## About Sovos
Sovos is tax compliance software that helps businesses determine, report, and remit taxes and meet e-invoicing mandates across nearly 200 countries from a single platform. Companies use Sovos to automate sales &amp; use tax and VAT determination, comply with real-time e-invoicing and continuous transaction control (CTC) mandates, file and remit returns, manage exemption certificates, and handle tax information reporting such as 1099 and related forms. Built for enterprises and high-growth businesses, the Sovos Compliance Cloud unifies indirect tax, e-invoicing, and regulatory reporting so finance and tax teams can keep pace as governments move to real-time, digital enforcement. Sovos processes 16 billion+ transactions per year for 100,000+ customers — including half the Fortune 500 - and integrates with the ERP, billing, and procurement systems businesses already run, such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics. Sovos Intelligence, powered by the Sovi AI assistant, adds natural-language analytics and cross-dataset reconciliation, so teams can catch discrepancies before filing and answer tax-authority questions in hours, not weeks. Sovi is Sovos&#39;s AI assistant, part of Sovos Intelligence. Tax and finance teams can ask questions about their own compliance data in plain language and get instant reports, charts, and insights. No SQL or analyst ticket required. Paired with Mirror Visibility, which reconciles e-invoicing, VAT, and SAF-T data across sources, Sovi helps teams catch discrepancies before filing and respond to audits with source-backed evidence.

## Sovos Reviews
  ### 1. Sovos Is Useful, But Support Isn’t Always There When Needed

**Reviewed by:** Chikodinaka N. | Service Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2026

Sovos is very good, and it has really helped me with many aspects of their product. Overall, my experience has been positive, and I’ve found it useful for understanding and working with what it offers.

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

Sovos has often been too quiet and hasn’t been helpful when I’ve needed support.

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

When it comes to the problems I have, it definitely helps.

  ### 2. It's a comprehensive platform designed to handle all your tax compliance needs in one place.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sahib A. | E-Commerce Brand Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2024

**What do you like best about Sovos?**

It's a comprehensive platform designed to handle all your tax compliance needs in one place. It helps streamline your tax compliance and smooth the process for the same.

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

It is a complex software to understand and may take time for a user to get used to it.

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It assists in accurately charging the correct sales tax rate on orders and facilitates the filing of sales tax returns.

**Official Response from Michelle Yancy:**

> Sahib - We appreciate you sharing the benefits you are getting by using the Sovos platform for your sales tax compliance needs.

  ### 3. Pros and Cons working with SOVOS

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2022

**What do you like best about Sovos?**

Sovos currently files all of our state returns each month/quarter.  They are done timely and my rep is very responsive and easy to work with.   Regarding their technical help, at least one tech is excellent to work with and will solve most issues, if I can connect with him.

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

The initial set up was very costly, with our company being charged every time we called for assistance or were ready to set up new state jurisdiction.   This was above and beyond the initial fee.   Also, we use Net Suite and the two systems (Sovos GTD and NetSuite) are not working well together in identifying those clients that are tax exempt and have exemption certificates loaded, requiring us to manually override any transactions to suppress sales tax.  There is also an issue with SOVOs over riding the tax calculation made by our retail web site, changing the Cash Receipt with it is imported into NS, causing it to not match the initial sale $'s on our website.  The difference is usually pennies, but it does cause reconciliation problems

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Keeps our system tax rate calculation current with state changes for better compliance, time savings when they file our returns with the states and ease of reporting regarding sales tax for each state and jurisdiction.

  ### 4. SOVOS for sales tax filing and resale certificates

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Sovos?**

Our account manager is very helpful and gets issues resolved quickly

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

Case system to get service and solutions

**Recommendations to others considering Sovos:**

The case system for asking questions and getting issues resolved is clunky

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Filing state sales tax returns

  ### 5. An sluggish solution with so-so support compared to Avalara

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thanh T. N. | Senior Accounting Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Sovos?**

The system has at least the following features that I can think of:
a. Updated rules, rates, exemptions about tax
b. Up-to_date Data for all jurisdictions
c. Custom Transaction-Level Reporting
d. Data Aggregation and able to sync with Salesforce and NetSuite

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

I can't think of anything that I dislike about this company or solution. We went through an ERP migration from GP to NetSuite, and we need to implement a tax solution within a short period. It was an amazing experience with the account management and support team. 
However, two years later, we end up switching to Avalara. Avalara is more intuitive and easier to use.

**Recommendations to others considering Sovos:**

After using Sovos for two years, we switched to Avalara as Avalara is easier to use and more robust in functionality. If you use Netsuite, this is a great combo.

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The system eliminates the burden associated with tax filing and compliance work. Without a system like Sovos, I can not imagine how any company can keep up with the ever-changing tax landscape. In the US alone, there are thousands of jurisdictions. 

  ### 6. Quality Support

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Machinery | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2020

**What do you like best about Sovos?**

Received high quality support relating to expiring security certificates.  They helped us at every step to ensure the new certificates were generated and installed properly.  The risk of losing productive connectivity with Sovos Taxcloud had been mitigated.  Marvin the engineer we worked with was highly engaged and eager to help us generate the certificates properly and retain connectivity in our development, quality assurance, and production environments.  Marvin has always been a pleasure to work with..

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

It would be helpful to receive notices of any disconnections or outages we experience in production.  This would eliminate issues we have with miscalculating tax for some invoices. In some cases it was difficult to narrow down the root cause of some connectivity and slow performance issues.  Tracing tools and early warning alerts would be great in assisting us with making sure tax calculations are always accurate.

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tax calculations

**Official Response from Ben Sipe:**

> Our support team is committed to providing an exceptional experience for all of our customers. We appreciate you taking the time to call out your positive interactions with our team in this review. We care deeply about the success of our customers and feedback like yours is what fuels us each day.

As we build new products, we are taking a multi-pronged approach to improve our communication process with our customers. We will soon be able to communicate and announce planned maintenance windows in-app. Even more powerful, customers can subscribe to their products and adapters to receive real-time alerts. (https://status.salestax.sovos.com/) Lastly, we always send email communications to announce planned maintenance, and when there is an outage. We are continuously reviewing our systems and protocols for ways to improve your experience and your feedback is greatly appreciated.

  ### 7. Service/Account Management is splintered

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2020

**What do you like best about Sovos?**

Coverage of countries, API was easy to setup

**What do you dislike about Sovos?**

Split account management for tax and e-invoice

**Recommendations to others considering Sovos:**

Consider E-Invoice and Tax determination as separate contracts. You won't have a common account manager and it feels like two separate companies when you negotiate terms.

**What problems is Sovos solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tax compliance and e-invoicing. Tax determination has been realized.

**Official Response from Andrew Elvester:**

> We are glad to hear that our solution was easy to integrate and is providing the value you were expecting. It also seems like you’ve experienced a bit of a disconnect with the teams supporting the different tax products. If you are open to a conversation, I’d appreciate the opportunity to schedule a meeting with your Sovos team to discuss how we can provide your teams with a more unified experience.  You can reach out to me directly at Andrew.elvester@sovos.com
