They are > > **Cons**: From time to time, updates to the system are not explained clearly; for example, when I requested access to a new sharepoint folder, thy did not explicitly let me know that I would need to reset my password and claim my new username. I also wish there was more accessible and transparent information regarding Admininstrator vs. Analyst capabilities. > > TLDR on Pros and Cons Pros: - Decent Speed to running Reports - Well-Organized Platform - Responsive Customer Service Cons: - Unclear capabilities between Analyst and Admin - Updates often - Longview Excel Add-on only works on Edge ----- ### "Best Provision Software I've Tried" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *8 April 2024* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The excel add-in makes importing / exporting data extremely easy. We've been able to reconfigure our standard excel based provisions into an importable format for ease of reviewing but then still have the data in LV to consolidate. > > **Cons**: There are random items LV doesn't have fully built out. For them most part it is great, but every now and then our consultant tells us of a workaround we need to use. ----- ### "Flexible and Scalable" — 4.0/5 > **Jeff** | *21 August 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Longview Tax is incredibly flexible and scalable for businesses of all sizes. It has dynamic push/pull interactions with Excel, allowing for instantaneous data refreshes and report customization, making your imagination the only limiting factor. > > **Cons**: Interim reporting functionality is limited, so manual carveouts for discrete events and application of FIN 18 may be necessary (if using a full-year forecast approach). > > As an almost 9-year Longview user, I've seen it perform at its best and its worst. I've also been through the ownership transition and the ebb/flow of leadership vision and strategy. The overall experience has been positive and I view Longview as having significant momentum in the right direction. Keep up the great work\! ----- ### "Tax Provision Utilization" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *24 April 2024* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to integrate with excel software to create online/offline files, and ease of integrating multiple entities/hierarchies > > **Cons**: LV excel formulas aren't immediately intuitive, but are easy to use once you get familiar ----- ### "Longview Tax" — 5.0/5 > **Eric** | *24 April 2024* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a recent college graduate entering the workforce, Longview Tax has been my introduction to tax software, and I've been particularly impressed by its Excel plug-in capabilities. Being able to seamlessly integrate with Excel has streamlined my workflow and made data management much more efficient. It's a feature I've come to rely on and appreciate in my day-to-day tasks. > > **Cons**: One drawback I've encountered with Longview Tax is the occasional need to refresh my workbook multiple times after pushing data into Longview. This process can be time-consuming and disrupts workflow, especially when ensuring accuracy is crucial. While it's not a major issue, it's something that could be improved for a smoother user experience. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/420921/longview-tax?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/420921/longview-tax) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
