ACL Analytics Reviews

I use the tool for duplicate payment searches. I analyze payments and select samples for testing. I combine different reports from various systems for subsequent analysis. It helped me uncover duplicate payments in the past. 

The tool's most valuable feature is its ability to import files from other software packages. Its reporting and visualization capabilities have made our reporting easier. Importing results into spreadsheets or other documents for incorporation into reports is particularly helpful.

For someone coming into it now, fresh out of the box, it will probably have a steep learning curve. When I started using it, I underwent some training, which helped.

The software's effective integration with other systems and data sources in our environment is notable. I find it pretty straightforward. I can easily download and import a report from a specific system.

The product's pricing has increased over the years. 

I rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. 

I am the single user of the product in my company. 

I get an answer whenever I call support. 

Positive

The tool's deployment is easy. It only requires one to two resources. 

I would recommend the tool to others. It's done what it's needed to do for me. I rate it a ten out of ten.

No.

Look for a good consultant who knows the product.

The ability to rapidly test 100% of data without having to worry about altering or corrupting the original data. Can easily find errors and duplicates, as well as perform calculations. Data from multiple sources can be joined. Numbers, characters, and text can be analyzed and even extracted from PDF files.

It is very helpful in recovering overpayments and accounts payable monitoring. For example, duplicate payments, missed discounts, price discrepancies, and credit memos not taken are found very quickly. It is also helpful in finding gaps in check sequences, unauthorized vendors, and even dollar payments which might indicate fraud.

The live training costs are too expensive. There are free self learning tutorials included with the product, but it would be nice to go to a class with an instructor.

Deploying the product was very easy. After I signed the contract, I was given login information and after a short download, I was up and running.

I have previously used Microsoft Office programs such as Excel and Access. ACL can handle larger data sets. It also offers more flexible testing since the user is able to write their own testing scripts. It is a more intuitive interface and is easier to use functions.

Just a simple download and an Excel add-in bonus was given.

I just did everything myself.

The product pays for itself very quickly. In just one job, you can recoup the cost. It would be higher had I paid for the training though.They have changed their pricing model. Now it's an annual fee instead of a one time purchase.

I looked at TopCAATs (Wolters Kluwer) and IDEA. It seems that ACL is the most prominently used product in the industry, and that is the main reason I went with it.

I think it is great, but requires some devotion to learning. It is an audit product with some data visualization capabilities. It is meant to do data cleansing and finding errors, which makes is much more comprehensive than BI products like Tableau. A CAAT product combined with Tableau if a frequent combination.
