It doesn't even compare. Sage is far better than Financial Edge. No contest.

I like Financial Edge for non-profit accounting the best as it provides a great foundation for fund accounting. It integrates the best with a donor database and the reporting options are truly amazing.

There are certain features that are preferable in Sage when compared to Financial Edge, but there are also features we miss when comparing Sage to our previous system such as the database view. The customer support seems to be better so far.

Sage intact is better than most of the products I have used. I feel that it's always upgrading itself to be a better product, and it always allowing programs to have a streamlined integration. I feel Financial Edge's bank reconciliation would always disconnect and the system …

Although Financial Edge NXT has made many improvements over the years, the Financial Edge database itself is very clunky and difficult to use. It feels very dated and is not user friendly in display or ease of use.

Financial Edge was not built to be a cloud-based platform, and it was VERY evident. Only a very small portion of the functions have switched to the new UI, and most of them are still older systems with a new face. It was very clear that Sage Intacct was built from the ground …

Sage Intacct was the best stand alone solution to meet our needs. Financial Edge did not integrate well with Salesforce. Accounting Seed is not a mature application. And NetSuite is trying to do way more than we need.

I selected Sage Intacct when it was just Intacct (before merger with Sage). I compared it against Financial Edge from Blackbaud. Financial Edge appeared to be more complicated based on user interface and it was also more costly.

Intacct won because it had the capability to use multiple books without much thought. Our organization needs both a cash and accrual set of books and Intacct supported that out of the box. No other system did.

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.

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.

Customer service blames the customer, and never offers solutions other than "wait it out." I've always been told it's my computer, even though everyone else at my work has the same issues.
Website is constantly "under maintenance" and it somehow never gets better.
The Database View is outdated and glitchy. Honestly get rid of it.
The Crystal Report is the only way to handle monthly recurring statements, and Financial Edge does not offer support for it anymore. Good luck figuring that out on your own.

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.

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.

I would give this a zero if I could. Here's the deal. Once you request a chat with a representative, they immediately respond. So responsiveness: 10/10. However, they have a tendency to (always) tell you that whatever problem you're experiencing is your problem, not theirs. They offer no solutions and never take responsibility for their website malfunctioning

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.

The free training is very minimal. For what we pay for the service, I would like more training.

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.
