"Visual Lease User - Tenant"
What do you like best about Visual Lease?
It gets the job done. The think I like the most is that it does what we need it to do. It meets all of our needs from 842 implementations, to rent payments, to tracking renewals. It does it all. Multiple departments use Visual Lease and it does a good job at meeting all of our needs.
What do you dislike about Visual Lease?
Sometimes the user interface is a little wonky and other times the amount of data that gets pulled is overwhelming. For example, when we pull the data that we use for our rent uploads it will pull 50+ columns of data. It's not a huge deal, but it can be overwhelming for new users.
What problems is Visual Lease solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our main reason for implementing Visual Lease was the adoption of the lease accounting standard 842. There are plenty of softwares that can do this. The reason we chose Visual Lease was after reviewing multiple of the big lease accounting softwares this one was the one we felt would be most useful for other departments. When making this selection we wanted to make sure we did not just get something that worked for us, but instead helped everyone that deals with leasees.

"Easy to use complete Lease Management and Accounting System"
What do you like best about Visual Lease?
I like the ease of use best. It is a modern online tool and most things come intuitive. The system is quick in its calculations and so much better performing than a Big4 tool we were using before. You have transparent data as well as reports available to gain a quick overview of leases as well as access data very quickly.

Actually only one thing, as the accounting files can only be started by administrators, while multiple accountants need to use them. But that is just a 5 minute burden in a month...so no big deal.

We are using VL as a subledger for ASC842 as well as IFRS accounting. We have also been expanding the usage to make this the repository for all contract and SOX compliance documentation with direct access by auditors to the data and documents.
