It's fast to load large amount of data when the data is already clean Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The data have to be already clean to be able to be imported into IDEA. There are some formulas which you can use and some macros but is hard to use, almost not documentation available online and there are better alternatives like KNIME which is free and open-source Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CasewareIDEA actually leverages the latest technology which is an advantage for business analytics and auditors in the financial industry. I love the fact that it seamlessly provides key insights in trends , patterns and allows financial audits to be tailored to the specified need of the audit. It allows transferring of data from other sources to CasewareIDEA making it easier to carry out an audit. It has the more than just the standard tests needed to conduct a Financial Audit and also implements a risk-based sample model. It works in conjunction with Adapt IT and allows us to facilitate the audit from the consolidation phase to advanced analyses phase for any financial audit or business analysis. It includes project management and billing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does require training to use it to the full capacity however that is actually within the norm for any advance business software. It would require training for the usage and there are so many functions that it would require continuous training but once that is facilitated there is no going back to your old audit software I suppose personally.
