Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ease of use of this tool was great, I was trained on this software back in 2017 and used it through 2020. The tool allows for quickly jumping through the various aspects of the tax return. In particular, the flow through abilities to compare changes from prior years along with adding in corporate, partnership or other flow-through information is greatly helpful when coordinating multiple workers working on the same individuals set of returns when they have more then one type of tax return to file.
  • Very easy to navigate through this software and easy to understand what needs to be done. You don't have to be a Pro to use this!

Cons

  • The user interface and key combinations can be challenging at times and depending on the setup of the office, clients may have some issues reading or understanding the screen if you are sharing it with them. I used this program for years at my work, this was by far a very nice professional tax software and I had very few issues with the software. Some complained over the password and security aspects of the software being overly rigid, while some may see that as a complication given the ever increasing need for security, especially in this industry I would argue this is more of a positive then a true negative. My only real complaint with the software was that configuring printers and network devices could be challenging and the process for doing so could use improvement.
  • There was nothing I didn't like when I used this software.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Sales tax software selection shouldn’t be taken lightly because of the impact on the business from a financial perspective. Going through that process with Vertex was eye opening. They were able to guide us down all the necessary paths to ensure that the system was set up correctly. So, getting them involved at the start prepared us for a successful integration. The steps to the integration were clear and precise. Our UAT didn’t see any hiccups which made the go live date happen sooner than expected. After going live is when some of the struggles a company could run into with software vendors. That isn’t the case with Vertex. We had questions and their responses were immediate and accurate. This brought comfort to management because nothing seems to be lingering. We have converted all our marketplaces along with our ERP to have one source of truth and we couldn’t be happier with that decision to go with Vertex.
  • Good solution to work with ERPs and billing systems. Reliable customer support. Had no issue with the software. Valuable price for the features.

Cons

  • Currently, there isn’t anything to dislike because they take on every challenge with a team of well knowledgeable staff.
  • It was difficult to setup everything and to use the software when we just installed it. If would be great if you offered a detailed guide how to use it.
