"Easy to Navigate with Great CSM Support and Smooth SSO"
4/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

users are saying it's easy to navigate. I love my CSM; she is great. But my entire implementation team was great as well. I also like the SSO feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

Request need to be numbered. No if and or buts about that. We do hundreds of requests per SOX year. It would also be nice to have a separate IT SOX request area and BP SOX request. My BP team do not relate to my IT, and things may confuse them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from JD Garciano of Workiva

Thank you for your feedback, Erin! We’re glad you’re enjoying the ease of use, support from your team, and SSO features. We also appreciate your suggestions on request numbering and separating IT and BP SOX requests and will take them into consideration.

I really appreciate Workiva Sync because it saves time and eliminates data entry mistakes. The filing process is easy to manage, and the support assistance is timely, which I find very helpful. I like that Workiva is a user-friendly filing tool and onboarding new users is straightforward. The Customer Success Managers (CSMs) are especially helpful, always available to provide help when needed. With over ten years of experience using Workiva, I can confidently say it's an excellent tool, particularly for SEC filings. I would even give it a 10 for SEC filings.

"Amazing Support, Critical for SEC Reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

I find Workiva invaluable for SEC Reporting and SOX Compliance. It easily connects to our financial ERP, which significantly reduces the time needed to compile information for public reporting. I also love that it provides a centralized location for SOX compliance checklists, controls, etc. Workiva has an amazing support team that makes me feel like a valued customer even with such a large platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

There can always be more customization around the SEC Reporting side. I wish there was more ability to create reports that may cross-reference multiple data sources from Intacct. Also, the setup for SOX Compliance can be very tiresome, but that's to be expected with such a large project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from JD Garciano of Workiva

Thank you for your feedback, Brandon! We're glad Workiva is streamlining SEC reporting, centralizing SOX compliance, and connecting seamlessly with your financial ERP. We appreciate your input on customization and SOX setup and will share it with our team to enhance the experience.

"Streamlines Financial Filings with Consistency"
4/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

I use Workiva for filing our consolidated financial statements, and it makes the process seamless with the ability to link the same data points across various sections of our 10Q/Ks. I appreciate the consistency it brings throughout our filings. My favorite part is the ability to link data and create a single source of truth. The setup was also easy with the help of a consultant and Workiva's customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

The formatting could be enhanced to align more with Word. Creating tables can be a hassle to get the alignment right within the margins given that everything is wrap text. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from JD Garciano of Workiva

Thank you for your feedback, Ross! We’re glad Workiva’s data linking and single source of truth are helping streamline your 10-Q/K filings and ensure consistency. We appreciate your note on formatting and table alignment and will continue working to enhance the experience.

"Streamlined Financial Reporting with Ease"
5/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

I use Workiva for drafting financial statements for our employee benefit plans. I love that it provides a one-stop shop for internal stakeholders and auditors to review the financial statements, eliminating the need to PDF and distribute them. The linking functionality is the best part for me, as it significantly reduces the time needed to roll statements from one year to the next by updating links throughout the statements with one click of the 'publish' button. The setup was easy, and for my purposes, it checks all the boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Source Linking and Database-Driven Numbers"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

Easy to link and have references to the source data, or links to other publications for ease of reference. And how it is linked to the database for numbers. Also the help chat and articles are super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

Some times forgetting to publish data, maybe a warning would be good. And sometimes linking more than one source for exhibit indexes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from JD Garciano of Workiva

"Streamlined SEC Reporting with Robust Collaboration"
5/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

I really like how easy Workiva is to use and its collaborative tools. The advanced permissions and Wdata linking features stand out as extremely useful. I find redlining particularly convenient as it's very easy to track changes from any previous version with drag-and-drop options. I also appreciate the concept of 'one source of truth'—when I update a single number, everything linked to it gets updated throughout. Additionally, I like that new features are continually being added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

Tickmarking or mark ups can be improved to create a fully electronic binder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from JD Garciano of Workiva

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you find Workiva easy to use, with powerful collaborative tools, Wdata linking, redlining, and the “one source of truth” feature helping streamline your reporting.

"Streamlined Financial Reporting with Immediate Data Access"
4/5
What do you like best about Workiva?

I really like that with Workiva, requests are available and updated immediately for use by the requester. This feature means there is no delay for the requester to incorporate my data into financial reports, even if there are complications that delay input until late hours of the due date. Once my data is approved or submitted, the requester has it instantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

My least favorite aspect is that sometimes I cannot easily find a request. It may perhaps just be the way my company has set this up. I have seen some improvements over the past year or so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from JD Garciano of Workiva

Thank you for the review, Sue! We’re thrilled that our instant data updates are helping you meet tight deadlines and streamlining your SEC and regulatory reporting. We’ve also noted your feedback regarding the discoverability of requests; I’ve shared this with our product team to keep making navigation more intuitive, and we’d love to help your company further optimize your specific setup.

What do you dislike about Workiva?

I’m not able to export blacklines in Word. The only export option I see is PDF, and that can limit how usable the comparison is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Luis! We’re thrilled that our linking and data integration are streamlining your 10-Q/Ks and press releases, and we’re excited to support your expansion into management presentations.
