## Vertex Reviews
  ### 1. Effortless Sales Tax Management with Vertex

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Larry T. | Corporate Tax Accountant, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 25, 2026

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

The main thing I like about Vertex is I don't have to worry about changing the rates on a monthly basis or tracking that. I also don't have to worry about whether something's taxable or not as long as we invoice it correctly and we've put the correct rules in place. It pretty much automates probably 98% of sales tax decisions, which is a great relief.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

Well, right now, we have a situation where there are special rates in California, depending upon what you're doing and where it's at. We're currently working with the Vertex representative to set up the rules properly because we've tried on our own, and it doesn't seem to be taking the special role. If there was some sort of analytics where we could put in, you know, code two or three if it was pre-populated into the monthly updates, that would be helpful, then we can just link it to the customers who qualify for that. That would be great.

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

Vertex automates tax rate changes and ensures compliance without manual checks. It integrates with our ERP to query and apply correct tax rates automatically, reducing manual returns preparation. I like not having to worry about tracking rate changes or sales tax decisions, automating around 98%.

  ### 2. Automated Sales Tax Calculation with Minimal Effort

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Caroline T. | Tax Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 24, 2026

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

I love how Vertex calculates our sales tax for all of my company's ecommerce orders. I appreciate that as jurisdictions change tax rules and rates, everything is automatically updated in our system. The O-series really helps with our ecommerce sales tax calculation, and it's constantly fluid and updating. It's mostly automated, which means we don't even have to think about it.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

The custom reporting is sometimes hard to make it give me the data I want. It can be a little confusing as there are just so many categories and different ways to 'group' info that I'm not always sure what I need.

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

Vertex calculates sales tax for our ecommerce orders, automatically updating as tax rules change. It's mostly automated, so we don't have to worry about it.

  ### 3. Easy-to-Navigate Interface with Automatic Tax Rate Updates and Powerful Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2026

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

I like the interface because it is easy to navigate. I like that when tax rate changes occur, we do not have to make any adjustments or try to keep up on them ourselves. I like that I am able to run reports that give me the exact information I need to reconcile. I like that we can test transactions before implementing them into Production.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

There are some reports in the returns program that are missing taht would save us loads of time each month. One is having a consolidated applied credits report, instead of having to run one for each state or return.

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

They are helping us get into more countries and with integrating new systems.

  ### 4. Vertex Review from QuidelOrtho, A Healthcare Organization

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Avnish G. | Senior Manager, Corporate IT, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2024

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

We have been using Vertex for the past 10+ years for tax calculation and reporting for the USA. It exceeded our expectations, and now, we are planning to use it globally. We are present in 40+ countries.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

Vertex is well connected with ERP like SAP; however, it still needs to improve on many tools around ERP, like ARIBA.

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

Tax calculation and reporting.

  ### 5. IT professional supporting AP, Procurement, & Tax Department use of Vertex

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Damon L. | Senior Developer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 23, 2023

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

Tax data updates are easy & quick. They also provide the updated location information the business requires.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

HR location updates aren’t handled in real time the way AP location updates are handled.

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

Tax estimation for AP and Procurement is automated through Vertex On-Demand, which benefits my company because it isn’t a manual process like our PA tax estimation.

  ### 6. Outstanding Support and Guidance, But Needs More O-Series Training

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Liz C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

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

I like our customer support team, they are always helpful and answer our easy and tough questions. I also appreciate that they do not try to sell us more programs every time we chat, they help us with planning for the future and provide us guidance on how they can help us reach our goals.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

I wish there were more O-series trainings, I think the tool is very powerful but unfortunately I think I've only scratched the surface.  I would like to learn how to more effectively use the system.

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

They make sure we are compliant with our sale taxes, and they have helped us stay out of trouble with the states.  They are also helping us figure out the taxability of the products we sell, and help us with the incredible number of returns we have to file any given month.

  ### 7. Trusted Tax Solution with Cost Concerns

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shirley G.

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

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

I find Vertex highly beneficial for making better use tax decisions. The tools provided, such as the Vertex plus tools and vendor recon, are particularly helpful in this process. These tools assist in evaluating taxes and purchasing decisions, allowing for a more efficient decision-making process. Additionally, I appreciate the straightforward setup of Vertex, as it was easy to implement without any challenges. The pricing also stands out as a factor that makes Vertex an attractive choice, as it was one of the reasons I would consider purchasing it again. The overall experience with Vertex is satisfactory, and I am impressed with its capabilities and effectiveness in helping with tax-related decisions.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

I find the cost of the Accelerator Plus tools in Vertex to be high.

