"Great tool for data analytics!"

4/5

What do you like best about Caseware?

CaseWare IDEA is one of the best tools on the market to analyze large masses of data. As I engage with clients who have large lists of their customers, bank transactions, etc., our team has to sort through the data for errors and find mistakes. These tasks would be very tedious and time consuming, but IDEA allows us to quickly find errors in a matter of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caseware?

CaseWare IDEA has many likable features. I cannot find anything that I dislike about CaseWare IDEA other than the fact that the software can easily bog-down when sorting through data sets greater than 100,000 lines or more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Caseware:

If you are looking for a piece of software to minimize mistakes and lower your inherent risk with sorting through masses of data, CaseWare IDEA is exactly what you need! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Caseware solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our team is able to bring the level of associated risk in sorting through large sets of data at a lower level than ever before. The inherent risk of missing a key piece of data is extremely high, but using a software such as CaseWare IDEA, that level of risk is brought down to something tolerable.

"Caseware for Large Accounting Firm"

5/5

What do you like best about Caseware?

What I most liked about Caseware was the format of the working papers, the ability to create and clear comments and the integrated capabilities with programs like Excel. I also liked being able to see prior versions of files in case you made a change and then at a later date wanted to go back and get the old version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caseware?

There were no features for Caseware that I found negative. The software worked great for all of the clients I worked on. The file can take time to download if it is large in size (usually a lot of PDF's in something like a perm file). We had some client's that we had a separate Caseware file for just the perm file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Caseware:

This is a great tool for external auditors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Caseware solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organization of audit workpapers and the ability to link client trial balances to excel. Caseware connector is an Excel addon that can pull balances and journal entries based on formulas into audit workpapers themselves for ease of reviewing and verifying balances.

"Glitchy"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Caseware?

I like that I am able to see the trial balance and the working papers without closing one or the other. I like that I am able to easily create automatic reports such as grouping schedules for each audit area, I like that Caseview documents are able to be edited by staff to tweak templates to the letters we need for each client. I like being able to link balances and other engagement information into excel and word documents using Caseware connector, however this feature is probably the glitchiest of all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Caseware?

I dislike that the formulas and formatting used within the Caseview documents do not match the equivalent function in Excel. Also, when we purchased the product, a deleted workpaper went to a place within the software called the recycle bin and could be recovered. Caseware has now done away with the recycle bin and a deleted document is gone forever. Furthermore, you cannot print a departmental income statement from an automatic document. You have to make an income statement for each department using that department's context and print them all to get a departmental picture. Smartsync repairs never work. If you have a sync issue that cannot be resolved by confirming one version over the other, there is seemingly no way to resolve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Caseware:

Why does Caseware continue to issue software updates without testing them so we are constantly installing patches? Why do they take away useful features of the Working Papers product? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Caseware solving and how is that benefiting you?

The creation of an audit template from which we can create new client files and push out changes to standard workpapers for an industry has allowed us to streamline and make sure we are issuing a consistent product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
