Good product

Overall I do like the product. It has so many great features that make filing returns easier. I can mostly rely on what is on the return I print out from Vertex.

What they liked
  • I have used Vertex for 10+ years
  • Whenever I have an issue all I have to do is call and customer service is always there to help fix my issue
  • The representatives are always kind and helpful
  • They follow through to make sure I am happy with the product and my issues are resolved
Room for improvement
  • Sometimes the critical changes come out after I finish filing my returns resulting in a possible problem with the return
  • Not so happy when that happens

Great product overall.

Overall, it's a great product.

What they liked
  • I love working the Tax Preparer Team at Vertex
  • They are the main reason I love Vertex
  • I also like how easy it is to upload tax data files into Vertex
Room for improvement
  • I wish that there was a better resource at Vertex for navigating solutions in O'Series, when it comes to resolving issues we discover along the way
  • Navigating the ticketing system and the various emails back and forth (only to get a mediocre answer) is quite discouraging
Switched From

Avalara cancelled our contract with them.

Why they chose it

"Vertex was compatible with our B2B website--which was required. The other two couldn't do this for us."

Vertex shines in the Reports

Easy of filing is a plus. Setting up custom tax categories has helped

What they liked
  • The Tax reports/Returns are mostly spot on
  • I work on 220 returns which Vertex tracks, once I understood the States layouts and how well Vertex matches each, filing has become very easy
Room for improvement
  • Credits are always hard to track
  • Sometimes Vertex applies a credit and the State does not handle the credit the same way
  • Manual adjustment to the tax records which the tax returns calculate from are confusing Being able to "void" test data would be a plus

Best software for sales tax and maangement without the overhead

We were able to get rid of our expensive hosted server solution and the maintenance that came with it. Being able to access Vertex data from anywhere in the world made our team more productive across the board.

What they liked
  • The best part of the cloud was not having to have a dedicated remote server for all our software
  • The old Vertex ran but required constant maintenance, monthly updates, SQL knowledge
  • With the cloud, no longer do you worry about down times, corrupted databases and the like
  • The Vertex team is very helpful from the moment you buy the software
  • Our support rep spent hours with us configuring everyhting out of the box to our exact specifications
Room for improvement

The cost of the software is pretty immense since you're pretty much renting a server Hold times can be a bit long in the customer support queue SaaS so once you stop paying, you lose access the software and any data if not backed up

Great tool, but internally we needed MUCH better requirements gathering in hindsight.

From an IT perspective, none honestly. It is a maintenance and support nightmare. However, in all fairness to Vertex, I feel this can be mostly if not completely attributed to our internal lack of sufficient requirements gathering before implementation.

What they liked
  • The potential tax savings and benefits it can uncover
  • As well as the gaps it has helped identify in some of our processes
Room for improvement

The cumbersome cloning and configurations requirements have proved to be especially difficult or time consuming throughout the process

Room for improvement
