fitting for companies that have outgrown the simplicity of quickbooks and that are looking for better multi-entity/location management and financial reporting. Yardi Voyager is more expensive, has a higher learning curve and is … Incentivized Helpful? Donald Ostrower CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in Finance and Accounting at Congregation B'nai Jeshurun (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct I did not select the product; I inherited it. That said, I find Sage Intacct's interface much more intuitive than other products I've used. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct I have not used any other Sage Intacct products. Incentivized Helpful? Cristino Arocho Granst Accountant in Finance and Accounting at Third Way (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Sage Intacct provides more scalability and more flexibility in reporting and other functions. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct I very much preferred Quickbooks over Sage Intacct. It was more streamlined, intuitive, and user-friendly. You could make changes to entries that were made without deleting them completely and re-entering them, and reports were more readily understood. We were switched to Sage … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct While I am much more familiar with the different Quickbooks' softwares, the different menus and features of Sage Intacct are more "hidden" than what you generally see in Quickbooks. This means that you have to click through the different menus to find what you're looking for … Incentivized Helpful? Kelly Vargas Assistant Controller in Finance and Accounting at The Joint Chiropractic (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 201-500 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Out of all the above and against Sage, Sage is by far my favorite. It was easy to learn as it was quite intuitive like QB Online, but it also had depth with its capabilities of allowing to be more than just a GL system and more an enterprise system if needed, or at the least … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct They are either not sophisticated enough or an overkill. Incentivized Helpful? Saundra Bedford Accounting Manager in Finance and Accounting at The Arc in Hawaii (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct The robust and comprehensive features in Sage Intacct blow the competition out of the water. The features and ease of use inside Sage Intacct bring value and accuracy to the table of the organization. One huge difference is the reporting capabilities within the program. Need … Incentivized Helpful? Erin Breber Senior Manager in Finance and Accounting at SVA (Accounting, 51-200 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Sage Intacct is extremely powerful, very customizable, and the amount of dimension tracking is what drove us to utilize this product over the others. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sage Intacct BPC is more robust and supportive of a larger organization, while QuickBooks is very easy to use and adaptable but does not contain the features or controls necessary for a public company. Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Kimrey Finance Administrator in Finance and Accounting at ISTH (Non-Profit Organization Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Sage Intacct With regards to functionality, about the same. However, with regard to reporting and multi-currency capability, Sage surpasses QuickBooks. Incentivized Helpful? Krishna Lakhani Accounting/Payroll Administrator in Finance and Accounting at Summit Powder Mountain (Recreational Facilities and Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Sage Intacct Quickbooks is easy to use, but not customizable. Inter-entity transactions were time-consuming. Intacct is flexible and customizable, but learning how to customize is a challenge. Incentivized Helpful?	Intuit Verified User Chose QuickBooks Desktop Premier We actually switched with the hiring of a new Chief financial officer to Sage Intacct. We are significantly behind with prior year audits and regulatory reporting and still used QuickBooks Premier for those reasons. In hindsight we should have done more research with … Incentivized Helpful? Andrew Newman CPA Owner at Newman Associates (Accounting, 1-10 employees) Chose QuickBooks Desktop Premier I could not get the line above to work. The programs i reviewed and evaluated were Peachtree, QB online, Xero and Intacct. The reason I continue to use QB is that i know the program and understand its strengths and weaknesses. Peachtree was much more cumbersome to implement and … Incentivized Helpful?
