"Reliable and multiple options"

What do you like best? I really like how user firendly the system is. We never experienced any falls or problems with the software, The support team is always reponsive within minutes. System is very reliable. In my company we manily use the Account and Task Module.

"Easy to use - Account Certification made easier for audit compliance"

What do you like best? Audit trail ability and different roles that user can have. And the best part is it is easy to navigate through the Blackline system due to its user friendly interface.

"Hard to Configure at First "

What do you like best? Easy to view files related to certain accounts. Can categorize by many different things such as account number, company code, business unit and description which makes it easy to find certain reconciliations What do you dislike? Hard to configure at first. The default view it gives you may contain information not used by your company. For example the default configuration for me included team, risk, and reviewer which we don't populate. Took me a few tries to figure ...

What do you like best? I like best that BL gives us a clear visibility and tracking of the account recs and Intercompany transactions. I like that it's all cloud based and IA can access any time they want. What do you dislike? We were one of the first users of Intercompany hub and a lot of configuration wasn't done yet. We are still waiting on the line item invoicing function. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are solving the IC invoicing ...
