Great for Collaboration, But Needs Better In-App Help
What do you like best about the product?
Organization is easy to navigate; easy to collaborate with other teams across organization
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a help tool or resource. I often type questions into Google or AI to find out how to do a certain task I may have forgotten.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a control problem related to our earnings release - and the functionality with the business wire integration solved it entirely!
Great for Financial Reporting, But Beware of Add-Ons and Overhyped Features
What do you like best about the product?
Workiva is a great tool that allows for organization and presentation of data. That may include financial statements, sox controls, internal audit reports or carbon reporting information. As a combined package, it allows for a single vendor with savings over the licensing, training and support cost of multiple tools from different vendors. It is generally intuitive and easy to use. It also makes financial statement preparation, review and tagging much easier than competitive options
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is not really best in class in any area apart from financial statement preparation. They accomplish the requirements of each area and are worth the trade off in savings from having a single vendor but other dedicated, single purpose tools often do those individual tasks better. Their biggest strength is financial statement preparation, tagging and reporting but in their quest to extend functionality, they have fallen into the trap of buzzwords and trends (such as AI in name only) rather the focusing on building a great core. They also try to nickel and dime you over modules and extensions especially data connections/interfaces that really make your work efficient. The sales process is misleading when it comes to what the tool can do generally vs what they are providing in your quote. SLA is also disappointing in that they really don't even try to set a reasonable bar. I guess they assume that their solution will never be mission critical to a company and thus are unwilling to deliver even industry standard SAAS uptime promises.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has financial reporting, SOX, internal audit and carbon all in a single tool.
Intuitive and Powerful, But Key Features Locked Behind Upgrades
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Workiva is intuitive and functions like a cloud-based excel. I also appreciate the Workiva Sync functionality. I wish that my firm chose to also purchase the W-Data real-time data refresh package.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that you do not get all features of Workiva with the basic package that QH has. We do not have W-Data and thus the Workiva Sync is really a glorified copy + paste tool. I also hate that system functionalities are abridged simply because we did not buy the W-Data package - for example, the Find + Replace feature is a one-by-one adjustment rather than being able to select a full page or sheet and have it find / replace everything. This can sometimes take HOURS - what gives?!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva has stream-lined our close process with the Workiva Sync method. Before, it could take much longer for us to complete and update reporting during financial close. With Workiva, we have nearly cut that time in half. Workiva's Audit module also allow me to stay organized on upcoming due dates, as well as effectively upload all requested materials.
Excellent Cell-Level Auditing, But Tracking Removed Users Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
Cell level auditing provided by Workiva makes tracing changes to a specific user extremely easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
When a user is removed from the system, it can sometimes be difficult to track their changes as easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teams main use currently is for tracking Master Data requests in a spreadsheet. While Excel has an online platform, tracing who made changes, and what those changes are is time intense; with Workiva it takes 2 clicks.
Centralized Data Made Easy, But Needs More Excel-Like Shortcuts
What do you like best about the product?
Linking information and one source of truth
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of "excel" shortcuts or hotkeys for formatting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing the time to make financial statements by creating templates, reducing time in financial statement review and financial statement preparation
Comprehensive GRC Solution with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Workiva makes our risk assessments and certifications significantly easier. It simplifies the process of ensuring that employees have read and understood necessary policies, which is crucial for us. The control mapping feature is incredibly beneficial and helps streamline our audit preparations. I'm impressed with Workiva's ability to enhance workflow through its document approval and risk assessment capabilities, making these processes much more efficient. The automatic workflows also stand out, as they are particularly helpful in managing and organizing tasks across our team. Overall, these features contribute to a smoother and more efficient risk management process, aligning perfectly with our organizational needs for a comprehensive GRC platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
{"I found the setup process for Workiva to be challenging. Despite assistance from the Workiva team, some data imports were corrupted, and the implementation wasn't as thorough as I expected, making it difficult to get everything fully set up.","I am not entirely satisfied with the manual process required for pushing out document approvals. I would prefer if the system could automatically send out approvals based on the terms and review dates set, which would streamline the workflow."}
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Workiva eases our risk assessments and certifications, simplifies policy compliance demonstration, and improves audit efficiency through control mapping.
Efficient Test Management with Handy Tools, But UI for Responders Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how easy it is to track and manage test forms, as well as the helpful tools provided for working with these forms to complete testing. Additionally, I find it convenient that reporting can be done directly from the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is some downtime, and in addition, the user interface for responders could be more user-friendly, particularly when it comes to accessing and using the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing access to audit tools supports timely reporting and makes it easier to manage and protect data, helping to prevent its spread. The ability to track and log activities within set timeframes also ensures accountability among all stakeholders.
User-Friendly with Great Filing, But Lacks Dedicated Account Support
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, and I appreciate their Section 16 filing system.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish there were a specific person assigned to our account whom we could contact directly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Audit Management system is well-organized and efficient.
User-Friendly for SEC Filings, But Table Formatting Can Be Tricky
What do you like best about the product?
Workiva is extremely user friendly for SEC documents, especially the Proxy tables and ability to link data cells.
What do you dislike about the product?
One downside or challenge to using Workiva is the formatting. Sometimes it requires more skill than I have patience for to get tables to look exactly the way I want them to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AI is assisting in the SEC filing Intelligence with helping to find information quicker with more confidence.
Outstanding Experience with No Downsides
What do you like best about the product?
The overall experience is very good. Customer Support is better.
What do you dislike about the product?
None as of now. Will test more and let you know later.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The overall time management is better now.
