Reporting and analysis
The heart of any accounting software lies in its ability to provide valuable insights:
- Both Sage Intacct and iplicit allow users to access real-time financial dashboards and drill down into data.
- iplicit excels with tailored report generation for different users, whether it’s a CFO, department head, or board member—allowing each stakeholder to focus on the data that matters most.
Cost transparency
Understanding the real cost of software is vital.
- Sage Intacct offers a basic package with additional features as paid “modules,” ranging from a few thousand to over £16,000 annually per module. These hidden costs can add up rapidly.
- iplicit provides almost all functionality as part of its inclusive pricing model, making cost predictability far easier.
Implementation time
Switching systems can disrupt regular workflows, so speed is crucial.
- Sage Intacct implementations often take between 75 and 120 days, potentially adding delays to vital business processes.
- iplicit prioritises rapid deployment, completing implementations in days rather than months. This means minimal downtime for your team.
System integrations
Flexibility in integrations is important for any growing organisation.
- Both systems offer open APIs for integration with payroll, CRM, and payment systems.
- iplicit's flexibility extends to tools like Zapier, offering seamless connections to over 6,000 applications, ensuring your existing tools integrate with minimal barriers.
Data migration
Access to historic data is essential for audits and financial planning:
- Sage Intacct typically migrates two years of data by default, charging extra for larger quantities.
- iplicit offers comprehensive migration of up to seven years or more at no extra charge, ensuring seamless access to past records.
Every pound counts, and understanding the real cost of software is vital:
