"Worst NetSuite Implementation Process"
What do you like best about Sovos?

Works OK once setup and their setup process did catch some errors in our tax reporting in one state. It also shows line item tax compared to the native NetSuite taxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sovos?

We have been in the implementation process since July 22 with a projected go live date of October 22. It is now almost April 23 and not completed. We installed the software into our NetSuite production account in December and are still spending hours manually doing taxes internally even though we pay for their services to file on our behalf. This has been nothing but a headache. Good luck if you have any customization or scripts in your current environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sovos needs to be more proactive in communicating outages/problems that the system's are experiencing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sovos Integrations are Simple to Use"
What do you like best about Sovos?

The most helpful thing is the simplicity and the ease of access. Sovos is easy to use because of the simple navigation and UI. The upsides to using Sovos are convenience and having a neat way to integrate important documents into your accounting system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sovos?

I primarily use Sovos for Resale Certificates. The only problems I encounter when adding an account to Sovos are if I make a mistake when entering the state, I have to change the expiration date to get it to wipe that entry. If I want to add multiple new accounts at the same time, I have to open a new tab to accomplish it; the website does not allow me to back out and start from scratch quickly.

"Best financial reporting"
What do you like best about Sovos?

I started working on Sovos this past February. It was my first time trying this software, and I was impressed with how many ways there are to load the information.

The best part is that you can work your financials in an excel workbook and import them in Sovos within seconds. You can also import PDFs. You can copy the previous statement or create a new one. It's just so easy and flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sovos?

So far, I can't say anything wrong about the software. The customer service has also been great. Every time I had an issue, I would get help within 1 hour from them. This makes it a great platform and a great company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rachel Hoffman of Sovos

Hi Silvana, thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! I am happy to hear that you've had a great experience with our customer service team, and that you appreciate the many ways you can load data.

"Pros and Cons working with SOVOS"
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sovos Experience"
What do you like best about Sovos?

Marvin is an incredible partner. He's calm, logical and very, very patient. His support has been invaluable in the time that I have been working on issues. He's an advocate for his customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sovos?

There have been some issues. I think the biggest one is because the cloud solution on the Sovos side was set up for cloud ERP, at our request. When we stayed with our on prem ERP, the Sovos set up, think, remained as if we were cloud ERP. I can understand why. It just caused some issues in the past. Now we know to tell everyone that we're different when we ask for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sovos?

The setup process was a little bit more difficult than I expected, but after it was completed it ran much more smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basic Integration for Sales Tax Needs- Customer Service Needs Work"
What do you like best about Sovos?

fast populated results- results from website are useful in submitting sales tax to each state needed. Lots of manipulation to get correct info- but better than manual process to complete each state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sovos?

customer service needs work- took 2 months to close ticket with rep; poor communication and email was "overlooked". Would have liked to resolve my issue before 2 month mark of no communication; told them to simply close ticket if they were not going to help me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