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

I use Vertex to make better use tax decisions, with its tools providing valuable assistance.

  ### 8. Excellent Taxability Insights, But Reporting Needs Improvement

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Billy T. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

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

The taxability information available in the tool. I am able to look up a specific taxability category and see what states a product is taxable in as well as the specific state rules related to that product.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

When it comes to reporting, I find that some of the reports in Vertex are confusing and feel more like a data dump than a truly usable report. While using Vertex's reporting features, I often had to manually manipulate the data quite a bit just to extract the information I needed.

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

I don't believe Vertex is actually solving any major problems for us, but it does offer significant benefits through its available tools, which assist with the audit process and support my daily sales tax tasks. While Vertex provides what I need, I feel that we are not utilizing its full potential.

  ### 9. Vertex Streamlines Accurate Tax Calculation and Reporting

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2026

Vertex is a very enhanced tool that support tax calculation and tax reporting on a very efficient way. It helps to standardize and automatize processes on a very accurate way. It helped reducing human resources and many human mistakes

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

VAT Compliance tool has some limitation and it is not always up-to date

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

We could leave behind us the robust Oracle tax setups. With Vertex we have clear tax rules and standardized tax codes. With Vertex we have same setup for example for all EU countries and we could have globalized tax treatment

  ### 10. Vertex user

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2025

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

Customer service, up to date with tax legislation, easy to configure

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

Reliance on consultants to provide some of the support for services.  Possibly Vertex has more in-house services but seems like in 2019 when implemented we had to use a lot of consulting services to get set up.

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

Currently use classic Cloud and it helps a lot with our Workday integration to discover new suppliers that are potentially taxable.  We have set up rules to streamline process and not pull new suppliers that are known not to be taxable.

  ### 11. Great Rate Tracking, but Pricing and Customer Support Need Improvement

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** March 30, 2026

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

Having it keep track of rates and rate changes.  Not having to file returns myself.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

Customer support - they don't understand the customer that they are working with.  pricing is also an issue

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

The only thing that they are solving currently is managing the rates and filing returns

**Official Response from Laura Marie Blackburn:**

> Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback - we truly appreciate you being candid about your experience. We’re glad to hear that Vertex is delivering value through accurate rate tracking and return filing.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Liudmyla G. | Tax Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 13, 2025

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

Vertex has excellent support; all issues are resolved promptly and with thorough explanations. They have developed a great reporting filing system that is easy to use and understand.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

The system of settings is quite complex, and there is no onboarding system for new users. Some changes can only be made through support, such as updating company profile information.

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

Vertex collects data from our users and greatly simplifies reporting. It helps stay compliant.

  ### 13. Friendly UI and Awesome Customer Support

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sthefany P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

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

Vertex Customer Support is great to count on when you need assistance, and the UI is easy to use, intuitive, friendly

I think we can improve the filtering of rules in the UI and also improve ways of bulking editing in O Premises, I miss a way of changing end dates in once

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

Vertex solves all of our tax calculation, what reduces in a considerable way our effort in searching for rules to keep the company compliant

  ### 14. Great End-to-End Solution, But Support Escalation Needs Improvement

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

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

end to end solution options, friendly and readily available contacts that are really listening and taking into consideration your needs and wants for future releases.

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

Customer support tickets can take awhile to get to the right contact. We work closely with the tax research team and typically our support tickets are inquiring about their content but it takes awhile to get the ticket escalated to the correct person when we already know what is wrong. And by the time we get down to a solution its already been multiple MDU releases. Additionally, the SOCs do not provide any context as to why a change was made so we waste a lot of time trying to identify if content was just a fix or an actual law change.

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

Vertex allows for us to get more granular and accurate tax rates than our original home grown system allowed.

  ### 15. Good products, but need improvements

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2025

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

Vertex works great for US and CA SUT/GST/HST tax calculations. I like the customizability with the Tax Assist Rules. I like that they offer multiple products

**What do you dislike about Vertex?**

It would be nice if the Vertex products had a direct connection between the different products, ie. O Series ON Demand to VAT Compliance / VITR / Express Returns, etc.  The UI on Vertex O tends to change without notice. With Service Releases/updates, functionality that was working is no longer working. The documentation for all products could be more robust. Additional matrices for all Imposition Types and Recoverability is greatly needed. Better documentation on how certain tax types/impositions work with the ERP would be great. We need quicker resolution of tickets. Tickets take way too long to be resolved.

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

Vertex is helping us standardize and automate our SUT/GST/VAT calculations and reduce the processing time for our VAT Returns process.
