Flexible dimensions and excellent custom reporting make Intacct a fantastic accounting suite
What do you like best about the product?
I implemented Intacct for my organization after doing a lot of research and demos for 3 main reasons:
1. Custom reporting doesn't require a degree in Crystal Report writing and database setup
2. Being able to set up and work with multiple dimensions, like departments, programs, funding sources
3. Greatly increased visibility to managers and decision makers via dashboards
Other accounting software can do some of these things, but I haven't found a system that does them as easily or as well.

What do you dislike about the product?
Like many accounting systems with lots of features and flexibility, Intacct is built to work with large manufacturing and distribution companies as well as small nonprofits like my group. The pricing structure may make it difficult to afford for small nonprofit companies, regardless of how well some of the features work for nonprofits. Our organization can only afford the core module, and adding just one module which includes some of the features we need would more than double the annual cost. So we've had to look for less expensive solutions outside the Intacct ecosystem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Things like budgeting/forcasting, analysis of historical data, quick answers for leadership or auditors, are all made easier and quicker with the extremely flexible AND user friendly custom reporting features.
In our small group, I'm the only accountant, so "separation of duties" is difficult to say the least. But we are able to use electronic approvals and signatures, and the Purchasing menu, so that non-accounting staff can help us stay in compliance.
Intacct allows us to make adjustments and reclass transactions easier while still maintaining an appropriate audit trail.
Managers and decision makers now have a much higher visibility in real time of how their programs are doing financially. We used to have to export data to Excel, fill out template reports, to print and give managers on paper.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Anyone considering changing accounting systems will have to weigh the cost against the benefits. Can you afford those slick features? Sometimes settling for less automation and efficiency may be necessary to keep from blowing your budget. Just make sure you have a good way to measure the value in time savings and efficiency, and being able to more clearly see where you're headed financially by gaining features your current system doesn't have.

efficient system
Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The layout and organization of the software is easy to use. They release new updates quarterly which improve features of the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
Custom reports take a long time to build because it takes a while to get all the Account Groups set up. It sounds like they have made improvements to this feature but I haven't tried it out yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to streamline and sync the accounting records and processes of several sister organizations to since we began to use Sage Intacct. This has enabled comparison of financial records, effective communication within the accounting software and consistency among several organizations.
Great Product for the Money
What do you like best about the product?
Intacct is very user friendly and the UI is very easy to use. Intacct has high customization, and the product receives frequent quality of life updates. The core services are relatively inexpensive compared to many other competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a lot of helpful and useful modules for Intacct, however they can become quite costly for a non-profit who is always looking for places to save money. Also, the new interactive report writer is amazing, but the additional cost to utilize it is not something that our Organization can handle right now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to provide our auditors with user access to Intacct so they can run their own reports and view all the scanned supporting documentation has saved lots of filing time for my accounting staff. We were also able to eliminate paper Purchase Requisitions by moving everything online through the Purchasing module.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to sit down and determine exactly what you want your accounting software to do for you. Chances are Intacct already has the capability to do it, but you just need to know exactly what you want to do prior to implementation to make sure you get the most of of your product from the start.

A cloud-based solution for the virtual office...
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization operates from home-based employees. Sage Intacct is the perfect solution for us! It allows us to operate in a virtual environment with all the protections and checks and balances that come with being in one physical location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Dislike is a strong word. I would value more flexibility in budgeting modules. There are some quirks working in the Mac environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transaction approval responsibilities are assigned to individuals located all over the United States. Those individuals change from year to year. Intacct provides the perfect platform to view and approve transactions from any location, at any time, by individuals who we can assign as needed.

What do you like best about the product?
The reports are excellent in Intacct.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Vendor set up is very limiting. I would like to be able to take a vendor that was set up at one location and expand it to the top level. Would also like to be able to combine several vendors if users create a duplicate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Very easy to compare the different locations and their spending.
