“Workiva Feedback”

3.0
Sep 30, 2025
We were told that the tool had more capabilities than what it had. Workiva has been a great partner in trying to make it right; however, there are still many limitations. It ended up taking a year longer than the estimated implementation timing advised up-front of 8-12 weeks. There has sense been leadership organizational changes as a result to address these issues.

Like

Good for audit management, Customer Service

Like

I like the Workflow automation feature that allows me to automate tasks that can be carried out in the background with my supervision, this allows me to multitask and reduces manual labor for me and my team. I also love how Workiva can analyze and link relevant data across various documents, providing deep insight for comprehensive reports and audits. Lastly, i like how Workiva makes it easy to collaborate and share information with other departments in our workforce in real time, this promotes inclusivity and transparency across all departments.

Dislike

While Workiva delivers strong functionality overall, there are some areas for improvement: 1. Export limitations: as Workiva operates its own proprietary productivity environment (rather than MS Office), some complex formatting can be lost when exporting to MS Office (e.g. Word, Excel). 2. Limited analytics: with the focus being on reporting and governance, some of the analytics and visualisation capabilities are not as strong as some of the BI tools. 3. Pricing and licensing flexibility: generally considered a premium solution, costs can be higher than alternatives with limited options for seasonal or fluctuating needs.

Dislike

Everything is custom and there are very minimal off the shelf options.

Dislike

I believe the platform delivers excellently on all its required tasks. I cannot think of any downsides to the platform, there is only room for more improvement.
