Focused on inventory and accounting production; valuable inventory control and sales recording
The Acumatica features I found most valuable are inventory control and sales recording Additional features I would like to see in the next release are more flexible reporting options. I would specifically benefit from the ability to create comparative reports for many months instead of having to…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The way everything integrated well with everything else was most valuable. We had one solution for everything, from the first phone call down to follow-up visits for wholesale callers and for just regular purchases."
"This solution supports multiple branches."
"It's a powerhouse and it delivers. It has really great audit trails in it, which add so much value that the other systems don't have."
"The most significant advantage of this solution is its pure cloud-based nature."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution helps us create entity models for each acquisition as we acquire companies.."
"Sage Intacct, a full-fledged ERP, can handle complexity that smaller accounting software cannot handle."
"We also use some of the other Sage solutions and for the most part, everything was integrated in the manner that I found beneficial."
"Its custom reports feature is also noteworthy, as it provides flexibility for users to create their reports, tailored to their specific areas of expertise."
"It's a top-tier upgrade for the finance department and does extend into full ERP."
 

Cons

"We should be able to personalize it for the company. There should be more customization of the pages so that they seem more like a company rather than as an outside company. We should be able to change company images and things like that and do this kind of personalization."
"For support, we go through a distributor, and the support we receive from them is much better than what we would from Acumatica directly. When we went to Acumatica support directly, we were not happy with it."
"The solution doesn't have features to break down the structure for multiple people in the project."
"The inventory module is quite tricky to use."
"We have had some pharma manufacturers use Intacct at a very early stage and move to other ERP packages to maintain manufacturing controls and documentation needed for FDA-regulated entities."
"In the next release, I would like to see greater integration with the RPA software that's been created."
"Their training is the biggest room for improvement, and their documentation can get very confusing."
"While we can create, post, and manage general entries, we face a limitation in allocating multiple JL accounts."
"The area where I would like to see significant improvement is in stock management."
"It would be good if the training were perfect for all controllers, to teach them the basic tools and how to use everything in Sage Intacct."
"There's a little bit of room for improvement in the way that accounts payable approval workflows are set up. They could be a little more powerful than they are."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive for a small business. If you're a small business, it is not a very good solution in that aspect, but if you are big and have more manufacturing, it is well worth it. It comes with the ability to integrate with one website. We had to modify ours. We customized it so that we could do hundreds of websites. In Texas, I believe that we were the only one ever to be integrated with hundreds of websites. So, the development of our API probably cost us a hundred grand, and then there would be maintenance. That's all outside of the standard licensing fee."
"Compared to other ERP systems on the market, it offers competitive and reasonable pricing."
"Sage is on the higher end of pricing."
"It's reasonably priced, offering fixed pricing, which is quite fair."
"The price is comparable to other companies which offer similar products."
