What are the similarities?

Both NetSuite and Intacct offer cloud-based platforms. This means that the data will be on a network of remote servers hosted on the internet that will store, manage, and process the data. In turn this will save you money because the cloud allows for less infrastructure onsite, so the day to day maintenance cost is lowered significantly. Additionally, the cloud increases the security of your data because the cloud service providers are exceeding industry needs and regulations. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that your company’s data will be secure and ready when you need it. Furthermore, the cloud-based platforms will automatically upgrade your solution at no additional cost, so you’ll never be working with outdated technology. NetSuite and Intacct are both highly customizable and are focused on tailoring the cloud system to your company’s needs.

What are the differences?

The main difference between NetSuite and Intacct is philosophical. NetSuite is an all-in-one platform, meaning it has the capabilities of an ERP, CRM, and marketing automation as part of the platform. This all-in-one philosophy means that not only will your financial team need to choose NetSuite, but your sales team and marketing department will have to choose NetSuite as well. A single system provider may not be able to meet the needs of every department.

On the other hand, Intacct is strictly an ERP platform. It integrates with a wide range of other software applications, including popular CRM and ERP systems. Intacct’s “best of breed” philosophy means that you aren’t trying to fit your company into a one-size-fits-all tool. It also means that each department within your organization has the flexibility to choose the system that fits their needs.
