Intuitive and Easy to Use, But Bulk Updates Can Be Time-Consuming
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and how intuitive the system is. Needing to use the system frequently, the fact that it is very easy
What do you dislike about the product?
When bulk changes need to be made, such as if there is a significant update to workflows or controls, it is sometimes difficult to update in bulk. Linking of data within the SOX workspace is also time consuming, even though the process itself is seemingly simple.

This tool has been instrumental in keeping us proactive about our financial reporting risks. It consistently helps us stay ahead, ensuring we can address potential issues before they become problems.
Effective GRC Solution with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Workiva significantly enhances our risk management process, making it far more efficient. I also find it highly beneficial for our compliance framework control mapping, which promises to simplify future audit preparations. The automation and data linking features stand out as particularly useful, streamlining our tasks and processes substantially. Overall, while I am still discovering its full potential as a fairly new user, I am quite satisfied with the capabilities offered by Workiva.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up Workiva was a bit challenging due to some difficulties encountered during implementation. Although the implementation process was generally good, there were issues with data corruption, which were not completely addressed by the setup itself. Additionally, I underestimated the amount of work required post-implementation, which added unexpected workload. I also find that the policies workspace does not automate tasks for policy approval based on data information, which could improve overall efficiency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva makes our risk management more efficient and simplifies compliance framework control mapping, which eases future audit preparations.

The streamlining of various moving parts in the making of a 10-Q
Workiva Enables More Mature Reporting Processes
What do you like best about the product?
The platform enables clear version control, as well as well-defined access restrictions and permissions. I also appreciate its built-in alignment with sustainability frameworks. A 20-minute training prepared data providers and approvers with the skills to complete their assigned tasks for the first time. We are much more confident we are able to get the right metrics to the right place in a more timely manner.

The spreadsheet has rather limited formulas and overall capabilities.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva is giving us confidence in our data and reporting process.
Complex Setup, But Effective Solution for Regulatory Challenges
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Workiva for about four years, and it has profoundly impacted our regulatory processes. The most valuable feature of Workiva is its data link key engine, which serves as the backbone of the software, providing a comprehensive view of data management. Workiva has made distributing spreadsheet tasks and maintaining consistency in figures between various reports seamless and automatic. This automated approach has dramatically reduced the time needed for public reporting, providing significant efficiency gains. The integration capabilities of Workiva with systems like our Oryn system are also noteworthy, as we can utilize the platform alongside other software without isolation. This integration has been crucial for us in simplifying complex tasks and improving the overall report and presentation accuracy for external records and board objectives.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found the setup process for Workiva to be quite rigorous and technically complex, which made it challenging due to its intensive resource demands. Additionally, I encountered issues with the user experience, particularly for administrators and configurators, which highlighted an area that could benefit from improvement. This has sometimes made managing the software more cumbersome than expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find that Workiva has enhanced consistency and automation in reporting, reducing the need for distributing spreadsheets and ensuring automatic updates for reports and presentations, assisting in reputation and compliance validation.

Working very well for organizing our SOX work.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to learn more about documents. It seems that you need to be careful or all of the control links will disappear.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing our controls and control testing.
