Wdesk Review for SOX
What do you like best about the product?
Live chat support is my favorite feature. Additionally, the customer representatives assigned to our company provide very timely responses outside of technical issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that my company users often have difficulty logging in to Workiva. The system can be slow as well. And when live chat support is not available, I could not find a way to leave a support request despite the link that offers this feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva is an all-in-one platform for my SOX accounting needs. It is simple to navigate and stores significant data. The all in one feature is imperative. I would suggest Workiva refines their spreadsheet view, however, as their version of Excel lacks necessary features, is difficult to view, and is extremely clunky. Overall, though, I am happy with Wdesk.
User friendly and helpful technical support
What do you like best about the product?
The software is very user friendly and intuitive. It is easy to organize documents and XBRL facts and easy to submit the SEC filing. Tehcnical support chat & call center is always super responsive and helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe the SEC filing formating. For example, when the cover page and content shown on a word document are centered/aligned, the actual EDGAR formatting would look different when we upload the word document through Workiva, and the margin/layout might be distorted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to utilize Workiva to file all the required filings to SEC by ourselves, without having to use external counsel or financial service providers. It is time-saving and cost saving.
Workiva is a purpose built financial reporting tool that works.
What do you like best about the product?
Workiva does a great job of bringing the best features of Word and Excel and integrating them into one tool. Workiva then adds some neat workflow features that allow teams to collaborate in one file simultaneously. We previously wrote our 10-Q and 10-K documents in a Word document which caused us to have version control issues and a lack of collaboration, and it took significantly longer to produce these documents. Workiva solved all of these issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not a lot to dislike about the product. They are always making improvements to the product and listening to users needs on the message boards. One issue we have sometimes is that the blackline versions compared to prior periods are very loud and messy. One place where Workiva would do better is to add additional training to the optimization of the Spreadsheet and rolling forward documents from quarter to quarter. Some have created very complex formulas to automatically do this but Workiva doesn't currently offer any solutions in the Marketplace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva allows multiple users to edit the document all at one time. Workiva also enables you to create milestones to eliminate version control issues and allows you to blackline to show the changes that have occurred easily. Workiva also has an easy linking system that allows you to link numbers and dates so that there are fewer worries of potential mistakes. Workiva will enable you to work on the document up until the filing date without any costly fees for overnight returns of your document.

Valuable timesaving product

Workiva Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the software's intuitiveness regarding how easy it is to link up numbers in the financial statements. Also, using the XBRL tools is a plus, even if you have a professional service manager from Workiva performing that work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the fact that Workiva's new "XBRL Review" tool does not have any way to track for changes in an XBRL outline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped our company to be more productive because we spend less time preparing our financial statements now that we have automated links. The software is much more intuitive than the software we were using previously.
Assistant Manager
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ability to real-time connect with team on a document. The revision history, comments, cell history, links make it SO powerful! Certifications are powerful to manage reviews and approvals
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are brief outages of functionality (ability to add comment will disappear until I refresh browser, etc). I would like to be able to edit who is on a certification letter after it has been sent out, without having to delete and create a new one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connection between subledger data and Wdesk allows us to (nearly) instantly generate financial information in a synchronized place that can easily be disseminated to other areas.
Best SEC Reporting Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Workiva makes SEC Reporting quite seamless from the track changes ability, tagging, linking, multiple editors for collaborations and XBRL. It makes our jobs very easy once everything has been setup and roll-forwards are pretty seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike about Workiva. I think they could improve to functionality for rolling forward filings but that isn't a real hindrance to the process or tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva allows for all of our SEC Reporting process to be completed in one easy to use online collaboration forum. It also allows for the submission of the report and XBRL checks.
Wdesk Statutory Reporting Review
What do you like best about the product?
Workiva is a wonderful product for those seeking efficient and dynamic reporting solutions for their company or business. We have really liked its ability to link to data requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some product design elements are not as user-intuitive as they could be. For example, when switching between tabs or sections of spreadsheets, other aspects of the data request remains static.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Workiva to prepare our financial reports. It's great for sending data requests and using those to compile notes for financial statements and audit reports.
