Avoid WORKIVA is not what they advertise
Overall Satisfaction with Wdesk
We used it for Annual Reports and SEC filing. we are a mining company Problems: word and excel version 2007 very limited, force to redo all waterfalls, graphs, tables, etc. SYNC is a problem, very limited, unresponsive software creates massive files, once exported the format gets destroyed in WORD, creating duplicated files, once imported an EXCEL file loses all graphs, 99% of formulas, and all graphs. as you sync and made edits, you end up with 2 versions of the file. WORST experience ever. Microsoft TEAMs is being by far WORKIVA
Pros

- WDESK very slow and only basic tools
- creates duplicates and not compatible with office 365
