Sage Intacct vs SAP S/4HANA Cloud Comparison

What I like the most about this program is that it's pretty self-explanatory to use. I am able to invoice with ease.

The interface of this software looks like it's from the 90's. Not very tech looking or easy on the eyes for that matter.

Flexibility, cloud-based, easy to use

Occasionally slow to load a few field options, some quirks with scrolling in report request windows

Collaboration Cloud Based Robust Controls Continuous Improvements

No cons were added to this review

cloud based, easy, simple UI, automated alerts.

sometimes needs more advanced reporting or analysis capabilities more easily accessible to users.

Cloud computing - accessible anywhere. Reports easily exportable to excel

Cannot email out invoices - major deal breaker (well you can email them but you can't change the generic text, which makes it unusable). There are many screens that force you to use your mouse to enter items, you can't tab.

Help feature, cloud-base, the system is intuitive, and the dashboards

not flexible and complicated to learn to use

It is a great cloud based accounting software with great integration features.

It could use a revamp in style. Other than that no negatives.

Thanks so much for your review, Jack! Great to hear that you're enjoying the integrations. Feel free to reach out to Sameera at reviews@intacct.com if we can help you out with anything :)

Cloud Based (no maintenance)....Recurring transaction and customized reporting capabilities are a plus.

Wish some of the interfaces where more customizable, but overall not a lot of cons.

This cloud product allowed us to retire an old legacy on-prem system.

Customizability isn't quite there but there is a 3rd party marketplace

Help feature, cloud-based (so no install on individual computers), the system is intuitive, dashboards!

The flow of certain information and how the reports are generated in different modules is not what I expected (based on how our legacy system worked). Customization of reports is not as easy as originally anticipated.

For a basic cloud-based accounting package, it worked well. Reports were easy to find.

It could be some settings on our end, but we had multiple entities consolidating into one, and sometimes financial statement reports (balance sheet, P&L) didn't quite run as expected.

Ease of use, That's Scalability and reduced IT cost. Less manual labor.

Sage intacct is an excellent resource for the most important part of the business and your company data which is leading provider of best in class cloud computing.

The cloud-system with push updates are fantastic. Intacct is constantly working on new features to automate and enhance the experience.

There are some limitations built within the purchasing module that are a little difficult to work around like note and tax and shipping on an invoice matched to PO is coded to the balance sheet and not the P&L.

Cloud platform makes it very accessible. Works just fine from just about anywhere in the world. Provides audit trail. Allows excel export.

Too rigid and very little flexibility to make adjustments in every field. Prepaid module and FA module are very clunky. Customer support is nice and understanding but cant always solve your issues on time and are usually eager to close a case and move on. Not really a user-friendly platform.

This cloud-based software is a big upgrade from my previous software which was Microsoft Dynamics GP. GP was extremely dated and was limited in functionality.

One pain is not being able to get back to the top level once you go to a subsidiary and close the top level, you have to log back in.

I love this cloud-based system where approving and reporting features are accessed from any mobile device. We are just implementing this system - replacing quickbooks - and it is streamlining our business.

This is a true accounting system that truly automates financial procedures. However, it might confuse the non-accounting folks in your office. Some processes can be more cumbersome than an automated QB system (for example: credit card and ACH processing).

It's easy to use and train users. It's also a much easier implementation than some of the other financial software giants. I like the fact that it's cloud based as well.

I wish it was a bit more feature rich in some areas, but it seems that is a problem with all ERP's. They seem to let their partners handle specific problems.

We switched from Quickbooks and this software just blew it away. Intacct is cloud based and is much more efficient and effective for business use and produces good reports and integrations to 3rd party software.

There are odd restrictions with the software. It won't let you use bank accounts as GL accounts which may be for a good reason but works in our business.

Sage Intacct is complete cloud-based accounting system, mobile app is also available. It is best for financial reporting and financial analysis. It also enables multi currency consolidation accounting. Account receivable, account payable, expense tracking, and inventory are well managed here.

Sage Intacct is not easy software for those who have insufficient knowledge of accounting. It may be intuitive and easy to navigate. Sometimes it gets glitch or error. I wish if it could be proper B2B software integrated with banks for making payments.

What originally attracted us to this platform was the ability to do cloud accounting so everything was not centralized to one desktop application. We also liked how this platform could invoice AND process payments as that makes bank reconciliations a lot cleaner.

There was not a lot of instruction given around how to do certain tasks and we were not able to fully utilize this platform to the ability the salesperson pitched. This was mainly just used for financial report, AP and AR but we were told it had cash management and forecasting capabilities which we were never trained to use.

Sage Intacct uses the cloud to maintain all your bank accounts on one screen, allowing you to conveniently plan and schedule payments and make settlements. Sage Intacct's user interface is easy to navigate, and with all the options in one place, it's easy to see what's available and get things done quickly. I like that it automatically downloads, scans, and enters invoice data, avoiding human data...

It doesn't effect service quality. Sage Intacct is secure and easy to use, however it requires greater automation to eliminate manual entries.

1- easy to use interface for users and administrators. 2- truly cloud, updates and new features seamlessly take no effort. 3- security wise very capable of securing transactions entry and data. 4- integration tool with other systems is easy. 5- availability in more lighter versions

1- lack of experienced partner in the market for implementation. 2- localization as it's not suitable for all regions to use all the function so you may need to integrate with other systems specially for HCM 3- reporting and customization tools needs improvement.

Having everything on the cloud is great, and it has a bunch of great features that can really streamline your accounting process. Very nice to be able to easily access everything from one system and the ability to save report criteria is great for monthly tasks.

It can be buggy and slow, and customer support is lacking. Has trouble with multicurrency transactions and does not revalue accounts each month are current FX Rates

I like the fact that it is browser based through the cloud which makes access quick and easy. The modules that I use the most work very well such as Accounts Payable and Time and Expense. The General Ledger reporting function is very helpful and easy to use as well.

There are a few modules such as Prepaids, Fixed assets and Purchasing that we had purchased after the initial implementation of intacct that did not work very well initially. There were many work arounds and technical problems that created alot of unneeded headaches and work. Fortunately this has been fixed now for the most part and works well. Another issue I have is the support community that I put support tickets in when I need some help. They don't seem to know the product very well and often the solutions and advice I receive is partially right or wrong altogether. There have been instances where I have just figured it the problem myself through reading articles or experimenting with settings etc.

Hello Michael, Thank you for your review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience using Sage Intacct! I'm glad to hear that the AP and T&E modules are working well for you. Please feel free to reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help! Sincerely, Andrew Sevillia Sr. Manager, Customer Marketing Sage Intacct

I like having multiple dimensions to tag transactions with. This has helped us budget and forecast at a very detailed level, which has helped us understand what our variances are and get rid of extraneous expenses. We also love that it is a cloud system, which helps us be mobile and flexible with when we use it.

We were not impressed with the prepaid module as it did not work well with our processes. We decided to discontinue using it and go back to tracking in Excel.The reporting is definitely a step up from Excel, but it can be inflexible sometimes and not the best for complex reporting.
