"Vertex user"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Vertex?

Customer service, up to date with tax legislation, easy to configure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great End-to-End Solution, But Support Escalation Needs Improvement"
5/5
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Good products, but need improvements"
4/5
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
