Is NetSuite or Sage Intacct better for a multi-location/multi-entity business (rollup)?

Is anyone on here intimately familiar with either one or both of those systems? We are looking to deploy an ERP into a multi-location/multi-entity rollup. We've done a substantial amount of diligence and had many conversations with both vendors, but looking to hear pros/cons from users.

Thank you!

For a long time, I recommended Intacct. That was before Sage bought Intacct. Since then, my experience with Intacct, and that of my clients, has been less than satisfactory. The enhancements have been slow in coming, customer service has declined, and the product does not function as well as expected. On the other hand, I used to dissuade clients from NetSuite. The product functionality was very broad but not very deep and the sales organization was notorious for promising functionality that could not be delivered and being overzealous trying to close the sale. However, in the past few years, especially since Oracle purchased NetSuite, the depth of functionality has improved substantially, and the sales and support organizations have matured into more professional organizations. Except for the fact that NetSuite is more expensive than Intacct, NetSuite is the better product and I now recommend it to my clients. I would be glad to discuss this further with you offline. --@----.com

Both of these solutions are multi tenant cloud based which means minimal custom programming is needed. It all depends on the target vertical you are integrating ERP on. If your target deployment is in distribution or Mfg then Sage is not a good fit at all!
From personal experience, Netsuite can certainly handle more complex biz operations and has scalability advantage over Sage. But it'll also be more costly to implement and if the annual revenue is sub $10M, it might be an overkill.
