"No more fire drills at the end of the quarter, thanks to BlackLine"

What do you like best about BlackLine Financial Close Management?

I strongly appreciate its ability to produce journal entries without manual input. We used to enter all our monthly entries by hand which created excessive problems. The system performs these tasks much faster than before. It helps us complete journal work faster by three hours weekly because of its reporting tool. We appreciate the dashboard system which shows us current data and helps us recognize patterns quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackLine Financial Close Management?

Different modules may take too long to connect their data during work. When working on journal entries you must wait a long time to receive updated data from other modules. The system slowness creates minor delays during time-sensitive tasks. The app occasionally stops working and forces users to restart the platform. The problem causes annoyance yet arises only infrequently. The system provides limited choices when it comes to customizing its features. I want to modify dashboard elements to suit our exact requirements better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about BlackLine Financial Close Management?

I like that there multiple modules within Blackline that complement each other and help provide the end to end support within the financial close. I feel that Blackline is very user friendly and intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackLine Financial Close Management?

Due to how our Accounting responsibilities are assigned, we do not leverage Journal Masters much and I wish there was a different way to setup dependencies for our month end close tasks so that the team does not need to manually certify them each period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Top TIer"
5/5
What do you like best about BlackLine Financial Close Management?

Integrating accounts is something that many companies do, but I find that the Task Management module is extremely useful and can be used outside of Accounting roles. Implementation of new items is easily accomplished thanks to knowledgeable Customer Support Managers and BL Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BlackLine Financial Close Management?

Some employees would say that it allows for Close to occur too quickly! They have to keep a fast pace in order to meet the 5 day deadline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
