Collaborative Powerhouse for all Teams
What do you like best about the product?
It's extremely user friendly and has a minimal learning curve if you are able to use Excel or PowerPoint. The features are designed very similarly and are fantastic for team collaboration. The linking feature also allows seamless automating of many tasks that would have otherwise required manual updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be nice to be able to use Excel keyboard shortcuts (Alt keys) to be able to be more efficient with formatting functions. Alternatively would like to see hotkeys for some of the most commonly used features like format painter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to centralize large sets of data across hundreds of users (that all submit datapoints) to our team. It helps us be able to manage this a lot easier as we have all spreadsheets linked to the final PowerPoint decks.
Pretty decent

Inconsistent products, some good features but many pain points
What do you like best about the product?
Blackline function, tracking of who makes changes
What do you dislike about the product?
The excel within workiva does not have all of the features that excel does which makes doing work much more time comsuming. Formatting is challenging and changes without me trying to, with the accidental slip of the mouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None, it is replacing a different product that also had its strenghts and weaknesses
Very good, but has areas to improve on

It crashes a lot. It can be very slow to open pages at times. Some functionalities are difficult to understand, such as rolling forward master documents and keeping linking files.

After talking to our workiva team, they share new and great features that we end up using.
Good product
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate that Workiva updates in real time and operates similarly to a Google sheet, but better. I also like the view function to filter on only my assignments without rearranging everything for all viewers.

The only downside to using workiva is that we have to manually input from FCCS feeds
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us see account fluctuations and perform internal controls to catch errors.
Financial Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
I like how organized the platform is, i'm able to plan out each page of the FS and MDA, with bookmarks. As well, multiple users can edit the file simultaneously
What do you dislike about the product?
The connection could be slow at times, as it takes time to manoeuvre to different files or export files
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to issue FS and MD&As in a consistent manner, as we can link numbers to multiple sections
Workiva works!
What do you like best about the product?
A couple of months ago I accepted a new role as a Financial Reporting Manager where we use Workiva. I hadn't been in a reporting function in over 5 years and as such, that was the last time I had used Workiva. I was nervous that even though I had used the platform before, that it would be different or drastically updated from when I last used it but, I was pleasently surprised to know that the ease of use and intuitive features where pretty much the same, albeit with obvious small improvements. After using various platforms that are a pain, Workiva is everything but that and a joy to use daily. Way to go Workiva for creating a quality platform for reporting!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes formatting little things aren't that clear and usually a matter of trying different things until it looks how I want it to but, not a major thing by any means.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
An efficient way to compile quarterly and annual SEC reporting requirements.
Streamline project tracking with Workiva.
What do you like best about the product?
As someone who is in charge of team coordination and project tracking, I have found Workiva to be extremely supportive. The system it has is really a time saver for us in our documentations, especially those complex external-facing reports. I like the capability of linking directly to sources within documents as it guarantees data consistency and transparency. The interface in general is nice and very friendly, which shortens the time for new team members to get into the system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nevertheless, I think that the authorship controls can be improved. It becomes quite chaotic when several users are editing a document at the same time, and I would like to see better management features for such situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The use of Workiva has solved several important issues to us, especially in eliminating the risk of errors in our financial reporting. It provides for live updates so our documentation is always up-to-date making compliance checks easier.
