What do you like best about the product?
How the software allows for multiplier users to be working in the same document at one time
What do you dislike about the product?
If a user isn't that familiar with the software, they may open up a presentation or other document, make a minor change, and then log off the program (or time out of) without sharing the change. The document is then locked until the admin can somehow unlock.

I would like to see faster calculations and availability to use more data in the workbooks. It seems to slow down when too much is entered and spreadsheets is still working out its bugs.

We use it for internal reporting and filing with the SEC.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Wdesk really is a great tool for internal and external reporting. I would highly recommend it.
Exceptional product and service
What do you like best about the product?
Linking capabilities, group collaboration and document review options are outstanding
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is cumbersome and can make it difficult to properly scale for the entire process since some members of the process make very small contributions to the reporting process, though obtaining a license for them must be done at the same cost as someone who uses the solution for nearly 100% of their job. I understand they're revisiting their pricing model for non-Financial Reporting functions (i.e. accounting close, internal audit, etc.), but that they continue to use the old, more expensive model for financial reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linking between the document and workbook, block linking from one document to another (helpful for preparing something like an earnings release), document collaboration with ability to attach supporting documentation into the document/workbook (essentially combines Word, Excel, Network drive for saving support and Email for review/questions) into a single and simple solution) and collaborative review portal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I couldn't say enough about WDesk. In all seriousness, I love the product enough that I've thought about approaching them to join their sales team because I believe it's a huge value creator in businesses using other solutions.

Collaborative and Streamlined Presentations with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that once you get a template on Workiva, I do not have to go back and adjust all of the inputs once they are done. We use Workiva to allow multiple people to work on decks all at once and set up a common template.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the formatting could be improved to work more easily. It took a bunch of time and was not the easiest to implement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Workiva for presentations, allowing multiple people to work on decks simultaneously and set up a common template. I like that once a template is made, I don't have to adjust all inputs. Some formatting could be improved.
Great collaboration tool
What do you like best about the product?
I love the ease of use and collaboration
What do you dislike about the product?
when people forget to share changes made
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes compiling documentation easier and allows users to track changes throughout the document
Easy to use, familiar MS Office interfaces
What do you like best about the product?
This produce has a familiar interface, using many of the Word and Excel features that Finance business users are already comfortable with. Gone are the days of pencils-down, no more changes to your filing for up to 3 days before your SEC deadline. I love the linking capabilities and the hyperlinking capabilities for exhibits. Blackline versions are easy to create so you can see what changed from one version of your document to the next, and review is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
XBRL is still a little cumbersome if you're not already familiar with the tagging process. It would be helpful if the program offered more robust tagging suggestions, rather than having to search through other companies' filings for similar disclosures and tags. However, finding the correct tag once you know which tag you want is very easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're filing all of our SEC filings with Wdesk now. IR uses it; Legal uses it. It's easy to collaborate within the reporting team and among the various teams at our company.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lots of training is available. If you need more experience in a certain area, contact your CSM - there may be additional training available that isn't immediately provided on the website. Attend the local user group workshops - it's interesting to hear what Workiva is putting out in the next release, and your local resources are great references in the future when you have an issue with the product.
