It is fairly customizable, yet easy to implement immediately, without costly integration fees or a long lead time. The team is constantly staying on top of updates and provides helpful training to customers. > > **Cons**: Team member roles do not restrict certain functions or access to other locations at this time. > > Very satisfied - I can see the product growing and trust working with Sustain.Life. Any requests for improvements I have discussed with the team are either already on the product roadmap or have been implemented. ----- ### "SKG Services - ESG Journey" — 5.0/5 > **Hayden** | *10 June 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was very usable and the platform is great to use. The components of measuring our emissions, Reporting our emissions and strategies to minimise the emissions are so easy and quick to understand. > > **Cons**: The integrations for the electricity companies were a bit hard to connect as it wasn't allowed to connect to the electricity company platform ----- ### "Save Your Money" — 1.0/5 > **Robert** | *9 August 2019* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nothing. It makes obtaining reasonable assurance more difficult than it needs to be. > > **Cons**: This software is terribly painful to use as it is not intuitive. Testing of controls is extremely cumbersome as WDesk and Microsoft Office programs are not compatible. For example, the print area of an Excel file must be made before uploading into WDesk. If this is not done, a 5 tab Excel file will become a 40 page file in WDesk. Also, you cannot see the formulas in Excel in WDesk. It is very difficult to obtain any kind of assurance if you cannot check the accuracy of the supporting documentation you are being provided by the business. I would highly suggest that Workiva contract with a public accounting firm to get an idea of what is required in order to be compliant Sarbanes-Oxley, how external and internal auditors perform their test of controls, review workpapers and so-forth. Another issue is the lack of a drag-and-drop feature. In order to put the supporting documentation to the appropriate control, documents must be added one at a time. The business cannot perform a mass upload and then drag and drop the supporting documentation to the applicable sample request. This wastes a massive amount of time for the tester and the business. At my previous position, the internal auditors and the business used SharePoint for providing documentation and for testing, and it worked perfectly. I do not have experience with Blackline, but my colleagues say it is a much better program than WDesk. > > Horrific ----- ### "A good replica tool for Microsoft" — 4.0/5 > **Sudhir** | *14 January 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Of all the features of this tool, I like the link feature the most as it allows you to update a particular sheet and rest of the linked sheets get automatically updated. > > **Cons**: One of the disadvantages of this software is it's historical data view option. If your original data was filtered then when you review an older version then you won't be able to unfiltered the columns to see the hidden cells as the file becomes completely uneditable. ----- ### "Wdesk user review" — 5.0/5 > **Kathy** | *13 April 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy to use. Produces quality documents. Excellent customer service. > > I have used Wdesk for almost 3 years and love the product and the customer service. The old process my company used was a Word document with Excel tables that was very cumbersome to turn over each quarter. Additionally, it was very difficult to maintain data integrity when one number was used in multiple locations. With Wdesk, flipping a document is a simple process. I update the date page information, and every date in our document is updated. The linking feature in Wdesk has eliminated our concerns about data integrity when one number is used in multiple locations, and when a table is used in both the footnote and in the MD\&A sections. The customer service has been incredible since the first meeting with them. During the initial set-up process they were always available to help both over the phone and using a Webex meeting. At this point, I dont have many questions, but my customer service manager contacts me every quarter to see how things are going and she completes an Edgar review of every 10-Q and 10-K before I file\! The professional services manager that handles our XBRL is also very attentive. We always have a meeting at the beginning of the quarter and one towards the end. You always know that they are there to help you\! Every year they have a TEC (The Exchange Community) conference. This in an incredible opportunity to learn about new products and to speak with Wdesk developers about what changes would help your company. Many of the new products and updates come from customer suggestions\! They also have training classes during the conference to help you build skills required for various types SEC reporting. I attended one TEC conference and took advantage of their XBRL classes. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/107113/wdesk?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/107113/wdesk) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
