Pros y Contras de UltraTax CS

El equipo de soporte es muy servicial. Siempre son muy pacientes. Y hacen seminarios web para nuevas actualizaciones cada año. Escuchan las sugerencias de los clientes y realizan actualizaciones. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

No se pueden abrir varias ventanas al mismo tiempo. No se puede abrir el mismo cliente para un año diferente. Durante la temporada de negocios, el tiempo de espera para el cliente es muy largo. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

El software es bastante preciso, en general. Es fácil ver los efectos de su entrada en la declaración de impuestos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

El soporte de este año (TY2016) es HORRIBLE. Dejamos LaCerte debido al costo y al mal soporte. Ultratax ahora es igual de caro y el soporte es peor. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I enjoy the capabilities of UltraTax. Having an import function to automatically transfer over client's trial balance saves a lot of time. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I do not like how when exporting to other Thomson Reuters products (i.e. planner cs) the tax return does not always tie out. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The software is updated frequently with the ever changing tax laws. These updates consider the users inputs and seem to work well. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

You have to use the software almost on a daily basis to keep up with all the changes made during tax season. If you only do one or two tax returns a week it would be tough to keep up with all the different used of Ultra Tax. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The program can be fast and not too extremely difficult to use. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Everything else. The pricing is horrible for what you are getting. They nickle and dime you for everything. Some of the pricing information that was given to me when I signed up was misleading I feel. Apparently Ultra Tax is older technology and every time you call with a question, there is a charge. This month, I got a bill of over $700 just because of calling and asking questions to learn how to use their software. Worse, I am still confused what charges are extra or not. Their invoice is not clear so I do not even know what my bill will be next month. I do not recommend this product and will look elsewhere next year. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

On demand updates on Forms based on input view Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

not enough keyboard shortcuts and the input screens looked outdated, editing the custom letters was a bit cumbersome Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

So far, I like how fast the software opens, but I think that's due to our upgraded server. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I never thought I would hate a software company so much. Thomson Reuters has made my job very difficult. There have been problems with every aspect of UltraTax, including simply logging in! The following is a list of everything with which we've had problems:

1) Logging in

2) Training (they need more trainers to accommodate their clients' schedules)

3) Getting different answers from different people on many things

4) Had to buy a $10k server, or else pay $1,500 a month in web fees for cloud-based software.

5) Thomson Reuters had issues communicating with our IT firm, which resulted in a two-month delay. We've been using our contracted IT firm for years. They're experts. They've admitted this has been a challenge for them--Thomson Reuters, apparently doesn't design its software to conform to industry standards, which made for a difficult transition to our new server.

6) Support response times unacceptable. I am currently on a chat. The display says I started at 12:15 at number 7 in the queue. It's 12:27 and I'm still number

7) Also, I've emailed support--all they do is direct me to the stupid help section (which I've already searched!) 7) Sales person who initially suckered us knows NOTHING technical or even things he/she should know about the product he/she sells.

8) Software is not user-friendly. It took my looking through the 60-page manual and having to speak with a support rep to know how to add an event to a client's page. (This was discussed during a previous training, but the trainer was busy and referred us to support.)

9) Trainings are not recorded. I think for the level of money we're spending, Thomson Reuters should be providing us with recordings of our trainings. I'd like to point out I specifically asked about free training videos. Our salesperson had no idea where to direct me. I spent a lot of time searching the CS Professional site and found some--the salesperson should've known how to direct a client.

10) CS Professional (back office) is a nightmare to navigate. I've wasted countless hours trying to do things on my own to avoid having to involve a support rep.

11) Updates- Even these are a nightmare. You have to "retrieve licenses" and "renew subscriptions" before you can even apply simple updates! Also, with every update, there's a screen with dozens of buttons that need to be addressed--if you're a tech maven, you might be fine, but even the experts at our contracted IT firm have been challenged by Thomson Reuters' excessive requirements.

12) Transitioning from ProSeries. Limited info transfers from ProSeries.

13) Migrating ProSeries data into UltraTax. Again, our IT firm even had issues trying to migrate our data from ProSeries to UltraTax. Even the Thomson Reuters support had problems with this on our behalf. This took a long time and money to complete.

14) There are more issues, but I can't think of them right now.

15) File Cabinet, while I know is not UltraTax, is a program that almost all UltraTax users will need to use to store docs. File Cabinet is not user-friendly. It's difficult to even rename a folder without having to search a manual or speak with a rep. Enough already! We just want a system we can use.

We haven't really put the software into use yet. We're still trying to overcome all these obstacles. We're all very scared of the upcoming tax season, needless to say.

It's now 12:51 and I am still in the queue... Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

UltraTax CS es excelente para hacer casi todo tipo de declaración de impuestos. Preparo todo tipo de declaraciones (1040, 1065, 1120, 1120S, 990, 1041, etc.) y definitivamente hace el trabajo. Funciona especialmente bien en declaraciones simples, especialmente las 1040. UltraTax CS tiene un sistema de navegación muy fácil de usar para ingresar todos los datos necesarios para preparar una declaración de impuestos. Pude aprender a usarlo viniendo de un software diferente casi de inmediato. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Lo único que no me gusta de UltraTax CS es cómo maneja las declaraciones de traspaso multiestatales. En las declaraciones de sociedades, 1065's, si tienes un traspaso K-1, no maneja muy bien la distribución estatal. He mencionado esto a UltraTax CS y espero que pronto esté disponible un mejor método de entrada de asignación, pero en este caso, se queda corto en comparación con Prosystems FX.

Thomson Reuters consistently delivers high quality in their products, tax in particular. The intuitive design and simple interphase makes preparing return an enjoyable experience. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The system can be slow at times and even slower when updates are in process. However, that could be because of system limitations Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

WHEN YOU FINNALY GET A SUPPORT REP ON THE PHONE THEY ARE KNOLDEABLE. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Unbelievable long wait times for support. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
