ACL Analytics Reviews

I use it for some matching that I try to do, and I use it for checking for duplicates. I do benefits analysis on it to look for outliers and things like that.

I'm pretty sure it's the most recent version that I have.

I like the fact that in the duplicate section, I can find matches, and I can find situations where certain cells or certain cell points match, but there's a difference as well between two different records.

The ease of use could be better. In terms of additional features, I'm not that educated on all of its features. I could probably take a couple of classes.

I've been using Analytics for probably five years. Before that, I used the regular ACL package for a few years as well.

I've never had any issues with stability.

I process some fairly large files. In terms of its users, currently, I am the only one using this solution.

I've used them a few times. They've been pretty helpful whenever I had any issues.

It was pretty straightforward. IT helps with its deployment and maintenance.

The pricing for me as an individual seems a lot. For our organization, the price is okay. It's about $6,000 a year. I don't know of any additional costs.

My advice to others looking into implementing this solution would be on a one-on-one basis depending on what their needs are.

My satisfaction level with this solution is a 9 out of 10.

Automated audit revision with scripts.

• Programming by scripts.
• It is very flexible and has hundreds of functions.

Reporting and presentation of information directly to solutions, such as PowerPoint.

No, we have not.

Initial setup is straightforward. I use only the desktop software and have no connection to OCDB or others.

No comment.

No.

Look for a good consultant who knows the product.

The ability to rapidly test 100% of data without having to worry about altering or corrupting the original data. Can easily find errors and duplicates, as well as perform calculations. Data from multiple sources can be joined. Numbers, characters, and text can be analyzed and even extracted from PDF files.

It is very helpful in recovering overpayments and accounts payable monitoring. For example, duplicate payments, missed discounts, price discrepancies, and credit memos not taken are found very quickly. It is also helpful in finding gaps in check sequences, unauthorized vendors, and even dollar payments which might indicate fraud.

The live training costs are too expensive. There are free self learning tutorials included with the product, but it would be nice to go to a class with an instructor.

Deploying the product was very easy. After I signed the contract, I was given login information and after a short download, I was up and running.

No issues encountered.

I have previously used Microsoft Office programs such as Excel and Access. ACL can handle larger data sets. It also offers more flexible testing since the user is able to write their own testing scripts. It is a more intuitive interface and is easier to use functions.

Just a simple download and an Excel add-in bonus was given.

I just did everything myself.

The product pays for itself very quickly. In just one job, you can recoup the cost. It would be higher had I paid for the training though.They have changed their pricing model. Now it's an annual fee instead of a one time purchase.

I looked at TopCAATs (Wolters Kluwer) and IDEA. It seems that ACL is the most prominently used product in the industry, and that is the main reason I went with it.

I think it is great, but requires some devotion to learning. It is an audit product with some data visualization capabilities. It is meant to do data cleansing and finding errors, which makes is much more comprehensive than BI products like Tableau. A CAAT product combined with Tableau if a frequent combination.
